Executive committee representation for large cities
Summary
Big cities including Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale lack guaranteed seats on the SWA's day-to-day executive committee, which is split into five large-city, three medium-city, and two small-city seats filled by election. Mayor Levy and Commissioner Hernandez pressed for proportional representation given Hollywood's tonnage and population.

Impact analysis
Not directly fiscal, but representation affects the negotiating power of cities producing most of the tonnage.
Large cities want permanent seats; smaller cities fear being diluted if the committee expands.
