Member asks minutes to record reason for departures from normal; minutes approved
Summary
A committee member cited a code provision saying minutes must state 'the nature of the cause justifying the departure from normal' and requested that language be included; the minutes were then approved after motion and second.
During consideration of minutes, a committee member raised a procedural concern about the draft minutes circulated before the meeting. The member read language from a code provision and said that the minutes "must" include a statement explaining departures from normal procedure: "the nature of the cause justifying the departure from normal requires statement in the minutes."
Following the member's statement the Chair called for a motion to approve the minutes; a motion was made and seconded and the Chair announced the motion carried. The transcript does not show whether staff amended the written minutes on the spot or whether the requested wording will be incorporated afterward.
