No council member shall speak more than twice, nor more than five (5) minutes on each occasion, upon any one (1) question in debate during the same regular public meeting, special meeting, or work session, without leave of the council, except in explanation, unless he or she is the mover, proposer, or introducer of the matter pending, in which case, he or she shall be permitted to speak in reply, but not until every other member desiring to speak shall have spoken. A council member's time begins as soon as they are called upon by the presiding officer.
