Quorums with vacancies

We have a nine member municipal board. There are currently two vacancies to the Board from members resigning. What constitutes a quorum if the Board meets?

Four, so long as your bylaws or applicable law do not provide otherwise. So far as RONR is concerned, the quorum is a majority of the current members.

I agree with Josh, but if this is a public body, I urge you to check carefully your municipal charter, state law, and the board's own rules governing the board.  It has been my experience that a law or rule of some sort outside of RONR usually controls in those situations.  Whereas in most private organizations, a quorum is based on the actual number of members, with public bodies the quorum is often based on the entire authorized membership of the body.
