(2) The records of the State Bank Department shall affirmatively reflect the time and manner in which the meeting was called and notice thereof given.

(2) In this event, the unanimous action of three (3) of the members who were so served with notice shall be the action of the board.
(3) This rule shall also be applicable in situations in which, under subsection (g) of this section, the board is permitted to act informally without a fixed meeting.
(e) The board may also hold regular meetings on dates fixed in its procedures, policies, and rules.
(f)

(2) Applications submitted to the board according to this procedure must be filed with the commissioner for at least three (3) days prior to submission to the board with no protest's having been filed.
(3) Where the application is thus submitted, the written approval or disapproval endorsed upon the application, or a copy thereof, and transmitted to the commissioner by at least four (4) members of the board shall represent the action of the board.
