adopting the regulations and to be removable by the appointing

authority for cause, upon written charges and after public hearing.

(3) The concurring vote of a majority of the members of the

agency, or to decide in favor of the applicant on any matter upon

which it is required to pass under the airport zoning regulations,

or to effect any variation in such regulations.

(4) The Board shall adopt rules in accordance with the

provisions of the ordinance or resolution by which it was created.

Meetings of the Board shall be held at the call of the chairman and

his absence, the acting chairman, may administer oaths and compel

the attendance of witnesses. All hearings of the Board shall be

subject to the Open Meeting Act. The Board shall keep minutes of

its proceedings, showing the vote of each member upon each question,

or, if absent or failing to vote, indicating such fact, and shall

keep records of its examinations and other official actions, all of

which shall immediately be filed in the office of the Board and

shall be a public record.
