SORB delays vote on updated rules of procedure after members request redline copy
Summary
Board members asked for a redline showing edits to the rules of procedure and code of conduct; a motion to table the updated rules until the next meeting passed after discussion and a roll-call vote.
The Bernalillo County SORB deferred action on a proposed update to its rules of procedure and code of conduct after some members requested a redline (markup) showing changes from the prior text.
Vice Chair Strongman said she sent a redline to a subset of members and the board attorney had reviewed the draft. Several board members asked to see the redline showing deletions and additions before voting. A motion to table consideration of the rules until the next meeting was moved and seconded. The board then conducted a roll-call vote on tabling: the motion to table passed (the transcript records 8 yes, 3 no). The chair subsequently declared that the rules would be deferred to a later point in the meeting and ultimately tabled to the next meeting so all members could review the redline.
Nut graf: Members said seeing a marked-up version would speed review and reduce confusion; the board will circulate the redline to all members and revisit the matter at the next meeting.
Ending: Staff and vice chair Strongman agreed to circulate the redline markup to all members; the rules will be on the agenda for the next meeting for final action.
