That doesn't seem to be the case, though.  From the description
provided by Ant, this wasn't a resolution passed by vote during a
meeting, but rather it was an open-ended consent agreement.  There was
no "there" to be present or absent from.

Consent agreements usually have to be unanimous, but apparently
Florida law allows for "majority consent agreements", a term which I
just made up and has zero Google hits.
