The Council meets at least once per month. Special meetings may be called as needed, either by the chairperson or by a majority vote of the Council. Discussions during special meetings are limited to agenda items only. Twelve Council members, including either the chairperson or the chairperson-elect, constitute a quorum. No meeting may be held without a quorum.
Voting generally is conducted by voice vote or show of hands.
Upon the request of any Council member, a roll call vote is conducted and recorded, or the vote is taken by secret ballot. Financing Administration of the budget established for reasonable expenses incurred by the Staff Senate is the responsibility of the Council chairperson. By-Laws can be presented in writing by a Council member at any regular meeting. The amendment will be forwarded to the By-Laws Committee for study. Amendments require a two-thirds majority vote of the Council members to pass.
