Board adopts three-minute dais limit and second-round rule for discussion
Summary
Trustees voted to limit initial dais remarks to three minutes per trustee and allow a second round of discussion only if the board votes to proceed; the motion passed 5-1.
During consideration of items pulled from the consent agenda, Trustee Sonya Jones moved and Trustee Adam Schoof seconded a procedural motion to limit discussion on the dais to three minutes per speaker in the initial round, permit a second round only by vote of the board, and allow trustees to yield their time to other board members. The motion carried 5-1 (Nay: Hanan).
The board recorded the motion text in the minutes: "the Board limit our discussions to three minutes on the dais and after everyone has spoken in a round, that if we decide to have continued discussion, we'd vote on the second round, and that we can also yield our comments to only other Board member." The minutes do not record further procedural debate or implementation details beyond the recorded vote.
