Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 29H-1.004 - Membership and Voting
(1) Each member
government shall be represented on the Regional Planning Council by a
representative which shall be an elected official of said member government and
shall be duly appointed by the governing body of said member government. Each
representative shall serve at the pleasure of the governing body of the member
unit of government.
(2)
(a) Additional representatives which shall
constitute no more than one-third of the voting representatives shall be
appointed by the Governor subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate, and
shall reside within the geographic area covered by the Regional Planning
Council. No two appointees of the Governor shall have their place of residence
in the same county until each county within the region is represented by a
Governor's appointee.
(b) Each
Governor's appointee shall serve at the pleasure of the
Governor.
(3) Any county
or municipality contained within or contiguous with the jurisdictional boundary
of a member of the Regional Planning Council may be admitted, by a majority
vote of the Regional Planning Council, to membership upon resolution of the
governing body joining the agreement establishing the Council by the county or
municipality requesting such membership.
(4)
(a) For
the general conduct of business, each member government shall have an equal
vote which shall be one vote for each representative, except as provided
below.
(b) Prior to a vote and upon
the call of three representatives, a weighted vote shall be taken by roll call.
The total weighted vote shall consist of the member governments' vote and the
Governor appointees' vote. The member governments' vote shall be two-thirds of
the total vote and shall be apportioned among the member government
representatives in the same proportion as the member governments' population
bears to the total population of the region; provided, however, that no portion
of the population shall be represented by more than one member
government.
(c) The Governor's
appointees' vote shall be one-third of the total vote and shall be apportioned
among the Governor's appointed representatives (in the same proportion as the
appointed representative's county of residence's population bears to the total
population of the region).
