A motion to amend an amendment shall be in order, but a motion to amend an amendment to an amendment shall not be in order. An amendment modifying the intention of a motion shall be in order, but an amendment relating to a different matter shall not be in order. A substitute motion on the same subject shall be acceptable, and voted on before a vote on the amendment. Amendments shall be voted first, then the main motion as amended. 7.12 Motion for Reconsideration: Any Board Member who voted with the majority may move a reconsideration of any vote at the same meeting or request an agenda item on at the next regular meeting or request a special meeting called to be held prior to the next regular meeting to consider reconsideration of any vote.

Following the vote, the Presiding Officer shall verbally announce whether the motion carried or was defeated. The Presiding Officer may also publicly state the effect of the vote for the benefit of the audience before proceeding to the next item of business. Any member may change his/her vote before the next item of business is called. A roll call vote shall be used for adopting or amending the budget, and otherwise ordering the payment of money. All other actions may be adopted by roll call vote or any other voting method by which the vote of each Board Member present can be clearly ascertained, so as to confirm a recorded majority vote of the total membership of the Oversight Board. 8.3 Failure to Vote: Every Board Member should vote unless disqualified for cause. A Board Member who abstains from voting on an item because of being disqualified shall be considered as if absent. Resolution No. OB-2018-113 Page 14 8.4 Tie Votes: When no Board Member abstains from voting, the motion shall be lost on a tie vote. Any member who abstains and is not considered absent shall be deemed to have acquiesced to the motion and the motion shall be passed on a tie vote.

The acknowledgment shall include a summary of general content and whether the communication includes opposition or support of an agenda item.
