The consent agenda is relatively new to the BAC, however it is not new to many organizations and municipal leaders.  Items placed on the consent agenda are determined by the subcommittees and submitted by the subcommittee chairs to the Executive Sub-committee. These items are considered to not require any discussion by the BAC and simply require a vote. Discussion may occur if a member requests it. The item may be discussed for a limited amount of time, as determined by the BAC Chair. It will remain on the consent agenda and be voted upon as part of the consent agenda.
