    We are starting to use a consent agenda for our quarterly meetings. Does anyone by chance have an example of how to capture the consent agenda items in the minutes?

    Hi,

    Here's one example:

    Agenda: https://governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/governance-bodies/academic-board/agenda-packages/may-28-2020

    Report: https://governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/governance-bodies/academic-board/reports/may-28-2020

    OPEN CONSENT AGENDA

    The Chair noted that Items 6, 12, 13 and 14 were for approval, Items 7, 8, and 9 for recommendation, and the remainder for information.

    On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried

    YOUR BOARD APPROVED

    THAT the consent agenda be adopted.

    Our minutes re items on the consent agenda usually follow the format below:

    3    Consent Agenda

    Upon a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried, the Board of Directors:

    3.1       Verified the minutes of the Board meeting of March 13, 2020;

    3.2       Verified the minutes of the Board meeting of March 25, 2020;

    3.3       Admitted, as Associate Members, (name the members and the effective date of membership); and       

    3.5       received minutes of the meeting of the Audit Committee on March 5 and draft minutes of the Governance Committee meeting of March 24.

    Hi,

    For our meeting minutes, we use the following format for Consent item approvals:

    The full list of Consent items are noted in the minutes (including any report that is for information only), then a resolution noting that the Board accepts the Consent agenda items, followed by all individual resolutions as they are written. For example:

    ON MOTION DULY moved, seconded and carried unanimously,

    IT WAS RESOLVED that: The Board of Directors accepts the Consent Agenda items as presented

    ON MOTION DULY moved, seconded and carried unanimously,

    IT WAS RESOLVED that: The Board of Directors approves the Minutes of the July 28, 2020 Meeting as presented.

    ON MOTION DULY moved, seconded and carried unanimously,

    IT WAS RESOLVED that: The Board of Directors approves the [POLICY NAME], as presented.

    Etc.
