House Committee on Local Government
Senate Committee on Government Operations, Tribal Relations & Elections
Background:
State law authorizes any area of the state containing two or more cities, at least one of which has a population of 10,000 or more, to create a metropolitan municipal corporation to perform one or more of the following functions: metropolitan water pollution abatement; metropolitan water supply; metropolitan public transportation; metropolitan garbage disposal; metropolitan parks and parkways; and metropolitan comprehensive planning. The legislative body of a municipal corporation is a metropolitan council (council).
The council of a metropolitan corporation charged with performing water pollution abatement must form a metropolitan water pollution abatement advisory committee (advisory committee) to advise the council in matters related to the performance of the water pollution abatement function. Membership on the advisory committee must include an appointee from each component city and county that operates a sewer system and a member of the board of commissioners of each water-sewer district that operates a sewer system, any part of which lies within the metropolitan area.
Summary:
The advisory committee of a metropolitan municipal corporation may include members appointed by the boards of commissioners of qualifying water-sewer districts in the metropolitan area who are not commissioners of those districts.
