LAFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY ) — No more excessive absenteeism is the opinion of two Lafayette council members about board and commission members who miss consecutive days. On Tuesday, the councils are to vote on the proposal to remove such appointees.
The proposed ordinance in short form cracks down on board and commission members who fail to do what they signed up for. According to the ordinance, part of what they signed up for is to attend meetings.

City Councilman Andy Naquin explains the removal ordinance. If approved, it will trigger when there are three consecutive meetings missed. Plus, there will be room for discussion.
“Illness in the family or something came up. We are going to have to take into consideration that there are outside forces they have to react to. There are some that just on the commission who are bored and just don’t show,” Naquin added.
Thanks for signing up!
