273. Every vote must be given orally and, upon demand, the votes are entered in the minute book of the council.
No member of the council shall vote on any matter in which he has a direct pecuniary interest either through himself or through a partner; the acceptance of or requisition for services made available to the public according to an established tariff shall not be considered a direct pecuniary interest.
In case of dispute, the council shall decide whether the member has a personal interest in the matter, and such member shall not vote on the matter of his interest.
Should an interested member of the council give his vote without objection, such vote does not nullify the proceedings of the council with respect to third parties in good faith.
