Guest Christina Posted February 3, 2020 at 08:54 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 at 08:54 PM A motion was passed in 2018 allocating funds for a project, but the funds were not used during that year. Two years later, the project is back on the table and ready to move forward. Do the funds need to new re-allocated? Meaning, should there be a new motion/discussion/vote for funding?

Bruce Lages Posted February 3, 2020 at 09:27 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 at 09:27 PM According to RONR, motions remain in effect until the action they specify is completed or until they are rescinded. If, as it seems, this project has not yet been completed, those funds should still be accessible for the project without a new motion or vote being necessary. If you have any rules that might address what happens to funds unspent after a particular time interval, that would certainly change the answer. Also, if these funds were allocated to some specific aspect of the project, and actions have been taken to modify the project between the original motion and the present, this could also affect whether those funds should still be considered as available.

George Mervosh Posted February 3, 2020 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 at 09:36 PM As a practical matter this question probably can't be answered (by your group) without the exact text of the motion that was adopted. Once it's found in the minutes, your group can follow the advice Mr. Lages has given you and your group can then determine what action, if any, is necessary.
