Carrboro league of Women Voters October 1987 report, "Meeting Basic Hum Needs." THUS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners resolves and implores that the N.C. Job Training Council and its administrative arm, _ the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, change the income determination definition for persons aged 55 and over from "family income" to "family of one" and urges them to do so as quickly as is reasonable possible. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. E. REPORTS 1. AGRICULTURE EXTENSION CHAIRMAN RECRUITMENT Dr. Clyde Chesney, District Director, outlined the selection process and the procedures that will be followed in replacing Bi11 Mainaus who will retire February 1, 1988. After the interview process is com- pleted, Dr. Chesney will present a recommendation to the County for them to interview. If satisfactory, they will then make a formal presentation to the Board and make a decision on the salary. At that time, the Board has an opportunity to accept or reject the recommendation. Discussion can then take place if there is any question about the applicant. In answer to a question from Albert Kittrell, Chesney indicated that only one candidate will be sent to the Board to be interviewed. If the applicant is not satisfactory it will be discussed and if an alternative candidate is satisfactory deal with another candidate but usually the person recommended is the person best suited to fill the job as County Director. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS BOARD SUPPORT FOR CAPACITY USE Dr. David Moreau stated that The Environmental Affairs Board has recommended that the Board of Commissioners support the Capacity Use Designation of the Eno River. Tf the designation is made, the State, in cooperation with the local governments, will proceed to develop an appropriate management plan for the area. Commissioner Willhoit stressed that when the request was made to the State to do the study on the possibility of designating its capacity use, it was done for informational purposes with the intent that the County would be able to devise a plan that could be administered locally. Dr. Moreau stated that with the capacity use designation, the County would then determine what the management plan would be and the State would in turn endorse the plan. Don Cox spoke in support of designating the Eno River a capacity use area and asked the support of the Board at the upcoming Public Hearing. F.
