Guest de9106261@gmail.com Posted November 18, 2021 at 02:48 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 at 02:48 PM Hi, Recently borough council voted 4-4 on an issue. Can this issue be revisited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted November 18, 2021 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 at 02:51 PM Yes, but it could also be revisited (by making a new motion) if it had failed 0-8. A tie vote is just like any other failing vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted November 18, 2021 at 03:15 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 at 03:15 PM I agree with Mr. Katz, but note that a motion that was defeated may only be renewed (made anew) at a future session of the council. Typically each meeting is a new session, but in a governmental body it may not be and it would be wise to check with the council's attorney to be sure each meeting is, in fact, a new session of council.
