ROLE: To make recommendations to the CPCA Board of Directors (on the set of issues the Committee is charged with).
- Committees typically address issues that need further discussion or require further action.
- When action is needed, an issue is designated as an “Action” item on a Committee agenda.
- Committees discuss the issue and ultimately make recommendations to the Board of Directors.
- These recommendations are typically outlined by staff in the related issue memo; however, Committee members are responsible for submitting the final recommendation, made in the form of a motion.
- Committee-approved recommendations then go to the Board of Directors, which has final approval of said motions.
- Committee-approved recommendations are placed on the Board “Consent Calendar” – a method that allows Board approval of all Committee motions at once; with the option to “pull” any item for further discussion before a vote is called, if desired by any Board member.
