Rule 15-10 Motion to reconsiderLinkCopy Citation
(a)
When in order. After a question has been decided, a motion to reconsider is in order if:
(1)
the bill, resolution, motion, or other matter on which the vote was taken is still in the possession of the City Council; and
(2)
the motion is made:
(i)
on the same day on which the original vote was taken; or
(ii)
at the next succeeding regular meeting of the City Council.
(b)
Who may make.
(1)
Except as otherwise provided in this rule, a motion to reconsider may be made only by a Councilmember who voted with the prevailing side on the original vote.
(2)
If a bill on final passage receives 8 votes but fails because a higher number of votes was needed, a motion to reconsider may be made by any Councilmember.
(c)
Re-reconsideration. The vote on a motion to reconsider may not itself be reconsidered.
