§ 101-68. Decorum.

All commissioners are expected to conduct themselves in a courteous and respectful manner. Commissioners seeking information from staff should do so within the confines of proper decorum. A commissioner shall not speak until recognized by the chair and likewise shall not interrupt another commissioner's remarks. All comments made by a commissioner shall directly address the motion or item being discussed. The chair shall enforce the rules of decorum and if a commissioner believes that a particular rule is being broken he/she shall raise a point of order when recognized by the chair. A second on a point or order issue is not required, and the chair may either rule on the question or allow the board to decide the issue by majority vote. Any commissioner shall have the right to express dissent from or protest against any resolution or action of the board and have the reason entered into the minutes.
