Each member county board of supervisors shall <br />also appoint an alternate director who shall have the authority to attend, participate in and vote at any <br />meeting of the Board when the director is absent. A director or alternate director shall be a county <br />supervisor, other county official, or staff person of the member county, and upon termination of office or <br />employment with the county, shall automatically terminate membership or alternate membership on the <br />Board. <br /> b) Ten directors consisting of seven directors and three alternate directors chosen <br />in the manner specified in the Bylaws from those participating as public entity members. A director or <br />alternate public entity director shall be an official, or staff person of the public entity member, and upon <br />termination of office or employment with the public entity, shall automatically terminate membership or <br />alternate membership on the Board. <br /> c) Member county directors shall consist of a minimum of 80% of the eligible voting <br />members on the Board. The public entity member directors shall be reduced accordingly to ensure at <br />least 80% of the Board consists of county director members (By way of example, if the number of county <br />members is reduced from the current 54 by member withdrawals to a level of 28, then county members <br />would be at the 80% level, 28/35. If the county members go to 27, then the public entity members would <br />lose one seat and would only have 6 votes). <br /> Any vacancy in a county director or alternate director position shall be filled by the appointing <br />county's board of supervisors, subject to the Provisions of this Article. Any vacancy in a public entity <br />director position shall be filled by vote of the public entity members.
