Rule 16. Substantive Motion. <br /> <br />A substantive motion is out of order while another substantive motion is pending. <br /> <br />Comment: This role sets forth the basic principle of parliamentary procedure: to consider and deal with <br />distinct issues one at a time. A new proposal may not be put forth until action on the preceding one has <br />been concluded. <br /> RRO does not refer to substantive motions as such; instead, it uses such adjectives as "main" or <br />"principal". Here, a substantive motion is any motion other than the procedural motions listed in Rule 19. <br />The possible subject of a substantive motion coextends with the board's legal powers, duties, and <br />responsibilities. Indeed, since Rule 13 provides that the board proceed by motion, the substantive motion <br />is the board's exclusive method of action. The procedural motions detailed in the following rules set forth <br />the board's various options in disposing of substantive motions. <br /> <br />Rule 17. Adoption by Majority Vote. <br /> <br />A motion shall be adopted if approved by a majority of the votes cast, a quorum being present, <br />unless an extraordinary majority is required by these rules or North Carolina laws. <br /> <br />Rule 18. Debate. <br /> <br />The chair shall state the motion and then open the floor to debate, presiding over the debate <br />according to these general principles: <br /> <br />(l) <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />The member making the motion or introducing the ordinance, resolution, or order is <br />entitled to speak first. <br />A member who has not spoken on the issue shall be recognized before someone who <br />has already spoken. <br />To the extent possible, the debate shall altemate between opponents and proponents <br />of the measure. <br /> <br />Rule 19. Procedural Motions. <br /> <br />(a) In addition to substantive proposals, the procedural motions listed in subsection Co) of this rule, <br />and no others, shall be in order. Unless otherwise noted, each motion is debatable, may be amended, <br />and requires a majority vote for adoption. <br /> <br />Comment: This rule substantially departs from RRO. Each procedural motion in RRO was reviewed to <br />detecmine whether it as appropriate for use by a small board; substantial modifications and deletions were <br />the result. The following enumeration of procedural motions is exhaustive; ifa procedural option is not <br />listed, it is not available. <br /> <br />Co) In order of priority (if applicable), the procedural motions are: <br /> <br />Comments: While a substantive motion is out of order if another substantive motion is pending, several <br />procedural motions can be entertained in succession without necessarily disposing of the immediately <br />pending one. The order of the list below establishes which procedural motion yields to which--for <br />example, a move to defer consideration (6) may be made while a move to refer to committee (9) is pending <br />because (6) ranks higher on the list. <br /> <br /> <br />
