Guest elizabeth Posted November 29, 2012 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 07:39 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted November 29, 2012 at 07:54 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 07:54 PM I have an unusual situation.I'm afraid you won't find the answers to your questions about contracts and your customized bylaws in RONR. You might want to consult your municipal attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Lages Posted November 29, 2012 at 08:12 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 08:12 PM 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.
