(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.

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