Items on the consent agenda are not up for discussion; they are approved as one item. If you would like to discuss an item on the consent agenda, you must request to place it under new business during approval of the agenda.
Policy 1.403 allows "routine or non-controversial items to be placed on the consent agenda, which shall become a part of the regular agenda. If any member objects to including an item on the consent agenda, that item shall be moved to the regular agenda as an action item requiring discussion. The remaining consent items may be adopted in a single vote without discussion."
