(a) Except as provided in section 4.3(g) of this
chapter, the board shall elect, at its first regular meeting to be
conducted on the first July 1 or January 1 after appointment of the
board members, and annually thereafter, one (1) of its members
president, and another of its members vice president, who performs the
duties of the president during the absence of or disability of the
president. The board shall keep a suitable office at the airport where its
maps, plans, documents, records, and accounts shall be kept, subject to
public inspection at all reasonable times.
(b) The board shall provide by rule for regular meetings to be held
not less than at monthly intervals throughout the year.
(c) The board shall convene in a special meeting when one is called.
The president or a majority of the members of the board may call a
special meeting. The board shall establish by rule a procedure for
calling special meetings.
(d) Regular or special meetings shall be held at the office of the
board or at another public place in any county where the board owns or
operates an airport. The board may adjourn any regular or special
meeting to a specific day designated at the time of adjournment, and
that meeting is a continuation of the meeting so adjourned. This
subsection does not apply to an authority that was established under IC 19-6-3 (before its repeal on April 1, 1980).
(e) A majority of the members of the board constitutes a quorum for
a meeting. The board may act officially by an affirmative vote of a
majority of those present at the meeting at which the action is taken.
(f) The board shall keep a written record of its proceedings, which
shall be available for public inspection in the office of the board. The
board shall record the aye and nay tally of the vote for each ordinance
or resolution.
(g) The board shall adopt a system of rules of procedure under
which its meetings are to be held. The board may suspend the rules of
procedure by unanimous vote of the members of the board who are
present at the meeting. The board may not suspend the rules of
procedure beyond the duration of the meeting at which the suspension
of rules occurs.
(h) The board may supervise its internal affairs as do local
legislative and administrative bodies.
