(a) The council of the city shall hold regular meetings on the first three Mondays of each month, at five-thirty p.m. in the council chambers of the City Hall, 250 Hamilton Avenue, in said city unless the council chambers shall be determined by a majority vote of the council to be inadequate or unavailable for a meeting, in which event the council may designate some other suitable place in the city for the conduct of the meeting. The determination to hold the meeting at a place other than the council chambers may be made by the mayor prior to the regular meeting date; provided, that notice of the change in place for conduct of the meeting shall be published prior to the meeting in a newspaper of general circulation published in the city, setting forth the reasons for the change, and a copy of the notice shall be posted on the council chamber door for at least twenty-four hours prior to the time scheduled for the meeting and during the meeting. If the council adjourns its meeting from the council chambers to another place, notice to adjourn and the new place for holding the meeting shall be posted on the council chamber door during the time the meeting is being held.
(b) Each year, no later than the third meeting in February, the council shall by resolution schedule its vacation for that year. The resolution shall designate the dates of this scheduled vacation and the city clerk will give notice thereof by whatever means are deemed appropriate. During said scheduled annual vacation, there shall be no regular meetings of the council nor of the council standing committees, unless it is an adjourned regular meeting. The mayor or a majority of the council may call a special meeting during the scheduled vacation if necessary.
