§ 225-i. Trustee meetings. 1. Meetings of the trustees of an incorporated free Methodist church shall be called by giving at least forty-eight hours' notice thereof personally or by mail to all the trustees, and such notice may be given by the pastor, the secretary of the board of trustees or by any two of the trustees, but by the unanimous consent of the trustees a meeting may be held without previous notice thereof. The pastor may preside at a trustee meeting and in his absence the senior trustee in service, or some member, the board of trustees elects for that purpose, shall be chairman. A majority of the whole number of trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting lawfully convened.
2. The effect of a tie vote creating a deadlock shall be to carry the question involved (with all pending questions appertaining thereto) over to the next sitting or meeting of the board. In case of such a deadlock extending beyond three successive sittings or meetings of the board of trustees, the whole matter involved shall be settled in a meeting of the corporate society.
