    §  65.  Permanent  housing  for homeless families site review advisory
  board. 1. There is hereby created the  permanent  housing  for  homeless
  families site review advisory board. The board will consist of the state
  commissioner of housing and community renewal, the state commissioner of
  social   services,   the  commissioner  of  the  department  of  housing
  preservation and development of the city, the commissioner/administrator
  of  the  human  resources  administration   of   the   city,   and   two
  representatives  of  organizations  involved  in  providing housing. The
  governor of the state and the mayor of the city shall each  appoint  one
  of  the aforementioned representatives to the board. Any action taken by
  the members shall require the affirmative vote  of  a  majority  of  the
  members.  Any  member  who is not appointed by the governor or mayor may
  select a designee from their respective departments  or  divisions.  Any
  such designees shall have the power to attend and to vote at any meeting
  of  the  board  from  which the member is absent with the same force and
  effect as if the member were present and voting. Such designation  shall
  be  by  written  notice  filed  with  the board. The designation of such
  person shall continue until revoked at any time by written notice to the
  board. Notwithstanding any  inconsistent  provisions  of  law,  general,
  special  or  local, no officer or employee of the state, or of any civil
  division thereof, or any public benefit corporation, shall be deemed  to
  have  forfeited  or  shall  forfeit  his  or her office or employment by
  reason of acceptance of membership on the board created by this section.
    2. In carrying out its duties under this article the board may request
  the assistance of appropriate city and state  agencies,  public  benefit
  corporations  and  public  authorities.  The  aforesaid agencies, public
  benefit corporations and public authorities are  authorized  to  provide
  such  assistance  within  their  respective  functions  as the board may
  require.
    3. Notwithstanding any other provision of  law,  the  board  shall  be
  authorized  to  let contracts in such manner as it deems appropriate and
  to  execute  all   instruments   as   necessary   to   carry   out   its
  responsibilities.  The board may contract with the agency to provide for
  the reasonable and necessary expenses of the board.
    4. Moneys in the permanent housing for homeless families fund may  not
  be used to pay for any administrative or other expenses of the agency or
  board, provided however, that moneys in such fund may be used to pay for
  eligible project costs.
