5. The Orange County Board of Commissioners may direct the Clerk to the <br /> Board of County Commissioners to establish an orientation program for <br /> certain advisory or other boards. <br /> 6. Extension of a member's term may be approved by the Orange County <br /> Board of Commissioners if it is determined that it is in the best interest of <br /> Orange County to allow an individual to continue to serve. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to consistency in language between items d-4 <br /> and a-1. One says, "no more than two terms for three years,"and the other says, "two <br /> consecutive terms." He thinks that the right one is "two consecutive terms." He suggested <br /> that this be put in d-4. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to people owing taxes to Orange County. <br /> Chair Pelissier asked if the Board wanted to include that people should not have any <br /> taxes owed in arrears to Orange County before being on a board. <br /> The Board agreed. <br /> John Roberts will add this in. <br /> E. Term <br /> 1. Each appointed advisory board member shall hold office until the <br /> qualification and appointment of his or her successor or until one year has <br /> elapsed since the expiration of the term for which the member was <br /> appointed, whichever first occurs. No person shall serve as an appointed <br /> member of an advisory board for more than two consecutive terms of three <br /> years. <br /> 2. In order to establish staggered terms the original voting members of the <br /> advisory board shall be appointed as follows: <br /> a. One- third for a one year term. <br /> b. One-third for a two year term. <br /> c. One third for a three year term. <br /> d. Thereafter, each newly appointed voting member shall serve for a <br /> three year term. <br /> 3. Advisory board members whose terms are due to expire may request they <br /> be appointed to a second term or be asked to accept a second term <br /> appointment to the position. <br /> 4. Notwithstanding section III(E)(1) above the membership of any advisory <br /> board member whom the Orange County Board of Commissioners decline to <br /> appoint to a second term shall immediately terminate upon the expiration of <br /> their term. <br /> 5. Advisory board members may not serve concurrently on more than two (2) <br /> Orange County advisory boards. This restriction does not impact an <br /> individual's service on boards and commissions that are not Orange County <br /> advisory boards or short term task forces or work groups. <br />
