A majority of the board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All action of the board shall be by resolution, and the affirmative vote of a majority of all the members shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution. No action by the board to which an express objection has been made, under this section, by a board member or members representing a county or counties having one-third or more of the population of the metropolitan area, as determined by the most recent decennial census, shall be carried unless supported at a subsequent regular meeting of the board by the votes of at least three-quarters of the membership of the board. In case of disagreement between members representing the same county, each member shall be deemed to represent one-half of the population of that county.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of the Sunshine Act, one or more persons may participate in a meeting of the board, or of any committee thereof, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, including, in the case of a meeting open to the public, all other persons present at the place of meeting designated by public notice. Participation by one or more members of the board in a meeting pursuant to this subsection shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
