This question came up in regards to recording meeting minutes.
Which is proper:
MOVED by Councillor Edmonds that Council accept the updated Snow Removal Policy: Policy #S-45-1.
or:
MOVED by Councillor Edmonds that Council accepts the updated Snow Removal Policy: Policy #S-45-1.
Another example:
MOVED by Councillor Peavoy that Council direct administration to carry out a plan of action for all the things discussed in the 2016 Council planning session, and to carry forward tasks emergent from the planning session assignments.
or:
MOVED by Cllr. Peavoy that Council directs administration to carry out a plan of action for all the things discussed in the 2016 Council planning session, and to carry forward tasks emergent from the planning session assignments.
In my mind the former sounds correct, but if it is, then I need an explanation as to why it is correct.
If both are proper, then what is the difference between the two?
