The call for special meetings of the Common Council shall be by that mode of communication most reasonable in the circumstances, which may be delivered to the person entitled to receive the notice in person by the Mayor or by the members of the Common Council calling the meeting, or by the Superintendent of Police of the city or his or her designate. If the member entitled to receive notice cannot be personally notified of the call of the special meeting, then notice shall be sufficient if a written notice is left at his or her last and usual place of residence, or if he or she has a known place of business, then at the office at his or her place of business or by electronic message. Notice of any special meeting shall not be necessary in any case where the member in fact appears at the special meeting and does not raise objection thereto. Notice, in whatever mode given, shall apprise the member of the identity of the person calling the meeting, the time and place at which it is to be held and generally the purpose thereof. Notice shall be given at least two days in advance of the time of the meeting to the end that the member by reasonable diligence can attend the place of meeting at the time set. Notice of special meetings shall also be given to the news media.
