I think most people will agree that attendance is important if a board hopes to get things accomplished. This is why a mandatory attendance requirement is a condition for remaining on a board.
Why this is important was demonstrated recently when a city employee reported on attendance at the Image Board meetings to the City Commission. Based on the numbers reported, it appears that attendance is so bad that most members, if not all, will not be eligible for reappointed.
Everyone that I talked to tells me the Image board has accomplished nothing and should be given a failing grade. While this cant be totally blamed on attendance, that is certainly one component of the failure.
