GUIDELINES FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS: Mr. Joel Mashburn requested the board to give staff
guidelines on the board's preferences for handling special resolutions. In the future any special
commemorative resolutions will not be placed on the agenda unless the person who submits the resolu-
tion is going to be available at the work session so the board can discuss the resolution.
PACKETS FOR THE MATERIAL THAT IS HANDED OUT AT THE MEETING: Mr. Mashburn said in the
future the staff would try to organize the material that is handed out so the board can be more
readily informed on agenda items.
CAROLINAS COALITION TRANSPORTATION COMPACT: Commissioner Stewart spoke about the compact's
consideration of changing the by-laws to allow the private sector to be represented on the compact.
Mr. Mashburn, County Manager, reported at the presenttime it is elected officials appointed from
each county who serve on this board. There are nine counties involved, with each county having two
appointees. Mecklenburg, Gaston, and York Counties have 1 additional member each, so that those
three counties have one-half of the votes.
Commissioner Stewart said she would feel more comfortable if the appointees remained elected
officials, especially since elected officials would have more reasonable input in reference to
funding. Each member of the compact was asked to present this question to their respective boards
and get approval or denial of the requested change.
It was the consensus of the board that the appointees should all be elected officials. Commis-
sioner Murdock said she would leave it up to Commissioner Stewart since she represents the board on
this committee.
