A quorum must be present for the Board to take any action.

(b) When a Board Member is disqualified from participating in a decision under the contribution disclosure statute (Gov. Code, § 15626), or the Political Reform Act (Gov. Code, § 81000, et seq.), or the ex parte communications rules (Gov. Code, § 11430.10, et seq.), that Board Member is not counted for purposes of a quorum.

(c) If a deputy designated by the Controller pursuant to Government Code section 7.6 or 7.9 (as interpreted by the Attorney General) is not authorized to participate in a decision because the matter before the Board is a constitutional matter, the deputy is not counted for purposes of a quorum.
