BACKGROUND

In January 2015, City Council appointed Mr. Michael Pauwels, owner of The Globe, to the Main Street Commission to serve a two-year (2) term, ending in January 2017.

DISCUSSION

Per Municipal Code 2.21.014, a commissioner automatically vacates his/her post after three consecutive unexcused absences. Mr. Pauwel never submitted an official resignation letter via email or written correspondence to the City Clerk's Office.
