Director.
. Subd. 2. Notice to Commissioners. The Executive Director
shall send written notice to all commissioners of the time, place
and purpose of a special meeting, except an emergency meeting, at
least three ( 3 ) days before the meeting.
Subd. 3 . Notice to Public. For all special meetings, except

A person filing a request for notice of special meetings may limit
the request to notification of meetings concerning particular
subjects, in which case written notice as provided below need be
given to that person concerning special meetings involving those
subjects only. Each written request shall expire December 31 of

SECTION 2. EMERGENCY MEETINGS.
Subd. 1 . An "emergency" meeting is a special meeting called

protection of the public peace, health or safety.
Subd. 2. Notice. Mailed notice to commissioners is not
required for an emergency meeting. Posted public notice is not
required for an emergency meeting. After notice of an emergency
meeting has been given to the commissioners by telephone or any
other method, the Executive Director shall make good faith efforts
to provide notice of an emergency meeting by telephone or by any
other method used to notify the members of the Commission to each
news medium which has filed a written request for such notice
pursuant to Section 1 . , Subd. 4, provided such request includes the
