The board has added someone with institutional memory as an ex-officio <br /> 6 capacity and Lee Pavao is sitting in this position. <br /> 7 Commissioner Hemminger suggested putting the number of inembers in the <br /> 8 "composition" section. There are three ex-officios and 14 members. <br /> 9 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 13, A-2, and she read, "The Orange <br /> 10 County Board of Commissioners may appoint an advisory board whose duty is to serve in an <br /> 11 advisory capacity to the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Board." She said that it <br /> 12 should say, "whose duty is to provide advice on visitors' services in Orange County." <br /> 13 Commissioner Gordon made reference to the Charge and halfway down the paragraph <br /> 14 and said that it should read, "the board's purpose is to serve in an advisory capacity to the <br /> 15 Orange County Board of Commissioners" and not "government." <br /> 16 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 14, B-1 and suggested saying <br /> 17 "surrounding areas" instead of"surrounding Efland." <br /> 18 Commissioner Gordon made corrections to "Representation" and said that it is Town of <br /> 19 Hillsborough Commissioners and Town of Carrboro Board of Aldermen. Also, EDC Board- <br /> 20 Orange County should read, "Economic Development Commission."
