(A) The city clerk, after receiving the electronic attendance request, shall inform the corporate authority of the request for electronic attendance.
(B) After establishing that a quorum is physically present at a meeting where a member of the city council desires to attend electronically, the presiding officer shall state that: 1) a notice was received by the city clerk in accordance with these rules, and 2) the requesting member will be authorized to attend the meeting electronically unless a motion objecting to the member's electronic attendance is made, seconded and approved by four-fifths (4/5) of the members of the city council physically present at the meeting. If no such motion is made and seconded, or if any such motion fails to achieve the required vote by the members of the city council physically present at the meeting, then the request by the member to attend the meeting electronically shall be deemed approved by the city council and the presiding officer shall declare the requesting member present. After the declaration by the presiding officer, the question of a member's electronic attendance may not be reconsidered. (Ord. 1093, 10-1-2007)
