C.

At the City Council meeting, prior to accepting a motion to approve the consent calendar, the Mayor shall ask the members of the Council whether there are any objections to the items on the consent calendar. upon the objection of any member, items so identified shall be removed from the consent calendar without the need for stating a reason and shall be heard in regular agenda order.

D.

All remaining items on the consent calendar shall be approved by roll call, without debate, after a motion for approval is moved and duly seconded.

Approval of the consent calendar shall be deemed approval of all items under the consent calendar. the approval of each item shall be set forth separately in the journal of proceedings of the meeting.

2.

Where such items require a roll call vote, the roll call of votes cast for the consent calendar shall be recorded.

3.

Minor modifications to consent calendar items that were recommended by council standing committees shall be deemed incorporated into those items.

4.

Ordinances placed on the consent calendar for second reading shall be deemed read for a third time and final action shall have been taken on those items upon approval of the consent calendar.

5.

Should the vote on approval of the consent calendar fail, the items on the consent calendar shall be heard in regular agenda order during the remainder of the council meeting.
