(4) cannot discharge the member's duties for a substantial portion of the term for which the member is appointed because of illness or disability; or
(5) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled board meetings that the member is eligible to attend during any two calendar years, unless the absence is excused by a majority of the board members.
