(1) Violates a prohibition established by this chapter;

(2) Cannot because of illness or disability discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the term for which the member is appointed; or

(3) Is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled commission meetings that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by majority vote of the commission.

(c) The validity of an action of the commission is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a commission member exists.

The presiding officer shall then notify the elected official who appointed such member that a potential ground for removal exists.
