of Chapter 1 of Division 4 of Title 1 or any other provision of law,

board shall meet and elect a president and vice president.  The
governing board may create additional officers and elect members to

secretary and a treasurer-chief fiscal officer other than those

or motion.  A recorded vote by a majority of the total membership of

submitted to the authority more than two years previously, unless the
governing board determines that there is a need for its retention.
In determining whether there is a need for retaining a paper or
document, the governing board shall consider the effect of statutes
of limitation, future public need, and historical significance.
55874.  Members of the governing board shall not receive any
compensation for their service, including attending meetings of the

the authority for their necessary and actual expenses for traveling
to and from meetings of the governing board.
