2500 Board Meetings and Open Meetings Act Compliance

2503 Voting Requirements

All Board decisions and actions must be made at a public meeting of the Board held in compliance with the Open Meetings Act.

The Board will make decisions and take action through motions and resolutions. A motion or resolution will be voted on by the Board once it has been made by a Board member and seconded/supported by another Board member.

Board members must vote on all motions and resolutions unless abstention is required due to a conflict of interest or otherwise required by law. A Board member’s abstention, unless required by law, constitutes a breach of the member’s duty as a public official. 

Roll call votes will be conducted when required by law or when requested by the President or Secretary. The Board may adopt additional policies designating other matters requiring roll call vote approval.

A Board decision or action must be recorded in the minutes for the Board meeting at which the decision or action was taken.
