Special Considerations. <br /> <br />Situations can arise where a member of a commission, a board, or the City Council abstains from <br />voting because of a conflict of interest, but his or her abstention becomes a vote either for or <br />against the matter because a majority are required to pass or reject that matter. This can happen <br />where four-fifths vote is needed to pass an issue, or the vote has to be a clear majority and a split <br />vote does not pass or reject. <br /> <br />When this happens, the City Attorney must be consulted and the final vote should carry a public <br />notice explaining what took place, and how it was resolved. <br /> <br />Section 5.
