Emergency meetings may be called as necessary at the discretion of the committee chairperson.

Voting:

Voting on issues will be done by a quorum of at least five (5) voting members with a simple majority passing/failing the issue. In the event there is not five (5) members present, the issue will be tabled until a quorum is met.

Request for Information or Complaint:

Referral of these requests and complaints are to be given directly to the SHAC chairperson. The Chairperson will keep a record of all complaints and requests to give to the SHAC during the next scheduled meeting.
