In a bid to enhance the flexibility of meeting attendance, the Los Gatos Town Council approved a new policy allowing excused absences for commissioners under specific circumstances, addressing past inequities.
The council acknowledges the need to revisit their attendance policies, with discussions focusing on creating a more inclusive definition of who qualifies for caregiving leave, moving beyond immediate family.
Vice Mayor Rob Moore emphasized the need for inclusivity by arguing against a narrow definition of family during discussions about excused absences, advocating for a broader interpretation that includes any significant person.
Despite initial disagreements, the council unanimously agreed to implement the policy to allow casual flexibility in attendance, aiming for a trial period to evaluate its efficacy.
