If, by reason of fire, flood, earthquake or other emergency, it is unsafe to hold any meeting of the Council in the Council chambers at the civic center, any such meeting may be held for the duration of such emergency at such place as shall be designated by a majority of the Council. In the event the Council chambers shall be determined by a majority of the Council to be too small to conveniently accommodate the persons in attendance at any meeting, the Council may, either before or during such meeting, adjourn such meeting to such place within the city as designated by a majority of the Council.
