Practice question
A special session has eight members present and a lawful quorum. Its notice covers only drainage, but members propose unrelated traffic regulation. Five vote to add that subject. No other authority or waiver applies. Under Section 52(d), which is correct?
- Five always satisfies two-thirds of eight.
- The mayor’s attendance dispenses with the vote.
- Five is insufficient; at least six of the eight present must concur to consider the unnotified matter.
- One member always controls the agenda.
- Any special-session notice permanently bans all additional matters.
