VIII. - Voting.

Voting ultimately decides all questions. The council may use any one of the following ways of voting:

a.

Voice Vote. All in favor say "aye," and all opposed say "no." The mayor rules on whether the "ayes" or the "nos" predominate, and the question is so decided.

b.

Raising of Hands. All in favor raise their hands, and then all opposed raise their hands. The mayor decides which side predominates and notes dissents for the record.

c.

Roll Call. The clerk calls the roll of the council members, and each member present votes "aye" or "no" as each name is called. The roll is called in alphabetical order, with the following special provision: On the first roll call vote the clerk shall begin with the first name on the list; on the second vote, the clerk shall begin with the second and end with the first; and so on, continuing thus to rotate the order. This rotation shall continue from meeting to meeting.
