(d) Initial and subsequent appointments to the district
board by the individual boards of county commissioners shall
require approval of the majority of the governing bodies
of the cities and towns located within or partially within
the county.
(2) Upon their appointment, the directors shall meet,
qualify, and elect by an affirmative vote of eleven, a
taxpaying elector of the district who shall be known as
the at -large director. The term of office of the at -large
director shall expire on July 1, 1973."
The Council of Governments stands ready to assist this new district in
every possible manner. As the Council's members constitute 93% of the
population of the District, and as transportation planning has long been
an integral part of our total program, the effect on the metropolitan
area and the Regional Council will be notable.
We request that your County forward the names of the newly appointed
directors to the DRCOG office. Following the receipt of all of the
names, we shall contact you and the new directors concerning the
organizational meeting of the Board.
We are hopeful that DRCOG's assistance will aid in making this a meaningful
effort in metropolitandevelnrment. If we can be of assistance in defining
the requirements or impact of the new law, please do not hesitate to call
the staff lawyer, Mr. Thomas Benson, or me.
Cordially yours,
t
. K. Smith
Executive Director
