Firstly, I would like to review my role in this setup, Am I the meeting organiser? Does this person report to me? Is this person critical for this meeting?
If the answer to any of the questions above is yes, then I would take a leading role in resolving this matter of the person being constantly delayed into the meeting.
I would try to understand if this is the only meeting that he is constantly delayed in or others as well, trying to understand if this is a generic behaviour trait of being late or something keeps him being on time for this one.
If it is a generic trait, I would request him to take note of the situation and politely ask him to be on time, as his presence is critical for this meeting and by being on time he is being respectful of his co workers time as well.
If it is just this specific meeting, then I would try to understand the reason behind that, could be that the person has another meeting just before this which could lead to him shuttling between meetings/ or personal commitments like childcare which could lead to this. In those cases, I would try to find an alternate time slot for the meeting
