§ 46. Validation of Authority meetings
- (a) When any of the requirements as to notice or warning of a special Authority meeting

vote at a special meeting of the Authority called and duly warned for that purpose. (b) The question to be voted upon shall substantially be: “Shall the action taken at the
meeting of the Authority held on (state date), in spite of the fact that (state the
error or omission), and any act or action of the Authority officers or agents pursuant
thereto be readopted, ratified, or confirmed?” (c)(1) Errors or omissions in the conduct of any prior special meeting that are not the result
of an unlawful notice or warning or noncompliance within the scope of the warning
may be cured by a resolution of the Board by a vote of at least two-thirds of all
the votes entitled to be cast at a regular meeting or a special meeting called for
that purpose, stating that a defect was the result of an oversight, inadvertence,
or mistake. (2) When an error or omission has been corrected by resolution, all business within the
terms of the action of the qualified voters shall be as valid as if the requirements
had been in compliance initially on the condition that the original action by the
Board was otherwise in compliance with the legal exercise of its corporate powers. (Added 2013, No. M-17 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. May 20, 2014.)
