(2) A question is decided by a majority of the votes of the members present and voting but, if the votes are equal, the member presiding has a deciding vote. (3) However, if only 2 members are present at the meeting, and they differ on a question arising at the meeting, the question must be deferred until the next meeting at which more than 2 members are present.
