If appointed Dr. <br /> Ikenberry will be serving her first full term ending 12/31/2011, Ms. Herring will be serving her <br /> third full term ending 12/31/2011. <br /> OPC has let us know that legislation was passed which speaks to appointments to mental <br /> health boards. Their Board by-laws reflect those requirements as follows: "Members shall not <br /> be appointed for more than two consecutive terms. Area Board members serving as of July 1, <br /> 2006 may remain on the Area Board for an additional term." Based on these guidelines Ms. <br /> Herring is eligible for an additional term on the OPC Board; she fills a mandated seat on <br /> the Board; and she has expressed interest in continuing to serve. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider making reappointments to Orange-Person-Chatham Area <br /> Programs Board. <br />
