If there is a major change in the question, such as dramatic new
information, it could justify re-hearing an issue.

Otherwise, most organizations that use Robert's Rules of Order would
first require a 2/3 vote on the question of whether to put the item
on the agenda, since the previous majority decision is in effect
being reversed.

I don't know what parliamentary authority is used by the Community Board
but it probably has something similar, since this is a basic principle
for deliberative bodies.

At the Economic Development CB12 meeting a couple of weeks ago, they did indeed discuss the same restaurant again, but because the 34th precinct did not provide enough information (other than having called Dyckman a bar strip with a concentration of liquor licenses in the 2 block stretch), they tabled it !
