SECTION 1. Definitions
“A Resolution to Establish New Floor Rules” shall be defined here.
SECTION 2. Amendment
Section 5B of “A Resolution to Establish New Floor Rules” currently states:
“The Presiding Officer is not permitted to unilaterally approve of a motion that has not satisfied all standards and procedures in Section 3. The Presiding Officer may propose a Motion to Adjourn the District Council themself if there are no remaining items on the session docket, but may not adjourn the District Council until the motion passes the necessary vote. The only exception to this is if the quorum is no longer met, in which case the Presiding Officer must adjourn the session, unless the quorum is met again within 10 minutes.”
Section 5B of “A Resolution to Establish New Floor Rules” shall be amended to state:
“The Presiding Officer can unilaterally adjourn a session of the District Council, but only if there are no items left on the docket for consideration. Additionally, if a quorum is no longer met, the Presiding Officer must adjourn the session, unless the quorum is met again within 10 minutes. The Presiding Officer may choose to immediately move to debate on an item, even without a Motion to Debate being presented. In all other cases, the Presiding Officer cannot approve of a motion that has not satisfied all standards and procedures outlined in Section 3 of this resolution.”
