Within sixty days after action to establish a metropolitan district has been initiated by vote of the legislative bodies or by petition, the legislative bodies of the central city and any towns, cities or boroughs which have indicated an intention of forming a metropolitan district shall meet jointly at a time and place designated by the presiding officer of the legislative body representing the largest number of electors and shall provide by joint resolution for the appointment of a metropolitan district charter commission, which shall consist of at least one representative from each town, city or borough to be included in such district, but in no case shall such commission consist of less than five nor more than fifteen members regardless of the number of towns, cities or boroughs involved. Where representation exceeds one representative per town, city or borough, the representation shall be, as nearly as possible, in proportion to the number of electors residing within the boundaries of any town, city or borough to be included in such metropolitan district. On any matter coming before the joint meeting of the legislative bodies as hereinbefore provided which requires a vote, no town, city or borough shall be accorded more than one vote on each such matter. The choice of the charter commission representatives from each town, city or borough to be included in the metropolitan district shall be the responsibility of such town, city or borough and such representatives shall be selected in such manner as the legislative body of such town, city or borough prescribes.
