Guest Hollie Posted June 12, 2018 at 01:05 AM Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 at 01:05 AM Can either side of a failed motion 4-4 with one abstention make a motion to reconsider at the same meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted June 12, 2018 at 01:15 AM Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 at 01:15 AM No. Only a member who voted with the prevailing side (in this case, against the motion) could make a motion to reconsider at the same meeting.

No, only those who voted on the prevailing side. So any of the four people who voted No can move to Reconsider. Those who voted Yes cannot, nor can the member who did not vote, but any of them could second the motion to Reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 13, 2018 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 at 07:53 PM Agreeing with Mr. Novosielski, I would add that the reason only the four people who voted NO can move to reconsider is that a motion fails on a tie vote, so those four voted on the prevailing side.
