Committee kills motion full board passes

[Guest Ed vc]

If a employee ex officio or guest ask about a proposal that died in committee in full board and chair didn't ask or acknowledged the above, is it right that a board member bring that motion in front off the board for consideration ?

It is in order for a board member to make a motion on the subject.

Thank you I thought only a board member can start discussion on the motion that failed in committee.

I'm glad Josh appears to understand the facts and the question.... I sure don't.

 

But I do agree that a board member can generally make a motion in a board that he is a member of.....for whatever that's worth.

"Some bodies, especially public ones, may invite nonmembers to express their views, but this is done under the control of the presiding officer subject to any relevant rules adopted by the body and subject to appeal by a member." (RONR 11th ed., p. 96, l. 32 to p. 97, l. 2)

Well, that's also true, but that wasn't the question you originally asked.

 

Only a member of the board (including an ex-officio member) has the right to speak during a board meeting. Guests do not, nor do employees (unless those employees happen to also be members of the board). The board could permit a non-member to speak if it wishes. Nonetheless, even if a non-member improperly spoke regarding this issue without permission, it would still be in order for a board member to make a motion on the subject.

I killed the motion in committee on day one, but on day two when committee reported I was gone and no one has given me a answer on how the proposal was brought back up for discussion, so I asked for the tape on the meeting to find out who started disscusion and I thought only board members are able to discuss motion that died in committee. Any how the motion was carried in full board so I'm looking for a point of order to bring up at next meeting I have not recieved the tape yet, I cannot rescind the vote I possibly could ask a member that vote for motion but am looking for other probable cause .

Only board members are permitted to discuss any motions during board meetings (unless the board grants a non-board member permission to speak). Whether the motion died in committee is irrelevant. It is, however, too late to raise a Point of Order regarding this issue at this time.

 

The motion to Rescind can be moved by any member, regardless of how (or if) the member voted on the original motion. You appear to be thinking of the motion to Reconsider, the time limits for which have likely already passed.

I killed the motion in committee on day one, 

You killed the motion in committee?  Single handedly?   How?  You ruled it out of order and nobody appealed? Are you a member of that committee?

 

 

 I cannot rescind the vote I possibly could ask a member that vote for motion but am looking for other probable cause .

You personally....whether as a member or as president or whatever.... cannot single handedly rescind anything, but, as Josh Martin pointed out, any member can move to rescind or amend something previously adopted.  Keep in mind that it has certain vote requirements.
