(b) The quorum is a majority of the currently appointed membership. (c) A committee may be required to participate in property site visits. Site visits must be performed by only current committee members and are permissible as long as any group of committee members does not contain a quorum of current members. In the event a site visit is necessary, a Standing Committee chair shall inform Town staff at least one week in advance of any visit. Town staff shall send the homeowner(s) a courtesy postcard notifying them that a site visit will be taking place within a defined time period. The postcard shall be sent a minimum of 72 hours in advance of any visit.
