Subject: [USGW-Discuss] Bylaws Revision -- News
The Bylaws Revision Committee (BRC) has completed a first draft
revision
for
a new subsection of Article V. Duties & Qualifications of the
Advisory
Board
Section 10. Any elected Advisory Board member may be removed from
office for cause by 2/3 majority action of the AB, or, by a recall vote
initiated by petition of constituents (if 100 votes elected, 51
petitioners
shall cause a recall vote). Cause for removal by the AB is limited
to
continued, gross, and willful neglect of the duties of office. Causes
for
removal by constituents may include, but is not limited to, the
following
offenses: dereliction of duty, excessive failure to participate in
Advisory
Board votes, ethics violations, and behavior unbecoming an Advisory
Board
member. The petition must be posted on the BOARD-L mailing list at least
thirty (30) days before the vote takes place. Any vote to remove an
officer
must be preceded by a presentation of facts showing cause for removal
and
shall allow for rebuttal by the officer in question before the vote takes
place.
