Debate Sample Clauses

Debate. After question and answer, the body will move into closed debate. During this time, only members of SACGB can speak. This is the time when board members can suggest possible routes of action, or speak to how they will vote on the issue. When you would like to vote on a specific course of action, raise your placard, wait for the Chair to call on you, and say “Motion to ______”. For example, you could say “Motion to require Group X to submit a letter of apology to the SACGB.” Again, this motion will require a second. After this, we’ll move into debate on this motion. At this point, you can raise your placard to speak on the motion (only the motion – not the hearing as a whole) and how you would vote on the motion. In addition, you can choose to amend the motion. To do this, you would raise your placard and say “Motion to amend the motion to ….”. For example, you could say “Motion to amend the motion to require Group X to submit a letter of apology to the SACGB and provide a plan of how the incident will not happen again.” Amendments are usually best used if you agree with most of the motion, but do not agree with part of it. If you disagree with most of the motion, it’s better to just vote against it and propose a new motion. After the amendment is seconded, we will be in debate on the amendment. After this time, we will vote on the amendment. After the vote on the amendment, we will be back in debate on the original motion. To vote on a motion, raise your placard and say “Motion to end debate” or “Motion to call to question”. At this point, we will vote on the motion. If it doesn’t pass, a new motion can be proposed, and we will repeat this process.

Under this circumstance, you understand that you (or your beneficiaries or legal representatives) are waiving the right to submit claims or be reimbursed by Medicare for any services I provide that would otherwise be covered by Medicare if there was no private contract and a proper claim was submitted.

When I am unavailable, my telephone is answered by voice mail that I monitor. I will make every effort to return your call on the same day you make it, with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you are unable to reach me and feel that you can’t wait for me to return your call, contact your family physician or the nearest emergency room and ask for the psychologist or psychiatrist on call. If I will be unavailable for an extended time, I will provide you with the name of a colleague to contact, if necessary. It is very important to be aware that computers and email and cell phone communication can be relatively easily accessed by unauthorized people and hence can compromise the privacy and confidentiality of such communication. If you communicate confidential or private information via email or text, I will assume that you have made an informed decision, will view it as your agreement to take the risk that such communication may be intercepted, and will honor your desire to communicate on such matters via email or text. Please do not use email or text for emergencies. Due to computer or network problems, emails and texts may not be deliverable, and I may not check my emails or faxes frequently.
