                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DECISIONS OF COMMISSION (§ 33.2-2604)

A majority of the Commission, which majority shall include at least a majority
of the total of chief elected officers and elected officials who represent the
counties and cities embraced by the Commission, or their designees pursuant to
§ 33.2-2602, shall constitute a quorum. Decisions of the Commission shall
require a quorum and shall be in accordance with voting procedures established
by the Commission. In all cases, decisions of the Commission shall require the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Commission, or their
designees, present and voting, and two-thirds of the total of chief elected
officers and elected officials who represent the counties and cities embraced by
Planning District 23, or their designees, who are present and voting and whose
counties and cities include at least two-thirds of the population embraced by
the Commission; however, no motion to fund a specific facility or service shall
fail because of this population criterion if such facility or service is not
located or to be located or provided or to be provided within the county or city
whose chief elected officer&#8217;s or elected official&#8217;s, or its
respective designee&#8217;s, sole negative vote caused the facility or service
to fail to meet the population criterion. The population of counties and cities
embraced by the Commission shall be the population as determined by the most
recently preceding decennial census, except that on July 1 of the fifth year
following such census, the population of each county and city shall be adjusted,
based on population estimates made by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public
Service of the University of Virginia.
