Special meetings of the board may be assembled by either one of the two methods outlined as follows: Special meetings may be called by the chair pro tempore of the board or the Governor by written notice mailed to each trustee at least 10 days in advance of the date of the meeting; and a special meeting shall be called by the chair pro tempore or the Governor upon application in writing of any three or more members of the board. No special meeting shall be held on a date less than 10 days subsequent to the date of the chair pro tempore's or the Governor's notice of the meeting, except in case of emergency, which the chair pro tempore or the Governor shall specify in his or her notice to the trustees.
