Marshall <br /> Phone Numbers: 732-8181, 96$-4501, <br /> 227-0231 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider modification of Agenda as presently constituted. <br /> NEED: To modify the "Order of Business" as stated in number six of the Rules of <br /> Procedures. There is no legal requirement for an agenda in North Carolina. <br /> G.S. 153A-41 provides sufficient authority for any board of commissioners that <br /> wishes to use the agenda format. The agenda format may be comprised of the regular <br /> agenda and the consent agenda. The definitions are as follows: <br /> Consent Agenda - The consent agenda provides a time-saving device and is <br /> composed of routine matters only, which makes it possible for the Board to <br /> approve all items under one motion and eliminates the need for discussion <br /> and a separate vote on each item. However, a Board member can open the floor <br /> for discussion on any item listed on the consent agenda. Consent agenda items <br /> may include but not be limited to budget transfers, and purchase order <br /> requisitions. <br /> Regular Agenda - The regular agenda is composed of all other items of <br /> business which require board action. Items that appear on the regular agenda <br /> include resolutions, bid openings, ordinances, personnel related matters, etc. <br /> The present format for Board agenda was inititated by County Manager <br /> Ken Thompson on 26 October 1981 and is as follows: <br /> A. Board Comments <br /> B. Audience Comments <br /> 1 . Matters on the printed agenda. <br /> 2. Matters not on the printed agenda <br /> C. Minutes <br />
