The Council <br /> meeting held on the second Tuesday of the month will be conducted as a study session <br /> and only Council business deemed necessary by the Councilmembers and/or City <br /> Manager will be acted upon. The Council meeting held on the fourth Tuesday of the <br /> month will be conducted as a regular Council meeting during which the great majority of <br /> the Council business will be acted upon. <br /> Subd. 2. Special Meetings. The Mayor or any two members of the Council may call a <br /> special meeting of the Council by notifying the Clerk of the time, place and purpose of <br /> the meeting. Unless a special meeting date and time is set by the Council at a Council <br /> meeting, the Clerk shall give each Councilmember at least 3 days' notice of the meeting. <br /> The notice will specify the time, place and purpose of the meeting and will identify the <br /> person or persons who called the meeting. The notice will be delivered to the <br /> Councilmember personally or to the Councilmember's home by mail.
