A vote by "yes" or "no" shall be taken on the passage of all ordinances, resolutions and actions and the results of each such vote shall be entered upon the minutes of the Council's proceedings. Except as otherwise provided for in this Charter, or except as otherwise provided for in an ordinance requiring a Town Council vote by other than a majority vote, including when Town Council acts as a lower Board or Commission, the specific voting rules for that body shall apply, every ordinance, resolution or motion shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of those Councilpersons present. Roll call votes need not be taken unless requested by one (1) Councilperson. No Councilperson shall vote on any question in which he or she has a personal or financial interest, other than the common public interest, or on any question concerning his or her own conduct, in which case the Councilperson shall disclose the interest to the Council in open meeting. On all other questions each Councilperson who is present shall vote. Any Councilperson refusing to vote, when not so required by this paragraph, shall be deemed delinquent in his or her duties and an affirmative vote shall be cast and recorded in the Councilperson's name. (Amended 4/3/79; 11/2/21)
