Board Policies and Procedures - adopted April 19, 2005

http://www.sequoiahealthcaredistrict.com/policies-procedures.pdf

Note: This controlling document was approved at a special meeting of the Board held on April 19, 2005 at the Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood Shores. The creation of the document was facilitated by District Counsel, Penny Greenberg, who coordinated individual inputs from Directors.

The requirement for a Board majority (3) is contained in POLICY NO. 10.22

"A majority vote is a vote of more than 50%. Thus, for example, a 3-2 vote produces a majority, but a 2-2 vote does not. If only a quorum (three Directors) is in attendance, an item can be approved only if the vote to do so is 3 - 0 because the Brown Act specifies that "action taken" by the Board means a decision made by a majority of the Board."
