7.5.1 RECONSIDERATION:
Except for votes regarding matters which are quasi-judicial in nature or
matters which require a noticed public hearing, the Council may
reconsider any vote taken either at the same meeting or at a subsequent
meeting provided that there has not been detrimental reliance on the prior
decision by a person affected thereby or that an action has been taken as
a part of the earlier decision which would be impossible to undo. The

the prevailing side, must be seconded and requires a majority vote of the

matters and any special voting requirements related thereto still apply.
Except pursuant to a motion to reconsider, once a matter has been
