Who can break a tie in a vote when the mayor steps out in a Borough

[Guest Anonymous]

The mayor of a Borough's son is applying to be a police officer.

There is no anti-nepotism policy in town.

 The mayor took himself out of the vote because it would be unethical.

 The candidate received the job but is waiting for the vote to be passed. 

The vote for the past few times has been 3-3.  

The Operation is a Borough.  

Who can vote when the mayor steps out and the vote is constantly 3-3?

So far as RONR is concerned, no one. A majority in the affirmative is necessary for adoption. If a vote is tied, the vote fails, since a tie is less than a majority. RONR does not grant anyone magical tie-breaking powers, nor is there a need for them.

It may be that your organization's own rules or applicable law provide otherwise on this subject, but that is beyond the scope of RONR and this forum.
