Revote on a contract

[Guest M haggert]

After a vote on a contract where it was determined there was a quorum and the motion fails, can another vote be called for on that same contract a week after the meeting adjourned?

If the"week after" is when the next meeting/session of the group takes place, yes. A defeated motion can be renewed any number of times, at subsequent meetings (or sessions, to be more precise).

To add to JD's response, I'd also toss in to be mindful of any other requirements of the motion, such as previous notice. Are you really going to have another meeting a week after the last one?

. . . can another vote be called for on that same contract a week after the meeting adjourned?

A defeated motion can be renewed any number of times, at subsequent meetings (or sessions, to be more precise).

Although contracts can often involve legal issues which lie beyond the scope of parliamentary procedure.

I cocnur with Edgar's comment - contracts may require legal assistance which is beyond the scope of this forum. However, the motion to approve a contract can be made at a meetings, and repeated at every meeting thereafter if it fails.
