In my experience, yes, we do vote... Or are asked for our opinion in how to deal with a matter. When a consensus is reached, action is taken.
However, it is an informal 'conversation' type process... Many 'staff' are inactive or don't participate (something that will be addressed in the near future), so this consensus can be reached with only a few individuals contributing. As Ron mentioned, the final say lies with the administrator.
Excuse my ignorance, I'm not sure which window cleaning board you refer to - but if you are involved in it with Ron, I know Ron will often listen to ideas and thoughts on a better way to do things.
I hope this answers your question as it related to PWI.
