(2) Total the population of the remaining Member Agencies determined in step 1 and compute percentage of this total that each Member Agency has. (a) Multiply each percentage derived above by 60 to determine fractional shares. (b) Boost fractions that are less than one to one; add the whole numbers. (c) If the answer to step b. is 60, drop all fractions and the whole numbers are the votes for each Member Agency. (d) If the answer to step b. is less than 60, the remaining vote(s) is allocated one each to that Member Agency(s) having the highest fraction(s) excepting those whose vote was increased to one (1) in step b. above. . 5' Section 8 amended 10/74, 11/80 4 1(-- / tJf53 (e) If the answer to step b. is more than 60, the excess vote(s) is taken one each from the Member Agency(s) with the lowest fraction(s).

(d) If the answer to step a. is more than 100, the excess vote(s) is taken one each from that Member Agency(s) with the lowest fraction(s). In no case may a vote be reduced to less than one. c.
