(6) Substantial change in circumstances of an appointee or inaccuracies in his or her application that, while not automatically disqualifying, may have reasonably resulted in rejection of the appointment if existent or known at the time of application.

(7) With specific regard to both the Historic and Architectural Review Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission, members shall successfully complete the certified training offered by the Town no later than the end of their first term of appointment. Failure to successfully complete the certified training, in accordance with this schedule or demonstrated willful disregard or negligence in adhering to the guidance of such training, may constitute good cause for removal.

(b) Any finding made pursuant to this Section and relied on to support the removal of a member of a board or commission must be in writing and supported by clear and convincing evidence. The provisions of Paragraphs (a)(1) through (6) above are not intended to be the exclusive basis for a determination of good cause for removal of Town board and commission members.

(c) Five (5) absences from any regular or special meetings within a calendar year, whether excused or not, are grounds for removal. Notice of removal will be provided, in writing, within seven (7) days of the fifth absence. The vacancy will be advertised pursuant to 2-5-30.
