Anyway to postponed an amended -voted motion?

[Guest David]

This is reffering to School District.

A motion was presented and voted. A group of members called the chair of an advisory and they are not happy with the amendment....is there is anyway the chair can postponed presenting the motion to the school board and rediscussed the motion at the next meeting?

thank you everyone for your responses

Nothing in RONR would give the chair unilateral authority to delay carrying out instructions given to him by the assembly (i.e. instructions that were inherent or implied in adopting the motion).

The chair of an advisory what, by the way? And, is the advisory (whatever) the same body that adopted the motion?

[JohnR]

The chair of your advisory (council?) can drag heels and wait for the next meeting, at which time one of the disgruntled members may move to rescind or amend the adopted motion. However, the chair risks incurring the wrath of the members who supported the motion: they could commence disciplinary action for nonfeasance.

[Rev Ed]

If special meetings are allowed, there could be time for the group to hold a special meeting to votie on deferring the motion. This depends on the notice period for the special meeting as well as how long there is until the next School Board meeting.

Otherwise the Chairman could drag his feet as John has suggested.

Was that really a suggestion? Sounded more like an observation to me...
