A. Selection of Regional Commission Membership by Louisiana Emergency Response Network (LERN) Board
1. The process for selecting the regional
commission members is as follows:
a. the LERN
Board Chairman shall request in writing the name of a nominee to serve on each
regional commission from each of the legislatively identified state
organizations;
b. in the event
there is more than one organization, state association or entity, each entity
shall be requested to name a nominee and, once constituted, the commission
shall choose from among the nominees; and
c. if no state or local organization exists
in a category, but multiple nominees are identified in that category, the
selection of the representative to serve on the regional commission will be
determined by that category's group of nominees.
2. Once documentation is received from each
organization or group, the compiled list of nominees is submitted to the board
for ratification. The board shall appoint those selected by the various
organizations.
B. Voting members of the regional commission may be added through a process employing the following steps:
1. majority vote of a quorum
of voting members of the commission;
2. formal written request to LERN Board to
add specified voting member, with reasons for adding. Such addition must
represent a group which would enhance the working of the regional
commission;
3. majority vote by
LERN Board members at a meeting. If such a vote fails, the regional commission
may appear in person at the following LERN Board meeting, where the subject
will be revisited;
4. once an
additional voting member is approved for one region, in order for other regions
to add a member representing the same group, only a letter detailing the
requirements of Paragraphs 1 through 3 above will be necessary to add the
particular member. Board approval will not require an additional
vote.
