I have been to several meetings with one member siting that we do not need a motion to adjourn if there is an agenda. Is she is correct? 

Thanks!!

Whether you have an agenda or simply follow the standard order of business, the chair can declare the meeting adjourned when there is no further business to come before it.  He should first ask if there is, to be certain.

The chair can also declare a meeting adjourned if a certain time for adjournment has fixed by some rule or motion (or formally adopted agenda) 

And a member can seek recognition and move to adjourn (with a second and majority support) at nearly any point in the meeting.
