requirements.
[Ord. No. 2015-20 § 10B-27]
All regular and special meetings shall be open to the public,
and notice thereof shall be given in accordance with the requirements
of the Open Public Meetings Act, P.L. 1975, c. 231. An executive session
for the purpose of discussing and studying any matters to come before
either Board shall not be deemed a regular or special meeting in accordance

shall be deemed an action denying the application.

Members of a municipal agency who were absent for one or more
of the meetings at which a hearing was held shall be eligible to vote
on the matter upon which the hearing was conducted, notwithstanding

that such members have available to them the transcript or recording
of all of the hearings from which they were absent and certify in
writing to the agency that they have read such transcript or listened
to such recording.
[Ord. No. 2015-20 § 10B-30]
Minutes of every regular or special meeting shall be kept and

taken by the agency, the findings, if any, made by it and the reasons
therefor. The minutes shall thereafter be made available for public
inspection during normal business hours at the office of the Planning
Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, and shall
be posted on the municipal website.
