Duties of the board.
(1) The board must review any new rules and regulations proposed by the program and make recommendations regarding their adoption. Also, the board may review existing FAS rules and recommend revisions.
(2) The board may advise the program on administrative procedures, organizational plans, and rules for improving the operation of the program.
(3) Board members should provide their respective stakeholder groups with information about program proposals, issues, and changes. Members should also provide the program with feedback from stakeholders and provide insight as to their opinions, attitudes, and needs.
(4) The board will neither function as a board of appeals nor will it render decisions regarding the application or interpretation of any adopted rule or regulation.
(5) At any board meeting, the board must consider any written proposals made by any person regarding new rules and regulations or changes in administrative procedures related to the program.
These written proposals must be submitted to the board's secretary at least 15 days prior to the meeting so that they can be included on the meeting agenda and in the meeting packet distributed to board members. If the parties submitting these proposals wish to address them at that meeting, their proposals must be accompanied by a written request to address the board.
