consent agenda

Read a random definition: reply brief

A quick definition of consent agenda:

A consent agenda is a list of items that a group or organization plans to vote on without debate or opposition. These items are usually routine or non-controversial and are expected to be approved unanimously. Members have the opportunity to object, but if no one objects, the items are approved automatically. This process helps the group to efficiently handle a large number of routine matters and focus on more important issues that require debate and discussion.

A more thorough explanation:

A consent agenda is a list of business items that a deliberative assembly plans to vote on without debate or opposition. It is also known as a unanimous-consent agenda or calendar. The purpose of a consent agenda is to quickly and efficiently dispose of routine or noncontroversial matters that do not require extensive discussion.

  • A city council may use a consent agenda to approve meeting minutes, pay bills, and award contracts for routine services.
  • A school board may use a consent agenda to approve field trip requests, personnel changes, and budget transfers.
  • A nonprofit organization may use a consent agenda to approve committee reports, event plans, and membership applications.

These examples illustrate how a consent agenda can help a deliberative assembly save time and focus on more important matters. By grouping routine items together and voting on them as a whole, the assembly can avoid lengthy discussions and move on to more pressing issues.
