Introduction of Consent Agendas- What is a Consent Agenda?
Strathroy-Caradoc Regular Council Meeting agendas are now featuring a “Consent Agenda”, as adopted by Council in its recent procedure by-law update.
Routine information items are grouped into the Consent Agenda, allowing Council to receive all of the items with a single vote. These items typically include correspondence, committee meeting minutes, or reports provided for information. Council Members have the ability to pull certain items from a Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote if another action is desired. The use of a Consent Agenda helps Council process routine items more quickly, allowing more time for discussion on other matters.
