The Mayor shall take his or her chair at the appointed time for the meeting of the City Council and immediately call the members to order. He or she shall preserve strict order and decorum in the meeting, and shall decide all questions of order, and his or her decision shall be final unless an appeal is taken to the Council. Such appeal can only be taken on the demand of at least two members of the council in the following form: “Shall the decision of the chair stand as the decision of the City Council?” Whereupon, the City Clerk shall call the roll of members, record the vote and, if the majority vote is “nay”, the decision of the chair shall not be sustained.
(Prior Code, § 30.03)
