A roll call vote shall be taken and recorded for all ordinances, resolutions, and any action which would create a liability against the municipality and in any other case at the request of any member of the governing body by a "yes" or a "no" vote and shall be recorded.

The governing body on a two-thirds vote may expel any person who is disorderly during the meeting of the governing body. This section or any action taken by the governing body pursuant hereto does not preclude prosecution under any other provision of law. Rule No. 2 The agenda for the meeting will be the guide to the meeting. Items may only be placed on the agenda by either the mayor or any two council members. While matters not on the agenda may at times come up for discussion, no final action can be taken on any matter not on the agenda. Rule No. 3 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 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 council, the mayor can ask for vote on the matter. Any council-member, 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 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. Rule No. 4 The mayor and council members shall treat each with respect and act at all times during the meeting in a civil and courteous manner to each other and the public.
