Governor, unless the Mayor of San Francisco elects to exercise that
authority, as specified, 2 directors be appointed by the Governor,
unless the Mayor of Daly City elects to exercise that authority, as
specified, and 5 directors be appointed by the Governor. Once those
appointments have been made, when there is a vacancy on the board, a

predecessor.   the 1-A District Agricultural

not a public entity, to submit to the City and County of San
Francisco, the City of Daly City, and the San Mateo County Manager a
complete and detailed written description of the proposed event,
including a specified risk assessment. The bill would require the
association to include in the contract with the exhibitor, or as an
addendum to a contract, a provision requiring the exhibitor to assume
all financial liability for the event. The bill would also require
that the exhibitor reimburse the jurisdictions surrounding the
facility for the actual costs of emergency services incurred as a
result of or   caused by the event held at the facility. The
bill would also require the association to enforce this bill by
requiring a sufficient security bond or other guarantees from the
exhibitor that are acceptable to the jurisdictions surrounding the
facility and the board of the association.
