A simple majority of the membership shall constitute a quorum and may conduct any items of business brought before the Board. All meetings of the ZBA shall be open to the public. The ZBA may declare any meeting, or part of any meeting, a study meeting to pursue matters of business without comment or interruption from the public in attendance.
(B) Records. Minutes shall be recorded of all proceedings which shall contain evidence and dates relevant to every case considered together with the votes of the members and the final disposition of each case. Such minutes shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk and shall be public records.
(C) Rules of procedure. The ZBA shall adopt its own rules of procedure as may be necessary to conduct its meetings and carry out its function.
(D) Majority vote. The concurring vote of a majority of the membership of the ZBA shall be necessary to decide upon any issue brought before the Board. For example, if three members are present, out of a total of five members, all three must concur to pass a motion.
