§ 103100 District Board Composition Rules

This law sets up a nine‑person board that runs the district and explains how each member is chosen.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board has exactly nine directors.
  • •Members are chosen from three different groups as described in the law.
  • •Appointments are made by specific government bodies: the board of supervisors, a city selection committee, and the six members already chosen.

Example

A homeowner wants to know who decides whether a new road can be built near their neighborhood.

The board that makes that decision includes three types of members: some are county supervisors with transportation expertise, some are city council members chosen by a city committee, and one must live in the coastal zone. Their different backgrounds help the board consider both transportation needs and local coastal concerns.
