A. A motion to set aside a vote (to reconsider) on a main motion shall always be in order at the same meeting. The motion to reconsider is amendable and debatable. Such motion can be made by any Councilmember regardless of how he previously voted on the matter. If the motion to reconsider passes, the effect thereof is to overrule and cancel the prior action.

B. A motion to rescind (repeal, cancel, nullify) prior Council action on a main motion shall be in order at any meeting of the Council. The effect of rescinding prior Council action shall operate prospectively only and not retroactively to the date of the original action. That is, it shall not operate to adversely affect intervening legal rights which create an estoppel situation.

C. A lost motion is one that fails to receive the necessary number of votes to carry. Tie votes result in a lost motion. Lost motions may be renewed at any subsequent Council meeting. To revive a lost motion at the same meeting, the proper action is a motion to reconsider discussed in this section.

D. Any member shall have the right to have his reasons for his dissent from, or protest against, any action of the Council entered in the minutes. (Ord. 1486 § 2, 1973; prior code § 1.239).
