Commissioner Yuhasz said that he has a problem with this because this entity is <br /> funded primarily with Orange County funds but is not under the County's control. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that there is enough concern that the Board should probably have <br /> a discussion specifically about this board. <br /> Frank Clifton said that the Visitor's Bureau is under the County's control and that is the <br /> problem with some of the city partners. <br /> Chair Foushee said that there needs to be a decision about whether this is going to be <br /> an Orange County department or a separate entity. <br /> Commission for the Environment: <br /> Chair Pelissier said that this board and others under the Department of Environment, <br /> Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR) put their objectives in the context of the <br /> comprehensive plan.
