A majority of the members of the township legislative body constitute

deciding vote to break a tie.

executive shall serve by virtue of office as a member of the township
legislative body for the purpose of casting the deciding vote to break a
tie. However, the township executive may not vote to break a tie on the
adoption of an ordinance to increase the township executive's
compensation (as defined in section 10 of this chapter).
