7D go„, 16 -cE 766 • as the preparation and presentation of the item at a scheduled regular meeting unless a unanimous vote is taken by all members present. However, since notices of the session are given as required by the Open Meetings Law, they constitute an official meeting of the Board and action can be taken. It is recommended however, that action not be taken unless necessary to alleviate an emergency which cannot wait until a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. The Rules of Procedure adopted by this Board and as amended from time to time will govern all discussions of items and materials and votes at a work session. A majority of the membership of the Board shall constitute a quorum. However, since it is intended that no action will be taken during the work session, a quorum is not required to discuss materials and agenda items. In the event it is necessary to vote on any item as an emergency, a quorum must be present for the motion and vote. For purposes of such votes in the work sessions, if a member is absent or has withdrawn from a meeting without being excused by a majority vote of the remaining members, he/she shall be counted as present for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and his/her vote shall be recorded as a vote in the majority, or in case of a tie among • those members present, as a vote in support of any motion made. There will be no minutes as such made of the work sessions, unless action is taken in an emergency. The Clerk to the Board will, however, maintain a record of the work session for public and future reference. The Clerk shall prepare a description of the directives to the staff resulting from the meeting and distribute this to the Board members on a periodic basis. The Board may schedule additional work sessions, committee meetings, or other information meetings of the Board or a majority of its members at such times and concerning such subjects as may be established by resolution or order of the Board. A schedule of any such meetings held regularly shall be filed in the same place and manner as the schedule of regular meetings and work sessions. Work sessions and other informal meetings not held regularly are subject to the same notice requirements as special Board meetings. At the last regular meeting of the Board, it was directed that Rule 11 be amended to allow for a consent agenda and allow departmental items of business be grouped together. Pursuant to that directive, I propose the following change to Rule 11: Rule 11. Order of Business. A regular meeting held on the first Monday of each month, the Board will proceed to business in the following order: • N CAROPAIN LEE COUAV , /1-~..~nY ar r registroti~on ttie~. ef SO /19/_L--r 2 '-wrrlvl In ~"a~Jt1~ 4040 W Tnem m Pa9mtw of Doe"
