Snohomish County shall be its own caucus (until and unless it is no longer <br /> the largest Police Agency in terms of Population Served, in which case all <br /> four caucuses shall be determined as per Subsection c below). <br /> c. The remaining Police Agencies shall be divided into three roughly equal <br /> caucuses based on Population Served, starting from the smallest Police <br /> Agency and working up to agencies serving more population. In deciding <br /> where to divide caucuses,the following rules shall apply: <br /> i. No Police Agency shall be divided into two caucuses. <br /> ii. Caucuses with the smallest agencies (the two caucuses with three <br /> Governing Board Member seats,referred to as Small and Medium <br /> Police Agencies on the Police Agencies Table below) shall be sized <br /> by rounding up (exceeding the population target to the extent <br /> necessary to completely include the target population and not divide <br /> any Police Agency between caucuses), and the larger Police Agency <br /> B-1 <br /> 60 <br />
