Rule No. 12. - Rules of debate.

Latest version.

No question shall be debated until it has been propounded by the chair, and then the mover shall have the right to explain his or her view in preference to any other member and shall have the right to close the debate.

When two or more members of the city council arise at the same time, the presiding officer shall name the person to speak; but in all cases, the member who shall first rise and address the chair shall speak first.

No one shall disturb or interrupt a member who is speaking, without the member's permission, except to call to order if the member is transgressing the rules.
