Any voting member may request to remove an item from the Consent Agenda. This is often called "pulling" an item. No vote is required to grant this request. It is a right of the member.
The Chair acknowledges the request immediately. The member who pulled the item may simultaneously suggest where it should be placed on the agenda.
The Chair proceeds to vote on the rest of the Consent Agenda as a single block.
If the item wasn't assigned to a specific agenda section during Step 2, the pulled item must be addressed immediately after the Consent Agenda vote is finalized. If the Chair neglects to do this, any member should speak up so the item doesn't disappear. It is then handled as a standard, standalone motion: moved, seconded, debated, and voted on individually.
Items should be removed if a member wants to vote against it, amend it, or discuss it extensively. Simple questions for information can often be asked before the meeting without removing the item.
