The Mayor shall open and introduce an item on the agenda in order, unless the Mayor feels like there is a good reason to go out of order. If the item is one that requires discussion, the City Council members can consider the item in a polite, civil, free-for-all type exchange of ideas for as long as they feel necessary. The Mayor may or may not, at his or her discretion, allow members of the public or staff to participate in the discussion. When the Mayor thinks the discussion has gone on long enough, and the item is one that requires a decision of the City Council, the Mayor can ask for vote on the matter. Any City Councilmember who has had enough of the discussion, can at any time also ask the Mayor to either move on to the next item or call for a vote on the item. If a majority of the others on the City Council agree, the Mayor shall call for a vote or move on to the next item as appropriate. No formal motions or seconds are required or necessary.
