501—1.8 (80B) Emergency action. In the event of an emergency requiring prompt action by the council, the director may, with the approval of the chairperson, telephonically poll members of the council concerning the needed action. The vote of each member should be recorded and the agreement of a majority of voting members shall constitute official action by the council. Such action must be ratified at the next scheduled meeting of the council and the minutes reflect the nature of the emergency.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 80B.13(2).
