such resolution, the chairperson shall return it to the board with the
chairperson's written objections thereto at the next regular meeting of
the board occurring after the passage thereof. If the chairperson fails to
return any resolution with the objections thereto by the prescribed time,
the chairperson shall be deemed to have approved the same and it shall
take effect accordingly. Upon the return of any resolution by the chairperson

which the authority is a party.
