(a) A proposed amendment to, or repeal of, any rule in this chapter shall be submitted in writing as a nonemergency ordinance, and may be passed in the same manner as other nonemergency ordinances.

(b) The most current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised shall govern in all cases to which they are applicable and in which they are not inconsistent with City Charter or ordinance and any special rules of order the Council may adopt.

(c) The Council rules shall be observed in all cases unless suspended temporarily for a special purpose of an emergency nature by a vote of five (5) members present. Any member may move, at any time, for the suspension of any rule, and such motion must be seconded to entitle it to consideration.

(d) If any member, in speaking or otherwise, transgresses the rules of the Council, the Chair shall, or any member may, call the member to order; in which case the member so called to order shall immediately cease discussion unless permitted by the Chair to explain; and the Council, if appealed to, shall decide the question without debate. If the decision be in favor of the member so called to order, the member shall be at liberty to proceed; if otherwise, the member shall not proceed without leave of the Council to proceed in order.
