The Mayor or any two members of the Council may call a special meeting of the Council upon at least 24-hours’ written notice to each member of the Council. Except in cases where notice is waived, the person or persons calling the special meeting shall cause a written notice thereof, specifying the business to be transacted at the special meeting, to be delivered personally to each Council member or to be left at the Council member’s usual place of residence with some responsible person. Similar notice shall be given to the official newspaper, and a copy shall be posted on the bulletin board at City Hall. No business shall be transacted at the special meetings unless the same shall have been specified in the notice thereof, except with unanimous consent of the Council. Any Council member present at any special meeting who fails to object and have the objections entered in the record of the meeting will be conclusively presumed to have consented to the transaction of all business transacted at that meeting, and no objections may thereafter be raised by that Council member that the notice of the special meeting was defective. Written notice of any special meeting shall be posted giving the date, time, place and purpose of the meeting at least three days before the meeting. Written notice shall be mailed at least three days before the meeting to anyone who has filed a written request for notice of special meetings. In calculating the three days, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the next regular business day shall be counted as the third day.
