"Conditional Motion" - Does such a thing exist?

Recommended Posts

As an example, an organization has decided to increase the budget for a particular department by 10%. Some of the board of directors have expressed general support of the idea, but others will only support it once they have received additional information regarding how the financing of the increase is to occur (e.g. What will be cut from other areas to fund the 10%?).  Is it possible to make a motion along the lines of, "I move that the board approve the 10% increase to the Operations Budget to be effective July 15, 2014, pending the board's subsequent approval of the funding process prior to July 14, 2014."  Can this be done, or should the item simply be tabled until the additional information is received?
