The issue was removed from the agenda then after it's removal - voted to committee. Good ol' Robert's Rules says that ain't right. (So does common sense but rarely does that matter in CC). Until the attorney CC hired gives them his opinion all these 3 can do is find a 4th to open that golden parachute before Jan. Looks like Liz Carey just wrapped some duct tape around the pull cord. -janedoe
There is nothing in Robert's Rules that prohibits the action that took place this past Tuesday Evening. If anything, the whole group of them need to learn there is no such thing as "I'd like to make a motion." You say "I move to" then the item in question that you move to.
So, the motion on Tuesday Night should have happend like so:
Member of County Council: Mr. Chairman, I move to strike item 11 from this evening's agenda.
Having reached a second on the motion, along with discussion and a call for the question (with the obligatory second), pending a successful vote, you could then take the following action (which sorta happened):
Member of County Council: Mr Chairman, I move to take the issue that was item 11 and refer it to our appointed committee.
Now, as for Liz and her one court case and one opinion, let me educate you further: Common Law and precedents. A single court case does not make for either, especially in the hands of an excellent lawyer. Depending on the scope and definition, the referenced court case may not have ANY bearing on what will play out.
Chess - I keep telling everyone to learn how to place chess. When will you people learn?

PS - I know Robert's Rules and have been recognized in the past for knowing them to the degree that I do.
