Chair invokes Government Code to add management MOU to agenda
Summary
Board chair and staff invoked Government Code 54956.2(b) to add a management memorandum of understanding to the meeting agenda as an urgent item after it was omitted from the posted agenda; the board approved adding the item by voice vote.
The meeting chair said the board would take immediate action to add a previously omitted management memorandum of understanding (MOU) to the agenda under Government Code 54956.2(b). A staff member explained the omission during the meeting and said the item needed to be added "as a matter of urgency," noting the text of the statute on the dais.
"As a matter of urgency, because we didn't realize it, but we did not include the management MOU on the agenda yesterday," the presenter said. The chair then called for a motion to add the item; members moved, seconded and approved the addition by a voice vote. The board did not take substantive action on the MOU itself at that moment; the vote authorized consideration of the item during the current meeting.
