26 33 <br /> regarded as a vote on the motion as amended if that is deter- <br /> mined to be the intent of the board. <br /> Comment: This motion is identical to the motion of the same <br /> name in Robert's Rules of Order except for the requirement <br /> for written amendments to proposed ordinances. <br /> 12. To Revive Consideration. The motion is in order at any time <br /> within one hundred days of a vote deferring consideration <br /> of it. A substantive motion on which consideration has been <br /> deferred expires one hundred days after the deferral, un- <br /> less a motion to revive consideration is adopted. <br /> Comment:This motion replaces the motion to take up from the <br /> table in Robert's Rules of Order and was renamed in order to avoid <br /> confusion. This motion may be debated and amended;the motion <br /> in Robert's Rules of Order may not.If the motion to revive consid- <br /> eration is not successful within 100 days of the original deferral <br /> date,the substantive motion expires. The subject matter of the <br /> motion may be brought forward again by a new motion. <br /> 13. To Reconsider. The board may vote to reconsider its action <br /> on a matter. The motion to do so must be made by a member <br /> who voted with the prevailing side (the majority, except in <br /> the case of a tie; in that case the "nos" prevail) and only at the <br /> meeting during which the original vote was taken, including <br /> any continuation of that meeting through recess to a time <br /> and place certain. The motion cannot interrupt deliberation <br /> on a pending matter but is in order at any time before final <br /> adjournment of the meeting. If a member wishes to reverse <br /> an action taken at a previous meeting, he or she generally <br /> may make a new motion having the opposite effect of the prior <br /> action. <br /> Any new motion having the opposite effect of the prior action <br /> that is related to the board issuing or not issuing a permit <br /> may be considered only where new evidence is presented to <br /> the board concerning the permit and all pertinent ordinance <br /> requirements, substantive and procedural, including those <br /> related to public hearings, have been met. Any new motion <br /> having the opposite effect of the prior action that relates to <br /> an ordinance may only be considered consistent with perti- <br /> nent ordinance requirements, substantive and procedural, in- <br /> cluding those related to public hearings. <br />
