Board of Directors

The governing body of the LACRPC is its Board of Directors, known as the Regional Planning Commission. The Board reviews and takes action on recommendations made by LACRPC staff and committees. Representation on the Board is achieved by the appointment of delegates. Such appointment is made by the participating jurisdictions (county, municipality, and township). The delegates are appointed for a two-year term, starting in April of the even-numbered years. Appointments to the Commission are orchestrated in a manner that will provide for a composition that represents industry, labor, agriculture, business, and professional sectors. The Regional Planning Commission is composed of representatives of the various participating political subdivisions.

The various political subdivisions assign delegates to the Regional Planning Commission in the following manner: 

• six (6) delegates and six (6) alternates are appointed by the Allen County Board of Commissioners to serve the County at large; 
• one (1) delegate and one (1) alternate for each 5,000 persons in cooperating municipalities are designated by the planning commission of the municipality, subject to the approval of the legislative authority of the municipality; and 
• one (1) delegate and one (1) alternate for each 5,000 persons in a cooperating township are designated by the Board of Township Trustees of the participating township.
