Special meetings may be called any time by the Mayor, or by three members of the City Council, by delivering personally or by mail written notice to each Councilmember and to each local newspaper of general circulation, radio or television station requesting notice in writing. Such notice must be delivered personally or by mail at least 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. Such written notice may be dispensed with as to any Councilmember who, at or prior to the time the meeting convenes, files with the City Clerk a written waiver of notice. Such waiver may be given by telegram. Such written notice may also be dispensed with as to any Councilmember who is actually present at the meeting at the time it convenes. The call and notice shall be posted at least 24 hours prior to the special meeting in a location freely accessible to the public. Neither the notice nor posting requirements shall apply to an emergency special meeting authorized by Government Code Section 54956.5. However, during a meeting called pursuant to such section, the City Council shall not meet in closed session pursuant to Government Code Section 54957. (Ord. 2185 § 1, 1987; Ord. 1486 § 2, 1973; prior code § 1.202(3)).
