University of Michigan regents approve Center for Innovation residential tower; Ilitch recuses
Summary
The Board of Regents approved the University of Michigan Center for Innovation Residential Tower after a motion; Regent Ilitch said she would recuse herself from that vote. The board also moved to and carried a separate roll-call on conflict-of-interest items that require six votes for approval.
The Board of Regents of the University of Michigan voted to approve the University of Michigan Center for Innovation Residential Tower during a special meeting. A motion to approve the finance-and-property item was made and seconded; the board proceeded to vote in favor and the motion carried.
The chair noted during the vote that "Regent Ilitch is going to recuse herself on this vote," and the record shows Ilitch did not cast a deciding vote on that item. The residential tower item had been introduced under the board’s finance and property agenda by staff; Vice President Chavis was identified in connection with the item.
After the tower vote, the board moved to a separate roll-call on conflict-of-interest items. An unnamed meeting official stated that "each of which requires 6 votes for approval," and the regents conducted a roll call in which several members indicated approval (aye/raised hands). The record states that the motion on the conflict-of-interest items carried.
The actions taken at the meeting did not include names of motion makers or seconds in the public transcript, and exact vote tallies beyond individual affirmative responses were not specified in the available record. The meeting adjourned after the board completed its business.
