§ 2-99. Motion to reconsider.

Any one member of the council may give notice of a motion to reconsider any vote, resolution or ordinance having for its object the increase of the indebtedness of the city, the expenditure of the city moneys, authorizing the sale of any part of the public property of the city or the granting of any franchise where the streets or public alleys are to be used for any purpose in the prosecution of the business of the applicant seeking the franchise. The notice shall operate to delay the question until this motion can be acted upon at the next regular or special meeting. In all other cases, a motion to reconsider any of the proceedings of the council shall not be entertained unless made by a member who previously voted with the prevailing side. A motion to reconsider at the same meeting matters other than those specified in this section shall have precedence over a motion to reconsider and to delay until a subsequent meeting. After the vote count has been announced on any issue by the president of the council, members of the council are prohibited from changing their votes unless proper procedures for reconsideration of a vote are followed.
