(a)
The mayor, the city manager or any two (2) members of the city council may call a
special meeting at any time; provided, that at least 12 hours' written notice of the
special meeting shall be served personally on each member or left at his usual place
of business or residence, which notice shall contain a statement of the specific items
of business to be transacted. No business other than that specified in the notice
shall be transacted at the meeting, except by the unanimous consent of all the members
of the city council. However, a special meeting may be held at any time without notice
if all members of the city council attend such meeting or waive notice thereof.
(b)
Whenever a special meeting is held at a location other than at city council chambers,
notice of the time and location of any such meeting shall be published in a newspaper
of general circulation published in the city at least five (5) days prior to the meeting.
In the event there is no newspaper of general circulation published in the city, the
notice may be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in the city. In
the event of an emergency no notice need be published provided the city manager, the
mayor or any two (2) members of the council attempts to give the news media such notice
as can reasonably be given under the circumstances. (Code 1963, Sec. 2-29)
