BOARD BYLAWS ARTICLE III. BOARD COMMITTEES

Section 1. General.
Committees of the Board shall be established via appointment by the chair, via a majority vote and resolution of the Board, and may be Standing or ad hoc. Standing committees are subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act provisions.  Ad hoc committees are not subject to Brown Act requirements but shall provide reports back to the Board in open and public meetings.
Standing committee membership shall be elected or appointed at will at the January regular Board meeting, or as otherwise needed for ad hoc committees. Two directors shall be appointed to each Standing committee, one of whom shall be the committee chair, and both of whom shall be a voting member. Any Director not appointed to a Standing committee may serve as an alternate to that Standing committee. Regular meeting agendas of Standing committees shall be developed and posted on the District website. All committees shall be advisory to the Board, except as otherwise expressly specified by the Board.

If committee members are absent from two consecutive meetings of that committee, the Board may replace such an absentee member by appointing another Board member via majority vote to serve on the committee. Every Standing committee shall keep action minutes of each of its meetings, and every committee shall report to the Board periodically concerning its activities.

The Board may, by majority vote, appoint a temporary Committee Member to serve during the absence of a regular committee member.

Any member of a committee may be removed at any time by the Chair, subject to the consent of the Board.
