a FOLLOWING ARE SOME SUGGESTED INCLUSIONS IN THE NEW PLANNING COUNC L'S BY-LAWS Each member county should ha e a minimum of three representatives. Of these three members, one sho Ad be appointed by and be a member of the Board of County Commissione , the second member should be appointed by the Commission and could be n elected official from any city in the par- ticipating county, and the t ird should be a lay person. In addition to the above, each member county shall have an additional mem- ber for each unit of 100,000 population. This would give a council member- ship of three members fromach participating county, plus four additional members from Palm Beach Cou ty, making a total membership of sixteen. The council could meet quarterl and each year establish policy for the council, yearly programs, budget and the election of officers. The council should ratify any decisions -made b the Executive Committee. The council should also set rates of yearly assessment based on budget and yearly programs. Four officers should be ele ted from the council to serve as an Executive - Committee, with the Executi a Director of the council as a fifth member, having no -vote. No two officers should be from the same county, and any officer may succeed himself but fo nomore than a total of two years. The term of office for the Executive C mtiiittee could be for three-year staggered terms, with the initial year beinI drawn from a hat. The Executive Committee should meet monthly except at quarterly meetings, at which time the entire council will meet. We feel.that with this typ of setup, there is a workable council based on .population and will still live a fair representation of everyone concerned. We also feel that the coup it -meetings should be held in Stuart, which would be a central location. RMB: jm 7/15/76 DRAFT JUL 2 11976 \... 4, A Kok �� ,
