Three (3) members of the council shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. Motions may be passed by a majority if only three (3) attend, but ordinances,
resolutions granting franchises and payment of money require at least three (3) affirmative
votes. Where there is no quorum, the mayor, mayor pro tempore, or any member of the
council or the city clerk if no member of the council is present, shall adjourn such
meeting and the city clerk shall post written notice on the door of the council chambers
stating the time and date to which the meeting is adjourned. For the purpose of considering
any item subject to vote of the council, when a member of the council disqualifies
himself because of a conflict of interest, his presence shall not be considered in
determining the presence of a quorum. Consideration of such item shall be deferred
until a quorum of disinterested council members is present to discuss and vote on
the item, if disqualification reduces those in attendance to less than a quorum.
