This meeting management practice allows the board to approve or acknowledge receipt of all items listed under the consent agenda that are unanimously agreed to with one vote instead of filing multiple motions.\nRequirements\nA consent agenda process must be adopted as a “special rule” to suspend regular rules and would require Notice and 2/3 vote by the group to adopt this new policy.\nContent of Consent Agenda\nThe agenda for board meetings will distinguish between the following types of matters: decision, discussion, or information.\nDecision items require a motion, a seconder and a vote.\nItems requiring a decision that are not expected to need any discussion or debate may, at the board chairperson’s option, be placed on the agenda under the heading Consent Agenda.\nAll materials and items proposed in the consent agenda shall be clearly identified as such in the meeting packages. All board members must receive and review the consent agenda items prior to the meeting, with the expectation that no discussion will take place during the board meeting.\nConsent agenda items may include: approval of previous minutes; executive reports and committee reports provided for information only; correspondence requiring no action; staff appointments requiring board confirmation; or routine matters such as appointments to committees, project status report, staff and facility updates, contract renewals, membership and program updates, etc… that require no discussion.\nWhen items are placed under the heading Consent Agenda, the following must occur:\nA motion must be made to approve or reject the agenda.\nThe motion to approve the agenda must be worded “motion to approve the agenda and consent agenda.”\nApproval of Agenda\nThe consent agenda will be approved by the board at the beginning of each meeting.\nBoard members may request that matters be added, deleted or that the order of items be moved and the board chair shall make a decision on each request. Any decision may be subject to challenge and reversed by the board.\nAny item may be moved out of the consent agenda section at the request of any board member, before approval of the agenda.  A member may request to move an item to further discuss it, inquire about it, or vote against it.  No motion or vote of the board is required to a request to move an item out of the consent agenda.\nWhen a board member requests that an item be moved out of the consent agenda section, the board chair shall decide where to place that item on the agenda (example: immediately after the consent agenda or later on the agenda).\nWhen only one item on the consent agenda list does not qualify as a consent agenda item or is requested to be moved, that item shall be moved out of the consent agenda and the rest of the items shall remain on the consent agenda.\nApproval of the agenda by the board constitutes approval of each of the items listed under the consent agenda portion of the meeting. No separate vote to approve the consent agenda portion is required.\nMotion to Approve Consent Agenda\nWhen the requested changes have been made to the consent agenda:\nChairperson reads items listed under consent agenda.\nChairperson then states: “If there is no objection, these items will be adopted”.\nChairperson p","cbCaih7h3LJ0Bh8i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih7h3LJ0Bh8i","docx",31888,"English","# Purpose\n## Requirements and adoption\n# Content of Consent Agenda\n## Approval process and meeting handling\n## Minutes and amendments","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a consent agenda policy for board meetings?\",\"answer\":\"It improves efficiency by bundling routine, non-controversial items into a single agenda item, enabling one vote to acknowledge receipt of reports or approve regular matters.
