two votes (one for the county and one for its municipalities).
Mr. Smith said a member of Centralina's executive board would be on the RPO
technical advisory committee; however, this individual would not be a voting member.
He said a meeting was scheduled on December 12, 2001, for the municipal and county
officials to continue in the drafting of an acceptable MOU.
Chairman Tice said she recently talked to Rowan County Manager Tim Russell.
She said the Rowan officials were interested in joining the RPO. Tice said Mr. Russell
had also indicated that if Rowan joined, it preferred to join initially, or during the
establishment of the RPO. Tice also mentioned that Margaret Kluttz, a DOT Board
member, resided in Rowan County. She asked if Mrs. Kluttz would have a vote if Rowan
County joined.
Mr. Smith said he would discuss Chairman Tice's information and questions with
DOT Board member Frank Johnson.
