Lowe Village of Mount Prospect 50 South Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 Phone: 847/392-6000 Fax: 847/392-6022 w'Ww. moun fprospect.org October 2004 Youth Commission Member Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 Dear Youth Commission Member, As every month's Agenda notes, it is the expectation of the Mount Prospect Youth Commission that all members will attend all meetings. While we know this is not always possible, if you cannot attend, you are expected to call the Chairwoman or her designee at least 24 hours in advance and tell her of your expected absence. Some members comply and others do not. Further, some members have missed two, three, four and even five meetings, sometimes without calling in. This is not acceptable behavior for officially appointed Village commission members. The Commission's business is being negatively impacted. We rarely have a quorum, which is necessary to conduct official business: approval of minutes, voting, elections, and paying bills. Therefore, the Commission is instituting a "three strikes and you're out" policy. It is simply this: miss three meetings (not necessarily in a row) without alerting the Chairwoman, Secretary or another Commission officer, and you will be voted off the island.. . losing your Commission status. This policy is effective immediately. If you have any questions, please contact Chairwoman Sarah Corcoran or Secretary Cindy Rumore. Thank you for helping us make the Mount Prospect Youth Commission the effective body it should be. Sincerely, Mount Prospect Youth Commission MAYOR Gerald L. Farley TRUSTEES Timothy J.
