All motions shall be recorded in the minutes and stated in full before they are submitted to a vote by the presiding officer. All petitions and other communications addressed to the City Council shall be in writing and shall be read in full upon presentation of the same to the Council. They shall then be recorded in the minutes by title and filed with the minutes in the office of the Clerk.
