1 Decision-Making: Shared Governance Committee Procedures 1. Agendas Agendas for committee and council meetings must be circulated 72 hours in advance to members and posted on the appropriate website. Action items appearing on any agenda must be given with specificity. Agendas should include: date, time, and location of meeting names of members the committee or council mission statement the LAVC Mission statement approval of previous meeting minutes reports (from subcommittees, workgroups and constituency groups) future meeting dates. See Appendix K for an agenda template. If a motion is approved, the Chair will submit a completed motion form (see Appendix L) to the appropriate Council chair and, if appropriate, a fiscal analysis request form to the FAW (see Appendix M) within 2 business days. Chairs of EPC, HPC, and PEPC will also forward the motion to the Senate if appropriate (see Senate Interaction). Council chairs will circulate the motion forms and fiscal analysis forms for any motions to be considered with the agenda for that meeting and will use the motion form to document actions taken. The motion form will then be forwarded to the College President who will also document actions taken. 2. Minutes Minutes must be kept for all committee and council meetings. Any handouts that were passed out during the meeting must be kept with the minutes. Minutes should include: a listing of members present, members absent, and guests present summaries of reports given
2 decision or action taken on all action items, who is responsible, and when Minutes must be approved at the next meeting of the committee or council. Minutes should be posted on the web as soon as they are approved. See Appendix N for a minutes template. In general, minutes are a good tool for facilitating communication between the Councils, their subcommittees and constituency groups. Minutes should be distributed to members with enough time to allow them to read and request changes or edits. This provides the members an opportunity to provide input into the minutes. Within five business days, the chair will submit a summary of actions taken to the President's Office for posting on the LAVC 411 webpage. See Appendix O for the template. B. Conducting Meetings 1. Quorum a. Shared Governance Councils A quorum for IEC consists of at least 12 of the 17 members. A quorum for COAC consists of at least 11 of the 16 members. b.

In case of a tie when more than one candidate is running, the candidate with the fewest number of votes shall be eliminated and voting shall continue until one candidate receives a majority. f. In the event there is a tie between two candidates, the selection shall be determined by lot during the meeting. 4. Selection a. If no committee member submits his/her intention to run for committee chair in writing at the April meeting, nominations shall come from the floor at the May meeting, and the election shall proceed as described above. b. Results of the election shall be reported to the appropriate shared governance Council at the next meeting or at the Joint Council Retreat. c. If no one chooses to run for committee chair, the Chair of the appropriate shared governance Council in consultation with the current committee chair shall appoint a member of the committee to serve. 5. Election Disputes Any disputes regarding the election process shall be forwarded to the appropriate shared governance Council to be addressed at a June meeting or Joint Council Retreat.
7 6. Committee Chair Removal a. If it is determined that a committee chair has two (2) unexcused absences to Council meetings or is not fulfilling his or her duties as chair, the Council can vote to direct the committee to hold an election to replace him/her, using the process outlined above. The reasons for such an action must be stated in writing. The subcommittee chair in question shall have an opportunity at a Council meeting to respond before voting takes place. b. A committee chair may be recalled by a 2/3 vote of the committee. This recall election may be instituted by a petition signed by 40% of the committee and filed with the Chair of the appropriate shared governance Council. The reasons for recall must be stated in writing. The chair shall have an opportunity at a committee meeting to respond to the reasons for recall before voting takes place. The vote shall be conducted by the Chair of the appropriate shared governance Council at a special meeting within three (3) weeks of the filing of the recall petition. F. Absences Because of the importance of all college constituencies being represented effectively in the shared governance process, members of a Council or its subcommittees are expected to attend all regular meetings. Voting members who have two (2) unexcused absences in an academic semester or three (3) within an academic year without sending a substitute may be replaced. Absences will be considered unexcused unless a member notifies the committee Chair prior to the meeting and provides a compelling reason (such as a sudden emergency situation) for failing to arrange for an alternate representative to attend the meeting in question. In addition, a voting member who has excessive excused absences may also be replaced. If the member in question is on the committee by position, his or her supervisor should be notified by the committee chair of excessive absences. F. Changes to Committee Representation In the event that a Tier 2 Committee determines that its representation should be modified, the Chair of the Committee should bring a recommendation forward to the Council in the same way that other recommendations are brought before the Council.
