(A) In forming a Committee of the Whole Council, the presiding officer, if leaving the Chair, shall appoint a Chairperson to preside.
(B) When an ordinance is committed to the Committee of the Whole Council, the ordinance shall be read by the Chairperson or the Clerk, and debated by sections or clauses. The body of the ordinance shall not be defaced or interlined, but all amendments, noting the line and page, shall be duly entered by the Chairperson or Clerk on a separate paper as it shall be agreed on by the Committee, and so reported to Council. After report, the ordinance shall again be subject to debate and amended by clauses before a question to engross it is taken.
(C) The rules of procedure in Council shall be observed, as well as parliamentary law, in a Committee of the Whole Council, as far as they may be applicable, except the rule limiting the time of speaking, but no member shall speak more than twice on any question until every member choosing to speak has spoken.
