Motions during a called meeting

[Guest george ferguson]

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?

[Gary Novosielski]

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]

"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
