All items appearing on the Agenda under "Adoption of the General Consent  
Report" means that all items appearing on the agenda under this topic are  
approved in one motion per consent report unless a Board or committee  
member requests that an item be removed and voted on separately or  
otherwise acted upon. Items so removed from a named Consent Report shall  
be considered separately in the agenda immediately after that named  
Consent Report (unless otherwise moved with other items by a Board  
member) is adopted or otherwise acted upon and there shall be no additional  
or separate public comment on those items. Generally, these items are  
routine in nature, and are acted upon in one motion to conserve time and

be removed, without debate for separate consideration and vote or other  
disposition. All items remaining on the named Consent Report(s), thereafter,

Adoption of General Consent Report - General Obligation Bonds -  
Measures B, J and Y  
All items appearing on the Agenda under "Adoption of the General Consent  
Report - General Obligation Bonds" means that all items appearing on the  
agenda under this topic are approved in one motion per consent report unless  
a Board or committee member requests that an item be removed and voted  
on separately or otherwise acted upon. Items so removed from a named  
Consent Report shall be considered separately in the agenda immediately  
after that named Consent Report (unless otherwise moved with other items by  
a Board member) is adopted or otherwise acted upon and there shall be no  
additional or separate public comment on those items. Generally, these  
items are routine in nature, and are acted upon in one motion to conserve  
time and permit focus on other than routine items on the agenda. An item  
on a General Consent Report which a member has requested be removed,  
shall be removed, without debate for separate consideration and vote or other  
disposition. All items remaining on the named Consent Report(s), thereafter,  
shall be adopted in a single motion per consent report.
