A. The number of council members necessary to constitute a quorum is three (3), excluding the mayor, but a smaller number of members may:
1. Adjourn a meeting of the council if a quorum is not present;
2. Compel the attendance of its own members; and
3. Provide penalties as it deems necessary for the failure to comply with an order to attend a council meeting.
B. A council member may be fined if:
1. The member refuses to attend when notified by proper authority that the member's presence is necessary to form a quorum; or
2. The member leaves a council meeting when in session without the consent of the council, when leaving would break the quorum. (Ord. 2008-15, 8-21-2008)
