Voting Procedures

​

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

• A majority of the Operations Committee present vote in favor of a motion;

• The Operations Committee 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.

The columns will then insert that Town/City/District population, according to the latest general census, and count the number of attendees to determine the number needed for 50% plus one of those present and > 50% of the population by those present.
