§ 36-7-7-5 — Officers; meetings; notice; rules; record of proceedings; quorum

(a) At its first regular meeting in each year the
commission shall elect from its members a chair, vice chair, secretary,
and a treasurer, not more than two (2) of whom may be from the same
county. If the region is divided into subregions under section 10 of this
chapter, there must be at least one (1) officer from each subregion. The
vice chair may act as chair during the absence or disability of the chair.
(b) The commission shall fix the time and place for holding regular
meetings, but it shall meet at least quarterly and at such other times as
may be established by the commission or the executive board. Special
meetings of the commission may be called by the chair or by five (5)
members of the commission upon written request to the secretary. The
secretary shall send to all the members at least forty-eight (48) hours
in advance of a special meeting a written notice fixing the time and
place of the meeting. Written notice of a special meeting is not required
if the time of the special meeting has been fixed in a regular meeting,
or if all the members are present at the special meeting. Notice of any
meeting may be waived by a member by a written waiver filed with the
secretary.
(c) The commission shall adopt rules for the transaction of business
and shall keep a record of its resolutions, transactions, findings, and
determinations, which is a public record.
(d) A majority of members constitutes a quorum. An action of the
commission is official, however, only if it is authorized by a majority
of the commission at a regular or properly called special meeting with
at least one (1) member from each county in the region present.
