The community advisory committee shall meet on a regular basis. The <br />community advisory committee shall include one member representing each local <br />jurisdiction in which a water transit terminal exists or is proposed, and one <br />member representing each special district providing public water transit services. <br />Unless appointed under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) subdivision (a) of <br />Section 66540.2, the members shall be appointed by the county board of <br />supervisors and the city council of each county or c in which a water transit <br />terminal is located or is proposed to be located, with one member appointed by <br />the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transit District. <br />The architectural design criteria and standards for terminals shall be developed <br />in cooperation with the community advisory committee and in consultation with <br />local jurisdictions that are prospective hosts of terminals for the water transit <br />system. <br />(over, please) <br />
