Anyone willing to have a conversation with me over the phone? I purchased the RONR book, but as I am new to this language, it is quite confusing.

The wording is: 'Councilmember XXX has provided a notice to city staff that she will make a motion to rescind the City Council's previous denial of XYZ Apartments rezoning, preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications of Oct 3 2022. The motion to rescind will be considered at the council's next meeting on XXX.

So basically, they would have to bring it back up again as if it is a new application, correct? Can you advise where I would find this in the book? The City Attorney seems to be clueless.

Thank you George. To confirm, under your first comment: "A motion to rescind can only be applied to one or more adopted main motions, not one that was defeated" does that mean because none of the three motions were adopted that none can be rescinded? Even with a motion to rescind?

Our city council voted 6 to 1 against a conditional use permit for an apartment complex. The buyer walked away and the seller put a For Sale sign back up. The one council member that voted to approve has now made a motion to rescind the previous denial. My questions are: 1. Can a motion to rescind be made at any time? 2. What does 'motion that has already been carried out' mean? The for sale sign went back up, does that mean that because the buyer walked away from the project the motion was carrier out? 3. If the council member provided notice, does that mean only a majority vote is needed to pass? 4. The only reason she made the motion to rescind is due to the owner of the property suing the city. Of which per the Met Council, they have no basis for. Appreciate your comments and any advise.
