municipalities, and other major transportation providers, such as the Community Coach public transportation system and the County's three public airports, all of which have direct or indirect voting representation on the MPO Policy Board, the IRCSD does not have direct or indirect voting representation on the MPO Board. Although adding an IRCSD voting member to the MPO Board does not affect the population or percent distribution of the MPO's 1993 apportionment, it does require updating the MPO's original 1993 apportionment plan because it changes the structure of the MPO Board. This 1999 apportionment plan addresses the addition of an IRCSD voting member to the MPO Board and contains the information required in an apportionment plan by Chapter 339.175, F.S. Table 4 depicts the Policy Board structure established by the Indian River County MPO's 1999 apportionment plan. The 1999 plan differs from the 1993 plan by the addition of one voting member from the IRCSD. As a comparison of Table 4 and Table 3 indicates, providing the IRCSD with voting representation on the MPO Policy Board does not affect the population or percent distribution of the MPO's 1993 apportionment. This is because the IRCSD serves the entire County rather than a geographic subarea. Therefore, the geographic population and the percent representation served by the MPO Board's 1993 members will not change. In fact, the MPO Board will more accurately represent and reflect the major transportation providers in the County without reducing the representation of the current MPO Board members. 1999 Apportionment Plan Approval In accordance with Chapter 339.175, F.S. and FDOT policies and procedures, the MPO unanimously approved the 1999 apportionment plan at its regularly scheduled February 10, 1999 meeting. Once approved by the MPO, the 1999 apportionment plan was then accepted by resolution by four of the County's five municipalities as well as by the Board of County Commissioners and the IRCSD. The apportionment plan was subsequently transmitted to FDOT District Four, FDOT Central Office, and to the Governor's Office for review and final approval. 4
