(a) Regular Meetings. Council shall meet in regular session beginning at 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month. When the meeting falls on a legal holiday or declared weather or other emergency day affecting the City, the regular meeting shall be held at the same hour of the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or such a weather or other emergency day. If such succeeding day is not convenient, a regular meeting may be modified as follows:
(1) If falling on a holiday, it may be modified, to be held at the same hour of a preceding or succeeding day within two days of the original regular meeting date, by motion during a regular meeting prior to such modified meeting; or
(2) If falling on a declared weather or other emergency day, it may be modified, to be held at the same hour of a succeeding day within three days of the original regular meeting date, by the Mayor with the consent, as affirmed by Council members during the regular meeting on the modified meeting date, of at least two-thirds of all Council members elected.
(b) Meeting Place. The place of meeting shall be the Council chamber in the City Building. When the Council chamber in the City Building is not or will not, for any reason, be an appropriate place for the meeting, Council may, upon motion, designate another place open to the public within the City for the holding of such meeting. In case of an emergency, the regular meeting place may be modified by the Mayor with the consent, as affirmed by Council members during the regular meeting at the modified meeting place, of at least two-thirds of all Council members elected. The place of meeting shall be in the City.
(c) Notice. Reasonable notice shall be provided of all modifications (1) to regular meeting dates due to an emergency or (2) to regular meeting location. Such notice shall be deemed sufficient if posted prominently both inside and on the main doors of the City Building visible from the outside and, unless not possible due to a power, internet, or other related outage, posted prominently on the City's website, when such posting occurred at least three days in advance of the meeting or, if arising out of an emergency, occurred as soon as possible.
(d) Computation of Time. Time for filings with the Clerk pursuant to Section 115.09 and for delivery of agenda pursuant to Section 115.10 shall be computed in compliance with Section 101.03(c). The term "legal holiday" shall mean the days set forth as legal holidays in West Virginia Code 2-2-1. (Ord. 2278. Passed 8-15-19.)
