Tomm Posted November 7, 2023 at 11:01 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 at 11:01 PM (edited) The several meetings of a Special Committee (Ad Hoc) are considered to be a single session per 50:23? Does that mean that a motion that failed at an earlier meeting, cannot be presented again at a future meeting?

Rob Elsman Posted November 8, 2023 at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 at 12:02 AM (edited) Well, usually a special committee does not agree to anything except the report that it will present to its parent body. So, why is this committee approving a proposal? How did it come to have the power to do that?

Well, the committee has several proposals. And as you say, they agree on nothing and that's why the motion to approve a particular layout was being attempted to be voted on again. The proposal(s) will eventually be reported/recommended to the board. There are currently 2 proposals! On 11/7/2023 at 5:02 PM, Rob Elsman said: So, why is this committee approving a proposal? How did it come to have the power to do that? That raises another concern of mine. There already exists a Long Range Planning Committee, standing committee tasked as follows: Long Range Planning Committee: The purpose of the Long Range Planning Committee is to provide the Board with reports, recommendations, and suggestions regarding the future needs of Members and a suggested timeframe to implement future facilities and programs to meet those needs. This committee is tasked with what amenities will/should be included at the renovated recreation center. It makes me wonder if this is a violation of 50:10?

Rob Elsman Posted November 8, 2023 at 12:34 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 at 12:34 AM As far as I can tell, "the motion to approve a particular layout" is not in order. The committee does not seem to have authority to approve any layout, as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
