The Clerk of Council shall provide minutes of each meeting of the Commission to the members of the City Council.
(b) No action shall be taken or decision made by the Commission except by the vote of at least three (3) of its members, and any action taken by the Commission shall not become effective or final for ten (10) days from the date of such action.
