1. That § 12, as amended, and § 100 of Chapter 34 of the Acts of Assembly of 1918 are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 12. Meetings of council.
On the first day of July next following the regular municipal
election, or if such day be Saturday or Sunday, then on the following Tuesday,
the council shall meet at the usual place for holding meetings of the
legislative body of the city, at which time the newly elected council members
shall assume the duties of their office. The time for any such meeting shall be
set by ordinance adopted by council not less than thirty nor more than
forty-five days prior to the election. Thereafter the council shall meet at
such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution. It shall hold at
least one regular meeting each week, provided that it may, by the affirmative
vote of a majority of its members, dispense with any twelve 16 such
regular meetings in any calendar year. The mayor, any member of the council, or
the city manager, may call special meetings of the council at any time upon at
least twelve hours' written notice to each member, served personally or left at
his usual place of business or residence; or such meeting may be held at any
time without notice, provided all members of the council attend. All meetings
of the council shall be public except where closed pursuant to the provisions
of general law, and any citizen may have access to the minutes and records
thereof at all reasonable times.
§ 100. Sale of public property.
The rights of the city of Norfolk in and to its water-front,
wharf property, public landings, wharves, docks, streets, avenues, parks,
bridges and other public places and its gas, water, electric and other works
shall not be sold except by an ordinance passed by a recorded affirmative vote
of four-fifths three-fourths of
all the members elected to the council and under such other restrictions as may
be imposed by law.
