It further states that the cities within the eight county area must select the three representatives and that one representative ha's to come from a city with a population less than 20,000; one from a City with a population of more than 50,000; and from a City vith a population of between 20,000 to 50,000. The eight county area primarily contains the entire areas of San Joaquin, Stanislaus. Merced, Madera, King, Kern, Fresno and Tulare Counties. 0m January 10, 1992, the Executive Boards of each League of California Cities' District were invited to attend a meeting in Merced. At thut meeting, a seleetian praeasg Uld adeptAd by tha Executive Boards of each District. A dra,,e i n,3 was conducted to decide what region would be represented by what. size city. The Northern Region, subject to ratification by the general membership of each division, oas designated as San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. By drawing, this region was chosen to be represented by a mediu— size city for the first term. • RIPON 0 RIVERBANK There are four medium size cities in the Northern region. They are Manteca, Tracy, Ceres and Turlock. At the Central Valley Division • SONORA Executive Board meeting in Stockton on January 3, 1992, it was voted to desiqnate Blair Bradley of Ceres as the ;nedium size city STOCK TON representative. Howexler, it is intended to ratify this at the general membership meeting in Hughson on January 30th. • TRACY • TURLOCK • M.ATFRFORI) It is planned to conduct an election as well, one vote for erect, city in attendance, on January 30th_ It is recognized that cities will be in attendance from Merced County and perhaps, Madera county. These cities, tentatively at this time, will not be in the Northern Region if the action taken at the joint meeting of both District's Executive Boards is ratified. The cities from these counties will be in the Central Region. The cities of Sonora and Angels Camp are currently not in the SJVUAPCD, therefore, they vill be the only cities to be excluded from the meeting. Ballots will be handed out at the Hughson meeting. In addition, a full review and explanation of the legislation and selection process vill be provided. In addition, an alternate mINItsi will be elected. This member must come from a medium size city from within the district.
