Each commission shall adopt a set of rules to govern its own meetings and procedures. The rules may be amended from time to time, but only upon notice to all members that the said proposed amendments shall be acted upon at a regularly scheduled meeting. A majority vote of the Commission shall be required for the approval of the proposed amendment. All meetings must comply with the Minnesota open meeting laws. Sec. 2-68. Absence of Members. Attendance at commission meetings is of utmost importance to carrying out the work of a commission. If a member misses two (2) meetings the staff liaison will contact the member to determine their interest in continuing to serve on the commission and remind them of the attendance policy. If a member misses three (3) consecutive regular meetings or four (4) regular meetings in a calendar year the city manager, after consulting the commission chair, may recommend removal of the member to the city council. The city manager will be responsible for notifying the member of the intended and resulting action. Sec. 2-69. Record of Action. Each commission will keep a record of its resolutions, transactions, and findings, which shall be a public record. Minutes will be kept of each meeting and forwarded to the city council agenda upon approval by a majority of a quorum of each commission. Sec. 2-70. Task Forces and Subcommittees. Commissions, with consent of council, or council may appoint a task force to study and report to it on specific matters. After reporting its finding to the commission, such a task force shall terminate unless continued for a specific purpose. Task forces can include members of the commission as well as other qualified citizen or business representatives from New Brighton. Commissions may also appoint a subcommittee consisting solely of its members to complete tasks or assignments. Subcommittee reports must be approved by a full commission before recommendations are made to council. See. 2-71. Severability. The various sections and provisions of this division are severable; in the event any one or more of its sections or provisions shall be found to be invalid or otherwise defective by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or defect shall not operate to render other sections or provisions invalid.
