Council Actions Clause Samples
The "Council Actions" clause defines the procedures and authority by which a governing council makes decisions or takes official actions within an organization or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how meetings are called, the quorum required, voting thresholds, and the types of matters that require council approval, such as budget allocations or policy changes. Its core practical function is to ensure that council decisions are made transparently and according to agreed-upon rules, thereby promoting orderly governance and preventing disputes over the legitimacy of council actions.
