§ 76709 Council Nonvoting Agency Representatives

Key Takeaways

  • •Some people on the council don't get to vote.
  • •These non-voting members come from specific groups like the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
  • •The secretary picks who these non-voting members are.

Example

Imagine a school club where some members can't vote on decisions.

In this law, certain people on the council are like those club members—they can be part of the group and share ideas, but they don’t get to vote. They represent places like the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the secretary chooses them.
