This Board further determines that regular meeting attendance is a condition of the appointment of each board member.

A. 
Planning Board.
B. 
Zoning Board of Appeals.
The following is hereby established as the minimum meeting attendance requirements:

No board member shall be absent from more than three successive meetings or more than four meetings in any one calendar year.

The Mayor shall have the power, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, to remove, after the opportunity for a hearing, any board member for noncompliance with the minimum requirements established herein.
