attendance, which is defined as a failure to attend three regularly
scheduled meetings in any one calendar year. Excused absence due to

be excused, the member must notify the director of recreation by letter no
later than noon on the Friday prior to a regularly scheduled meeting,
unless the absence is an emergency. Failure to notify the director of
recreation via letter will cause the absence to be unexcused. Excused
absences shall be entered into the minutes of the next regularly scheduled
meeting of the commission after the absence. A member may petition the
town council, in the event of extenuating circumstances, to excuse an
absence otherwise not automatically excused pursuant to the provisions of
