  the chair and at such other times as the board may determine. The chair,
  or in his or her absence the vice-chair may administer oaths and  compel
  the attendance of witnesses. All hearings before the board shall be open
  to  the  public and shall be before at least three members of the board,
  and a concurring vote of at least three members shall be necessary to  a

  such records shall be public records.
