How to fill out consent agenda voice vote

Point by point steps to fill out consent agenda voice vote:

1. Review the agenda items: Before the meeting, go through the agenda and identify any items that can be grouped together under the consent agenda. These are usually routine or non-controversial items that can be approved in one vote.
2. Create a consent agenda: Compile the identified items into a separate section titled "Consent Agenda." This will help distinguish them from other agenda items.
3. Distribute the agenda: Share the agenda with all meeting participants in advance. Make sure to clearly indicate which items are part of the consent agenda.
4. Explain the purpose of the consent agenda: At the beginning of the meeting, briefly explain to the participants the purpose of the consent agenda. Emphasize that it is intended to streamline the meeting process by grouping non-controversial items together.
5. Call for any objections: Ask if anyone wants to remove any item from the consent agenda for further discussion. If there are objections, the item should be removed and discussed separately.
6. Conduct the voice vote: Once all objections have been addressed, proceed to the vote. Ask for a motion to approve the consent agenda, followed by a second. Then, call for a voice vote by saying something like, "All those in favor, say 'aye.' All those opposed, say 'nay.'"
7. Record the vote: Note the outcome of the voice vote in the meeting minutes. It is essential to accurately record the results for future reference.
8. Move forward with the meeting: Once the consent agenda is approved, you can proceed with the remaining agenda items knowing that the routine matters have been efficiently addressed.
