(a) Regular meetings of Council shall be held at least once a month at the Council Chamber in the City Hall building or such location as approved by the affirmative vote of three members of Council, as such times are fixed by resolution of Council. The Mayor or the President of Council, as the case may be, may and, upon written request of a majority of the members of the Council, shall call a special or emergency meeting of the Council. The call shall designate the purpose of the special or emergency meeting and no other business shall be considered. All meetings of Council shall be open to the public and public notice of meetings shall be given as required by Title 65 PaCS, Section 709, Public Notice. The minutes of every meeting and the journal of proceedings shall be kept by the City Clerk and shall be signed by the officer presiding at such meeting and by the City Clerk.
(b) In case of any emergency arising, including but not limited to, the illness of any elected or appointed officer or employee of the City which prevents his presence in the Council Chamber in the City Hall building or designated location, Council may, by resolution or motion, authorize the transfer of any stated or special meeting to any other room in the City Hall building or any other designated room or building, and there transact all business of the Council, including the passage of ordinances, resolutions, or motions, with the same force and effect as though such meeting had been held and conducted in the Council Chambers. However, such transferred meeting shall be open to the public.
