That way it's
directly from the
Yeah, so down here in the appointment, so in nine oh five what wait, hold on.
Yeah, yeah, nine oh five
where it talks about the appointments and it says twelve members appointed by the governing body of the largest municipality in the county that created that authority, which would be the city council, who's the governing body of the largest municipality in the county, the city of Charlotte.
At least three of these appointments must be made upon the recommendation of an entity that represents business interests in the county.
So we've already talked through that.
But uh obviously the appointment itself is made by the raising of the council's hand based on a recommendation.
At least one of the remaining nine appointments by the governing body must be an individual that has experience owning or operating a small business as identified or excuse me as defined in subdivision one of this subsection.
And then two members appoint and then it goes into the general assembly.
So what I'm talking about here is where it says twelve members appointed by the governing body with the business community, even though they have the recommendation.
The actual appointment is made by the governing body.
And so when I hear that we are saying that we want to allocate two
seats to be appointed by another body, i.e., the executive office, the mayor.
that feels like a departure from what's here.
And again, I I'm prepared to support, but I just am lifting up that this feels like a risk here.
I would say to that to and I spoke to this a little bit this morning, the difference to me with that is that our other governing boards or our other boards and commissions either having the bylaws of a nonprofit that you'll have this seat or we ourselves are deciding what the composition of that board is.
And so that to me is clearly within our authority to decide where those seats come from.
Um but it sits somewhere in a document, even on boards like um
the housing authority that have appointments from different bodies within their governing structure it says where those appointments come from and so that's totally fine.
