Board Meetings

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the procedures for meetings of the board. (1) The chair or the chair’s designee shall preside over each meeting of the board. The board shall elect officers from its membership as it determines, including a chair, vicechair, secretary, and treasurer and form committees as it deems appropriate to handle designated functions of the board. (2) 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 board. (3) The board may vote to delegate to its chair limited authority to take certain actions without a prior vote of the board. Any action taken by the chair pursuant to such delegation of authority shall have the full force and effect of a majority vote of the board, but must be ratified by a subsequent majority vote of the board at the next public meeting. If such action is not ratified by the board as provided herein, such action shall be cancelled, withdrawn, or rescinded as of the date of the public board meeting at which the ratification failed. Such delegation of board authority to the chair shall expire twelve (12) months after its adoption by a majority of the board, unless rescinded or renewed by the board prior to its expiration.
