(A) The Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tempore, or any two members of the Board may at any time call a special Board meeting by signing a written notice stating the time and place of the meeting and the subjects to be considered. The notice shall be delivered to the Mayor and each Commissioner, or left at his or her usual dwelling place, at least six hours before the meeting. Only those items of business specified in the notice may be transacted at a special meeting, unless all members are present or have signed a written waiver of notice.
(B) Special meetings may be held at any time when the Mayor and all members of the Board are present and consent thereto, or when those not present have signed a written waiver of notice.
(C) Except in the case of an emergency meeting, the Board shall cause written notice of the meeting, stating its purpose, to be posted on the principal bulletin board of the Board or, if the Board has no bulletin board, at the door of its usual meeting room; and to be mailed or delivered to each newspaper, wire service, radio station, and television station which has filed a written request for notice with the Clerk or with some other person designated by the Board. The Board shall also cause notice to be mailed or delivered to any person, in addition to the representatives of the media listed above, who has filed a written request with the Clerk or other person designated by the Board. This notice shall be posted and mailed or delivered at least 48 hours before the time of the meeting. The Board may require each newspaper, wire service, radio station, and television station submitting a written request for notice to renew the request annually. The Board shall charge a fee, determined by the Board from time to time, to persons, other than the media, who request notice and may require them to renew their requests quarterly. A person or persons calling a special meeting of the Board shall comply with any other notice requirements of G.S. §§ 143-318.9 et seq.
