Guest george ferguson Posted April 6, 2016 at 01:55 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 at 01:55 AM During a called meeting, I know you can only discuss items that have been listed for the called meeting. My question is, during a called meeting, can a motion be made pertaining to something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted April 6, 2016 at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 at 02:11 AM You can make procedural motions like limiting debate or matters of privilege like raising the thermostat, but the only substantive business to be transacted is that which was described in the call of the meeting.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted April 6, 2016 at 02:13 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 at 02:13 AM "The only business that can be transacted at a special meeting is that which has been specified in the call of the meeting. This rule, however, does not preclude the consideration of privileged motions, or of any subsidiary, incidental, or other motions that may arise in connection with the transaction of such business or the conduct of the meeting". - RONR 11th ed., p. 93, ll. 3-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
