(3) Each winter feeding advisory committee established pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall appoint a chairman. The chairmen of the committees shall meet at least annually to coordinate activities and promote consensus on issues of common interest among the winter feeding advisory committees. The chairmen may elect a leader from among the chairmen to call meetings and conduct and coordinate activities of the group.
(4) The department of fish and game shall provide staff assistance and support for the committees.
(5) The committees shall have the authority to:
(a) Act as an independent resource in each district to give advice and recommendations on the administration of winter feeding programs;
