(e) ZONING EXCEPTION. The provisions ofthis Rule 5.06 shall not be applicable to zoning resolutions which shall be governed exclusively by Chapter 33 of the code. (t) NO COMMISSION JURISDICTION. Prior to the Commission's considering any resolution over which the Commission does not have substantive jurisdiction, including resolutions expressing the Commission's intent or opinion, a preliminary vote shall be taken to determine whether it is appropriate for the Commission to consider such resolution. Unless the Commission, by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members present, agrees to consider the resolution, the resolution shall be deemed to have failed. If the Commission agrees to consider the resolution, the resolution shall be heard after all other resolutions sponsored by Commissioners have been addressed by the Commission. If the Commission decides to discuss such resolution, the resolution shall require a two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote ofthe Commissioners present in order to be passed. The provisions of this ordinance shall not apply to resolutions relating to state or federal legislative priorities. (g) COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION. No resolution or ordinance for second reading, unless it pertains to administrative issues as opposed to policy issues, shall be considered by the Commission until after it has been reviewed by the appropriate committee or committees. The City Attorney shall forward Commissioner-sponsored resolutions and ordinances to an assistant City Manager or department director for placement on the appropriate committee agenda prior to the item's appearing on the Commission agenda. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission, by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the entire membership, and upon good cause shown in writing, may vote to consider any ordinance or resolution before it has gone to the appropriate committee or committees. These items shall be listed separately on the agenda. All items submitted to committee shall be discharged by the committee within forty-five (45) days. If the committee fails to discharge timely, the item shall be deemed to have been considered by committee. (h) WHEN ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE. Any actions of the Commission may be taken by motion, resolution or ordinance except that any action of the Commission which provides for raising revenue, appropriating funds or incurring indebtedness (other than refunding indebtedness), or which provides a penalty or establishes a rule or regulation for the violation of which a penalty is imposed, shall be by ordinance. (i) ORDINANCES AFFECTING MUNICIPALITIES. Any proposed City ordinance which would directly affect the jurisdiction or the duties of municipalities and their officers shall be brought forward for second reading no sooner than six (6) weeks after its passage on first reading. Immediately following the board's approval ofthe ordinance on first reading, the Clerk of the City Commission shall notify each municipal Clerk in the City of the approval on first reading of each such ordinance by the City Commission together with the date on which public hearing and second reading is scheduled to be held. This subsection shall be construed as directory only, and failure to comply with the provisions hereof shall not affect the validity of any ordinance. -7-
