However, the Board of Supervisors may choose to form a PAC when not required by State law. The Board of Supervisors appoints residents and members ofiexisting community organizations in a redevelopment project area to the PAC. Tine PAC includes "residential owner occupants, residential tenants, businessmen and members of existing organizations within the project area." "Businessmen" includes non-resident property owners. An attempt will be made to Jequalize representation among organizations. A PAC will not exceed twelve (12) members, including ex-officio, non-voting members. i All potential PAC members must submit an application to th Supervisor whose district includes the redevelopment project area. The Supervisor than appoints members to the PAC. PAC members serve without cc apensation.
