Human Relations Commission rescinds then re-approves consent calendar; final tally includes one abstention
Summary
The commission approved the consent calendar, rescinded that approval after a member asked to change a vote, then re-approved the consent calendar in a subsequent vote; the final approval carried with one abstention and two absences.
The Sunnyvale Human Relations Commission first approved the consent calendar, later voted to rescind that approval after a commissioner reported they were absent and wanted to change their vote, and then re-approved the consent calendar in a final vote.
Commissioner Rosenfeld moved to approve the consent calendar and Commissioner Valencia Landa seconded. The chair called the vote and the motion initially carried (recorded as 4–0–2 with two members absent). After the roll call, Rosenfeld said she needed to change her vote to "abstain" because she had not been present for an item. The commission then voted to rescind the prior approval; Rosenfeld moved to rescind and Landa seconded. The rescind motion carried 4–0–2.
Following the rescind, Rosenfeld again moved to approve the consent calendar and Commissioner Terry seconded. In the final vote the consent calendar was approved 3–1–2, with Rosenfeld abstaining and two members absent.
Motions and votes recorded in the meeting transcript are summarized below; staff noted minutes for items included on the consent calendar were approved as part of the consent calendar.
