He would like to urge that <br />this be resumed. This gives clarification to the charge, the relationship with the Board, <br />bylaws, etc. <br />Chair Pelissier said that this is a good topic for the retreat regarding training for the <br />boards. <br />Frank Clifton said that the Board of County Commissioners meets with many of these <br />boards on an annual basis and he suggested recognizing some of these at work sessions to <br />have face-to-face contact. <br />Chair Pelissier asked how the Board would like to proceed. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that the County Commissioners should acknowledge that <br />they received the information. They could then decide whether or not to proceed with <br />discussing the boards. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested going through these boards and not inviting those <br />that have no comments and flagging those the County Commissioners want to have at a <br />meeting. <br />Chair Pelissier agreed. She said that there are two things that should be discussed <br />at the retreat -sessions regarding training board chairs and the recognition of volunteers. <br />Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee: <br />Commissioner Hemminger said that when this board comes to the meeting, she <br />would like to suggest a summary format for the report. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested that someone else read over this because it is a <br />document of Orange County and it should be correct. <br />Frank Clifton said that the goal is to have staff less involved in the boards. <br />Chair Pelissier said that on concerns and emerging issues, the County <br />Commissioners should see these because it could be an issue on the legislative agenda. <br />Advisory Board on Aging: <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he does not think advisory boards should advocate <br />outside of the Board of County Commissioners. Chair Pelissier agreed that the Board of <br />County Commissioners should have some knowledge about this advocacy. <br />Frank Clifton agreed also. <br />Commissioner McKee said that because these boards and commissions are <br />representing the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, then they should align <br />with the Board of County Commissioners' priorities. He thinks that the County <br />Commissioners should officially approve any legislative advocacy of advisory boards. <br />The Board agreed. <br />Commissioner Gordon recognized that this board got the Messer Award. <br />Affordable Housing Advisory Board: <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to know more about the mobile home <br />park revitalization. <br />Chair Pelissier said that there was a report last year about the need to do <br />revitalization. <br />Frank Clifton said that there was a report and this park was identified by the AHAB. <br />The County has not taken any steps beyond that. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked what should be said in the letter to this board. <br />Chair Pelissier said that she does not want to make any comments in any of the <br />letters related to money. <br />
