How the board handled consent and "same house, same call" Most of the listed administrative items, contract amendments and routine appointments were taken on the consent calendar or adopted with the procedural "same house, same call" approach. When supervisors asked that items be excused before voting (for conflicts or recusals), those requests were recorded and votes proceeded with the relevant supervisor excused.
