Section 23.
A majority of the members of the council shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a less number may meet and adjourn from time to time and compel the attendance of absent members. A majority of the whole number of councilmen then legally remaining in office is a majority of the council or members thereof within the meaning of this act, and not otherwise, unless expressly so provided. The concurrence of a majority of a quorum is a sufficient majority to determine any question or matter other than the final passage of an ordinance, resolution, or the appointment or removal of an officer.
