7 <br /> 1 Commissioner McKee said that he is reluctant to get into the animal removal business. <br /> 2 Commissioner Foushee said that this should be brought up in a regular meeting <br /> 3 regarding the services of the ASAB. <br /> 4 Chair Pelissier said that she would like to recognize boards that are collaborative with <br /> 5 other boards or agencies. There are two areas where this is mentioned by the ASAB, and she <br /> 6 wants to recognize this. <br /> 7 Commissioner Foushee said that the communications in the ASAB is a high priority, <br /> 8 especially regarding the deer hunting with dogs issue. This board is very informative. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 6. Arts Commission <br /> 11 Commissioner Foushee made reference to page 22 at the bottom and said that people <br /> 12 have made comments about how helpful the Arts Commission and Visitor's Bureau have been. <br /> 13 She suggested highlighting this. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 7. Board of Adjustment (BOA) <br /> 16 Chair Pelissier said that the BOA members say that they want to review fees and the <br /> 17 permitted use table, but they do not say why or what. She is not sure that this is their role. <br /> 18 John Roberts said that this is not their role because the Board of Adjustment is not an <br /> 19 advisory board. <br /> 20 Chair Pelissier suggested deleting this board from this process. <br /> 21 Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like to know what the issues are regarding the <br /> 22 permitted use table. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 8. Board of Health <br /> 25 Donna Baker said that the County Commissioners will be meeting with the Board of <br /> 26 Health in April. <br /> 27 Chair Pelissier suggested putting in the letter that they look forward to discussion in <br /> 28 April. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 9. Social Services Board <br /> 31 The same thing is true of this board. The County Commissioners will be meeting with <br /> 32 them in April and the letter will state such. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 10. Visitor's Bureau <br /> 35 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to agri-tourism on page 37. <br /> 36 Chair Pelissier said that she would like to encourage the Visitor's Bureau to promote <br /> 37 economic development and be more progressive. <br /> 38 Commissioner Jacobs wants them to be more progressive regarding food trucks in <br /> 39 Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. <br /> 40 Frank Clifton said that there are issues with this group and both of the towns, who are <br /> 41 establishing their own tourism board. There are some structure issues with the bureau. <br /> 42 Chair Pelissier suggested putting this on a future agenda, considering the potential <br /> 43 changing role in light of the new Visitors Bureaus with the Towns. <br /> 44 Commissioner Foushee said to be careful because Carrboro has not indicated the <br /> 45 desire to create its own board. The language should not assume that this will be done. <br /> 46 Chair Pelissier suggested that the letter say that the County Commissioners would like <br /> 47 to have discussions with them sometime in the near future about the implications of the <br /> 48 legislation so that it does not imply any expectation. <br /> 49 Commissioner Yuhasz suggested that the emphasis be on the Visitor's Bureau <br /> 50 investigating what should be done in response to the legislation. <br />
