4 <br />ff there is no objection, the chair may call items in any order most convenient for the <br />dispatch of business. The meeting will end at 10:30 unless there is a unanimous vote of <br />the Board to continue beyond that time. <br />Rule 20, Procedural Motions (2.): <br />To Adjourn. The motion may be made- at the conclusion of action on a <br />pend-ing matter; it may not interrupt deliberation of a pending matter. <br />Comment: This motion differs from the Robert's Rules of Order <br />motion in several respects. In Robert's Rules of Order, it is not <br />debatable or amendable and can be made at any time, even <br />interrupting substantive deliberations. In view of the small <br />number of members and the available procedures to -limit <br />debate, this rule allows debate and amendment of the motion to <br />adjourn. but allows the motion to adjourn only when action on a <br />pending matter is over. The motion to defer consideration or to <br />postpone to a certain time or day may be used if the board <br />wants to adjourn before completing action on a matter. <br />Decision Points: <br />Does the Board want to proceed with a mandatory adjournment time, with <br />the Chair call-ing the 10:30pm time and asking the Board to vote on <br />continuance of the meeting.? <br />Or would the Board prefer to continue as it has with the meeting <br />continuing until all agenda items are discussed? <br />6. Appointment Process: <br />The current boards/commissions appointment process listed in the Board's -Rules <br />of Procedures will need to be revised based on the outcome of the discussion on <br />the Generic Advisory Board Policy. <br />7.
