Commission Meetings

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the conditions for a commission meeting. (1) The meetings shall be conducted in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order. (2) The chairman shall preside over each meeting of the commission. The commission shall elect officers from its membership as it determines, including vice-chairman and secretary. (3) Minutes of each meeting, open or closed, including special meetings, shall be prepared in written form and shall be subject to the approval of the commission. (4) The commission may delegate to the chairman of the commission the limited authority to extend any existing license for up to sixty (60) days without a prior vote of the commission. Any action taken by the chairman pursuant to such delegation of authority shall have the full force and effect of a majority vote of the commission, but must be ratified by a subsequent majority vote of the commission at the next public meeting. If such action is not ratified by the commission as provided herein, such action shall be cancelled, withdrawn, or rescinded as of the date of the public commission meeting at which the ratification failed. Such delegation of commission authority to the chairman shall expire twelve (12) months after its adoption by a majority of the commission, unless rescinded or renewed by the commission prior to its expiration.
