5 <br />Orange County Agricultural Preservation Board <br />February 20, 2009 <br />Orange County Board of County Commissioners <br />Attn: Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board <br />208 S. Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough; NC 27278 <br />Dear Board of County Commissioners: <br />At the February 18th board meeting, the Agricultural Preservation Board <br />recommended that Stanley Hughes' seat be declared vacant due to attendance <br />and conflicts preventing his participation in the board meetings. Mr. Hughes has <br />been contacted and invited to participate as time allows, however, he has had <br />standing conflicts for the last few years that have precluded his attendance. <br />The Agricultural Preservation Board recommends Joe Thompson and Tony <br />Kleese for appointment to fill the slots of Hughes and Marty Mandell. The Board <br />feels that with Mr. Kleese's background of promoting sustainable and alternative <br />farming and Mr. Thompson's alternative farming operation in Cedar Grove. <br />Township, they would offer considerable knowledge and diverse expertise that <br />will be valuable to the goals and mission of the Agricultural Preservation Board. <br />Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Roland Walters, Chair <br />Agricultural Preservation Board <br />cc: David Stancil, Environment and Resource Conservation Director <br />
