8. Decision-Making 84905… Decision making procedures are specified that ensure that all of the following conditions are satisfied: All members shall participate in any decision made by the consortium. A proposed decision is considered at an open, properly noticed public meeting of the consortium at which members of the public may comment. The consortium has provided the public with adequate notice of a proposed decision and considered any comments submitted by members of the public, and any comments submitted by members of the public have been distributed publicly. A decision is final. 8

9. Governance Questions A member can that be more than one person designated by the board? In the case of the COE, they indicate that their designated official would not be approved/appointed by their Board but rather by the Superintendent. A proxy can come and vote if a member is unable to make the meeting? Is there clarity as to whether or not Brown Act processes are clearly required or is it just the spirit of the Brown Act that's required? Do all partners/members/consortia involvement need to be officially approved before submitting Annual Plan on Oct 31?
