The Mayor shall preserve order during meetings of the City Council and shall decide all questions of order, subject to an appeal to the City Council. When any person is called to order, he or she shall be seated until the point is decided. When the Mayor is putting the questions, no person shall leave the meeting room. Every person present, previous to speaking, shall rise from his or her seat, clearly state his or her name and address himself or herself to the presiding officer, and while speaking shall confine himself or herself to the question. All resolutions or motions shall be reduced to writing before being acted upon, if requested by the City Clerk or any member of the Council. Every member of the Council who is present when a question is voted upon shall cast his or her vote, unless excused by a majority of the City Council present. No motion shall be put or debated unless seconded. When seconded, it shall be stated by the Mayor before being debatable. In all cases where a motion or resolution is entered on the minutes, the name of the member of the Council making the motion or resolution shall be entered also. After each vote, a roll call vote shall be taken and entered in the minutes upon the request of any member of the Council. Before the vote is actually taken, any resolution, motion or proposed ordinance may be withdrawn from consideration by the sponsor thereof with the consent of the member of the Council seconding the said resolution, motion or ordinance. When any question is under debate, no motion shall be made, entertained or seconded except the previous question, a motion to table and to adjourn. Each of the said motions shall be decided without debate. Any of the rules of the City Council for meeting may be suspended by a two-thirds’ vote of the members present. In all cases in which provisions are not made by these rules, Robert’s Rules of Order is the authority by which the City Council shall decide all procedural disputes that may arise.
