Guest cma Posted January 12, 2011 at 08:40 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 at 08:40 PM A resolution was passed in October and was part of the minutes of that month. At the December board meeting, someone who was not at the meeting in October made a motion to create a policy on the same issue that was taken care of in October. Our president was not at the December meeting because if she was, she would have known right away that the issue had already been dealt with in October with the creation of the resolution. Obviously this proves what she has been trying to tell us for many months that we need to pay attention to the minutes,what we approve and she cannot be the sole person who knows motions, resolutions, etc. Here's the question: at this month's meeting, can we/how do we rescind the December motion? I'm embarrassed to say that the president is the one who read the draft minutes and in a very nice way "went through the roof" reading that the same issue was discussed that was already part of a resolution--there were 7 of us who should have known that and we need to fix this and show the president that she has a board that will step up to the plate.THANK YOU for your help on this matter.

George Mervosh Posted January 12, 2011 at 08:53 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 at 08:53 PM Did it conflict with what was adopted in October?{edit} If it just re-iterated a portion of what you adopted in October, forget it and move on. My friends will help you if it's more complex than that....my 2FP meeting beckons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the President will rule the point well taken, so that will settle the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cma Posted January 13, 2011 at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 at 07:29 PM Thank you. Yes, it could be interpreted as conflicting. So, a point of order will be raised and then it will be documented in the January minutes that the motion from December is null and void?thanks again.

The chair's reasoning for the ruling should also be included (that it conflicts with a motion previously adopted by the assembly and still in force).
