(a) The board shall meet at least once each month as scheduled by the board and otherwise upon the call of the chairman. It shall keep a record of its proceedings, which is a public record. A majority of all the members of the board constitutes a quorum with the power to transact business.

(b) At each monthly meeting the board shall send to the treasurer of the city or town a list of all persons entitled to payment from the fund, stating the amount and purpose of the payments. The list shall be certified to and signed by the chairman and secretary of the board, attested under oath, and shall be filed by the treasurer in his office as a permanent record. The treasurer of the city or town shall then make out a regular city voucher for each of the persons named in the list, or a city voucher in the manner payrolls are handled in cities with the commission form of government, for the amounts specified, showing the purpose for which it is granted. The vouchers, without further individual certification, shall be approved by the governing body for payment from the available funds of the pension fund at the next meeting at which vouchers are handled. The vouchers shall be paid in the same manner in which other claims against the city or town are paid.
