and decided to ask the Board to consider the document that he distributed (email an the green sheet). He thought that, rather than deferring discussion of all of the issues related to board appointments to the meeting when this discussion will take place, he thought he would accelerate this one item because it would allow them to move ahead with the appointment of the Planning Board members as soon as possible. Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to the ABC Board and the report from the ABC Board Chair and said that it was missing one important issue -the gross sales far the year. The answer was $10 million, but the board chair had to ask a paid staff member for this very important number. He said that he is not sure the Board of County Commissioners does a thorough enough job of looking at the responsibilities of a particular board and the skill set that people should have to serve an a board like this. He made reference to the new mental health reorganization and the millions of dollars that this group will be looking at for the three-county area. He is concerned about getting enough information about the people that are applying for the boards. Commissioner Gordon would like to hold off for one more meeting, because she wanted to confer with the Clerk on what would be helpful administratively. She would like to have a better idea of what the problem is and what the solutions might be. Commissioner Foushee asked that the decision on this not be delayed for more than one meeting.
