Section 7.

At eight o'clock P. M. on the first Monday in January, following a regular municipal election, the Council shall meet at the usual place for holding meetings, at which time the newly elected Councilpersons shall assume the duties of their office. Thereafter the Council shall meet at such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution. The Mayor, the President of the Council, or any three members thereof, may call special meetings of the Council upon at least twelve hours' written notice to each member of the Council, served personally on each member or left at the Councilperson’s usual place of residence. Such notice shall state the subjects to be considered at the meeting and no other subjects shall be then considered unless all members of Council are present. All meetings of the Council or committees thereof shall be public unless an executive session is held for one of the reasons set forth in Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G) and any citizen shall have access to the minutes and records at all reasonable times.
