Consent Agenda

This contains items where we have previously polled and there has been unanimous agreement on the decision All items on the Consent Agenda can be grouped together so there only needs to be one resolution. If there is any doubt about prior agreement the item goes on the Main Agenda

These consist of appropriate notes on each agenda item, eg

  • Reports or links to documents/Trello lists of reports by role holders or officers
  • Explanatory notes and any information that would save time in the board meeting
  • Resolution wording, if long
  • The date of polls for items on the Consent Agenda items
