All the items contained on the omnibus vote list have been previously discussed by the President and Board of Trustees on at least the omnibus vote list, a single vote may be taken to approve them. A Trustee may remove any item from the list and have it discussed and voted on separately, prior to the omnibus vote. Is there any such request?
