30310. In making their appointments pursuant to this division, the
Governor, the Senate Committee on Rules, and the Speaker of the

follows:
(a) (1) A person appointed by the Governor and qualified for
membership because he or she holds a specified office as a locally
elected official shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor.
However, the membership shall cease 60 days after his or her term of
office as a locally elected official ceases, or when a person has
been appointed to fill that position by the Governor, if that occurs
sooner.
(2) A person appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules or by the
Speaker of the Assembly and qualified for membership because he or
she holds a specified office as a locally elected official shall

appointee is authorized to sit and serve on the commission.
(2) A member appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules or the
Speaker of the Assembly shall serve for four years, and may be
reappointed for succeeding four-year periods, provided that the

sit and serve on the commission. If the Senate Committee on Rules or
the Speaker of the Assembly has not acted within 60 days after the
expiration of a member's term, the position shall become vacant until
a person is appointed to a four-year term, calculated from the
expiration date of the preceding term.

appropriate appointing authority of any expected vacancies on the
commission. If the expected vacancy is a person qualified for
membership because he or she holds a specified office as a locally

is expected to expire or has expired, then the appointing authority
shall notify the boards of supervisors and city selection committees
of each county within the affected region of the expected vacancy.
30314. Except as provided in this section, members or alternates of
the commission shall serve without compensation but shall be
reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties to the extent that reimbursement for
those expenses is not otherwise provided or payable by another public
agency or agencies, and shall receive fifty dollars ($50) for each
full day of attending meetings of the commission. In addition,
members or alternates of the commission shall receive twelve dollars
and fifty cents ($12.50) for each hour actually spent in preparation
for a commission meeting; provided, however, that for each meeting no
more than eight hours of preparation time shall be compensated as
provided herein.
An alternate shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement for
the necessary expenses incurred in participating in commission
meetings; provided, however, that only the member or his or her

the member and alternate prepare for, attend, and participate in any
portion of a commission meeting, only the alternate shall be entitled
to that payment and reimbursement.
For the purposes of this section, "full day of attending a meeting"
means presence at, and participation in, not less than 60 percent of

24-hour period.
30315. The commission shall meet at least once a month at a place

chairperson from among its members.
30317. The headquarters of the commission shall be in a coastal
county, but it may meet and may exercise any or all of its powers in
any part of the state. The commission may maintain regional offices,
if it finds that accessibility to, and participation by, the public
will be better served or that the provisions of this division can be
implemented more efficiently through the maintenance of those
offices.
30318. Nothing in this division shall preclude or prevent any
member or employee of the commission who is also an employee of

Southern California Association of Governments, or member of the San
Diego Comprehensive Planning Organization, and who has in that

of the commission. Nothing in this section shall exempt any such
member or employee of the commission from any other provision of this

development permit shall provide the commission with the names and
addresses of all persons who, for compensation, will be communicating
