This past Wednesday night we had a commissioner make a motion to fire our county manager. The motion was seconded and a call to vote immediately happened. After the call to vote, a disgruntled commissioner (our Chairperson) and the county manager began asking for definitions and reasons. Before the commissioners could vote, the commissioner that seconded the motion collapsed. He came to a couple of minutes later, and was escorted out and taken to the hospital via ambulance. The chair person immediately adjourned the meeting. She did not call a recess, nor did they vote to table the motion to the next meeting. There was not even a vote or a motion to adjourn. They have now scheduled a special meeting for another issue, and we are trying to see if there is anything stating that the open motion must be priority? Or, suggestions/protocol on how to move forward?

Hello, I have a question regarding a motion that was made during our regularly scheduled business meeting. Our FD loosely follows Robert's Rules of Order during our meetings. We had a motion made to reject our fire chief's resignation at the end of our business meeting during the new business section of our agenda which had no list of items to discuss. There was a 2nd and a quick vote and adjournment. The next day without notice to the membership or another meeting the board stated that the motion couldn't be made during new business and cited Robert's Rules and that the chief's resignation stands with no further explanation. The new business portion of our meeting had no agenda. However, the meeting does have an agenda posted on a website that lists items to discuss and vote on. I thought that items brought up under new business could be discussed, but not voted on until the next regularly scheduled business meeting. Thank you for any input. -
Hi, I have a question regarding a motion to send back to committee a proposal. In our club, a standing committee reviews proposals to amend the club rules and bylaws. The committee reviews the proposal and reviews it for consistency with the existing rules and bylaws and works with the member(s) submitting the proposal. The proposal is mailed out in advance of the next scheduled meeting and presented to membership. After a discussion the proposal is voted on. Several times the proposal is neither approved or rejected, rather a motion is made from the floor to send the proposal back to the committee. It's been suggested that a motion to send back to committee is out of order. That the proposal should be either approved or rejected. What is the rule on this, and where would I find it in Robert's Rules of Order? Thank you!

Here's a family corporation with both voting and non voting shareholders present. Can a non voting shareholder make a motion to be voted on by the voting shareholders? There is nothing in the bylaws presently.
