7. BOCC MATTERS A. Commissioner Assignments to County Boards And Commissions Commissioner Halkiotis said that no one should serve on a group that they are not interested in serving on. He suggested that if someone feels strongly about a board and commission they want to stay on, then they should stay on it. He feels strongly about staying with the Partnership for Young Children. He also has enjoyed serving on the task force for the Senior Center Design for Southern Orange. He is also interested in serving an something far the central and northern orange senior center. He has always had trouble getting to the meetings of Communities in Schools because of the meeting hours. He is also interested in methane gas and innovative and creative recycling efforts. He is not interested in transportation. Chair Carey agreed and said that someone should not be assigned to a group that they are not interested in. Commissioner Gordon said that her previous proposal opened it up so that people could serve and also allowed people to stay on boards where there was an on-going relationship. She is Vice Chair of the Durham-Chapel Hill- Carrboro Transportation Advisory Committee and Vice Chair of the Triangle Transit Authority Board of Trustees. She would at least like to stay with these boards. Commissioner Gordon suggested that Commissioner Foushee keep Commissioner Brown's list and then go round robin where everyone chooses, if that is the Board's pleasure. Her proposal is that everyone keep the boards and commissions they are really interested in. However, after the three, lots could be drawn for the boards and commissions one at a time. Commissioner Foushee agreed with everything that was said. She is willing to become a part of Commissioner Brown's boards. She is interested in Communities in Schools. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he thinks Chair Carey would be good for the OPC Area Board. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he does not want to draw straws on something that he does not want to be a part of. Chair Carey explained that the lot was for the order in which the County Commissioners would pick which ones they want to serve. He suggested starting with two that each Commissioner wishes to serve on. The County Commissioners picked two boards and commissions that they wanted to keep and then drew lots on the order of picking the third choice, and so forth, of the boards and commissions an which they wanted to serve. All choices are listed below.
