SECTION 2.
Paragraph D of Article III of the Rules is hereby amended
to read as follows:
"D. Voting If voting is by voice vote, the chair shall
declare the result and note for the record all "aye" votes and all
"no" votes. The Council may also vote by roll call vote or visual
display. Regardless of the manner of voting, the results
reflecting all "ayes" and "noes" must be clearly set forth for the
record.
A tie vote results in the failure of the motion,
resolution or ordinance. Where a Council decision is required by
law, a tie vote is neither an approval nor denial and' the matter
is still before the Council for action. Only those members
present at the meeting are permitted to vote. Votes cast at
previous meetings are not counted. Proxy voting is not permitted.
In the event of a tie vote upon any motion, resolution or
ordinance, or in the event a motion, resolution or ordinance
receives more affirmative then negative votes but fails to receive
the minimum number of affirmative votes legally required for
adoption, the following rules shall apply with regard thereto:
1. If such failure of action is the result of the
absence of one or more members who would otherwise have been
legally qualified to vote on such matter and which vote(s) could
have resulted in the adoption of the motion, resolution or
ordinance, the matter shall be deemed automatically continued by
operation of law to the next regular meeting for further
consideration.
2. If such failure of action is the result of an
abstention by one or more members (whether legally required or
otherwise), such matter shall be deemed denied by operation of law
without further action; provided, however, that if such
abstention(s) was (were) required pursuant to the Political Reform
Act of the State of California (Government Code Section 81000 et
seq.) or other applicable law, one or more of the abstaining
members shall be legally entitled to vote on such matter to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

3. Any action by operation of law pursuant to
subparagraph 2 above shall be deemed a final decision of the City
Council for all purposes (subject to any rehearing procedures
otherwise available) except that any action pursuant to either
subparagraph 1 or 2 above shall be subject to reconsideration in
the time and manner set forth in these rules."
SECTION 3.
Except as expressly amended herein, Resolution No.
88R-405 shall remain in full force and effect.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this25th day of Ouly, 1989.
