shall address the chair. Other persons in attendance at the meeting shall not speak unless recognized by the Chair (Roberts’ Rules).
Prior to the discussion by the City Council on each item to be considered, the Chair shall first ask for a motion from the Council on

then engage in any final discussion on the matter and act on the business item without interruption from the public.
