1 Items on the Consent Calendar include routine actions or matters already considered by a committee of the Board and will be enacted by one motion and one vote. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Board Member or the public so requests.  It is in the Board’s discretion to remove items already considered by a committee of the Board from the Consent Calendar. Any item removed from the Consent Calendar will be considered in its normal sequence on the agenda.  If you wish to have an item removed from the Consent Calendar, please submit a speaker card or make your request at the time the Board Chairperson asks if any member of the public wishes to remove an item from consent.  After an item, if any, removed from the Consent Calendar has been discussed, the Board will vote to approve all items remaining on the Consent Calendar.

Note: Items designated for information are appropriate for Board/Committee action if the Board/Committee wishes to take action.  Any agenda item from a properly noticed Committee meeting held immediately prior to this Board meeting may be considered by the Board.  Agenda items may be taken out of order with the approval of the Chairperson. Public comment will be limited to three (3) minutes per speaker and ten (10) minutes per subject item.
