23 <br /> <br />MOTION TO FIX HOUR OF ADJOURNMENT <br />Any regular meeting can be adjourned to a stated date, time and place. <br /> <br />MOTION TO TABLE <br />A motion to table shall be used to temporarily bypass the subject. A motion to <br />table is not debatable and shall preclude all amendments or debate of the <br />subject under consideration. <br /> <br />MOTION TO LIMIT OR TERMINATE DISCUSSION <br />Such a motion shall be used to limit or close debate on, or further amendment <br />to, the main motion and shall be undebatable. If the motion fails, debate shall <br />be reopened; if the motion passes, a vote shall be taken on the main motion. <br /> <br />MOTION TO AMEND <br />A motion to amend shall be debatable only as to amendment. A motion to <br />amend an amendment shall be in order, but a motion to amend an <br />amendment to an amendment shall not be in order. An amendment modifying <br />the intention of a motion shall be in order, but an amendment relating to a <br />different matter shall not be in order. A substitute motion on the same subject <br />shall be acceptable and voted on before a vote on the amendment. <br />Amendments shall be voted upon first. The main motion shall then be voted <br />on, either as amended or as originally stated, if the amendment fails to pass. <br /> <br />CONTINUANCE OF MATTERS <br />a) When five (5) or fewer members of the Council are present at the scheduled <br />meeting, a request for a continuance may be made once in order that the matter <br />may be scheduled for a time when more than five (5) members are expected to be <br />present. <br />b) Requests for continuance when there are five (5) or fewer members present shall be <br />granted unless State law or local regulations require that action be taken at that <br />time. <br />c) Regardless of the number of Council Members present, or upon request by a <br />member of the public, any Council Member may exercise a personal privilege to <br />have an item continued once unless State law or local regulations require that <br />action be taken at that time. This privilege is not to be taken lightly. <br />d) If a matter is continued, the Presiding Officer will ask if those present who wish to <br />speak to the matter can return at a later date. Those individuals who cannot, will be <br />given the opportunity to speak on the matter and said comments shall be made <br />part of the record to be considered at the continued date; however, further <br />comment shall be allowed where new material is presented. <br /> <br />CONTINUED MATTERS, COUNCILMEMBER OBLIGATION <br />When a member of Council is absent from an earlier meeting at which a <br />Exhibit A <br />Resolution No. 2026-021 Page 69
