Revision History
  1. Except in cases expressly indicated in the law, the votes of the council are decisive and not merely consultative.
  2. In more urgent cases, when more members cannot be present, it suffices that two councillors and the president be present. For the council's decisions to be valid, the number of councillors must reach at least three, counting the chairman of the council.
  3. The syndic shall always be called to take part in council deliberations without, however, having a vote unless he is already a member of the council.
  4. Other officials of the convent shall be called to the council to be heard when the matters pertaining to their duties are to be dealt with.
