| Commissions are required by City Charter to meet at regularly scheduled times at least twice a month. The time of meetings is set for the convenience of the commission, staff, and clientele of the commission. The Board of Public Works generally meets at 9:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for an average of two to three hours. Except for unusual circumstances, commissioners are expected to be present for all regular meetings and to be fully knowledgeable about the reports to be discussed.
Three members of the usual five-member commission constitute a quorum for conducting business. To take an action, three affirmative votes are required regardless of the number of commissioners present. The actions of the commission must be published in the minutes of the commission, which are available for inspection. Any actions not shown in the minutes are without effect.
The City Charter requires that each commission elect a president and one vice-president. The elections for these offices must be held in the last week of July of each year.
