(A) Rules of debate.
(1) Every member desiring to speak shall address the Chair and, upon recognition by the Mayor, shall confine himself or herself to the question under debate, avoiding all personalities and indecorous language.
(2) A member, once recognized, shall not be interrupted when speaking, unless it be to call him or her to order or as herein otherwise provided. If a member, while speaking, be called to order, he or she shall cease speaking until the question of order be determined and, if in order, he or she shall be permitted to proceed.
(B) Questions of procedure. When any question of procedure shall arise, the latest revised edition of Robert’s Rules of Order shall govern the question, unless the Board has adopted a specific rule of its own on the matter.
