A member may abstain from voting only if excused by the Board for good cause.

A Board member who has a personal or private interest in any proposed or pending matter which presents a conflict of interest in accordance with Board policy shall disclose such interest and shall not vote unless his/her participation is necessary to obtain a quorum or otherwise enable the Board to act.  Under such circumstances, the member shall comply with the voluntary disclosure requirements set out in State law.

To pass, any motion must be approved by a majority of the members present except as state law or policies of this Board may require a majority of full membership or a two-thirds majority.
