Subject to the foregoing, the CCCB procedures may be modified by the CCCB as necessary to facilitate the Board’s activities.

The CCCB is an uncompensated 13-person board with members appointed by the Mayor to terms of three years. The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs provides the CCCB with administrative and staff support.
