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.

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 occurred 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.
