readdressing a already voted on item

[Guest Pam]

At a meeting all five members of the Board were present. Two of the five members vote "no" on a subject. Who may bring it back to the Board for additional discussion and possible revote?

If you mean at the same meeting (motion to reconsider), that motion can only be brought by someone on the prevailing side. Since you don't say what the other three members did during the vote, we don't know which side prevailed.

If the motion was adopted, at a subsequent meeting it may be possible to rescind, or amend something previously adopted (assuming the motion has not been fully carried out). Any member may make such a motion, no matter what side he/she voted on, or, indeed, no matter whether that member was even present at the original meeting.

If the motion failed, it may be renewed (made again) by any member at a later meeting.

The three votes were to approve. Obviously, then the two votes were against.

So, does the vote to reconsider have to be brought up by one of the three that voted in favor of the item?

It would have but . . .

Once the meeting is over, it's too late for a motion to reconsider. Your options now are to rescind or amend the adopted motion . . . and any member can make a motion to do so.

It is not obvious, since you didn't say what the other three members did. For all we knew, they might have abstained, which would have defeated the motion unanimously.
