5 <br />Orange County <br />Advisory Board on Aging <br />July 30, 2009 <br />The Honorable Valerie Foushee <br />Orange County <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Chair Foushee: <br />Subject: Re-appointment and Re-assignment <br />Dr. Peggy Cohn's first term as an at-large representative on the Advisory Board on Aging <br />expired on June 30, 2009 and she is eligible for re-appointment to a second term. Dr. <br />Cohn had to miss the last several meetings of the 2008-2009 Fiscal Year meetings due to <br />her husband's illness. She also provided oversight for she and her husband in moving to <br />Carol Woods Retirement Community. The Advisory Board By-laws provide that <br />absences due for medical reasons maybe excused. Dr. Cohn is now interested in <br />resuming her responsibilities to the Board beginning with the August meeting. Having <br />been a valued member, the Advisory Board is eager for her return. At the June 9 meeting <br />the Board recommended Dr. Peggy Cohn for re-appointment. <br />Also, on June 30, Mr. Jerry Kruter completed his second term as the Carrboro Resident at <br />Position # 5 and rotated off the Board. Ms. Heather Altman was appointed to the Board in <br />January 2009 as an at-large representative at Position # 9. Ms. Altman is a resident of the <br />Town of Carrboro. The Advisory Board recommends that Ms. Altman be re-assigned to <br />the vacant Position #5 requiring Carrboro residency thus providing an at-large vacancy <br />for future applicants. <br />Thank you for your consideration of these actions. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jerry M. Passmore, Secretary <br />
