If an appeal is taken, the question shall be, "Shall the decision of the Mayor be sustained?" 14. Action and Direction 14.1 Votes, General Rules Unless otherwise provided, the City Council's actions must be passed pursuant to a majority vote on a motion, and the motion may not be considered unless it is seconded. A simple majority vote by those Councilmembers present is necessary to pass a motion providing direction to staff or establishing administrative policy, however motions for the adoption of resolutions and ordinances require an affirmative vote of at least three Councilmembers to pass the motion as provided in Section 16.4 Majority Vote by Three Councilmembers Required. A Council majority may, before the vote is called, require that a roll call vote be taken on the motion before the City Council. For such roll call vote, Councilmembers' names will be called by the City Clerk in order of: Councilmember who made the motion; Councilmember who seconded the motion; then others alphabetically; with the Mayor's name called last. Councilmembers shall not give explanations for their vote during roll call. If a motion does not receive the necessary majority vote for passage, the Mayor may solicit additional discussion and another motion for further deliberation and voting. If further discussion and deliberation does not result in a motion receiving a majority vote necessary to pass a motion, the Mayor may declare that "no action has been taken" and proceed with the remainder of the agenda. In the event of a tie vote, the procedures in section 14.2 Tie Votes, shall control. 23
