CM Boylan provided an overview of the new attendance rules that took effect on July 1, 2026. He stated that Council Members must contact the Committee Chair prior to the start of the meeting and receive permission from the Chair to be excused. He added that no more than one Council Member can be excused from a committee meeting, with exceptions for military service and medical reasons, in which case there could be as many as two excused absences. He noted that five Members are needed for quorum and that two excused absences reduce quorum to four. He added that a Council Member with three unexcused absences over the course of the year will be removed from that Committee, and that Members must have permission from the presiding officer before leaving the dais.
