The text
Special meetings of the city council may be called at any time by the mayor or by three members of the city council, by written notice delivered personally to each member at least twenty-four hours before the time specified for the proposed meeting; provided, however, that any special meeting of the city council shall be a validly called special meeting without the giving of the written notice as above provided, if all members of the city council give their consent in writing to the holding of the meeting. The consent is on file in the office of the city clerk at the time of holding the meeting. A telegraphic communication from a councilman consenting to the holding of the meeting shall be a consent in writing, within the meaning of the terms as expressed in the foregoing sentence. At any special meeting, the power of the city council to transact business shall be limited to matters referred to in the written notice or written consent. Notice may be dispensed with in regard to any councilman who is present at the meeting.
