Subd. 3. Meetings. The regular meetings of an authority shall be held in a fixed place, except that meetings of a multicounty authority may be held anywhere within the boundaries of the area of operation of the authority or within any additional area where the authority is authorized to undertake a project, and shall be open to the public.
Subd. 4. Expenses; compensation. Each commissioner may receive necessary expenses, including traveling expenses, incurred in the performance of duties.
