dtolan1981@gmail.com Posted April 17, 2018 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 at 04:53 PM Our county board relies on a county offices committee to forward recommendations for appointments to the full board. Our county board rules state that the committees are governed by the same rules as the board. An appointment that failed at the committee level has been placed on the board agenda, and I feel that this is a violation of the rules. Once a question is voted, it cannot be brought forward again. Any recommendations or advice is appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted April 17, 2018 at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 at 05:05 PM This sounds like it has more to do with your rules than with RONR. So far as RONR is concerned, once an inferior body no longer has possession of a question, the superior assembly can take it up, as a general matter.

Even if the question had failed at the full board, the motion could be made anew at a later meeting. As Dr. Stackpole notes, there is certainly nothing in RONR which prevents the board from taking up a motion defeated at a meeting of a subordinate committee.
