§ 244.090. Special meetings of board: Call; notice; filling temporary appointments; canvass of election returns

1. Except as provided in subsections 4 and 5, special meetings may be called by the

chair or, in the chair’s absence, by the vice chair whenever there is sufficient business

to come before the board, or upon the written request of a majority of the board. 2. The clerk of the board shall give written notice of each special meeting to each

member of the board by personal delivery of the notice of the special meeting to each

member at least 1 day before the meeting or by mailing the notice to each member's

place of residence in the county or by deposit in the United States mails, postage

prepaid, at least 4 days before the meeting. 3. The notice must specify the time, place and purpose of the meeting. If all of the members of the board are present at a special meeting, lack of notice

does not invalidate the proceedings. 4. When there is in any county, township or precinct office no officer authorized

to execute the duties of that office, and it is necessary that a temporary appointment

be made to fill the office, as otherwise provided by law, the board of county commissioners

shall forthwith hold a special meeting for that purpose. The meeting may be held by unanimous consent of the board, or, if for any cause unanimous

consent cannot be obtained, then the chair or any other member of the board having

knowledge of the necessity shall forthwith call the special meeting and notify the

other members of the meeting. The meeting must be held as soon as practicable, but not less than 3 days, except

by unanimous consent, after actual notice to all members of the board, whereupon a

majority of the board shall proceed to act upon the appointment as provided by law. 5. The board shall also meet after each general election to canvass election returns

in the manner provided by law.
