Latest version.
  • There shall be a first reading and a final reading of each resolution; provided, however, that any resolution may be rejected upon introduction by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Council, and provided further that any resolution may be withdrawn from consideration before a vote on its final passage by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Council. A resolution shall be read by number and title. A public hearing may be held on resolutions at the direction of the Chairperson or by motion approved by a majority of the Council. Vote on final passage shall be on roll call by the yeas and nays, and a majority of the votes of the members shall be necessary to pass the resolution. If no member objects, the Council may enact more than one resolution by a single combined roll call vote. An enrolled copy shall be prepared after final passage and certified a true copy by the Administrator. On enrolling, the Administrator shall have authority to correct obvious errors in section references and numbers, capitalization, spelling, grammar, headings and similar matters.
