Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-113
Quorum; majority control
Operative Text
Five members of the Macomb Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing Commission shall constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of a majority of the appointed commission as a whole shall be sufficient for board action.
Section 13-113 of Macomb's Housing Code establishes the procedural threshold for the Macomb Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing Commission to conduct official business. Five members must be present to form a quorum, and any formal action requires agreement from a majority of the full appointed commission—not just those present at a given meeting. This rule ensures that decisions carry broad consensus rather than reflecting only a small subset of the body.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-113, the Macomb Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing Commission can only take binding action when at least five members are present and a majority of the entire appointed commission agrees. Property owners and managers who have matters before the Commission—such as complaints or hearings—should be aware that rulings and decisions are only valid when this quorum and majority threshold has been met. Tracking whether a properly constituted Commission issued any decision affecting a property is a standard part of compliance review.

Section 13-113 governs how the Macomb Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing Commission reaches official decisions, requiring both a quorum of five members and majority approval from the full appointed body. Tenants who have filed or are considering filing a fair housing complaint with the Commission can note that any ruling in their matter must have been issued under these procedural requirements. If there is a question about whether a Commission action was properly authorized, tenant-rights organizations familiar with local fair housing procedures may be a useful resource.
