No.
There is no text in the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order to imply that a formal roll call is to be re-invoked after every recess.
If you have a quorum, you are good to go, even if you do not invoke a roll call.
O.K. I have a further question for clarification. It is my understanding when a public body goes into closed session, there is a roll call vote to this motion. When the public body returns to open session, another roll call is done to establish the meeting quorum and what members of the public body are still present. Why is that not the same procedure for the meeting being called back to order after a recess of any length by RRO.
The special meeting after 4 hours was adjourned. The COW agenda was folded into the next county board agenda with no procedural announcement.

Thank you for the thoughtful input.

I can not find the answers to the following questions in the RRO materials. So I need help finding the answers or if you can provide such.1. If a meeting is recessed for a 10 minute break, by RRO is it necessary to have a roll call to establish what members are still in attendance to declare a quorum when the meeting resumes after the break? A roll call is done when the meeting is called to order originally.
Thank you for any and all help. Pattsi Petrie
