(a) All recommendations, resolutions, reports, and findings of a board shall be submitted through established administrative procedures within the city to the appropriate city department or the city council. In no event shall the members of the board, either individually or as a board, circumvent the administrative procedure through which such information is to pass. If no action is taken, or the resolution or suggestion is not properly passed to the city council or appropriate city officials, then, upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed by a majority of the members, the chair of the board shall be directed and authorized to make known the wishes of the board to the city council or appropriate city official.
(b) Unless approved by the city council, members of a board, either individually or as a board, shall not present board recommendations, resolutions, reports, or findings to persons or agencies outside the city organization except in the ordinary course of official board meetings.
