BDDF: Conduct of Board Meetings

Code: BDDF

Adopted: 3/09/11

The rules of parliamentary procedure contained in Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, “Procedure in Small Boards” as modified by the Board will govern the Board in its deliberations. Discussion by Board members will be unlimited as long as it applies to the motion before the Board or the matter under consideration. The Board may vote to limit discussion and the chair will confine discussion to the matter before the Board. The chair may limit the time of any citizen appearing before the Board so that all who wish to be heard may have the opportunity.

Individual votes on motions and/or resolutions will be by “yes” or “no,” and the result of each member’s vote will be recorded by name. A Board member who abstains from voting due to “Conflict of Interest” outlined in policy code: BBFA will be so recorded.

The result of each board member’s vote on appointments to committees, board vacancies, board officers and other such votes will be reported and recorded by name, as required by Public Meeting Laws.
