|
|
The Mayor will move a closure motion under Procedure Rule 17 to terminate the meeting 4 hours after the beginning of the meeting (excluding any breaks/adjournments). Note: 1. The Mayor will put the motion to the vote and if it is carried will then:- (a) Call on the Member who had moved the item under discussion to give their right of reply, before then putting the matter to the vote, taking into account the need to put any amendments that have been moved to the vote first; (b) Each remaining item on the agenda that has not been dealt with will then be taken in the order they appear on the agenda and put to the vote without debate. The Member responsible for moving each item will be given the opportunity by the Mayor to withdraw the item or to have it voted on. If there are any amendments that have been submitted, these will be taken and voted on first in the order that they were received. (c) Following completion of the outstanding items, the Mayor will then close the meeting. 2. If the motion moved by the Mayor is not carried the meeting will continue in the normal way, with each item being moved and debated and voted on. 3. Any Member will still have the opportunity to move a closure motion should they so wish. If such a motion is moved and seconded, then the same procedure as outlined above will be followed. Once all the remaining items have been dealt with the Mayor will close the meeting. |
