. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority consists of 14 members, as follows:
(a) Five members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
If the number of members of the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors is increased, the authority shall, within 60 days of the
increase, submit a plan to the Legislature for revising the
composition of the authority.
(b) The Mayor of the City of Los Angeles.
(c) Two public members and one member of the City Council of the
City of Los Angeles appointed by the Mayor of the City of Los
Angeles.
(d) Four members, each of whom shall be a mayor or a member of a
city council, appointed by the Los Angeles County City Selection
Committee. For purposes of the selection of these four members, the
County of Los Angeles, excluding the City of Los Angeles, shall be
divided into the following four sectors:
(1) The North County/San Fernando Valley sector.
(2) The Southwest Corridor sector.
(3) The San Gabriel Valley sector.
(4) The Southeast Long Beach sector.
The League of California Cities, Los Angeles County Division,
shall define the sectors. Every city within a sector shall be
entitled to vote to nominate one or more candidates from that sector
for consideration for appointment by the Los Angeles County City
Selection Committee. A city's vote shall be weighted in the same
proportion that its population bears to the total population of all
cities within the sector.
The members appointed pursuant to this subdivision shall be
appointed by the Los Angeles County City Selection Committee upon an
affirmative vote of its members which represent a majority of the
population of all cities within the county, excluding the City of Los
Angeles.
The members selected by the city selection committee shall serve
four-year terms with no limitation on the number of terms that may be
served by any individual. The city selection committee may shorten
the initial four-year term for one or more of the members for the
purpose of ensuring that the members will serve staggered terms.
(e) If the population of the City of Los Angeles, at any time,
becomes less than 35 percent of the combined population of all cities
in the county, the position of one of the two public members
appointed pursuant to subdivision (c), as determined by the Mayor of
the City of Los Angeles by lot, shall be vacated, and the vacant
position shall be filled by appointment by the city selection
committee pursuant to subdivision (d) from a city not represented by
any other member appointed pursuant to subdivision (d).
(f) One nonvoting member appointed by the Governor.
