in the commissioners thereof in office from time to time. Three (3)
commissioners shall constitute a quorum of such authority for the purpose
of conducting its business and exercising its powers and for all other

taken by the authority upon a vote of a majority of the commissioners
present, unless in any case the bylaws of the authority shall require a
larger number. Meetings of the commissioners of an authority may be held
anywhere within the perimeter boundaries of the area of operation of the

to undertake a project. Appointments may be made of any persons as
commissioners of the authority who reside within its boundaries or area,
