NAY 191987 BOOK `,4 GE *191 that she proposed this amendment because of the problem that arose when they did not have a quorum. Commissioner Wheeler commented that as long as we are changing the original resolution, he did not see a need for the Vice Chairman of the County Commission to be named specifically to serve as chairman of the Transportation Planning Committee; he did not see why any one of the Commissioners couldn't serve as chairman of that board the same as they do with other groups. Commissioner Bowman noted that this is a key committee and as such it historically has fallen to the Vice Chairman. In the following discussion, it was noted that this is mainly tradition and history, and the only Board where we don't have the ability to change its make-up is the South County Fire District Advisory Board which was established by referendum. Commissioner Bird pointed out that we normally would change the Vice Chairman annually; however, it is possible we might want a chairman who was doing a particularly good job to stay with this committee longer, and, therefore, he did not think we should limit it to the Vice Chairman. In discussion, this was generally agreed upon, but it was not felt there should be any alternate for the Chairman. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed to amend the proposed Resolution to state that "A member" of the Board of County Commissioners will serve as the Chairman, instead of naming the Vice Chairman. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved Resolu- tion 87-46 amending Resolution 81-81 by providing alternates for the voting representatives of the Trans- portation Planning Committee and by providing that a member of the County Commission will serve as chairman. 74
