It shall be the policy of the board that in all decisions that require a vote of the full board, the decisions will not be distributed until all members have voted. Any decision must be by a majority of the full board.

An exception to this policy will be made when a board member is absent from the job and not available for work, i.e., extended illness or on annual leave. In this circumstance, the decision will be distributed when available members have completed their vote. The purpose of this rule is to facilitate timely decision making.
