The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the Members of the Board, designate one or more committees including standing committees; each such committee shall consist only of Members of the Board, which Members shall be appointed by the Chairperson of the Board.
The Board may remove any member of any committee at any time, with or without cause, and may designate one or more Members of the Board as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member of such committee at any meeting of the committee.
In the event that the Chairperson has not designated a committee chairperson, the committee shall appoint one of its own members as chairperson, who shall preside at all meetings and may also appoint a secretary (who need not be a member of the committee) who shall keep its records and who shall hold office at the pleasure of the committee.
Any such committee, to the extent permitted by the Act, shall have and may exercise such powers and authority to conduct investigations or recommend actions to the Board as shall be specified by resolution of the Board; provided that the principal functions of any such committees shall be to function as a liaison between the Board and the Authority's staff, consultants or other third parties and to gather information for purposes of aiding the Board in its decision making.
No committee shall have power or authority to:
Regular meetings of such committees may be held without notice of the time, place or purposes thereof and shall be held at such times and places as the committee may from time to time determine.
Special meetings of such committees may be held upon notice of the time, place and purposes thereof. Until otherwise ordered by the committee, special meetings shall be held at any time and place at the call of the Chairperson of the Board or chairperson of such committee.
At any regular or special meeting any such committee may exercise any or all of its powers, and any business which shall come before any regular or special meeting may be transacted there, provided a majority of the committee is present; but in every case the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the members of the committee shall be necessary to take any action.
Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and distribute a copy thereof to each of the Members of the Board and the Secretary of the Authority after each committee meeting.
Before the Board or any of its committees acts upon any request for the use of excess funds totaling more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) from the Washington Convention Center Marketing Fund, the Board shall afford the Washington Convention and Tourism Corporation an opportunity to review and comment upon the request.
