Action by Council which is not required by this Charter to be taken by ordinance, may be taken by resolution. Such a resolution shall be in writing and shall be introduced by a member of the Council, and may be adopted by a viva voce vote of a majority of a quorum. No waiting period, notice, hearing or publication shall be required and a resolution shall become effective upon its adoption. However, the Clerk of Council shall record resolutions in a separate book, which shall be a public record.
