Member absent for roll call and discussion but present for vote

[Guest SheilaD]

Scenario: Two-day meeting in which evidence was presented, with the intent to vote on the termination of a person in an appointed position at the end of the second day. Meeting was recessed at end of first day and reconvened. At end of second day, rather than vote, motion was made and passed to recess again. Five days later, meeting reconvened for the vote. Member X was absent for the first two days, so was not present for roll call. Roll was not called on either day the meeting was reconvened, so the record does not show that Member X was ever present. Can Member X vote? Quorum was met on all days.

[Gary Novosielski]

Yes.

Yes.  Members can vote. 

[Atul Kapur]

More specifically, members present when the vote is taken are eligible to vote, whether they were present for any of the debate is immaterial.

[Guest SheilaD]

Thank you both so much.
