20.—(1) A harbour authority shall hold a meeting (in this Act referred to as an annual meeting) on the second Thursday in the month of October in every year.
|
|
| |
(2) Where an annual meeting cannot conveniently be held by a harbour authority on the second Thursday in the month of October in any particular year, the Minister may authorise the holding of the meeting on such day as he thinks proper not being later than twenty-one days after the said second Thursday, and the meeting may accordingly be held on the day so authorised.
|
|
| |
(3) In addition to annual meetings, a harbour authority shall hold such and so many meetings as may be necessary for the exercise and performance of their powers and duties.
|
|
| |
(4) The chairman of a harbour authority may at any time call a meeting of the harbour authority.
|
|
| |
(5) If the chairman of a harbour authority refuses to call a meeting of the harbour authority after a requisition for that purpose, signed by three members of the harbour authority, has been presented to him, any three members of the harbour authority may forthwith, on that refusal, call a meeting of the harbour authority, and, if the chairman (without so refusing) does not, within seven days after the presentation of the requisition, call a meeting of the harbour authority, any three members of the harbour authority may, on the expiration of those seven days, call a meeting of the harbour authority.

|
| |
(6) Three clear days at least before a meeting of a harbour authority, notice of the time and place of the intended meeting, signed by the chairman or an officer of the harbour authority authorised by them in that behalf, or, if the meeting is called by members of the harbour authority, by those members, shall be fixed on the principal office of the harbour authority and, if the meeting is called by members of the harbour authority, the notice shall specify the business proposed to be transacted thereat.

(7) Three clear days at least before a meeting of a harbour authority, a summons to attend the meeting, specifying the business proposed to be transacted thereat, and signed by an officer of the harbour authority authorised by them in that behalf, shall be left at or sent by post to the usual place of abode of every member of the harbour authority, but failure so to leave or send such notice for or to a member or some of the members of the harbour authority shall not affect the validity of the meeting.
