(A) Special meetings of the Council may be called by the Mayor or by any two other members of the Council, by writing, filed with the City Administrator stating the time, place, and purpose of the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall be given by the City Administrator to each member of the Council by mailing a copy of such filing to all members who did not sign or issue the call at least three days prior to the time stated therein, or by personal service at least 72 hours prior to the projected time of meeting.
(B) In addition to mailing, the City Administrator shall post a notice of special meeting in the City Hall where other notices are generally posted, and shall advise local news media of the special meeting. Special meetings may be held without prior written notice to the Council when all Council members are present at the meeting or consent thereto in writing. Any such consent shall be filed with the City Administrator prior to the beginning of the meeting. Any special meeting attended by all Council members shall be a valid meeting for the transaction of any business that may come before the meeting.
(C) Meetings of the Council, which are adjourned from time to time, shall not be subject to the foregoing notice requirements; nor shall special meetings which, in the judgment of the Council, require immediate consideration to meet an emergency require such notice, but may be called by telephone communication or any other expeditious means. Notice of special meeting may be dispensed with in a situation which requires immediate emergency action. In determining what constitutes such an emergency, the Council shall be guided by considerations of whether the situation calls for immediate action involving the protection of the public peace, health, or safety, and in all such cases, the members of the Council in attendance shall sign a waiver of notice which shall be made a part of the minutes of such meeting.
