As a Robert’s Rules nerd, I throughly enjoyed this post! I wonder if you know whether it was common to have city legal staff present at these meetings? At our small city’s council meetings the city attorney usually serves as parliamentarian but smaller surrounding municipalities rarely have someone in that role (since they often contract for legal services).
This scenario of Robert's Rules of NO order reminds me of Adam Schiff vs. Jim Jordan. GB is Jaime Raskin providing wise counsel to calm down the ferocious tigers.
