The Mayor or any two members of the City Council may file a written order requiring the attendance of any Council member who may be absent from any City Council meeting, and shall have the power to send members of the police force of the city with such written order to bring the absent Council member before the Council. It shall be unlawful for any member of the City Council to fail or refuse to immediately accompany such police officers to the Council Chamber upon being served with such written order, unless such member of the City Council is injured, ill or incapacitated to such an extent as to reasonably preclude such attendance on his part, or unless he is so precluded by the serious illness or injury of any member of his immediate family.
