SEC. 2.103. MEETINGS.

The Board of Supervisors must hold its annual organizational meeting on the eighth day in January of odd-numbered years at noon in City Hall, with other regular meetings scheduled by resolution. Emergency meetings may be held elsewhere by Board resolution, and special meetings outside City Hall require at least 15 days' advance notice and prior committee referral. Committee special meetings outside City Hall also need 15 days' notice. The Board and Mayor must establish ordinance rules for mayoral appearances.

The Board of Supervisors meets once a year in January (in odd years) at City Hall at noon to get organized. After that, the Board sets its own regular meeting schedule. Most meetings happen at City Hall, but in an emergency the Board can meet somewhere else. If the Board wants to hold a special meeting outside City Hall, it has to announce it at least 15 days ahead and get a committee to review the idea first. The same advance-notice rule applies to committee special meetings held outside City Hall. The Board and Mayor also need to write rules about how the Mayor can appear before the Board.

• Complex:The section contains multiple overlapping rules about special meetings in different locations with varying notice periods (24 hours for general special meetings, 15 days for out-of-City Hall meetings, plus committee referral), making it easy to misapply.
• Could be simpler:The distinction between the 24-hour notice requirement for unspecified special meetings and the 15-day requirement for out-of-City-Hall special meetings could be clearer about which rule applies in which circumstance.
