All powers, privileges and duties vested in or imposed upon the district shall be exercised and performed by and through a board of directors; provided, however, that the exercise of any and all executive, administrative, and ministerial power may be delegated and redelegated by the board of directors to any of the offices and officers created pursuant to this part or created by the board of directors acting pursuant to this part.

The board of directors shall consist of 11 members appointed as follows:

Five by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles, who, in the discretion of such board of supervisors, may or may not be members of such board of supervisors, but each of whom shall be a resident of a different supervisorial district.

Two by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, subject to confirmation by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles, who may or may not be members of such city council, but each of whom shall be a resident of such city.

Four by

the city selection committee, each of whom, in the discretion of such committee, may or may not be a member of the city selection committee, but who shall be an elected city official, shall be a resident of a different city, and shall not be a resident of the City of Los Angeles. The city selection committee shall adopt rules and regulations grouping or combining the areas of the cities within the district, except the City of Los Angeles, into four corridors based on existing or proposed transit lines. The rules and regulations shall provide that the member of the board to be selected by a subcommittee of the city selection committee shall be a resident of the corridor represented by the subcommittee. The terms of office of these four members of the board shall be for four years. On and after January 1, 1977, any appointment to the board shall be made by a subcommittee of the committee, which subcommittee shall include only members representing those cities within the corridor that the previous director

represented. The appointment of a subcommittee shall be deemed approved by the city selection committee unless rejected by a two-thirds vote of the committee within 30 days of the appointment. If the appointment is so rejected, the subcommittee shall make another appointment.

Notwithstanding Section 30201, if a director appointed by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles is a member of the city council of that city, confirmation by the city council is not required. If a director appointed by the mayor is not a member of the city council, the person appointed may serve for 60 days without confirmation.

At its first regular meeting after the effective date of this part, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles shall appoint as members of the first board of directors of the district the number to be appointed by it under Section 30201.

At its first regular meeting after the effective date of this part, the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, subject to confirmation by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles, shall appoint as members of the first board of directors of the district the number to be appointed by it under Section 30201.

Each member of the board of directors appointed by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles, shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing body. Each member of the board of directors appointed by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, subject to confirmation by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles, may be removed at any time thereafter by following the same procedure used for appointment. If he is a member of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles or the City Council of the City of Los Angeles and his term of office as a member of such bodies terminates, a vacancy is automatically created in his office as a member of the board of

directors. If he is not a member of such bodies his term of office shall terminate at the end of his term as director.

Each director appointed by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles shall be appointed by resolution, and each director appointed by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, subject to confirmation by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles, shall be confirmed by resolution, and certified copies of the resolutions, together with notices of appointments made thereby, shall be forwarded without delay to the secretary of the district and to the County Clerk of Los Angeles County.

Any vacancy in the members of the board of directors appointed by the County of Los Angeles or by the City of Los Angeles shall be filled by appointment in the same manner as the appointment was made to the office in which the vacancy exists, in the manner provided in this part.

A city selection committee shall be established which shall consist of one member representing each city within the district as described in Section 30100, except the City of Los Angeles. Each member of the city selection committee shall serve without compensation from the district and shall be designated and appointed by and be a member of the governing body of the city they represent. As a member of the city selection committee, each member shall be entitled to vote on all motions coming before the committee or subcommittee thereof of which that member is a member, and shall be entitled to cast one vote for each 10,000, or major fractional part thereof, of population in the city represented by the member as shown by the latest population estimate prepared by the Demographic Research Unit of the Department of

Finance pursuant to Section 2227 of the Revenue and Taxation Code; provided, that each member shall have at least one vote and no city shall have votes exceeding in number the total number of votes of all the other cities represented on the committee. For the purposes of this section, the term “major fractional part” means a fractional part larger than one-half.

On or before the second Monday which is not a holiday following the effective date of this part, the governing body of each city within the district, except the City of Los Angeles, shall appoint from among its members, to serve as members of the city selection committee, the number of members of the city selection committee to be appointed by it under Section 30207.

Each member of the city selection committee shall serve at the pleasure of the governing body of the city by which he was appointed. If his term of office as a member of such appointing body terminates, a vacancy is automatically created in his office as a member of the city selection committee, and also as a member of the board of directors, if he is so serving.

Each member of the city selection committee shall be appointed by a resolution adopted by the governing body of the appointing body. Certified copies of all resolutions of appointment, together with notices of appointment made thereby, shall be forwarded without delay to the secretary of the district.

Any vacancy in the city selection committee shall be filled by appointment by the body which originally made the appointment to the office in which the vacancy exists, in the manner provided in this part.

No person serving as a member of the city selection committee shall be eligible for appointment to any salaried office or employment in the service of the district nor shall he become eligible for such appointment within one (1) year after he has ceased to be a member of the city selection committee; provided, however, that, as provided in this part, members of the city selection committee may serve as directors of the district.

The county auditor shall furnish the necessary certificates as to assessed valuation to enable the city selection committee to function.

All meetings of the city selection committee shall be conducted pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act, Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code.

The presence of members of the city selection committee representing more than fifty (50) percent of the total number of votes of all the members of the city selection committee shall constitute a quorum.

The affirmative votes of members representing more than fifty (50) percent of the total number of votes of all the members of the city selection committee shall be necessary and, except as otherwise provided in this part, shall be sufficient to carry any motion coming before the city selection committee.

Within ten (10) days after the Secretary of State has received certified copies of the resolutions appointing a majority of the city selection committee, he shall call the first meeting of the city selection committee to be held not less than twenty (20) days thereafter at an appropriate time and place. The meeting shall be held in any city within the district designated by the Secretary of State, and may be adjourned from time to time or to a different place as determined by a majority of the total number of votes of all members present whether there be a quorum or less than a quorum.

The city selection committee shall appoint from its members a chairman and such other officers as may be necessary. Until a chairman is appointed, the Secretary of State, or his deputy, shall act as chairman.
