  • All hearings of the board shall be open to the public. The board shall designate a clerk to keep minutes of its proceedings, showing the vote of each member upon each question, and the absence or failure of any member to vote, and a copy of the minutes shall be maintained on file for public record in the office of the town clerk. The concurring vote of four-fifths of the board shall be necessary to grant a variance. A majority of the members shall be required to decide any other quasi-judicial matter or to determine an appeal made in the nature of certiorari. For the purposes of this section, vacant positions on the board and members who are disqualified from voting on a quasi-judicial matter shall not be considered members of the board for calculation of the requisite majority if there are no qualified alternates available to take the place of such members.
