(A) Representation of the Board of Directors by any individual Board member before any legislative body, commission or agency of any state, county, municipality or other public entity shall occur only after the approval of or appointment to the same by the President of the Board or by action of the Board of Directors.
(B) Individual members of the Board shall not interfere with the daily work routine of any District employee unless authorized by the General Manager or the Board of Directors.
(C) Individual members of the Board of Directors who recommend changes or offer suggestions as to the operation of the District treatment plant facility shall do so only through the General Manager.
(D) Individual members of the Board shall not use District letterhead stationary, materials, supplies or staff time when corresponding with other public agencies or members of the public unless the Board of Directors consents to the opinion or statement made in the correspondence.
(E) Board members shall not, either individually or collectively, be involved in the consultant selection process outside of a public Board meeting.
(1) Adjournments. The legislative body may adjourn any regular, adjourned regular, special or adjourned special meeting to a time and place specified in the order of adjournment. Less than a quorum may adjourn such meetings and, if all members are absent, the Clerk or Secretary of the legislative body may declare the meeting adjourned. Written notice of the adjournment must be provided in the same manner as notice for special meetings. A copy of the order or notice of adjournment must be conspicuously posted on or near the door of the place where the meeting was held within 24 hours of the adjournment. When a regular or adjourned regular meeting is adjourned, the resulting adjourned meeting is a regular meeting for all purposes. If the order of adjournment fails to state a specific hours for the next meeting, the meeting must be held at the hour designated for regular meetings.
(2) Special meetings. Special meetings are meetings called by the presiding officer or a majority of the legislative body and may be held at any time subject to a 24-hour notice requirement. Such written notice must be delivered to each member of the legislative body (unless waived, in writing, by that member) and to each local newspaper of general circulation, and to each radio and television station that has requested such notice in writing. Only the business set forth in the notice may be considered at the meeting.
