She wanted to recognize that this has been done. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br />approve execution of the Funding Approval Form and Grant Agreement and approve the <br />Resolution giving signatory authority to the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />gL Durham Technical Community College's Nature's Kitchen Culinary Program and <br />Orange County Senior Centers <br />The Board considered approving a facility use agreement for Durham Technical <br />Community College's Nature's Kitchen Culinary Program usage of the Orange County Senior <br />Centers' kitchen facilities and authorizing the Manager to sign. <br />Commissioner Gordon recognized Carlo Robustelli from DTCC Orange County <br />Campus. She verified that the County Commissioners had received her comments and <br />changes and that they were in agreement. <br />Frank Clifton asked Carlo Robustelli to explain what this program is. <br />Carlo Robustelli thanked the County Commissioners and the Department on Aging for <br />this opportunity. He said that the vision in Orange County is to provide new programs while <br />maintaining existing programs and services for the community college in Orange County. This <br />is an extension of that effort. This program has been provided in Durham County for a long <br />time and there was never a kitchen to be able to provide it in Orange County and this will make <br />it possible. He explained the program, which teaches the very basic foundations of culinary <br />cooking. This enables students to be able to work as chefs and caterers. There is a focus on <br />sustainable preparation of food. <br />Janice Tyler, Acting Director of the Department on Aging, said that she hopes that this <br />will be a partnership and this will result in cooking food on-site for the daily nutrition program. <br />Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Jacobs commended both parties on such an <br />innovative program. <br />Commissioner Hemminger said that she hopes that the public schools that are sending <br />their students to Alamance Community College were contacted to possibly send them to DTCC <br />in Orange County. <br />Chair Pelissier echoed the comments. <br />Commissioner Jacobs congratulated the County Commissioners for having the foresight <br />to put commercial kitchens in both of the senior centers. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br />approve and authorize the Manager to sign the facility use agreement, with the changes as <br />submitted by Commissioner Gordon. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
