A: Resolutions (written motions) should be used when the motion is either important or lengthy. (RONR pp. 102-103.)

Resolutions are composed of one or more resolving clauses, and may have one or more preamble ("whereas") clauses. There is some choice in the form, but here's an example of a full-blown resolution you can use as a model.

Whereas, Our club's library is at least ten years out-of-date;
Whereas, Several members need to do research in the latest technical manuals; and
Whereas, Johnson's Book Store has a thirty percent off sale this weekend; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the club librarian be instructed to purchase $200 worth of new technical manuals at Johnson's Book Store this weekend; and
Resolved, That the club hold a bake sale within two months to replenish the treasury.

Note the capitalization, punctuation, and final period. (RONR pp. 102-107.)
