The Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tempore, or any two members of the Board of Commissioners may at any time call a special Board meeting by signing a written notice stating the time and place of the meeting and the subjects to be considered. The notice shall be delivered to the Mayor and each Commissioner or left at his or her usual dwelling place at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting. Only those items of business specified in the notice may be transacted at a special meeting, unless all members are present or have signed a written waiver of notice. In addition to the notice procedures set out in this section, a person or persons calling a special meeting of the Board of Commissioners shall comply with the notice requirements of G.S. Ch. 143, Art. 33C. Special meetings may be held at any time when the Mayor and all members of the Board of Commissioners are present and consent thereto, or when those not present have signed a written waiver of notice. During any regular meeting, or any duly called special meeting, the Board of Commissioners may call or schedule a special meeting, provided that the motion or resolution calling or scheduling any such special meeting shall specify the time, place, and purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be adopted during an open session.
