106.4Any such committee, to the extent permitted by the Act, shall have and may exercise such powers and authority to conduct investigations or recommend actions to the Board as shall be specified by resolution of the Board; provided that the principal functions of any such committees shall be to function as a liaison between the Board and the Authority’s staff, consultants or other third parties and to gather information for purposes of aiding the Board in its decision making.
