(a) At the beginning of each regular or special meeting, the chair shall determine whether or not a quorum exists in order to properly transact business of the board. Unless otherwise provided by another city ordinance, the city charter, or state law, a quorum exists when there are physically present a simple majority of the number of members officially appointed to the board, regardless of the total number of members actually provided for the board, except that no board required to be composed of 15 or more members may have a quorum of fewer than six members. If a quorum does not exist 30 minutes after the time for which the meeting was called, the chair shall adjourn the meeting and may call a special meeting in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, as amended.
(b) For purposes of calculating attendance, special meetings will not be counted. (Ord. Nos. 14180; 20488; 23123; 30555)
