A council member may change his/her vote only if a timely request to do so is made immediately following the announcement of the vote by the City Clerk/Deputy City Clerk and prior to the time the next item in the order of business is taken up. A council member who publicly announces that he or she is abstaining from voting on a particular matter shall not subsequently be allowed to withdraw the abstention.
