CRAFTER 7 <br /> Chart V <br /> Principal Rules Governing Motions <br /> Motions —These are a formal method of bringing business before the council and for stating proposi- <br /> tions on which the council will have to make a decision. The list contains the more common motions. <br /> Motions can be made only by the councilmembers, clerk or mayor. <br /> Requires a second — Motions which have a "yes" after them in this column must be seconded by a <br /> councilmember before they can be considered. The maker of a motion may not second his or her own <br /> motion. By seconding a motion, a person does not necessarily indicate that he or she is in favor of it. <br /> Can interrupt a speaker— Motions which have a "yes" in this column can be made at any time during a <br /> council meeting. They may be made even while another person has the floor and is speaking. <br /> Debatable —A "yes" in this column means that the council can discuss the merits of the motion. A "no" <br /> means that no discussion is allowed, and that the motion must be voted on as soon as it is made and <br /> seconded. <br /> Amendable— Motions with an affirmative mark in this column can be changed by amendment. Motions <br /> with a "no" in this column must be voted on in the same form as the motion was originally made. <br /> Vote required to pass —This tells whether the motion requires a simple or a two- thirds majority for <br /> passage. <br /> Can be reconsidered —This indicates whether or not a motion that was once passed or defeated by the <br /> council can be considered again later in the meeting. <br /> Requires Can Interrupt Vote Required Can Be . <br /> Motions a Second a Speaker Debatable Amendable to Pass Reconsidered <br /> L PRIVILEGED MOTIONS' <br /> 1.
