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).
