sec.20 Procedure at meetings etc.

The chairperson of the board is to preside at all meetings at which the chairperson is present and, in the chairperson’s absence, the deputy chairperson of the board is to preside. When the deputy chairperson presides at a meeting, the deputy chairperson has all the functions and powers of the chairperson. A quorum of the board consists of 5 directors, of whom— 1 is to be the chairperson or deputy chairperson of the board; and 1 is to be a director appointed under section 13 (c) ; and 1 is to be a director appointed under section 13 (d) . Business is not to be conducted at a meeting of the board unless a quorum is present. Business at a meeting is decided by majority vote of the directors present and voting on the business in question. Business of the board decided by written reference to the directors of the board is to be decided by majority vote of the directors voting on the business in question in response to the reference. A director of the board who refrains from voting is taken to have cast a vote in the negative unless the director refrains because of a conflict of interest declared by the director. The person who presides at a meeting, or, if business of the board is decided by a written reference, the chairperson, has a deliberative vote and a casting vote. Subject to this Act, the board may conduct its business generally, and proceedings at its meetings, in such way as it determines from time to time. The board in respect of any matter being considered by it must have regard to anything placed before it, and any comments, by the general manager. s 20 amd 1994 No. 65 s 3 sch (sec.20-ssec.1) The chairperson of the board is to preside at all meetings at which the chairperson is present and, in the chairperson’s absence, the deputy chairperson of the board is to preside.
