district;

(2)  Requires the board of directors for any district composed of
one or more local transportation authorities with a project
including the operation of a public mass transportation system to
consist of at least three but not more than five members
appointed by the chief executive officer of each local
transportation authority proposing the creation of the district;

(3)  Allows any director appointed by a chief executive officer
to be removed by the officer at any time with or without cause;

(4)  Specifies that no transportation development district formed
by local transportation authorities for a project including the
operation of a public mass transportation system will be required
to submit any proposed project to the Highways and Transportation
Commission for approval before construction or funding; and

(5)  Creates the Transportation Development District Sales Tax
Trust Fund for the deposit of sales tax collected under Section
238.236, RSMo, for a transportation development district formed
by local transportation authorities for projects including the
operation of a public mass transportation system.  Moneys in the
fund cannot be commingled with state funds and are not to be
considered economic activity taxes.
