  20. Voting A member of the governing board of a joint powers agency may cast a valid vote on a matter before the agency that is inconsistent with the position taken by the legislative body which appointed the member. The governing body may, however, ensure compliance with its wishes. How it does that is for the governing body to determine. For example: the governing body may remove the member from the board of directors if the member votes contrary to the governing body’s position. It does not, however, change the vote. The board of director member can vote contrary to its Board’s wishes, but may suffer removal by his/her appointing authority. Attorney General Opinion No. 00-708, dated December 8 2000

  21. Voting Scenario 1 Staff has recommended using a vendor who currently provides services for your county. You chose to: • Vote based on your knowledge of their expertise. • Participate in discussion but abstain from voting. • Inform the board president of your position and need to abstain from voting and remove yourself prior to discussion.

  22. Voting Scenario 1 Staff has recommended using a vendor who currently provides services for your county. You should (A) vote based on your knowledge of their expertise. Your experience with the vendor being recommended will provide the rest of the board with valuable knowledge with which to cast their vote.

  23. Voting Scenario 2 Staff has recommended using a vendor on whose board you serve. You chose to: • Vote based on your knowledge of their expertise. • Participate in discussion but abstain from voting. • Inform the board president of your position and need to abstain from voting and remove yourself prior to discussion.

  24. Voting Scenario 2 Staff has recommended using a vendor on whose board you serve. You should (C) inform the board president of your position and need to abstain from voting and remove yourself prior to discussion. Your position on the vendor’s board is considered a conflict of interest and would require you to excuse yourself from discussion and abstain from voting.

  25. Voting Scenario 3 You were not in attendance at the previous meeting. When the board is asked to approve the minutes, you choose to: • Vote in approval of the minutes. • Abstain from voting.

  26. Voting Scenario 3 You were not in attendance at the previous meeting. When the board is asked to approved the minutes, you should (A) vote in approval of the minutes. Even though you were not in attendance at the meeting you may vote to approve the minutes.

  28. Voting Scenario 4 You are new to the board and there is a motion on the floor that puts in you in an ethical dilemma because you do not feel you have enough background or expertise to make a decision.
