Special meetings of the board may be called by the chairman or any two (2) members of the board upon oral or written notice to all members at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance. Each notice of a special meeting shall state the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof. Notice may be waived by any member, orally or in writing, before, at or after such special meeting; and the presence of any member at any such special meeting shall constitute a waiver of any defect of notice, unless such member shall cause it to appear of record that his attendance is only for the purpose of objecting to any deficiency in the notice or the time or manner of giving the same.
(2) A majority of the members of the board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a smaller number may adjourn from time to time, and may compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as the authority may previously have provided for, according to its bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum shall be necessary for the adoption of any motion, measure or resolution. Passage of any motion, measure or resolution may be by voice vote, provided:
(a) At the request of any member the yea and nay votes shall be recorded upon call of the roll, and
(b) Such record shall be made in all proceedings involving any adjustment of rates and charges for use of the services and facilities of the mass transportation system of the authority, authorization of proceedings to acquire property through exercise of the power of eminent domain, the issuance of revenue bonds or mortgage bonds of the authority, a request that general obligation bonds be issued by any public body for the benefit of the authority, or approval and authorization of any lease agreement wherein the authority is the lessor and a public body or public bodies (or any combination thereof) may be the lessee or lessees, as provided in this chapter.
