Before 2006
Decisions were made by the Board in 2003, 2004, and 2005. However a formal list of resolutions was not kept. For meetings and decisions made after the first two community trustees were elected in mid-2004, see the
meeting minutes
from 2004.
Understanding resolutions
Approve
means
the board member voted and this vote was YES
Oppose
means
the board member voted and this vote was NO
Abstain
means
the board member voted and this vote was "no opinion".
An abstention counts as a vote.
Missing
means
the board member was not present at the board meeting, or did not come to vote on the wiki page
. Like abstentions, this counts as a vote.
Recuse
means
the board member was present, but did not vote because of a declared conflict-of-interest.
A recusal does
not
count as a vote.
A resolution
passes
with a majority present voting yes.
The Board passes Resolutions and Votes; the former are formal decisions that must be made public; the latter are routine decisions such as advisory board appointments, approval of minutes for publication, or changes to internal Board processes.
Votes are often not published as such, but the result of the Votes is usually made public — for instance, minutes are published once a Vote to approve them has concluded; and minutes always list any Votes taken during a meeting.
Passed Resolutions
are published
unless otherwise requested by the Chair; failed Resolutions are generally not published.
For several years, the Board adopted the use of a consent agenda. A consent agenda is a set of resolutions that the Board votes on at once.
