Guest KiKi Posted January 23, 2012 at 10:12 AM Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 at 10:12 AM If a motion to table a resolution is made, and no one seconds the motion, does the motion get recorded in the minutes?It was an obvious attempt to kill a motion, but no one seconded, so does an entry get made that the motion was made and does it get recorded "unsupported" or "no second"? Thanks, KiKi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary c Tesser Posted January 23, 2012 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 at 11:27 AM No. (I assume that the assembly resumed dealing with the resolution, yes?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 23, 2012 at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 at 01:06 PM That would be correct, the rest of the board approved the resolution, the only one who had an issue with it (the person who motioned to table it), voted "no".

No one has really questioned her methods before. Most of the time the issues are not all that important and not worth the hassle, but, in this situation it is, so I wanted to be clear before I brought up any corrections to her proposed minute,She has included motions that have failed in her minutes many times in the past....

George Mervosh Posted January 23, 2012 at 03:10 PM Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 at 03:10 PM She has included motions that have failed in her minutes many times in the past....Main motions that fail DO get recorded. A subsidiary motion (like Lay on the Table) is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
