§ 2-1013. Decorum.

(a)

All commissioners should conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner. All remarks should be directed to the chairman rather than to individual commissioners, staff or citizens in attendance. Personal remarks are inappropriate.

(b)

A commissioner should not speak at a meeting until he has been recognized by the chairman. All comments made by a commissioner shall address the motion or item that is being discussed.

(c)

The chairman shall enforce these rules of decorum. If a commissioner believes that a rule has been broken, he can raise a point of order. A second is not required. The chairman can rule on the question or he can allow the board to debate the issue and decide the issue by majority vote.
