After the appointment of all members, the full membership of the authority shall meet as soon as practicable and shall elect one of its members as chairman and one as vice-chairman, each of whom shall serve in such positions until the first meeting in January of the succeeding year and until their successors are elected. Thereafter, a chairman and a vice-chairman shall be elected in the same manner in January of each year to serve for the succeeding year and until their successors are elected. The chairman and vice-chairman when acting as chairman shall not be entitled to vote on matters before the authority except in the case of a tie vote. The chairman shall preside at meetings of the authority and the vice-chairman shall preside in his absence, and they shall have such other powers, duties, and responsibilities as are set out elsewhere in this Act and in the bylaws of the authority. The authority shall also designate a secretary to keep the minutes and records of the authority. A majority of the members of the authority shall constitute a quorum. A majority of the quorum may exercise any and all powers of the authority. The authority shall, as soon as practicable, adopt its own bylaws, rules of procedure, and rules of conduct of its business. The authority shall meet at least once every three months and at such other times as it may deem necessary."
