RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE

(attached as Exhibit A) in 1972 and amended in 1978, 1993 and 1994, by the Cities of Fort
Bragg, Point Arena, Willits and Ukiah, and the County of Mendocino to serve as the Regional
Transportation Planning Agency and other regional purposes; and

• MCOG's Board of Directors proposes expanding eligibility for the countywide representative, so
as to preclude any future difficulty in filling the position; and

agreement, and in order for such an amendment to take effect, it must be approved by resolutions
adopted by the respective legislative bodies of each of the parties to this agreement; and
• Upon full execution of an amendment, MCOG shall prepare and file a notice of amendment with
the California Secretary of State in accord with California Government Code Section 6503.5;
therefore, be it

plus one public appointee to serve as members of the MCOG Board of Directors. In
selecting the public appointee, the Boazd of Supervisors shall give first preference to
