Who decides

The Board of Directors has 13 voting members. It adopts Metro's annual budget every year. State law requires that. That is Pub. Util. Code section 130105(a). Before a sales-tax measure goes to voters, the Board adopts a spending plan for the money. That is section 130350.5(f). The Board approved the FY2027 budget on May 28, 2026. That budget year starts July 1, 2026. No elected seats — the board is appointed. The board is appointed, not elected.
