Lack of amended bylaw for municipal contract extension

I have an unusual situation. I have a contract extension (not mine) that was performed mid contract without an amendment to the current bylaw. There was also no motion. Just the signed contract extension. To my knowledge I cannot place this new one under the old bylaw number as it requires it own bylaw or at the very least an amendment. Does this situation render the contract null and void?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

RONR, 11th ed., p. 251, ll.9-10 (and including the referenced footnote) says that any adopted motion that conflicts with the bylaws is considered a continuing breach and the action thus taken is null and void. However, since you are talking about a municipality, even if your group has adopted RONR, your local laws or ordinances will take precedence. Heed Edgar's advice and talk to your local attorney.
