§ 1.3-303. Organization and Rules of Procedure.

 (a)  On the first Monday of January in each year, the Board shall meet and organize by electing a chairman or chairwoman and a vice-chairman or vice-chairwoman from its membership, who shall hold such offices at the pleasure of the Board. The chairman or chairwoman, or in the event of his or her absence the vice-chairman or vice-chairwoman, shall preside at all meetings of the Board. They shall, in all questions before the Board, have and may exercise their rights to which they are entitled as a Board member. If a majority of the Board shall not attend the organization meeting of the Board, those present may adjourn the meeting to such time as they may determine. The members who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum as fixed in §  1.3-306, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose only of electing the officers of the Board. If a quorum be present at any organization meeting, the Board may transact any other business it may deem necessary. If the first Monday of January is a legal holiday, the meeting and organization shall take place the next day following.

 (b)  The Board may appoint from among its members any committees and officers of the Board who shall perform duties and functions established by the Board, not inconsistent with other provisions of this Charter. The Board shall adopt rules necessary for its organization, procedure, meetings, and committees.
