(A) Upon the call for the question, the Mayor shall repeat, word by word, the question before the Council and shall then ask those in favor of the question to respond by saying “aye” and those not in favor of the question to respond by saying “nay” and shall record the number of members so responding to each.
(B) The ayes and nays on any question shall always be recorded when requested by any member. The Clerk shall call the roll and take names of all who vote aye and all who vote nay, which he or she shall enter in the minutes. When the question has been stated and the first response has been made to the Clerk’s call, all debate shall cease and no member shall say more than “yea,” “nay,” or “abstain.”
(C) During the call, no member shall leave the Council chamber. Every member present shall, when his or her name is called, give his or her vote or state that he or she is abstaining.
