(a)

Any special meeting of the town board may be called by the chairperson or two members of the town board in writing, with the written call for the special meeting of the town board filed with the town clerk-treasurer at least 24 hours prior to the proposed special meeting of the town board with the time specified in the written call for the special meeting.

(b)

The town clerk-treasurer, upon receipt of the written call for the special meeting of the town board, shall immediately notify, in writing, each member of the town board by delivering the written notice or by having the written notice delivered personally to each member of the town board. If any member of the town board cannot be personally notified in writing, then the town clerk-treasurer shall deliver or have delivered a copy of the written notice at the home of any such member of the town board in the presence of an adult member of the family of the town board member. If any member of the town board cannot be noticed in writing through an adult family member as noted above, then the town clerk-treasurer shall post such special meeting written notice in the above-noted three usual and customary locations.

(c)

The town clerk-treasurer shall file proof of service of such special meeting notice by filing an affidavit noting the time, place and location of authorized service of the special meeting notice upon the town board. If personal service upon any member of the town board was not completed, then the town clerk-treasurer shall so state in the affidavit the type of service or written notice completed.

(d)

Special meetings of the town board may be held without such service and notice when all members of the town board are present in person or consent in writing to holding of any special meeting of the town board. Any consent by any member of the town board shall be filed by the town clerk-treasurer prior to the beginning of any special meeting of the town board.

(e)

Special meetings of the town board, attended by a quorum of the members, shall be considered a regular meeting of the town board for the transaction of any town business that may come before the town board, if such regular town business was so noted in the written notice to the public as required by Wis. Stats. § 19.84.
