Wilson,Schatz,


Director Riordan indicated he still supported the bill inSacramento which would lessen the number of directors to 9 and,to a great extent, take politics out of Board business. Itwould also include tightening of ethics guidelines andeliminate alternates except when principals are not present.

Director Antonovich expressed his opinion that alternates allowthe private sector and the cities to have a voice, and the 12month tern allows the independent cities to have theiropportunity to chair the organization.

Director Schatz spoke in favor of the Mayor's position on anappointed Board without alternates, adding that the McKenziereport indicated that a review of major transit systemsnationwide only found two other boards with alternates orelected officials.
