At the day and hour set for each regular meeting, each member of the city council,
the city manager, the city clerk and a deputy, the city attorney, and such department
heads or others as have been requested to be present by the city manager shall take
their regular stations in the council chambers. Subject to the provisions of section 2-59, the business of the council is to be conducted in substantially the order and in
the manner as set forth in this chapter, and the parliamentary rules of Roberts Rules
of Order (revised) will be used as a guide only, unless a majority of the council
votes to abide strictly by such rules for a particular meeting.
