=== Approval of Minutes, Reports (5 min) ===
* The following motion is formed as a "[http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/is_a_consent_agenda_right_for_your_board consent] [http://www.help4nonprofits.com/UseItToday/UseItToday-Consent_Agenda.htm agenda]" -- a method of lumping agenda items that need formal board approval but are routine in nature into one motion. Items such as meeting minutes, routine correspondence, changes in policy or other matters can be bundled together and approved all at once by adopting the consent agenda in one motion.
** As the name infers, consent by all members of a board must be given to approve the list. If one member wishes an item to be removed from the consent agenda, that item is removed from the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda where it would it would have appeared if presented on its own.
