nominations, vote will be taken. The two highest vote- getters
will move on. In case of a tie, where there are not two high
vote -getters, there will be a run-off between the tie to
establish the 2nd high vote -getter. If a tie is at 2,2,2, than
the Mayor will vote to break tie. Remaining two candidates will
have run-off to break tie. If still tied at 3,3, then it will be
decided by a coin toss. There will then be a brief interview of
the two high candidates and then a vote. If at a deadlock after
three ballots, the Aldermen will have chance to final
questions. The next ballot will proceed and after three
• deadlocks, the City Clerk will toss a coin to decide who will
fill position; Mayor will call the toss. Seconded by Ald
