. (a) The membership of the governing board of each county
district shall include (1) one or more members who are mayors, city
council members, or both, and (2) one or more members who are county
supervisors.
(b) The number of those members and their composition shall be
determined jointly by the county and the cities within the district,
and shall be approved by the county, and by a majority of the cities
that contain a majority of the population in the incorporated area of
the district.
(c) The governing board shall reflect, to the extent feasible and
practicable, the geographic diversity of the district and the
variation of population between the cities in the district.
(d) (1) The members of the governing board who are mayors or city
council members shall be selected by the city selection committee.
When selecting a member of the governing board, the city selection
committee may also select a mayor or another city council member as
an alternate to serve and vote in place of the member who is absent
or disqualified from participating.
(2) In districts where the county and the cities have agreed that
each city shall be represented on the governing board, each city
shall select its own representative to the governing board. When
selecting a member of the governing board, each city may also select
its mayor or another city council member as an alternate to serve and
vote in place of the member who is absent or is disqualified from
participating.
(3) The members of the governing board who are county supervisors
shall be selected by the county.
(e) This section does not apply to any district in which the
population of the incorporated area of the county is 35 percent or
less of the total county population, as determined by the district on
June 30, 1994, or to a county district having a population of more
than 2,500,000 as of June 30, 1990.
(f) If a district fails to comply with subdivisions (a) and (b),
the membership of the governing board shall be determined as follows:
(1) In districts in which the population in the incorporated areas
represents between 36 and 50 percent of the total county population,
one-third of the members of the governing board shall be mayors or
city council members, and two-thirds shall be county supervisors.
(2) In districts in which the population in the incorporated areas
represents more than 50 percent of the total county population,
one-half of the members of the governing board shall be mayors or
city council members, and one-half shall be county supervisors.
(3) The number of those members shall be determined as provided in
subdivision (b), and the members shall be selected pursuant to
subdivision (d).
(4) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), if any number that is
not a whole number results from the application of the term
"one-third," "one-half," or "two-thirds," the number of county
supervisors shall be increased to the nearest integer, and the number
of mayors or city council members decreased to the nearest integer.
