adjourn a meeting from time -to -time until a quorum

able vote of the majority of the total number of
Agency Members.
In the event that one less than the necessary number
of 'aye' votes required to pass any motion or resolu-
tion has been cast (including any tie vote situation),
then any 'abstain' vote or votes shall constitute
concurrence and the Secretary shall set forth in the
minutes that the matter was passed pursuant to this
paragraph; provided, however, that this rule shall
