Rule 16: Speaker convening extraordinary Council meetings

Rule 16 lets the Speaker convene an extraordinary Council meeting to conduct business outside the scheduled meetings. The minutes show it used to call a special meeting, for example to reconsider budget adjustment reports that did not pass at an ordinary meeting, and to act on a request for a meeting. The passages do not give the rule's exact text or any conditions, such as who may request a meeting or how much notice is needed, so those details are unclear.
