After a motion is moved for and seconded and is stated or read by the presiding officer, it shall be deemed to be in the possession of the council and may not be withdrawn by the maker of the motion or the member seconding the motion. If a motion is made and seconded but not moved to the council for debate, the maker of the motion and the member seconding the motion may withdraw the motion. (Ord. 648 § 5, 2005)
