Transit: Compromise sought FROM IB mise but with five members. "It's still giving the voters the bulking of the control," Roberson said. But several area residents who are members of Ross Perot's United We Stand organization questioned why any change was needed. "Why there's a necessity for any compromise, we don't know. We would rather stay with elected officials," Don Huizenga said.

If the commission rejects the city's plan and then approves a compromise, that alternate plan then must be approved by the City Commission for it to go into effect under state law. Both the city and the county must approve a change because the bus district provides service to areas outside the city, includBlack Eagle. The two commissions can alter the transit board at any time but must not cut short an elected person's term. Currently two transit board terms are up for re-election. A third spot on the board is vacant and awaiting appointment for the remainder of that term.

Three people are competing for the two transit board slots available. Current board members Paul Eastman and Sam Roberson both filed for re-election to their posts Thursday and businesswoman Nancy Weinzettel filed Wednesday to run for the board.
