The affirmative vote of a majority of members present shall be required for passage of any matter before the board or commission. The minutes of each meeting shall reflect the “ayes” and “nays” cast on a particular measure and shall reflect the vote of each member present. A member may abstain from voting only upon a declaration that he or she has a conflict of interest, in which case such member shall take no part in the deliberations on the matter in question.
