§ 105042 Board Voting Requirements

• •A simple majority (more than half) decides what the board does.
• •The majority vote is enough to pass any order, resolution, or ordinance.
• •Only if another law says otherwise would a different rule apply.

A city park board wants to approve a new playground. There are 9 board members, and 5 vote to approve it.

Because 5 out of 9 is a majority, the playground plan can go ahead, since the rule says a majority vote is enough unless another law says otherwise.
