John Roberts said that he would add the Economic Development Commission to this <br /> list. Also, in subsection 2, in the second line, rather than "should'; for those four boards he <br /> would make it, "shall file the disclosure statement." He would also add a subsection C. "failure <br /> to file shall result in removal." <br /> The Board agreed. <br /> SECTION X. COMPENSATION AND TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT <br /> A. Compensation <br /> 1. As a general rule advisory board service is voluntary and appointed <br /> members shall receive no form of compensation for their services. <br /> 2. However, should the Orange County Board of Commissioners determine, in <br /> its sole discretion, that an advisory board's members should be <br /> compensated, such compensation shall be addressed in that advisory <br /> board's specific policy and rules of procedure as adopted by the <br /> Commissioners. <br /> B. Travel Expense Reimbursement <br /> 1. The Chair shall, to the extent practicable, schedule all hearings and advisory <br /> board meetings to minimize travel and per diem costs. <br /> 2. Payment of expenses to advisory board members shall occur only when <br /> travel has been approved by the County Manager prior to the time the <br /> expenses are incurred. <br /> 3. Orange County shall reimburse reasonable and necessary travel and <br /> incidental business expenses from pre-approved travel to advisory board <br /> members <br /> 4. Advisory board members shall be reimbursed in accordance with current <br /> local and/or state rules and regulations. Expense claims shall be submitted <br /> as required pursuant to the Orange County travel policy. <br /> 5. Transportation expense claims shall include charges essential for <br /> transportation to and from the meeting place. Reimbursement shall be <br /> made only for the local government's standard mileage allowance. Travel <br /> should be via the shortest, most commonly traveled route. <br /> 6. Travel expense does not include hotel/motel expenses. <br /> SECTION XI. LIMITATION OF POWER AND AUTHORITY <br /> A. Nothing contained in this Advisory Board Policy shall be construed to conflict with <br /> any North Carolina law or Orange County ordinance. Should there be an <br /> appearance of conflict, the appropriate North Carolina law or Orange County <br /> ordinance shall prevail. <br />
