BOOK 22 PAGE 60 <br />4. To Suspend the Rules. The motion requires a vote equal to a <br />quorum. <br />5. To Divide a Complex Motion and consider it by Paragraph. <br />6. To Defer Consideration (also refers to "tabled" items.) A <br />substantive motion whose consideration has been deferred expires <br />one hundred days thereafter, unless a motion to revive <br />consideration is adopted. <br />7. To Call the Previous Question. The motion is not in order until <br />there has been at least twenty minutes of debate and every <br />member has had one opportunity to speak. <br />8. To Postpone to a Certain Time or Day. <br />9. To Refer to Committee. Sixty days after a motion has been <br />referred to a committee, the introducer may compel consideration <br />of the measure by the entire board, regardless of whether the <br />committee has reported the matter back to the board. <br />10. To Amend. An amendment to a motion must be relevant to the <br />subject of the motion, but it may not achieve the opposite effect to <br />the motion. There may be an amendment to the motion and an <br />amendment to an amendment, but no further amendments. Any <br />amendment to a proposed ordinance shall be reduced to writing. <br />11. To Revive Consideration. The motion is in order at any time within <br />one hundred days of a vote deferring consideration. A substantive <br />motion on which consideration has been deferred expires one <br />hundred days after the deferral, unless a motion to revive <br />consideration is adopted. <br />12. To Reconsider. The motion must be made at the same meeting <br />where the original vote was taken, and by a member who voted <br />with the prevailing side. It cannot interrupt deliberation on a <br />pending matter, but is in order any time before adjournment. <br />13. To Prevent Reconsideration for Six Months. The motion shall be in <br />order only immediately following the defeat of a substantive motion. <br />It requires a vote equal to a quorum and is valid for six months or <br />until the next regular election of county commissioners, whichever <br />occurs first. <br />Rule 20 Renewal of Motion A defeated motion may not be renewed at the <br />same meeting. <br />10 <br />
