The Board of Trustees may establish and use a “consent agenda” or “omnibus vote” to streamline the voting and consideration of items that would otherwise be handled on an individual basis on a regular meeting agenda. The agenda shall be prepared in a manner which lists all items under a heading of “Consent Agenda” and each item shall be sufficiently detailed to comply with the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The Consent Agenda itself shall be approved by a unanimous vote. Any trustee may have any one or more items removed from the Consent Agenda by simple request. Any such removed item shall be handled in customary fashion on an individual basis as through it were never on such Consent Agenda. Once approved by unanimous vote, the Consent Agenda need only be approved by a simple majority unless any item on such Consent Agenda requires a supermajority vote for approval. In such case, the Mayor shall vote in addition to the Trustees.
