I’ll be as concise as possible. A motion to rescind was offered in May on a proposal. It was only told to the commissioners that the only way to pass the motion to rescind was two-thirds vote. They were never informed of the “or a majority of the entire body” provision. It failed to obtain a two-thirds if voting members in a 9-7-2. Here are my questions. 1. Can any action be taken since they were not advised of the majority of the body provision by the County Attorney? 2. Can another motion to rescind be made at this upcoming meeting? 3. Would it be more advantageous to offer a renewal motion of the motion to rescind previously defeated? Entire body consists of 21 members if all are present. Thanks in advance.

failed motion Bringing a failed motion to the floor at next meeting
Guest posted a topic in General Discussion
If a board votes on a motion made by a member (raised as a resolution to issue a contract to an employee that was non-renewed-Donaldson hearing) can the motion be made again at the next meeting or is that out of order? Specifically, a vote was made in regards to above which resulted in 4 Yes, 3 No, and 2 Abstentions. This vote required a majority of the full board or 5 Yay's. Later it was realized that a member which abstained was unaware of the full majority rule and wished to vote Yay. Only a No voting member couldld put the vote on the floor again at the same meeting and refused. Can this motion be made again at the next meeting? Thank you
