RE: Additional MPO Voting Members
Dear Mayor Perlman:
Following the 2000 Census, the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO),
in cooperation with the Governor, is reviewing its membership. The membership
currently consists of five County Commissioners, two elected officials each from Boca
Raton and West Palm Beach, one elected official each from Delray Beach, Boynton
Beach, Lake Worth, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter and Belle Glade, one
elected Port of Palm Beach Commissioner, and one statutorily authorized planning board
member appointed by the County Commission for a total of 18 members.
Chapter 339.175, Florida Statutes, establishes a maximum of 19 members for the MPO.
The MPO Board has approved a Reapportionment Plan that will expand the total
membership to the maximum number. The Village of Wellington would be added to the
MPO Board. In addition, the Town of Grccnacres and the Village of Royal Palm Beach
would annually alternate membership in the seat currently designated for the planning
board member.
This Plan will be submitted to the Govemor for approval with documentation which
includes supporting resolutions from the MPO Board member agencies. Attached is a
sample resolution for your consideration. The adopted resolution should be forwarded to
the MPO office.
Following approval of the Reapportionment Plan by the Governor, the MPO will
distribute an interlocal Agreement to all member agencies for approval and execution.
When all parties have executed the Agreement, the new members will be seated on the
expanded MPO.
