The Board may adjourn any regular, adjourned regular, specials, or adjourned special meeting to a time and place specified in the order of adjournment. Less than a quorum may so adjourn from time to time. If all members are absent from any regular or adjourned regular meeting, the Clerk of the Board may declare the meeting adjourned to a stated time and place, and he shall cause a written notice of the adjournment to be given in the same manner as provided in Section-2-1.105 of this article for special meetings, unless such notice is waived as provided for special meetings. A copy of the order or notice of adjournment shall be conspicuously posted on or near the door of the Board Chambers or place where the regular, adjourned regular, special, or adjourned special meeting was held within twenty-four (24) hours after the time of adjournment. When a regular or adjourned regular meeting is adjourned as provided in this section, the resulting adjourned regular meeting shall be a regular meeting for all purposes. When an order of adjournment of any meeting fails to state the hour at which the adjourned meeting is to be held, it shall be held at the hour specified for regular meetings. (Rule 3, Ord. 555)
An emergency or special meeting may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, or by a majority of the members of the Board, by delivering personally or by mail a notice in writing to each member and to each local newspaper of general circulation and radio or television station requesting notice. Such notice shall be delivered personally or by mail at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of such meeting as specified in the notice. The call and notice shall specify the time and place of the special meeting and the business to be transacted. No other business shall be considered at such meetings by the Board. Such written notice may be dispensed with as to any member who at or prior to the time the meeting convenes files with the Clerk of the Board a written waiver of notice. Such waiver may be given by telegram. Such written notice may also be dispensed with as to any member who is actually present at the meeting at the time it convenes. (Rule 4, Ord. 555)
The presiding officer of the Board shall preserve order and decorum and shall decide questions of order, subject to appeal to the Board. Any action on an appeal that would override the requirement for a two-thirds vote must be adopted by a two-thirds vote. The presiding officer may place a motion before the Board from the chair. (Rule 7, Ord. 555, as amended by § 1, Ord. 1227, eff. November 5, 1998)
