Annual Meeting of the Connecticut Conference United Church of Christ
October 22-23, 2010

Explanation of a “Consent Agenda”

Purpose: To make more efficient and effective the way information is presented and votes are taken during the meeting; to free the agenda for more substantive considerations.

Mechanics: All agenda items that are conducive to being understood and decided without discussion (because they are self-explanatory or repetitive from meeting to meeting) are voted as a cluster. Instead of multiple individual votes, a single vote is taken, and the individual suggested actions are recorded in the minutes at the point in the agenda where the item appears. Any voting member has the opportunity to remove any item from the consent agenda and place that item on the regular agenda. No reason for the removal from the consent agenda has to be given.
