The village clerk, subject to approval of the village president, shall place on the consent agenda items which in his or her judgment are routine, including approval of minutes of previous meetings. Items that are recommended for approval by a unanimous vote of the committee of the whole may also be placed on the consent agenda. No separate discussion or debate on matters on the consent agenda shall be permitted. A single motion, seconded and adopted by majority vote of the board shall be sufficient to approve, adopt, enact or otherwise favorably resolve any matter listed on the consent agenda without separate discussion thereof. When the consent agenda is reached, any trustee may request removal of any item from the consent agenda, and such item shall be removed by majority vote of the board. Any item or part thereof removed from the consent agenda by action of the board shall be considered separately at the appropriate time in the board's regular order of business.
