Planning body procedures help ensure that a planning council and other planning groups function smoothly and in compliance with Ryan White legislative requirements. Procedures exist for membership (e.g., nominations procedures to secure new members), decision making (e.g., open meeting processes, grievance procedures related to funding decisions, conflict of interest), and other tasks.
