Special meetings of the Council may be called as provided by its rules, regulations, bylaws, or by resolution or ordinance. In the absence of any such provisions, special meetings may be called by a vote of Council taken at any regular or special meeting thereof, or shall be called by the Clerk of Council upon the written request of the Mayor, or the President of Council, or any three (3) members of Council.
Notice, in writing, of each such special meeting called at the request of the Mayor, President of Council, or three (3) members of Council, shall state the date and time and subject or subjects to be considered, and no other subject or subjects shall be considered thereat. The Clerk of Council shall cause such written notice to be served upon the Mayor and each member of Council, either personally or by leaving a copy thereof at his or her usual place of residence, not less than twenty-four (24) hours preceding the time for the meeting. In the event that a special meeting is called by a vote of Council taken at any regular or special meeting from which any member of Council is absent, written notice of such special meeting shall be given such absentee in the manner and form herein before provided. Service of such notice may be waived by an instrument, in writing, signed prior to the hour of such meeting, and the Mayor and any Council member shall be deemed conclusively to have waived such notice by his attendance at any such meeting.
