Bill > AB652

This bill modifies the composition and governance of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District's governing board by making several key changes. It expands the eligibility for city selection committee members, allowing them to be either a mayor or city council member from their respective supervisorial district, instead of the previous more restrictive requirements. The bill authorizes each appointing authority to designate an alternate member who can vote and receive compensation when the regular member is absent or disqualified, provided the alternate meets the same qualifications as the regular member. Additionally, the bill introduces a new process for term length, requiring the governing board clerk to conduct a random drawing in the first 2029 board meeting to select two city selection committee members and two public members to serve a two-year term. The bill also removes the previous restriction that the liaison to the United States Armed Forces must be a board of supervisors member, instead requiring that the liaison be appointed after consultation with the United States Armed Forces. These changes aim to provide more flexibility in board representation, ensure continuity of governance, and maintain effective communication with military entities while preserving the board's focus on air pollution control and public health.
