On July 7, 2011, the MPO approved an amendment to its Memorandum of Understanding that resulted in the MPO´s membership increasing from 14 to 22 members on November 1, 2011. Under the new structure there is one elected municipal seat for each of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council’s (MAPC´s) subregions and four at-large elected municipalities (two cities and two towns).
