Why shouldn't they? The city government represents the citizens of that city, who are calling for a ceasefire. They're saying "we hear you and agree there should be a ceasefire"
Why shouldn't they? They have no power to do anything, and it isn't their business. Any time they spend on posturing about things they can't have any impact on is time they can't spend doing their actual jobs.
These city council meetings keep getting over run with citizens making statements about the situation and that is actually preventing them from doing other things. That's why they passed this. So that the citizens will feel appeased and let them move on to their real business. It's the citizens who are wasting the time in this case and if that's their prerogative then so be it.
