CONSENT AGENDA
Discussion
A consent agenda is a time saving tool that
groups together routine items and resolutions under one agenda item. Items
included in the consent agenda require no discussion before voting and all are
approved in one vote. However, at the request of a board member, an item may
be removed from the consent agenda and added to the regular agenda for
separate discussion. Items often included in a consent agenda:
-
minutes from a previous board meeting
-
factual reports
-
minor operational changes
-
routine document updates
The topics and documentation for items in the consent agenda must be distributed
to board members well in advance of the board meeting. Board members must
contact the chair before the meeting if they wish to have any items removed from
the consent agenda.
