Members of all boards and commissions of the Village, whether established by this Charter or by ordinance, shall be comprised of a majority of qualified electors of the Village at the time of their appointment and during their respective terms of office. Members of all municipal boards and commissions shall serve without compensation; provided, however, that the Council may provide for the payment of mileage and for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by such members in the performance of their duties.
A majority of all the members of each of the municipal boards and commissions shall constitute a quorum for meetings of such boards and commissions. A majority vote by the members of a board or commission present at a meeting is required for approval of any action or matter brought before the board or commission.
All meetings of each board and commission shall comply with all rules for notification of meetings to the public. All meetings of any board or commission at which a majority of its members are present shall be open to the public, but any board or commission may go into executive session for any reason permissible under Ohio law or as may be prescribed by ordinance. Meetings of any board of commission may be conducted by electronic, teleconference, web, or video means during a declared emergency, or as otherwise permitted by the Charter or under Ohio law.
Except as otherwise provided herein, specifically Section 5.03 governing the Board of Zoning Appeals, at the first meeting in each calendar year of municipal boards and commissions, each board or commission shall elect a chairperson and a secretary by a majority vote of all the members appointed thereto. The chairperson shall be a member of the respective body; but the secretary need not be a member of the board or commission and may hold other office or employment with the Village. The chairperson shall be the presiding officer at all meetings of the board or commission; and the secretary shall keep an accurate record of the proceedings of such board or commission.
