0167 - VOTING
All motions shall require for adoption a majority vote of those present and voting, except as provided by statute, these bylaws, or parliamentary authority. (See listing of exceptions below.) Upon the demand of any member of the Board, the vote shall be recorded by roll call.
Pursuant to R.C. 121.22, a motion to go into executive session requires a majority vote of a quorum and must be adopted by roll call vote.
In situations in which a specific number of affirmative votes are required and abstentions have been recorded, the motion shall fail if the specified number of affirmative votes have not been cast. In situations in which a tie vote occurs and abstentions have been recorded, the motion shall fail for lack of a majority.
All actions requiring a vote can be conducted by voice vote or show of hands, unless a roll-call vote is requested or required. A Board member must be physically present at the meeting to vote. Each vote and abstention shall be recorded. Proxy voting is prohibited.
