The items on a consent agenda are expected to be non-controversial and unlikely to engender questions. The items on the consent agenda, whether for approval or information, are dealt with by a single motion to accept/receive for information all items contained in the consent agenda. Before taking the vote, however, the Chair will ask whether any member wishes to have any item removed from consent in order to ask a question or make a comment about it. In such a case, the item is automatically removed from the consent agenda and will be dealt with at the end of the meeting or within the report of the Committee under which it sits. The remaining items are then unanimously approved/received for information en bloc without discussion. While approval of an omnibus motion saves time at meetings, members will want to review the consent agenda materials carefully in order that they properly discharge their responsibilities. Members may ask to have an item removed from the consent agenda by so informing the Secretary or Chair at any time up until the motion is put. Recommended: That the Council approve or note for information the items contained in the Unanimous Agenda, listed below. Item Title Paper Action 3.2 Minutes of 14 May 2020 KCC-20-07-15-03.2 Approve 3.3 Actions Log KCC-20-07-15-03.3 Note Report of the Finance Committee KCC-20-07-15-08 All to Note 08 (iii) New debt strategy (iv) Review of accounting issues & assumptions (v) Treasury Management Policy Statement for 2020/2021 (vi) Severance Policy (vii) Revisions to the Going Concern Auditing Standard Report of the Estates Strategy Committee KCC-20-07-15-09
