City Attorney
As you requested, this memorandum will confirm our advice
previously stated on the reoord that members of the City
Commission may only oast their votes on any item being oonsidered
by them at the time the roll oall is being taken.
No member may vote before the roll call; although, if a
member of the Commission has to leave the meeting prior to the
roll Dail, suoh member oould make a statement on the record to
the effeot that "if I were able to remain for the roll oall, I
would be voting (for)(against) this item ". The legal effeot 'of
suoh a statement is nil and the statement is void of any
operative effeot and the roll oall vote should reflect the member
as being absent.
Please note also that any member of the Commission oan vote
on any item despite the faot that such member may not be in his
or her seat at the time the roll call is being taken. So long as
the member is within your earshot; i.e., within the range of your
hearing, his or her vote should be recorded. To assist you, we
are sending a copy hereof to the Mayor and eaoh Commissioner with
the suggestion that an audible response be given by each of them
to you at the time you address the member in the order of taking
the vote. In the absence of suoh audible response, you should
reoord the member's vote as you have interpreted his or her
gesture (nodding of head, "thumbs up ", eto.) and announoe
"Commissioner votes (yes)(no) ". In this manner,
there will be a minimum possibility of error or mistake in the
taking of any roll call vote and there will also be substantial
compliance with the requirements of law.
