Members of appointed public bodies shall attend all regularly scheduled meetings of the public body unless they are unable to do so for reasons beyond their control. If a member of an appointed body is absent from 50% or more of the regularly scheduled meetings of the public body over a six-month period, the Chair or a majority of a quorum of the public body shall send a written notice of such member's absences to the public body's appointing authority with a recommendation.

Upon receipt of a written notice pursuant to § 10-1 of this chapter, and after offering the member an opportunity to respond, the appointing authority of the public body may remove the member so absent by written notice to such member, a copy of which notice shall be filed with the Town Clerk, whereupon the frequently absent member's removal from the public body shall become effective. Thereafter, the appointing authority shall fill the vacancy created by such member's removal in due course.
