Sec. 5. Meetings and Quorum.
   In each calendar month, excepting July and August, where only one meeting per month shall be required, the Council shall hold at least two (2) regular meetings, the time and place of which shall be prescribed by ordinance. A majority of the Council shall constitute a quorum to do business unless otherwise specified in this Charter or by the Constitution or laws of the State of Ohio, but a lesser number may adjourn the meeting from time to time and compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as are prescribed by ordinance. The Mayor or any four (4) other members of Council may call special meetings upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to the Mayor and each member, served personally or left at his or her other usual place of residence. Such notice shall state the time, date and place thereof, and the subject or subjects to be considered at the meeting, and no other subject shall be there considered. Except as provided by the Constitution or the laws of the State of Ohio, all Council meetings shall be open to the public at all times.
