indication of how the majori :v of =he participants preferred to see

issues. The function c= the Council would also include joint
problem solving between member agencies, advocacy, and
education and informat_on_

one vote. Alternates are allowed to vote, but must be elected
officials. Affirmative votes from a majority of all Regional
Council members are needed to pass a motion, i.e., eight votes
regardless of the number of members actually present.
- Staffing & Funding - The Regional Council would ultimately be
staffed by an Executive Director and other necessary staff.
Membership dues would be kept to a minimum. Dues would be
based on a split of representation and population with the
County paying approximately 29% of the determined dues amount
and the cities dividing the -remainder.
There were many alternative and minority preferences, other than
the majority preferences, presented at the workshop and these have
been included in the summary report. The Steering Committee is
requesting that each City Council and the Board of Supervisors
discuss the aforementioned issues and preferences and identify its
choice, taking into consideration the discussion that developed at
the workshop. Based on the input received, the Steering Committee
will draft an agreement and by -laws which will be circulated to
each jurisdiction for approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council make a decision on each of the above
referenced issues and direct the Mayor to send a letter to the
Steering Committee informing it of the Council's action.
