(A) The votes of the members may be by voice vote, standing vote or any other manner which signifies the intention of the members. If the vote is not unanimous, there shall be a roll call vote of the entire Council for recording in the minutes. If any member is present and does not wish to cast a vote, the minutes shall indicate the person’s name and vote which shall be recorded as “abstained”.
(B) Three votes in favor shall be necessary for the approval of any ordinance unless a larger number is required by statute.
