Can the board vote on a personnel item not on the posted agenda?Can the commission vote on an item not on the posted agenda?
G
No. Under Brown Act §54954.2, action on non-agendized items is prohibited unless a 4/5 majority finds an emergency. Your Board Policy 2320 mirrors this.No. Under FL Sunshine Law §286.0105 and your charter §3.04, action on non-agendized items is barred absent a declared emergency by supermajority.
What counts as an emergency there?
G
A need arising after agenda posting that requires immediate action. Fiscal or operational urgency qualifies — not scheduling convenience.
Ask about a policy…

Parliamentary procedure guidance
Can I amend a motion that's already been seconded?
G
Yes — a motion to amend is in order after a second and before the vote. State "I move to amend by…" and a new second is required.
Can the maker of the original motion object?
G
Yes, but the assembly votes on the amendment regardless. The maker has no special veto once the motion is on the floor.
Ask about procedure…
