3. RESUMPTION OF THE BOARD'S PREVIOUS MEETING

   Denise McKenzie
   Democracy advisor	2 December 2009

   Following an unusual situation occurring at its 25 November 2009 meeting, the Board resolved that the meeting be adjourned and be reconvened at a time and place to be agreed.

   Council's standing orders require that when a meeting is adjourned, the time and place for the resumption of the adjourned meeting should be determined at the time of the adjournment. Due to the unusual circumstances around the adjournment, the Board must now resolve the date and time for the reconvening of the meeting, if unanimous agreement cannot be reached.

   Recommending that the Board reconvene its previous meeting after the closure of the extraordinary meeting.
