The intent is to prevent a small portion of a county's municipal population from vetoing a Strategy which has been agreed to by local governments representing an overwhelming majority of the total county population. Only that portion of the city's population within a particular county is considered. For example, if a city has a population of 15,000 and 12,000 people are within one county, the city would have approval authority in that county since it is more than 9,000, but it would not have approval authority in the other county where its population is only 3,000, unless it is not the county seat or the only city between 500 and 9,000 population. The law uses the term county site.
County site is the legal term used in Georgia law.
