Amending the Agenda <br /> at a Meeting <br /> •Only with 2/3 vote of all members <br /> •Cannot add item if: <br /> •of reasonably major importance, and <br /> •will affect a significant number of <br /> people <br /> A board should carefully prepare its notice and agenda, because they cannot be posted <br /> with less than six days' advance notice and can only be amended at a meeting with <br /> heavy restrictions. First, an agenda can be amended at the meeting only with 2/3 vote <br /> of all members to which the board is entitled, which includes membership slots that <br /> are not currently filled or members who are not at the meeting. If you assume that a <br /> board is entitled to 10 members, but only 9 slots are filled and 6 members are present, <br /> this means that 6 members constitute a quorum and 2/3 of the 9 filled slots; but the <br /> board still doesn't have 2/3 of the 10 members to which it is entitled and it would need <br /> at least 7 members to vote to amend the agenda. <br /> Second, even if the board had enough votes to amend an agenda, an item cannot be <br /> added if it is of reasonably major importance and will affect a significant number of <br /> people. Essentially, only minor things can be added to an agenda. <br /> OIP has extensive materials on its website that provide additional details about notice <br /> and agenda requirements, including a notice checklist and samples of "bad" and "good" <br /> agendas. <br /> 26 <br />
