Yes, in most city council meetings, a motion to adjourn typically requires a second and is subject to a vote. This process ensures that council members agree to end the meeting before it officially concludes. However, specific rules can vary depending on the council's governing procedures or bylaws, so it's important to consult those documents for precise requirements.
The end of a meeting is called an adjournment. Adjournment must be introduced by a motion. It must be seconded and voted on by the members present.Another AnswerIn British English, when a meeting is finished, it is 'closed'. If it is temporarily suspended (e.g. for lunch, or until the following day) then it is 'adjourned'. Adjourned does NOT mean to 'end'.
It usually means something was proposed, seconded and voted on in the meeting. If the majority of the vote was for whatever had been proposed - it's said to have been carried.

Yes. Most commonly this word arises in describing a formal meeting where a motion has been made. For a motion to be formally considered, another individual must express support for its consideration. This is done by saying, "I second that motion." Once that stage has occurred, the motion is described as seconded. For example, "Ms. Wilson has seconded the motion to adjourn which must be voted on immediately in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order." The word less commonly is encountered when discussing the ranking of things. If an item is put in second place, it may be said to have been "seconded." In that case it can also be an adjective, "The seconded item was taken off of the winner's pedestal." There are other variations of usage, but most are related to these two examples.
