The roles and responsibilities of the Yucaipa GSA were clarified in bylaws adopted in May 2018. The Yucaipa GSA is controlled by a governing board composed of one representative of each of the parties to the MOA. The officers of the governing board include a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. The officers and one alternate are chosen at the first regular meeting held each calendar year. The voting structure for matters pertaining to the establishment and implementation of the administrative components of the Yucaipa GSA are by simple majority (51%) of the voting parties, wherein each member agency holds a single vote. A majority of the board is considered a quorum for purposes of meeting and decision making.
