The presiding officer must preserve order and decorum, decide questions of order and conduct meetings in accordance with these rules. The City Council is governed in its procedure by the provisions of Robert’s Rules of Order (Newly Revised Edition), except where otherwise provided by law or by this chapter. The Council may make and change its own rules from time to time by resolution duly adopted and any changes supersede Robert’s Rules of Order (Newly Revised Edition). The presiding officer may speak on any question being considered, and has the rights, privileges and duties of any other member of the Council.
