Page 8 of 13 In order of priority: Motion 1 To appeal a procedural ruling of the presiding officer. A decision of the presiding officer ruling a motion in or out of order, determining whether a speaker has gone beyond reasonable standards of courtesy in his remarks, or entertaining and answering a question of parliamentary law or procedure may be appealed to the board. This appeal is in order immediately after such a decision is announced and at no other time. The member making the motion need not be recognized by the presiding officer and the motion, if timely made, may not be ruled out of order. Motion 2 To adjourn. This motion may be made only at the conclusion of action on a pending substantive matter; it may not interrupt deliberation of a pending matter. A motion to adjourn to a time and place certain shall also comply with rules for calling a meeting. Motion 3 To take a brief recess. This motion allows the board to pause briefly in its proceedings. Motion 4 Call to follow the agenda. The motion must be made at the first reasonable opportunity or it is waived. Motion 5 To suspend the rules. The board may not suspend provisions of the rules that state requirements imposed by law on the board. Motion 6 To go into closed session. The board may go into closed session only for one or more of the purposes listed in G.S. 143-318.11. The motion to go into closed session shall cite one or more of these purposes and shall be adopted at an open meeting.19 Motion 7 To leave a closed session. This motion provides a mechanism for returning from closed session to an open meeting. Motion 8 To divide a complex motion and consider it by paragraph. The motion is in order whenever a member wishes to consider and vote on subparts of a complex motion separately. Motion 9 To defer consideration. The board may defer a substantive motion for later consideration at an unspecified time. A substantive motion that has been deferred expires 90 days thereafter unless a motion to revive consideration is adopted. If consideration has been deferred, a new motion with the same effect cannot be introduced while the deferred motion remains pending. A motion to suspend the rules is possible in raising a new motion. Motion 10 Motion for the previous question. The motion is not in order until every member has had an opportunity to speak once. An affirmative vote on motion 10 does not approve the substantive issue, which requires a separate vote.
