   whose district includes territory within the designated metropolitan        
   area. Provides that beginning in 2002, 5 Board members shall be             
   elected at large from the metropolitan area at a general election and       
   that the terms of the appointed members shall then expire. Provides         
   that the initial Board appointed shall have weighted votes based upon       
   the population of their represented territory or an equal part of

   votes. Incorporates certain provisions of the Civic Center Code             
   including the powers to acquire, construct, lease, and maintain civic       
   center facilities, to collect fees for the use of the facilities, and       
   to incur debt and issue revenue bonds to carry out these powers.            
   Provides that the Law shall be repealed on July 1, 2002 unless the

   1, 2002. Effective January 1, 1999.
