Meetings of board of commissioners - Time; presiding officer; quorum; record of proceedings.
The board shall hold regular public meetings on Tuesday of each and every week at some regular hour to be fixed by the board from time to time and publicly announced by it, and it may hold such adjourned meetings as may be necessary or convenient. The president of the board, when present, shall preside at all meetings, but shall have no veto power. A majority of the commissioners shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any and all business to be done by the board and for the exercise of any and every power conferred upon it. The affirmative vote of a majority of the commissioners shall be necessary and sufficient for the passage of any resolution or ordinance, for the transaction of any business of any sort by the board and for the exercise of any of the powers conferred upon the board by the terms of this article or that may hereafter be conferred upon it by law. This provision shall not be construed to prevent the board from delegating or assigning to one or more of its members, or to such boards, agencies, authorities, officers or employees as may be created or selected by it, the performance of such executive or judicial duties and powers as are vested by this article in the board, and as may be necessary or convenient, provided the same is done by resolution or ordinance duly enacted according to the terms of this article where not otherwise provided.
A record of the proceedings of every such meeting, including every resolution and ordinance passed by the board, shall be kept in a well-bound book and such record must be signed by at least two commissioners before any action taken shall be effective. The record shall be kept available for inspection by all citizens of the municipality at all reasonable times.
