A. Four assembly members constitute a quorum. Four affirmative votes, by either four assembly members or three assembly members on a tie vote, plus the vote of the mayor, are required for the passage of an ordinance, resolution, or motion, excepting the provisions for filling of vacancy and emergency ordinances provided for in this title.

B. Except when adopted as part of a consent agenda, the final vote on each ordinance, resolution, or substantive motion is a recorded roll call vote. All assembly members present shall vote unless the presiding officer, for special reasons, permits a member to abstain. (See HBC 2.10.190(C).) A member of the assembly is considered present for the purposes of a quorum if the member is disqualified from voting or is allowed to abstain by law. Attendance at regular and special assembly meetings by long-distance teleconferencing may be utilized to establish a quorum for voting or to allow attendance by an absent assembly member at the member’s request, providing costs of long-distance teleconference are borne by the assembly member unless prior arrangements are made.
