changes shall be made to the schedule of regular meetings and continued dates of same unless the

The Board of Supervisors may hold such special meetings as it deems necessary and at such times and
places as it may find convenient. A special meeting can only be called pursuant to the requirements

Section 1-3. Continued Meetings
Upon majority vote of the members attending, the Board may continue its meetings, regular or special,
from time to time as it may find convenient or necessary with no requirement to further advertise or
announce.
Section 1-4. Quorum and Method of Voting
At any meeting, a majority of the Supervisors shall constitute a quorum. All questions submitted to the
Board for decision shall be determined by a majority vote of the Supervisors present and voting on any
such question, unless otherwise provided by law or these Rules of Procedure. The name of each member
voting and how he or she voted will be recorded for each action taken by the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors has elected not to have a tiebreaker, as provided for by the Code of Virginia,
1950, as amended.
Section 1-5. Motions
Subject to limitations imposed hereafter in these rules, discussion of items on the agenda shall be
permitted for purposes of clarifying the issues and/or the options available for consideration. No call for a
vote shall be allowed until a member of the Board moves a specific action with reasonable clarity and each
member of the Board has thereafter had an opportunity to speak to the specific motion. Motions shall
require a second. When possible, Board members making complex, multi -part, or lengthy motions are
requested to provide the clerk with a written copy of the motion at the time the motion is made.
Section 1-6. Motion to Adjourn
At a meeting of the Board, a motion to adjourn shall always be in order and shall be decided without
debate, provided each member of the Board is given a reasonable opportunity to be heard.
Section 1-7. Motions While a Question is Under Debate

amend, to refer to committee, for the previous question, for a substitute motion to lay on the table, or to
recess or adjourn.
Section 1-8. Reconsideration of Motions, Etc., Upon Which Vote Has Been Announced; Rescission of
Previous Actions [Amended 05127/20]
At any meeting of the Board, when any vote upon any motion, resolution, ordinance, or question has been
previously announced at that meeting, the Board may not reconsider the matter unless and until a motion
to that effect is presented at that meeting by a member of the Board who voted with the prevailing side
when such motion, resolution, ordinance, or question was considered. Any such motion to reconsider shall
be decided by a majority vote of the members present at the time such motion to reconsider is presented,
If the Board approves the motion to reconsider, the Board shall then proceed with debate on the matter as
it was pending prior to the original vote on the matter.
At a subsequent meeting of the Board, the Board may not rescind any motion, resolution, ordinance, or
question announced at a previous meeting, except and unless:
-The action at issue is practically capable of being rescinded (e.g., a completed transaction or an approval
upon which a party has detrimentally relied may not be the subject of a motion to rescind);
-A Board member makes the motion to rescind not more than 30 days after the vote upon the matter; and
either
Minute Book 45
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of May 27, 2020
County of Frederick, Virginia

-If the Board member has given notice of intent to make the motion to rescind, either by giving such notice
at the immediately previous meeting of the Board or by requesting inclusion of the motion to rescind on the
agenda for the meeting at which the Board member intends to make the motion, and such motion to
rescind receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at the time such motion to
rescind is presented; or
-If the Board member has not given such notice of intent to make the motion to rescind, the motion to
rescind receives the lesser of (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the members (including those not
present at the time such motion to rescind is presented) or (ii) the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
members present at the time such motion to rescind is presented. This situation of having not given notice
shall be an exception to the notice requirements of Article V, Section 5-1 and, in the circumstances in the
previous clause, if the requisite vote is obtained, advance notice to the Clerk is not required.
If the Board approves a motion to rescind, the Board shall proceed with debate on the matter as it was
pending prior to the original vote on the matter, but such debate and further decision of the matter shall
take place not sooner than the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. If the matter was the subject
of a public hearing, approval of the motion to rescind shall require the readvertising and reopening of the
public hearing at a subsequent meeting of the Board, before the Board may take further action on the
matter.
Section 1 9. Robert's Rules of Order; Suspending Rules [Amended 09/14/11] [Amended 02/14/18]

It is the purpose and objective of the Board of Supervisors to give each citizen an opportunity to express
his/her views on the issue(s) at hand at public hearings and to give all speakers equal treatment and
courtesy. While it is often necessary to have a presentation by an applicant and staff, it is the desire of the

The Chair will call upon the appropriate county staff and/or applicant to present such information as is
necessary to explain the action requested of the Board of Supervisors.
Presentations will be brief, concise summaries for the Supervisor's and the public's information and
understanding, provided that sufficient time will be allowed to present, properly and fairly, the subject
matter. When written information has been provided prior to the hearing, that information should be
summarized, and only new information should be presented in detail at the meeting.
Section 6-5, Public Comment [Amended 05/27/20]
Any person desiring to address the Board of Supervisors at a Public Hearing conducted by the Board of
Supervisors shall be required to abide by the rules governing such presentations as set forth in these rules

Members of the public shall be permitted to speak as the Chair recognizes each, provided that no member

speakers shall be recognized in the order in which they have registered.
In the event the number of speakers results in the continuation of a public hearing, any persons registered
but not heard at the initial Public Hearing will be the first given an opportunity to speak at the continued
hearing.
Section 6-7. Presentation of Comments
Each person may address the Board as many times as the Chair, in his or her discretion, may allow, but no
speaker shall exceed the total time limit set by the Chair.

action or actions requested. Members of the Board shall not engage in debate with the person or persons
making the presentation.
Section 6-9. Staff and/or Applicant Response
The Chairman shall call on the staff or applicant for any response on closing comments with reference to
the public hearing presentations.
Section 6-10. Close of Hearing
When the Chair of the Board shall have closed a public hearing, no further public comments shall be
received.
Section 6-11. Board Discussions and/or Consideration
At the close of the public hearing, the Board of Supervisors shall, at its discretion, act or defer action upon
the matter set for public hearing. In the event the Board defers action to a later date, the record shall be
