Sec. 5. (a) At its first regular meeting in each year the commission shall elect from its members a chair, vice chair, secretary, and a treasurer, not more than two (2) of whom may be from the same county. If the region is divided into subregions under section 10 of this chapter, there must be at least one (1) officer from each subregion. The vice chair may act as chair during the absence or disability of the chair.
(b) The commission shall fix the time and place for holding regular meetings, but it shall meet at least quarterly and at such other times as may be established by the commission or the executive board. Special meetings of the commission may be called by the chair or by five (5) members of the commission upon written request to the secretary. The secretary shall send to all the members at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of a special meeting a written notice fixing the time and place of the meeting. Written notice of a special meeting is not required if the time of the special meeting has been fixed in a regular meeting, or if all the members are present at the special meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived by a member by a written waiver filed with the secretary.
(c) The commission shall adopt rules for the transaction of business and shall keep a record of its resolutions, transactions, findings, and determinations, which is a public record.
(d) A majority of members constitutes a quorum. An action of the commission is official, however, only if it is authorized by a majority of the commission at a regular or properly called special meeting with at least one (1) member from each county in the region present.
