The rules set forth in this chapter are to expedite the transaction of the council's
business in an orderly fashion and deemed to be procedural guidelines only; the failure
to observe or enforce such rules shall in no manner affect the jurisdiction of the
council or the regularity, validity, legality, or effectiveness of any proceeding
or action taken by the council that is otherwise in conformity with general law. The
council expressly reserves it discretion to conduct its own proceedings otherwise
than as provided in this chapter.
