A motion that contains contradictory information


Guest Peter Deg

Recommended Posts

A motion was made and adopted that is unclear. The director was making $50,000 and the motion was to "increase the salary by .75% to $50,875". The problem is that a .75%  increase would be $50,375.  This happened at the annual members meeting. The members are the body that must approve all changes in compensation for the executive director.  Nobody caught it at the time.  Is there anything that can be done besides calling another meeting of the members?

The only way to amend the motion would be to call another meeting of the members, if that is your question.

Unless and until the motion is amended by the membership for clarity, I suppose the board will have to interpret the motion as best as it can. So the board will need to make its best guess as to which of the numbers in the motion was the error.

And, interestingly enough, an increase to $50,875 is an increase of 1.75%.
