The meetings of the local governing body shall be held in the Council Chambers of City Hall or in such other places in the city as the Mayor and Council shall, from time to time, fix by resolution. Regular meetings shall be held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at the hour of 6:00 p.m.; provided, that the Mayor and City Council may, by order, adjourn at any time not to exceed one regular meeting. Special meetings may be called by the Mayor, or by four members of the City Council, the object of which shall be submitted to the Council in writing. The call and object, as well as the disposition thereof, shall be entered upon the journal by the Municipal Clerk. No other business shall be transacted at such meeting unless all members of the City Council are present and consent thereto. On filing that call for a special meeting, the Municipal Clerk shall notify the Council members of the special meeting, stating the time and its purpose. Notice of a special meeting need not be given to a Council member known to be out of the state or physically unable to be present. A majority of the members of the City Council shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day and compel the attendance of absent members; provided, that on the request of any two members, whether a quorum is present or not, all absent members shall be sent for and compelled to attend. At the hour appointed for the meeting, the Municipal Clerk shall proceed to call the roll of members and announce whether a quorum is present. If a quorum is present the Council shall be called to order by the Mayor, if present, or if absent, by the President of the Council. In the absence of both the Mayor and the President of the Council, the City Council members shall elect a President pro tempore.
