The Air Quality Governing Board is comprised of five members: Four of the members are elected officials that are appointed by the respective Board of Supervisors, and one member is a city representative who is selected by a committee comprised of mayors of the incorporated cities that are within the North Coast Unified Air District. The Board establishes policy, enacts new rules, and approves the annual budget. The District Board also appoints the Air Pollution Control Officer and District Hearing Board. Board Meeting dates are posted on the Board Meeting Calendar. Current information and historical records of Governing Board Meetings are also available.
