§ 3.13. Meeting place; meetings to be public.

All regular meetings of the city commission shall be held at the usual place of holding meetings of the city commission; but a special meeting may be held elsewhere in the city under authority of a resolution previously adopted authorizing such meetings. Meetings of the city commission shall be public, and any citizen shall have access to the minutes and records thereof at all reasonable times and under the supervision of the city clerk. The commission shall prescribe its own rules, regulations and order of business, and shall keep minutes of its proceedings. The mayor shall maintain order at all meetings, and the police department, upon instructions of the mayor, shall expel any person from the meeting who refuses to obey the order of the mayor in relation to preserving order at the meetings. The commission may meet in conference session at a place other than the regular meeting place, but no official action shall be taken at such conference meeting.
