Regular meetings of the board shall be held monthly on a uniform day of a uniform week as shall be determined by the board except that by and with the prior approval of the director monthly meetings may be suspended and meetings may be held quarterly. Such regular meetings shall be held at a time and place to be fixed by the board. The board shall send a certified true copy of their order fixing the official location of their office, and the time and place of their regular meetings to the department of water resources and to any agency of the United States with whom the district is cooperating.

Special meetings and adjourned meetings of the board may be called by the chairman, vice-chairman or secretary, or any quorum of the board, and may be held at any time. If the time and place of such special meeting shall not have been determined at a meeting of the board with all members being present, then notice of the time and place of such special, or adjourned meeting, shall be given each member of the board not less than three (3) days before such special meeting is to be convened; unless such notice is waived in writing, signed by all of the members of the board present and voting at such special or adjourned meeting, and the signed waiver made a part of the minutes of such meeting.

A quorum for the transaction of business of the board shall consist of a majority of the members of the board. Unless otherwise provided by law, all questions shall be determined by a majority of the vote cast. The chairman may vote in all cases, and, in the event he elects not to vote and in the case of a tie, then he must cast the deciding vote.

All meetings, regular, special and adjourned, of the board, are declared to be public meetings open to the public. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any board from holding executive sessions from which the public may be excluded; provided that no rules, regulations, or any other official action, of any kind or character, shall be adopted at such executive sessions.
