This law outlines how the board of a certain authority is formed and who can become its members. The board has seven voting members, all of whom must be elected officials. These officials come from different regions around the San Francisco Bay Area, including the North, East, South, and West Bays. Certain members must be from specific counties like Marin or Santa Clara. The members are appointed by the Association of Bay Area Governments, and they serve at the discretion of the appointing body. If a position becomes vacant, it needs to be filled within 90 days.

This law states that the board members need to follow the rules set by the Political Reform Act of 1974, which governs the conduct and ethical standards of public officials.

Section 66703.2 requires that a member make decisions using their own judgment to benefit the residents, property owners, and the public in alignment with the goals of the title.

This law states that if you're a board member appointed under a specific rule, you can get paid for attending board meetings. However, the payment can't be more than $100 per meeting, and you can only be paid for up to two meetings each month. Also, you're allowed to choose not to receive this payment if you prefer.

This law states that the board must choose one of its members to be a vice chair. The vice chair will take over the chair's duties if the chair is not present.

This section defines the meeting rules for the board. The first meeting will take place at a time and location in the San Francisco Bay Area chosen by the board's chair. After that, the board will decide when and where to hold future meetings. All meetings must adhere to the rules outlined in the Ralph M. Brown Act, which focuses on open and public meetings.

This law mandates that within six months of their initial meeting, the board must set up a Bay Restoration Advisory Committee. This committee will help guide and advise the board on its duties. The committee will have regular meetings and should broadly represent various community and agency interests in restoring the San Francisco Bay's wetland areas and shores.

The committee may include representatives from state wildlife departments, park districts, water control boards, conservancies, and other local and federal agencies related to environmental conservation. It may also include NGOs focused on wetland restoration and public members from local bayside communities.

This law states that the board is in charge of making rules for the authority's operations. They can create these rules either through ordinances or resolutions. To conduct business, at least four voting members must be present, and any decision requires a majority vote of all voting members.
