The composition of the San Francisco City and County members are as follows: The Mayor and one other elective officer or member of the Mayor's staff of the City and County appointed by the Mayor; two representatives of the City and County appointed by the Board of Supervisors, and a fifth representative to be appointed alternately by the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors, with two‐year appointments beginning in years evenly divisible by four to be made by the Mayor and with two‐year appointments made in even‐numbered years not evenly divisible by four to be made by the Board of Supervisors. Appointments shall become effective on July 1.
The association is organized for the purposes of establishing a permanent forum for discussion and study of regional and subregional problems of interest and concern to the counties and cities of the San Francisco Bay Area, developing policies and actions, and providing services and undertaking actions addressing such problems.
