Consent Agenda Proposed Wildlife Commission Consent Agenda June 11, 2009
In order to increase the Wildlife Commission’s efficiency and allow more time for consideration of wildlife policy and contested issues, the listed items are noticed for action by the Commission as part of the June 2009 “Consent Agenda.” Note: The process for placing matters on the Consent Agenda is as follows: The Director identifies matters where the recommended action follows established policy or precedent, there has been agreement reached or the matter is expected to be uncontested and non-controversial. Staff will provide written memos to the Wildlife Commission members explaining the matters on the Consent Agenda. Copies of the memos will be available to the public. Matters on the Consent Agenda are noticed for hearing at the same time and in the same manner as other agenda items. If a member of the Commission requests further consideration of an item on the consent agenda, that item will be withdrawn from the Consent Agenda and discussed and acted upon as determined by the Commission. The Consent Agenda may be voted on without the necessity of reading individual items. Any Commission member may request clarification from the Director for any matter on the Consent Agenda.
