(6) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled port commission meetings that the port commissioner is eligible to attend during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote of the port commission.

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

(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the chair of the port commission of the potential ground. The chair shall then notify the entity that appointed the port commissioner that a potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the chair, the executive director shall notify the next highest ranking officer of the port commission, who shall then notify the entities who appointed the chair that a potential ground for removal exists.
