Is Your Alder Doing Their Job? (Part Two)

Part Two. More messed up information. Part one of three is here.

There is a binder in the council office where the committee chairs are supposed to report absences of the committee members every six months. They are also supposed to report it to the Mayor’s office, and then if there are more then three “unexcused” absences the Mayor is supposed to think about removing someone from the committee. Something I don’t recall him doing, ever.

Using the information provided to the Mayor’s and Council Office by the Committee Chairs, here’s how the alders rate – but again, several healthy doses of salt required, as the information is incomplete, not consistently recorded, not sure what the difference between an excused absence and absence is and it seems a little random as to which committees reported, some were not regular standing City of Madison committees that reported, but just city appointments. I wrote down the names of all the committees posted here. Did not add all the committees here. It could be some of the committees didn’t exist during these time periods, but I need more research on that too. The other thing hard to figure out is when they didn’t meet, was it because of quorum and then which people caused them to miss quorum. Some sheets were clear, others were not. The source documents are here and here. Regardless, here the info that was there.

From the information below, I added up and calculated the following (admittedly imperfect) information:
33% Thuy Pham-Remmele 1/3
38% Brian Solomon 5/13
47% Jed Sanborn 17/36
66% Michael Schumacher 33/50
68% Bridget Maniaci 13/19
72% Joe Claussius 36/50
75% Lauren Cnare 25/33
81% Julia Kerr 13/16
81% Larry Palm 13/16
87% Mike Verveer 36/41
87% Satya Rhodes-Conway 34/39
87% Judy Compton 21/24
88% Mark Clear 38/43
88% Paul Skidmore 23/26
92% Tim Bruer 38/41
95% Chris Schmidt 23/24
96% Shiva Bidar Sielaff 24/25
96% Marsha Rummel 24/25
100% Steve King 7/7
100% Bryon Eagon 26/26

The information I used to get this was as follows. However, the next step, is to go find all this missing information below and add the committee info from here. Which could take a while. I’ve started and have a good start, needs a couple more hours work.
