Chapter 9. VOTING BOARD RULES AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Councilmembers in legal session convened shall use the electric call vote.

(b)

When a question item has been discussed and the council, by at least a majority, has indicated (according to Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised) they are ready to vote, the president or chairman shall announce: "Roll call vote". The chairman will allow adequate time for the members to vote.

(c)

The chairman shall then instruct the council administrator to record the vote. The council administrator shall throw the master board switch. This action will simultaneously record the vote. Those votes not lit shall not be considered. If the council administrator notices a member has thrown two switches in error, he shall call this to that member's attention prior to flipping the switch to the master board. In the event of malfunction of the electrical board, no votes shall be recorded. The president or chairman will ask for another vote by verbal or roll call.
