districts. Commissioner Archer agreed, suggesting that the object of the adviso

Commissioner's district". The motion was seconded by Commissioner Archer and
carried unanimously 5/0.
The matter of whether or not alternate members are necessary was deliberated
briefly following which Commissioner Archer moved for tentative approval of the
optional wording in Subparagraph I.. Paragraph III. which states that "Unless

members at all". The motion was seconded by COl11llissioner Wimer and carried 3/2
