(A) The voting members of the Board of Appeals are the 5 citizen members.
(B) A majority vote of those members present shall be necessary to pass any item of business that is brought before the Board. Where only a quorum is present at any business meeting an affirmative vote of all 3 members is necessary to validate the passage of any motion or recommendation. Any motion which results in a tie vote shall become automatically an agenda item for the next regular business meeting or, if so required by ordinance, at a specially called meeting.
(C) The Chairperson is entitled to vote on all matters under consideration by the Board.
(D) No Board member shall participate in the discussion or vote on any matter in which he has a personal interest. Board members may inquire of other Board members as to whether a personal interest exists. Upon request, the City Law Director will render an opinion on whether the Board member should be excused on a particular appeal.
