16. Reconsideration and Mediation: If one or more of the Governing Bodies objects to any action proposed or taken by the Commission, including any action taken to update or implement the Financial Plan or the Facilities Plan, the Governing Body objecting to the action shall request that the Commission reconsider such action by delivering a written request therefor to the Commission. The Commission shall put such action on its agenda for reconsideration at any Commission meeting within 45 days after receipt of the request for reconsideration. Except as provided below, if a Governing Body objects to the Commission's action after reconsideration by the Commission, the Governing Body may refer the matter to the General Membership of the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) for mediation in accordance with any procedure adopted by MPC. If a resolution of the matter has not been reached previously, MPC shall, within 45 days after referral of the matter to MPC, make a written recommendation for resolution of the matter to the Governing Bodies for their consideration. MPC's recommendation shall be advisory only and shall not be binding on the Governing Bodies. Except as provided below, the Commission's action shall take effect only after all Governing Bodies are in agreement. If the action objected to is the Commission's determination of rates and amounts pursuant to Section 3. e. 1, the recourse of an objecting Governing Body is limited to submitting the matter to the Commission for reconsideration within 30 days after the Commission's recommendation is made. The Commission's decision on reconsideration of those rates and amounts shall be final.
