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