A. Regular meetings of the council shall be held only on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the council chambers, unless otherwise designated by the council. At least two regular meetings shall be held in each month. A regular meeting may be canceled by the council; however, if no quorum exists or there is an emergency, it may be canceled by the mayor.

B. Special meetings of the council shall be held at the regular meeting place of the council. Special meetings shall be called by the city clerk on the written request of the mayor, of the city manager, or of any two members of the council.

C. Emergency meetings may be held and business may be legally transacted if all council members are present or if absent members have waived, in writing, the required notice; or, if there is a quorum of the council. Waiver of notice can be made before or after the meeting is held. A waiver of notice shall be made a part of the journal for the meeting. The clerk shall make reasonable attempts to notify all council members of the emergency meeting.

D. Attendance and participation at meetings by members of the public or by members of a governmental body may be by teleconferencing. Materials that are to be considered at the meeting shall be made available at teleconference locations if practicable. The vote at a meeting held by teleconference shall be taken by roll call.

E. No business shall be transacted at any special or emergency meeting except that which is specifically stated in the notice of the meeting.

F. The council shall adjourn not later than 11:00 p.m. and may not reconvene any earlier than 9:00 a.m. the next day. However, by two-thirds consent of the council members in attendance the meeting may be extended for up to one hour, at which time adjournment is mandatory.

G. If, after having been lawfully assembled in a properly designated location, the council determines that a condition exists which renders the location unsuitable, the council may recess the meeting and reconvene at a different location suitable to the needs of the council. The location to which the meeting shall be reconvened shall be made known publicly prior to recess and notices shall be posted at the place originally designated by the clerk.
