George Mervosh Posted January 25, 2013 at 08:13 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 at 08:13 PM Even if the meeting was days later?The motion to be rescind can made with regards to adopted main motions that are still applicable, even if it's months/years since it was adopted. Perhaps you're thinking of a motion to reconsider the vote, which has very strict time limits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g40 Posted January 25, 2013 at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 at 08:50 PM Of course, you can only (successfully) rescind (or amend) something that has not yet been carried out.So, if the motion was to paint the Gazebo purple, that can only be rescinded before the painting has been done.
