RULES OF PROCEDURE<br />16.4 RECORDED VOTE<br />If 10 members present at the meeting demand it, the names for and against the motion or amendment or abstaining from voting will be taken down in writing and entered into the minutes (but only in relation to meetings of Council).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
