Any person who wishes to offer the principal presentation in support of the main motion under an article must so notify the Moderator prior to the session at which the article is called. Unless granted an extension of time by vote of the meeting, the individual speaking as the principal proponent on a main motion shall not speak for more than 10 minutes. If more than one person indicates a desire to make a presentation in support of the article, the Moderator may divide the time. The same rules will apply should there be a principal speaker in opposition.

No person shall speak more than three minutes at one time, and no more than twice upon any question, provided that no person shall speak a second time on any question if there are others who desire to speak on it for a first time, except to answer an inquiry or to give information requested, without first obtaining leave of the meeting.

A.
When final action has been taken under an article and the meeting has taken up the next order of business, or adjourned, the subject matter of such article may not again be taken under consideration unless, in the discretion of the Moderator, a significant error or omission occurred in connection with the meeting's action under that article, or a significant change in circumstances has occurred, such that there is a substantial likelihood that the outcome could change upon reconsideration or that reconsideration is in the Town's best interest.
B.
Upon a motion and second for reconsideration, the Moderator shall ask the maker of the motion to state the circumstances necessitating reconsideration. If, in the opinion of the Moderator, reconsideration meets the criteria established in the above subsection, the Moderator shall so state and the meeting shall proceed without debate to a majority vote on the motion for reconsideration.
