Section 8. Meetings and Organization
   (a)   Regular Meetings. At 7:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday in January in even-numbered years, Council shall meet at the Council Chambers of the Municipality for the purpose of organization. Thereafter, Council shall meet at such times as may be prescribed by its rules, regulations, ordinances and by-laws, but it shall hold regular meetings at least twice during each calendar month of the year, not to exceed thirty (30) continuous days during the calendar year in which no regular meeting need be held. All meetings of Council, whether regular or special, shall be open to the public except that Council may hold executive sessions not open to the public to consider such matters as permitted by the laws of the State of Ohio.
   (b)   Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Council may be called in accordance with, and as provided for by, the rules, regulations or by-laws adopted by the Council. In the absence of such provisions, special meetings may be called by a vote in the Council taken at any regular or special meeting thereof, or shall be called by the Clerk of Council upon the written request of the Mayor or President of Council, or three (3) members of Council. Any such request shall state the time, place and date thereof and the subject or subjects to be considered at the meeting, and no other subject or subjects shall be considered. Notice in writing of such special meeting called at the request of the Mayor, the President of Council or three (3) members of Council shall be given to each member of Council and the Mayor by serving such notice on each of them personally or by leaving a copy thereof at his or her usual place of residence, not less than twenty-four (24) hours preceding the date and hour of such meeting. Service of such notice may be waived in writing. The members of Council shall be held to have waived such notice by their attendance at the special meeting. (Amended 11-6-90)
