Board waives address requirement for speaker in active litigation and approves consent agenda
Summary
The board voted to waive the requirement that a public commenter provide an address because the speaker said they are in active litigation; the board then approved the consent agenda by roll call with the chair announcing the motion passes.
At the Aug. 17 meeting the board considered a request from a public commenter to waive the requirement that speakers give their address for security reasons. The commenter, who said they were in active litigation, asked for the waiver; the board moved to grant it, a member seconded, and a roll call produced seven "aye" votes with the chair announcing the motion passes.
Later in the meeting the board moved, seconded and approved the consent agenda. A board member stated they would abstain from one consent item due to their role with the Alma Schools Foundation; the clerk conducted a roll call and the chair announced approval of the consent agenda.
The waiver and consent-agenda votes were procedural items and did not change policy. The waiver allowed the speaker to proceed with public comment without stating an address, and the consent agenda action covered routine items listed on the meeting agenda.
