Every municipal agency shall hold regular meetings
at the times and places fixed by its rules. Regular meetings shall
be scheduled not less than once a month and shall be held as scheduled
unless canceled for lack of applications for development to process.
Special meetings may be provided for at the
call of the Chairman or on the request of any two members, and the
same shall be held on notice to the members and the public in accordance
with legal requirements.
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 Law, P.L. 1975, c. 231.[1] An executive session for the purpose of discussing and
studying any matters to come before the agency shall not be deemed
a regular or special meeting within the meaning of the Municipal Land
Use Law.[2]
[Amended 10-7-1985 by Ord. No. 85-32]
No action, except adjournments, shall be taken at any meeting without a quorum being present. All actions shall be taken by majority vote of the members present at such meeting, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. Failure of a motion to receive the number of votes required to approve an application for development, pursuant to the exceptional vote requirements of § 126-19A(4)(a)[4] or 126-130, shall be deemed an action denying the application.
Minutes of every regular or special meeting
shall be kept and shall include the names of the persons appearing
and addressing the municipal agency and the persons appearing by attorney,
the action 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 administrative officer. Any interested party shall have the right
to compel production of the minutes for use as evidence in any legal
proceedings concerning the subject matter of such minutes, and such
party may be charged a reasonable fee for reproduction of the minutes
for his use.
