Guest KC Swallow Posted February 18, 2019 at 03:13 PM Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 at 03:13 PM A motion that was voted on and passed at our Town Meeting last year was insufficiently broad to cover the scope of work intended. The work has already gone out for bonding. Our bond counsel recommends that we amend the article from the previous (adjourned) Town Meeting to broaden the scope. As Moderator of the town I ruled that an article or motion from a previous adjourned meeting cannot be amended. I'd like to ask the forum about this issue.

Under the rules in RONR, an adopted main motion that is still applicable can be amended. See §35. RESCIND; AMEND SOMETHING PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED beginning on p. 305 in RONR (11th ed.).
