All boards members must be eighteen (18) years of age or older <br /> unless applying for a youth-designated position. <br /> c. All board members shall be (domiciliaries of?) registered to vote in <br /> and a resident of Orange County unless they are under eighteen (18) <br /> years of age and applying for a youth-designated position.

All board members are representatives of the Orange County Board <br /> of Commissioners and shall conduct themselves, both in their official <br /> actions and personal actions so as to be above reproach in their <br /> conduct and shall not bring disrepute to either the County or the <br /> Commissioners. <br /> j.
