[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of
the Town of Stratford as Secs. 2-6 and 2-8 of the 1963 Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
[Amended 8-11-1969; 2-14-2022 by Ord. No. 21-11]
The Town Council shall meet monthly, on the
second Monday evening of each month, at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council
Chamber, except during the month of December in odd-numbered years,
when the meeting will be held at 8:00 p.m., each such meeting being
known as a regular meeting of the Town Council. Whenever such second
Monday of the month shall fall upon a legal holiday, such meeting
shall be held on the next succeeding day at the time and place provided
in this section. Such regular meetings may be adjourned upon a vote
of a majority of the members present, provided that such adjournment
is not less than two calendar days thereafter, and notice in writing
of such adjourned meeting shall be given by the Town Clerk to all
members of the Town Council not present at the time of adjournment.
The presence of at least six members of the
Town Council shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller
number may adjourn from time to time.
[Added 9-12-1994]
So long as the Town of Stratford remains a signatory
to the Memorandum of Understanding for Economic Planning and Development
in the Greater Bridgeport Economic Development Region, neither the
Chairman of the Council, nor his designee, shall be empowered to take
any action as a representative to the Metropolitan Planning Organization
which has the effect of either committing the Town financially to
any project under consideration by the Metropolitan Planning Organization
or of approving the location within the Town of Stratford of any project
under consideration by the Metropolitan Planning Organization, without
the express authorization of a 2/3 majority of the whole of the Town
Council. In any case, the matter may, upon the affirmative vote of
a simple majority of the whole of the Council, be submitted to the
electors of the Town as a referendum.
