A recommendation from a committee of more than two people does not need a motion or a second to be considered by the assembly or board.
The Chair of the Committee (or whom ever is presenting the report) states the recommendation and the Chair (of the meeting) proceeds directly to debate on the recommendation. The reason no motion is necessary is that the committee was instructed by the assembly to make these recommendations, therefore the motion and second occurred when the committee was given the assignment. The Chair (of the meeting) says ' The matter before you is the committee recommendation to (state the recommendation), is there any debate?'
If the committee is a committee of one, no motion is necessary, but a second is necessary.
Recommendation from a committee should be taken up, debated and voted on when the committee report is given, they should NOT be held until new business. By the reasons stated above - these items are not new business. If it is desired to delay the consideration of the recommendations, the entire report should be delayed, not just the recommendations.
