Where any Ordinance confers a power or imposes a duty upon a body or number of
persons consisting of or being not less than 3, such power may be exercised or duty
performed in the name of that body or number of persons by a majority of those
persons.
(2)
Whenever such body or number of persons is assembled, the chairman or other
member presiding shall have a casting as well as a deliberative vote, in all matters
in which a decision is taken by vote by whatever name such vote may be
called.

The exercise of any power vested in such body or number of persons may be
signified either by the chairman or other person presiding at the meeting or other
deliberation at which such power was exercised or at which, as the case may be,
authority to exercise it was conferred, or by any person from time to time
authorized by such body or persons to signify the exercise of such
power.
