"Sec. 109.1.  Public Transportation Authority.  In establishing a Public Transportation Authority pursuant to the North Carolina Public Transportation Authority Act, Article 25 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes, the City Council may:
(1)	Require that a majority vote of all of the members of the Authority shall be required to constitute action of the Authority;
(2)	Provide that no member of the Authority shall be excused from voting except on matters involving consideration of the member's own official conduct, or where the member's financial interests are involved, and that in all other cases, a failure to vote by a member who is physically present at an Authority meeting, or who has withdrawn without being excused by a majority vote of the remaining members present, shall be recorded as an affirmative vote; and
(3)	Appoint and provide compensation for alternate members to serve on the Authority in the absence of any regular member and to prescribe the terms of such alternate members.  Each alternate member, so appointed, while attending any meeting of the Authority and serving in the absence of any regular member, shall have and exercise all the powers and duties of a regular member."
