Sec. 1260.147  Procedure.

    (a) At a properly convened meeting of the Board, a majority of the 
members shall constitute a quorum, and any action of the Board at such a 
meeting shall require the concurring votes of at least a majority of 
those present at such meeting. The Board shall establish rules 
concerning timely notice of meetings.
    (b) When in the opinion of the chairperson of the Board emergency 
action is considered necessary, and in lieu of a properly convened 
meeting, the Board may take action upon the concurring votes of a 
majority of its members by mail, telephone, or telegraph, but any such 
action by telephone shall be confirmed promptly in writing. In the event 
that such action is taken, all members must be notified and provided the 
opportunity to vote. Any action so taken shall have the same force as 
though such action had been taken at a regular or special meeting of the 
Board.
