Summary

The committee found redundancy among rules on trustee duties and authority, agreed to retitle Policy 161 "Board Member Authority," and decided to add a review date to ensure the policy stays current.

During its Jan. 7 meeting the Policy Committee identified overlapping language across documents that address board member duties and authority and agreed to rename Policy 161 to "Board Member Authority." Committee members also agreed to add a review date so the policy will be revisited periodically to remain current with practice.

The minutes summarize the change as aligning policy text with existing board practice. The committee recommended the revised Policy 161 be forwarded to the full board for a first reading; no formal vote or final adoption occurred at the committee meeting.
