(1) In the event that four votes are not received for any motion before the Council, the motion shall fail. The Chair shall then ask for another motion. If no other motion is made or if the second motion also does not receive four votes, the Chair shall ask for a motion to continue the matter to a date certain, within a 30-calendar-day time period. If no motion for continuance is made, the Chair shall state that the item has been continued to no date certain but shall be placed on another City Council agenda for consideration within 30 calendar days.

(2) When a motion to approve or deny fails, regardless of the number of votes it fails on, the Chair shall ask for another vote to confirm the Council’s intent. That is, if the vote to approve the item failed, the Chair should ask for a vote to deny the item. If the vote to deny failed, the Chair should ask for a vote to approve the item.
