Special meetings of the Council may be called by the Mayor or by any three other members of the Council by writing filed with the City Administrator stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall be given by the City Administrator to each member of the Council by mailing a copy of that filing to all members who did not sign or issue the call at least four days prior to the time stated therein, or by personal service at least 72 hours prior to the projected time of meeting. Special meetings may be held without prior written notice to the Council when all Council members are present at the meeting or consent thereto in writing. Any such consent shall be filed with the City Administrator prior to the beginning of the meeting.

Notice to the public and to news media shall be given as required by statute.
