(1) does not have at the time of appointment the qualifications required by Section 1006.051(b) or is disqualified under Section 1006.052;
(2) does not maintain during service on the authority the qualifications required by Section 1006.051(b) or becomes disqualified under Section 1006.052;
(3) cannot, because of illness or disability, discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's term; or
(4) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled authority meetings that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year.
(b) The validity of an action of the authority is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a member of the authority exists.
(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the presiding officer of the authority of the potential ground. The presiding officer shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the presiding officer, the executive director shall notify the next highest officer of the authority, who shall notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
