Guest Scott Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:16 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:16 PM If a member of a body wants to remove something from a consent agenda, does there have to be a motion and a second followed by a vote? If so, and the simple majority does not vote to remove the item for discussion or to allow you to vote no, it doesn't seem like it would still be called a consent agenda.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:38 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:38 PM Generally the item could be removed by an objection of a single member. Then the item would be considered separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:38 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:38 PM If what you call a "consent agenda" is the same as what RONR describes as a "consent calendar" - page 361 - then a single objection can remove an item from that calendar. Otherwise, I fear you are on your own as RONR doesn't define a "consent agenda". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zev Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 at 07:53 PM The rules of this organization very likely define what a "consent agenda" is, how items are added to it, how items are removed, and what happens to removed items. Whether motions and votes are required for any of these things can only be determined by those rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
