Guest CCE Posted July 24, 2015 at 03:06 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 at 03:06 AM 3 member board voted unanimously on a motion. At a future meeting one member places a motion to rescind the original motion it does not get a second. The item is place on 2 additional agendas and there is no action no motion no motion to table. 3 months go by and the item is on the agenda again the same member moves to rescind original motion again this time it gets a second. No new information was provided. Is this possible. Seems that a board can take action and then months later change that action for no appearent reason. Any insite would be appreciated.

Richard Brown Posted July 24, 2015 at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 at 01:24 PM Agreeing with Mr. Novosielski, any member may move to rescind or amend something previously adopted at every meeting, just as at every meeting a member may renew (make again) a motion that was previously defeated.

All we can tell you here is what RONR says. Municipal boards are very likely subject to rules and laws that supersede ("overrule") RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, odd statutes unquestionably exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. But it wasn't clear what, in post #7, Guest CCE was referring to. Naturally I assumed it was to the immediately preceding post (i.e. mine).

Josh Martin Posted July 26, 2015 at 04:57 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 at 04:57 PM Does this also apply to motions and votes that pertain to municipal financed Some additional information might help, but the fact that the motion "pertains to municipal finances," in and of itself, would not change any of the information you have received, at least so far as RONR is concerned.
