Guest Debra Donkersloot Posted February 15, 2013 at 03:03 AM Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 at 03:03 AM can a motion that is made seconded and passed at a meeting, then brought up again at the next meeting to rescind but fails to rescind,then brought up again at a third meeting to rescind and then passes, be honored. Question I guess is how many times can a motion that was made be brought again in the same callendar year with the same board.Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted February 15, 2013 at 03:24 AM Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 at 03:24 AM A motion can be renewed each and every session (for most organizations a session is completed in a single meeting). See RONR pp. 336-342. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Foulkes Posted February 15, 2013 at 04:04 AM Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 at 04:04 AM However, if the action of the adopted motion has been carried out, it cannot be Rescinded, or only partially so to the extent that is has not been fully carried out. There is no relevance to the calendar year, nor the makeup of the Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dee Posted February 15, 2013 at 09:23 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 at 09:23 PM So a motion that has been passed or rescinded can be challenged at every single meeting. This seems repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted February 15, 2013 at 09:33 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 at 09:33 PM So a motion that has been passed or rescinded can be challenged at every single meeting. This seems repetitive.A motion that has been adopted (i.e. passed) can often be rescinded (or otherwise amended) at a future meeting. Things change and the assembly is free to adapt its decisions to address those changes.A motion that has been rescinded cant be "challenged" (or otherwise amended) because, once rescinded, there's nothing left to challenge.A motion that was defeated can be "renewed" (made again as if never having been made).What may be confusing here is that some of the replies are referring to renewing a (defeated) motion to rescind.

( although it may have to wait for another meeting)I think my head hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Danny Loyd Posted February 16, 2013 at 08:01 PM Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 at 08:01 PM Is the Secretary or any other officer, except the president or presiding official of a meeting, precluded from putting a motion before the membership? I know the presiding officer can not make a motion, or vote up or down unless there is a tie, but our president in today's meeting stated that no elected official can make a motion to floor. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the presiding officer can not make a motion, or vote up or down unless there is a tie, but our president in today's meeting stated that no elected official can make a motion to floor. Is this correct?The chair is mistaken. All officers except the chair may participate fully in the assembly's deliberations, including to make motions.Your statements about the presiding officer are also a bit off. The chair should not vote unless his vote would affect the result, which is not quite the same as "unless there is a tie." See FAQ #1 for more information. The chair also could make a motion, although he should rarely do so, and if he does he should relinquish the chair until the main question is disposed of.Lastly, for future reference, it is best to start a new thread to ask a new question.

Guest George Posted February 16, 2013 at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 at 09:08 PM Are there any limits as to what types of motions can be brought up meeting after meeting, again and again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:04 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:04 PM Mr. President: its best if you ask a new question in a new topic. I (and the reat of us) invite you to do so. We'll be watching for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted October 18, 2013 at 01:56 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 at 01:56 PM I'll just leave that ambiguity in place. (Just like lots and lots of bylaws.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted October 20, 2013 at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 at 07:33 PM I presume you mean defeated in the previous meeting, and in that case the answer is "Yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary c Tesser Posted October 22, 2013 at 10:59 AM Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 at 10:59 AM So maybe it's not a bad idea to stack these all up in one thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
