(70 ILCS 1810/16) (from Ch. 19, par. 167)
Sec. 16.
Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at least once in each
calendar month, the time and place of such meeting to be fixed by the
Board. Five members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. All action of the Board shall be by ordinance or
resolution and the affirmative vote of at least five members shall be
necessary for the adoption of any ordinance or resolution. All such
ordinances and resolutions before taking effect shall be approved by the
chairman of the Board, and if he shall approve thereof he shall sign the
same, and such as he shall not approve he shall return to the Board with
his objections thereto in writing at the next regular meeting of the Board
occurring after the passage thereof. But in the case the chairman shall
fail to return any ordinance or resolution with his objections thereto by
the time aforesaid, he shall be deemed to have approved the same and it
shall take effect accordingly. Upon the return of any ordinance or
resolution by the chairman with his objections, the vote by which the same
was passed shall be reconsidered by the Board, and if upon such
reconsideration said ordinance or resolution is passed by the affirmative
vote of at least six members, it shall go into effect notwithstanding the
veto of the chairman. All ordinances, resolutions and all proceedings of
the District and all documents and records in its possession shall be
public records, and open to public inspection, except such documents and
records as shall be kept or prepared by the Board for use in negotiations,
action or proceedings to which the District is a party.
