Attorney General Opinions



 



  An action of the board requires at least four concurring
votes, and in the absence of such concurrence the action would be considered
lost.  Att. Gen. Op. 80-1.



 



Case Notes



 



  Board's four-to-four tie vote did not constitute a
"decision by the trustees"; the tie vote neither authorized nor
affirmatively disavowed appeal.  87 H. 152, 952 P.2d 1215.
