  • (A) Regular meetings of the Council shall be designated at the first regular meeting of the Council in January of each year, except that the first regular meeting shall be held on the same day as the previous year. Any regular meeting falling upon a holiday shall be held on the next following business day, unless changed by the Council, at the same time and place. All meetings, including special and adjourned meetings, shall be held in the City Hall, unless otherwise designated by the Council with proper notice.
    (B) Special meetings of the Council may be called by the Mayor or by any two members of the Council by writing filed with the City Manager-Clerk. At least one day before the meeting the City Manager-Clerk shall notify each member of the time, place, and purpose of the meeting by causing written notice thereof to be delivered to him or her personally if he or she can be found, or, if he or she cannot be found, by leaving a copy at the home of the member with some person of suitable age and discretion. Special meetings may be held without prior written notice when all Council members are present at the meeting or consent thereto in writing. This consent shall be filed with the City Manager-Clerk prior to the beginning of the meeting. Any special meeting attended by all the Council members shall be a valid meeting for the transaction of any business that may come before the meeting. Written notice of any special meeting shall be posted giving the date, time, place and purpose of the meeting at least three days before the meeting. Written notice shall be mailed at least three days before the meeting to anyone who has filed a written request for notice of special meetings. In calculating the three days, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the next regular business day shall be counted as the third day.
    (C) All Council meetings, including special meetings and adjourned meetings, shall be open to the public, unless closure is permitted or required by the Open Meeting Law, M.S. Ch. 13D, as it may be amended from time to time.
    (D) No Council meeting shall be conducted after 7:00 p.m. on the day of a political party precinct caucus.
