111.15 VOTING.

   (a)   All action by Council shall be by roll call vote with each Council member voting either “Yea” or “Nay”. Most actions by Council shall be by ordinance or resolution. Action on appointments by Council or confirmation of appointments by the Mayor shall be by Resolution approved by the majority of members elected to Council. Action by Council, not required by law to be by ordinance or resolution, may be taken by motion approved by at least a majority of the members present at the meeting when the action is taken. (Ord. 2004-050. Passed 4-20-04.)

   (b)   If a Council member shall pass or refuse to vote yea or nay during a vote on any question when the Council member’s name is called by the Clerk of Council, the Clerk of Council shall continue the roll call and after the conclusion of the initial roll call shall again call upon such Council member for a vote. Unless the provisions of Section 111.151 apply, the Council member shall at that time vote “Yea” or “Nay”. (Ord. 2008-230. Passed 12-16-08.)

   (c)   A Council member may not abstain from voting but may vote “Yea” or “Nay” “with comment.” In such case, he or she will be called upon for his or her comment by the Chair at the conclusion of the voting and his or her comment shall be entered into the minutes.
