Sec. 19. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at least once in
each calendar month, the time and place of such meetings to be fixed by
the Board. Four members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business. All action of the Board shall be by ordinance
or resolution and the affirmative vote of at least 4 members shall be necessary
for the adoption of any ordinance or resolution. All such ordinances and
resolutions before taking effect shall be approved by the chairman of the
Board, and if he approves thereof he shall sign the same, and such as he
does not approve he shall return to the Board with his objections thereto
in writing at the next regular meeting of the Board occurring after the
passage thereof. But in the case the chairman fails to return any ordinance
or resolution with his objections thereto by the time aforesaid, he shall
be deemed to have approved the same and it shall take effect accordingly.
Upon the return of any ordinance or resolution by the chairman with his
objections, the vote by which the same was passed shall be reconsidered
by the Board, and if upon such reconsideration said ordinance or resolution
is passed by the affirmative vote of at least 5 members, it shall go into
effect notwithstanding the veto of the chairman. All ordinances, resolutions
and all proceedings of the District and all documents and records in its
possession shall be public records, and open to public inspection, except
