Note: Consent functionality is only available for Legislative Management users. If you do not have Legistar and are interested in this functionality, please contact your Granicus Account Manager for more information.

Consent items on the agenda are indicated by a grey “C” icon in the Agenda panel.

The Consent button becomes enabled when Consent Agenda items are present and at least one of these agenda items has been timestamped. In order to take a consent vote, you must have taken Roll Call at the beginning of the meeting, or any time prior to the consent vote.

Clicking the Consent button opens the Consent Vote modal in LiveManager:

Note for VoteCast users: Clicking Consent also brings up the Consent Vote interface:

When you deselect a checkbox associated with an item to “pull” it from the Consent Agenda, the item receives a strikethrough treatment in VoteCast.

After you record the Consent Vote, a combined motion/vote item is recorded into the minutes. A green “C” icon indicates agenda items that were passed with this motion and vote.
