Motion to approve direction to staff to apply three absence rule prospectively to Reimagining Public Safety Community Task Force

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved applying the city's standard attendance rule to the Reimagining Public Safety Community Task Force, meaning members can now be removed after three unexcused absences. This task force had been operating without the attendance requirement that applies to other city boards and committees. The change only affects future absences, not past ones. This is a routine administrative decision to standardize rules across city bodies, with all five present members voting in favor.
