2)Eliminate the concept of city groupings selecting their representative(s) through a rotation process.   Each of the city groups will “select” their representative(s) to serve as a Director on the VTA Board; 3)VTA Directors will still serve two-year terms.   However, the appointing authorities will be encouraged to reappoint representatives to consecutive terms; and 4) Include a process for selecting VTA Directors within the city groupings.  VTA Directors should have the required experience and qualification in transportation.  (Lawson)
