Motions and amendments

Motions and amendments. (1) Every motion or any amendment thereof shall be received in writing and then duly moved. Every motion shall be seconded, and until seconded no debate thereon shall take place nor shall it be put to vote. No amendment which merely negatives an original motion shall be allowed. (2) Any motion or amendment may be withdrawn by its proposer with the consent of the municipal council. (3) An amendment to an amendment may be moved at any stage of the debate. (4) On the conclusion of the debate, in the event of there being several amendments to an amendment, the presiding authority shall put the last amendment to vote first and after it is disposed of the next preceding amendment shall be put to vote and so on until all the amendments are disposed of. The original motion or the amended motion, as the case may be, shall then be put to vote. (5) When any motion or amendment involves many points the presiding authority may divide it and put each point to vote separately. (6) When a motion or amendment has been put to vote and declared by the presiding authority as carried, no further proposals for amending the motion or amendment shall be entertained.
