Bruce Lages Posted July 11, 2021 at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 at 05:45 PM Quote But, of course, the 'board' can't make a motion, if that's what you're referring to as a 'first'. A member of the board would have to actually make the motion at the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted July 11, 2021 at 10:33 PM Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 at 10:33 PM Mr. Lages, the reporting member might not, indeed, make the motion when the report is made. In that case, the presiding officer can call for the necessary motion to be made, or he can assume that the motion has been made and proceed accordingly.
