The governing board of the alliance shall consist of eleven (11) members, each appointed by majority vote of the board of supervisors. Should the scope of responsibilities and authorities of the alliance expand to include the administration of funding for other than Medi-Cal funded services, additional views and input of other providers and disciplines might be required, at which point in time the board of supervisors may, by resolution, increase the number of governing board members to a total of fifteen (15) members, designate the representation, and provide for the nominating entities.

    The initial eleven (11) members shall be appointed by majority vote of the board of supervisors, with the board of supervisors making the final decision as between multiple nominees for a given seat. The composition of the alliance governing board shall be as follows:
