Adjourning a meeting

Mr. Huynh, thank you for your prompt response.

 

I must admit that I am a bit confused as it is my understanding that a vote cannot be taken on a motion (business) if a quorum is not present.

 

Are there circumstances where a vote on a motion (business)  can be taken when a quorum is not present?

Yes.

 

"Even in the absence of a quorum, the assembly may fix the time to which to adjourn (22), adjourn (21), recess (20), or take measures to obtain a quorum. Subsidiary and incidental motions, questions of privilege, motions to Raise a Question of Privilege or Call for the Orders of the Day, and other motions may also be considered if they are related to these motions or to the conduct of the meeting while it remains without a quorum." (RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 347-348)
