(a) A Board of Review, consisting of the President of Council, the Law Director and one other member of Council, appointed by the Mayor, is hereby created. The term of office of the member appointed by the Mayor shall be one year and such appointment shall take effect on January 1, except that the first appointment shall be made by the Mayor and shall take effect immediately upon the effective date of this chapter, and except that the Mayor shall from time to time fill any vacancy which may occur and such interim appointment, which shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term, shall take effect when made.
(b) The Board shall select the President of Council to be its Chairman and the other member of Council shall be its Secretary. A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum and a majority vote of the quorum shall be necessary to act on any matter. No member shall abstain from voting unless he disqualifies himself from any discussion and counsel due to the possibility of a conflict of interest, in which case he shall not be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of the matter on which the vote is taken.
(c) The Board shall adopt its own procedural rules and shall keep a record of the transactions. Any hearing by the Board may be conducted privately and the provisions of Section 880.45 with reference to the confidential character of the information shall apply to such matters as may be heard before the Board on appeal.
