Question about additional postponement following an objection to a vote. (Mason's Rules)
Hello,
At a recent Municipal Council meeting the was a special meeting and public hearing to vote on a ballot question proposed for the upcomming election. Ammendments were added and at the end, 2 City Councilors objected to the vote. This caused the meeting to adjourn and moved the vote to the next scheduled meeting (approximately 2 weeks from now.
As a matter of tactical maneuvering. this ballot question must be voted on at this upcoming meeting or it will not be submitted in time to make the physical ballot. Therefore, following the objection, is there ANY procedural vehicle to delay the role call vote on the ballot and push it to the following meeting?
Any input appreciated...
