CONCERNING PROCEDURES:
1. Consideration on Petitioners or applicants
All petitioners and applicants will .be requested to present
first their problem to the Town Manager for study and rec-
- ommendation to the Council. -
No -determining action on the request of the Petitioner is
to be completed during the session of "hearing of petit-
, ioners" . If the matter is one requiring legislative action
it will have been placed on the agenda and be considered
properly under unfinished or under new business .
2. Items of business are to be scheduled on an agenda by the
1111
Town Manager .
On Friday afternoon, prior to Council meeting on Monday ,
the Town Manager will send each Council member a copy of
the agenda completed with background material, reports ,
basic information and recommendations for each item on the
agenda.
3. Under unfinished and new business , prior to the presenting
of the item to the table , the Council may hear an additional
report on .the item from the Town Manager.
4. To be discussed , the matter must be officially "given" to
the Council. This is done primarly by resolution offered ,
then seconded , or by a report from a standing or select
committee accompanied by a resolution.
An objection to the consideration of a motion needs no se-
• cond , but a 2/3rds vote is required ..
If the resolution is not ruled out of order by the chair ,
it is read and then belongs to the .body. The ruling of the
chair , on appeal , may be reversed by a majority vote.
Obstructionist may be ruled out by: order of the presiding
officer.
5. A resolution requires a second--is debatable--is amendable--
requires a majority vote unless otherwise specified--may
be reconsidered--and is not in order when another order is
pending. .
6. A 2/3rds vote may "move the previous question" . This stops
debate and orders an immediate vote.
7. When there is a departure from the regular order of business ,
a member may ask for a return to the "Order of the Day" . A
2/3rds vote , in the negative , is required to refrain from
returning to the order of the day.
