Voting Procedures

MWPA Board Voting Procedures

For all votes conducted by the Board, a proposed motion subject to vote passes when both of the following conditions are satisfied:

• A majority of the Directors present vote in favor of a motion
• The Directors present and voting in favor of a motion represent, in the aggregate, according to the then latest general census, over 50% of the population represented by the Member agencies present in the quorum.

All voting will be calculated through this MWPA Master Voting Spreadsheet. When roll is called for a vote, a “Y” is placed in the attendance column, and the spreadsheet will automatically insert the respective Town/City/District population, according to the latest general census. The spreadsheet will also automatically tally the number of attendees to determine whether the conditions listed above are met.
