All meetings may be adjourned to a time, place and date certain, but not beyond the next regular meeting. Once adjourned, the meeting may not be reconvened. Meetings may be adjourned by the Mayor by a simple declaration thereof in the absence of a protest by any council member. Meetings may also be adjourned upon the making and seconding of such a motion in accordance with the procedures on motions established by this subchapter. If a quorum is not present, less than a quorum may adjourn a meeting. If all members of the council are absent, the City Clerk/Deputy City Clerk may declare the meeting adjourned to a stated time and place and shall cause a written notice of the adjournment to be given in the same manner as provided in § 30.31 for special meetings. When any meeting is adjourned, the City Clerk/Deputy City Clerk shall post notice of such adjournment on the council chamber door within 24 hours after the time of the adjournment, unless sooner notice is required by law. When a regular or adjourned regular meeting is adjourned as provided in this section, the resulting meeting is a regular meeting for the purpose of transacting business.
