Orange County/Hillsborough Courtesy Review Agreement This item was removed and placed at the end of the consent agenda for separate consideration. VOTE ON CONSENT AGENDA: UNANIMOUS ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA c. Central Orange Hdult Uay f•iealth Center's Non-profit Hgency fay-Laws The Board considered reviewing and approving with any changes the draft by-laws for the non-profit agency to operate the Central Orange Adult Day Health Center, subject to final review by the County Attorney, with changes as discussed by the Board, and directing the Advisory Board and DOA staff to proceed in the formation of the new non-profit agency. Commissioner Gordon suggested that the principal office be located in Orange County (page 3, section 1). Also, an page 5, she found it astonishing that directors need not be residents of the State of North Carolina. She thinks there should be a statement that some people should be residents of Orange County. She suggested that 2I3 of the directors should be Orange County residents. John Link agreed and said that this particular director may be living in the retirement community and may not be a resident. Florence Soltys, Chair of the Advisory Board on Aging, said that the director might be very much a part and living in the retirement community, but not yet a resident of Orange County. John Link said that this should be clarified. Commissioner Gordon made reference to pages 6, 7, 8 and asked to replace "chairman" with "chair". Also, in Section 9, Action Without a Meeting, she said that it should add, "in emergencies". Also, she assumes that amendments would be for a quorum present, and if this is not the case, it should be added. Also, in Section 7, the last page, Non-profit Corporation, she read, "No part of the net earnings shall inure to the benefit of or be distributable to its officers, directors, ar other persons in similar positions except that the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of the purposes set forth herein." She thought this was very broad and that it should say "reasonable reimbursements". Commissioner Jacobs asked if Commissioner Gordon would like this to came back with the changes before the Board votes on it, or if she feels comfortable. Commissioner Gordon said that if there is anything that has to be investigated, then it should come back. Geaf Gledhill said that the attorney far this group should comment an the changes before it comes back. He said that it is not uncommon for small corporations to take action without meetings. John Link suggested bringing this back at the next meeting with either the changes or response by the attorney who drafted the by-laws.
