(a) If a Board member vacancy occurs due to resignation, termination, or any other reason, the Board Chair shall provide notice to the CEOs of the workforce area and to the Commission within 20 calendar days of such event. Such notice shall include:
  (1) the name of the Board member;
  (2) the category represented; and
  (3) the effective date of resignation, termination or other event causing the vacancy.
(b) The original resignation letter or documentation of other official action must be maintained at the local Board level.
(c) The CEOs shall fill a vacancy in a required category, in the same manner as the original appointment, within 90 calendar days from the effective date of the resignation, termination, or other event causing a vacancy. During the 90-day period, the Board will be able to act as a body and conduct business. Any action taken by the Board, with a vacancy in a required category, beyond such 90-day period shall be void.
(d) If the CEOs fail to fill a vacancy in a required category within 90 calendar days of the effective date of the vacancy, and remain in noncompliance with this section beyond that time, the Commission may impose sanctions under Chapter 800, including the withholding of administrative funds from the Board until compliance is achieved. The Commission may recommend that the Governor decertify the Board.
