Chapter 4 ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT.
Section 4-9 QUESTIONS OF ORDER
At
Council
meetings, the Mayor shall decide questions of order
and may, without vacating the chair, give his reasons for his decision.
From any decision of the chair, an appeal may be made to the body
in
session, the question being “Shall the decision of the chair be
sustained?”
Upon such appeal no debate shall be allowed if it refers to a
question of
decorum, but if it relates to the priority of business or to the
relevancy or
applicability of propositions, the appeal may be debated.
