COUNCIL AGREEMENTS Clause Samples
The "Council Agreements" clause defines the procedures and requirements for how a council or governing body within an organization makes formal decisions or adopts resolutions. Typically, this clause outlines the necessary quorum, voting thresholds, and the process for recording and implementing decisions made by the council. For example, it may specify that a majority or supermajority vote is required for certain actions, or that all agreements must be documented in meeting minutes. The core function of this clause is to ensure that council decisions are made transparently, consistently, and in accordance with agreed-upon rules, thereby reducing disputes and providing a clear framework for governance.
