Guest too much drama Posted January 28, 2011 at 04:08 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 at 04:08 PM Our board collected bids for services, reviewed them, and voted to hire a specific individual for these services. When contacting the other bidders to let them know they did not recieve the contract one of them brought a much better counter-offer to the table. My question is if our board wanted to undo the previous vote to hire a different individual and go with this new "counter-offer", what would be the correct way to do it and would we simply need the 50% majority that we needed to pass it originally or would we require 2/3 or 3/4?Help me please...I hate drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If contracts are involved, however, there are likely legal considerations as well and you may need to consult a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, a majority is "more than half," not "50%." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
