Bill > SB799

This bill modifies the governance and operational rules for the South Bay Regional Housing Trust, a joint powers authority established by Los Angeles County and South Bay cities to fund housing for homeless and low-income individuals and families. Key changes include requiring the joint powers agreement itself to define the number of directors and the process for appointing them and filling vacancies, rather than relying on the South Bay Cities Council of Governments. The bill also allows for the appointment of alternate board members, specifies that all directors and alternates must adhere to a conflict of interest code, and limits non-elected alternates to voting in no more than 75% of meetings annually. Additionally, the board will now elect its chairperson and vice chairperson at the first meeting of either the calendar or fiscal year, and the bill includes legislative findings declaring the necessity of this special statute for the South Bay region due to its unique housing crisis.
