(b) The board of governors shall have the power to make the bylaws, rules, and regulations for the government of the authority and the operation, management, and maintenance of the project as it may determine appropriate. (c) A majority of the number of members of the board then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the members of the board present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the board unless the vote of a greater number is required by law or by the bylaws of the board of governors. (d) If the bylaws of the authority so provide, the board of governors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board of governors, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each consisting of two or more members of the board and each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution or the bylaws of the authority, shall have and may exercise such authority as the board of governors may delegate to it. Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws of the authority, any such committee shall act by a majority of its members.
