Former Commissioner De Yurre had nominated William Chavez, Jr. and Dorothy Quintana, who were appointed by the City Commission as board members to the Citywide Community Development Advisory Board. Since the aforementioned nominating Commissioner has left office, Mr. Chavez's and Ms. Quintana's terms have expired. The term(s) of office of board members shall run concurrently with the term of office of the Commissioner that nominates each member. Therefore, the nominations for appointments needed to fill the seats currently held by Mr. Chavez and Ms.•.Quintana are to be made by Commissioner Carollo. Please also note that in the case of Mr. Chavez, he has been absent for three consecutive meetings within one calendar year (1995). City Code Section 2-430, entitled "Attendance requirement," reads as follows: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, any board member shall be automatically removed if, in a given calendar year; (i) he or she is absent from three (3) consecutive meetings; or, (ii) if he or she is absent from four (4) of the board's meetings; (ii!) provided that regardless of their compliance with subsection (i) and (ii) hereinabove, members must attend at least fifty (50) percent of all the board meetings held during a year. A member of a city board shall be deemed absent from a meeting when he or she is not present at the meeting at least seventy-five (75) percent of its duration. The provisions of this section may be waived by a four -fifths (4/5) vote of the members of the full city commission." Sandra Francis, nominated by Vice Mayor Cort, has been absent from three consecutive meetings within one calendar year (1995). Josle Poitier, nominated by Commissioner Dawkins, has been absent from three consecutive meetings within one calendar year (1995). Vice Mayor Gort and Commissioner Dawkins may nominate replacements for Ms. Francis and Ms. Poitier, or may renominate the same individuals, provided the Commission votes affirmatively by the four -fifths vote.

The answer to your question is in the affirmative. Sec. 2-430 of the City Code, which sets forth the attendance requirements applicable to all City boards, provides in pertinent part: "Sec. 2-430. Attendance requirements. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this code, any board member shall be automatically removed if in a given calendar year: (1) he or she is absent from three (3) consecutive meetings; or (ii) if he or she is absent from four (4) of the board's meetings, (iii) provided that regardless of their compliance with subsection (i) and (ii) hereinabove, members must attend at least fifty (50°%) percent of all the board meetings held during a year...". It is this office's opinion that Sec. 2-430 of the City Code applies to all those individuals appointed by the City Commission to membership of City boards. Resolution No. 86-47, adopted January 23, 1986, as amended by'Resolution No. 87-1006, adopted November 19, 1987, sets forth the requirements for membership to the Citywide Community Development Advisory Board, providing in pertinent part: "Section 2.
