A. At any meeting of the city council a majority of the councilmembers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn from time to time.
B. In case a quorum should not be present at any meeting of the council, any two members of the council then may cause written notice to be served personally upon the absent members directing their immediate attendance, whereupon the members receiving such written notice shall be required to attend immediately. If any member receiving such written notice fails to attend immediately, the members in attendance may direct the chief of police to bring the member or members so failing to attend to the city council chamber, whereupon the chief of police shall immediately place the member or members so failing to attend in custody, and bring the member or members immediately to the council chamber; provided, however, that no member who has been excused from attendance by the city council, or in whose immediate family there is serious illness or death, shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
