Absent but still paid?

People are complaining, Tribal Council gave themselves a raise and quit attending meetings. I looked at their compensation statute and it defines: “Compensation” means the amount of annual pay for attendance at regularly scheduled Tribal Council meetings, I think attendance is the key term and they forgot to make accommodations for absences in the salary calculations. As required in the Constitution “Compensation” wouldn’t go up or down but it implies pay for service. Absences even sabbaticals or leaves for ceremonies could be easily accommodated in a manner that meets the Constitution and is fair to all concerned.
