One (1) Attendance waiver is required at this time:
• Carlos Morales was reappointed by Mayor Tomas Regalado on June 9, 2011. At the
time of his reappointment he had exceeded the number of allowed consecutive absences
(3 in 2011), and therefore, requires a 4/5ths waiver of attendance.
For your convenience, we are including a copy of the current membership of said board. By copy
of this memorandum, we are requesting that the Agenda Office place this issue on the September
15, 2011 Commission agenda.
