Board member Kathleen moves to pull finance and personnel reports from consent agenda

At a meeting called to order Aug. 12, the Teton County District board considered its consent agenda and a board member moved to separately consider two items.

Kathleen, a board member, asked that "the accounts payable report for July be pulled for separate consideration," and said, "Likewise, with the, personnel report, I'd like that considered separately." The chair then sought a motion to approve the remainder of the consent agenda without the finance and personnel reports.

The chair said members could approve, deny, amend, modify or postpone action on agenda items and introduced the consent agenda items, which included board meeting minutes, the finance committee report, acceptance of monthly financials and the personnel report. After the chair asked for a motion to approve the consent agenda aside from the finance monthly financials and the personnel report being pulled, Kathleen moved "to approve the consent agenda minus the finance report and personnel report." The transcript does not record a second or a vote on that motion.

Consent agendas are typically approved en bloc to expedite routine business; removing items means those items will be discussed separately later in the meeting or at a subsequent meeting. The transcript provides no further detail about when the accounts payable (July) or the personnel report would be taken up or about any subsequent vote.

No formal vote on the motion to remove those two items from the consent agenda is recorded in the provided transcript.
