BabbsJohnson Posted June 4, 2019 at 06:08 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 at 06:08 PM (edited) If it is merely discussed to dissolve a committee, but a motion is never made to dissolve it, does the committee still exist? I’m not sure if it matters, but the discussion was also hard as an unauthorized topic in executive session, which even if it was an item of business that was voted on, it is my understanding that since it was unauthorized ,it would have been nullified for being dealt with Improperly, meaning not in open session. Note: the discussion to end the committees did not have a motion, but the society moved on as if the business of dissolving it had been official. Edited June 4, 2019 at 08:42 PM by .oOllXllOo.

Chris Harrison Posted June 4, 2019 at 09:34 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 at 09:34 PM Was there a vote on dissolving the committee? RONR doesn't limit what business can be conducted in Executive Session. If your rules do that would be beyond this forum's scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted June 4, 2019 at 10:08 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 at 10:08 PM The debate of a subject presupposes that a motion has been made, or, at least, will be made immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the minutes, there was a discussion in Executive, and an announcement in Open, but no note of any motion or vote in either set of minutes.

Based on the facts presented, it seems the committee still exists.

Since it appears no action was taken in any event, I don’t think it matters. Whether or not it is correct that an item which is improperly discussed in executive session is “nullified” is a question regarding the applicable law on this subject, and is therefore beyond the scope of this forum.

I just know there was no motion, no vote, and the minutes were approved showing only a mention discussion by the board, and a single board member making an announcement.
