As Chairman of the Committee, he absolutely has the power to initiate the cap penalties (someone has to initiate them, they dont come to fruition otherwise). He doesnt have the power to authorize and execute them without the vote of the other owners. Plus, why would an owner say no when the league was dangling extra cap space in front of them for a yes vote? Not like that could be construed as buying a vote...
