Amending resolutions

If any amendment is moved to any resolution (whether relating to the ordinary business of a Council or otherwise), the mover of such amendment shall hand his amendment in writing to the Town Administrator. No amendment shall be allowed unless it forms with the resolution (either by addition or subtraction of words or both) one or more complete, intelligible, and consecutive sentences. The Town Administrator, upon receiving such written amendment, shall forthwith hand the same to the mayor who shall at the conclusion of the remarks of the member then addressing the Council, or at any earlier suitable opportunity, read the amendment to the Council and the Mayor shall ask whether any member seconds the same. If no member seconds the amendment, the amendment shall be considered as lost and shall be so recorded by the Town Administrator.
