§ 7. Organization of meetings of council.

At eight o'clock post meridian on the first day in July following a regular municipal election, or if such day be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then on the day following, the council shall meet at the usual place for holding its meetings, at which time the newly elected mayor and councilmen, after first having taken the oaths prescribed by law, shall assume the duties of their offices. At its first meeting the council shall elect from its members a person to serve as vice-mayor for the following two years. Thereafter the council shall meet at such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution. The mayor or any three members of the council may call special meetings of the council at any time after giving at least twelve hours written notice to the other members of the purpose, place, and time of such special meeting. Special meetings may also be held at any time without notice, provided all members of the council attend.

A majority of all members shall constitute a quorum, but a smaller number may adjourn from time to time, and compel the attendance of absentees.

The council shall fix the compensation of its members and of all other officers and/or agents and employees of the town.
