This <br />report covers the period of January through June 2023. <br />Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-326(c), if a member of a board or <br />commission absents themselves from two (2) regular meetings of such board or <br />commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission <br />expressed in its official minutes, or fails to attend at least one-half (1/2) of the regular <br />meetings of such board or commission within a calendar year, or is convicted of a crime <br />involving moral turpitude, or ceases to be a resident of the City, the office shall become <br />vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council. <br />Should City Council find that any member of a board or commission meets the above <br />noted absence thresholds, City Council may direct staff to return with an item declaring <br />such vacancy and removing the board or commission member from their <br />appointment. Any such vacancy would then be subject to appointment to fill the <br />unexpired portion of the existing term, pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2- <br />326(b) and following the required noticing procedures of Government Code Section <br />54974(a). <br />Vince Frazier, the Section 8 Tenant representative on the Community Development <br />Commission, has missed every meeting, without notice, during this reporting period <br />despite numerous and varied attempts by staff to contact him.
