How will the City of Arlington be represented on the NCRFA governance board?

The NCRFA is governed by a Governing Board, currently with 6 members.  The Board’s powers are similar to those of a city council.  The City and NCRFA are in discussion about how to add Arlington representation to the Governing Board of the NCRFA.  This could take many forms, including one or more Board positions appointed by Arlington—permanently or temporarily, and/or by adding Board positions, either districted or at-large, which would be directly selected by voters.
