It <br /> 3 may not be precedent setting in this respect. <br /> 4 Commissioner Jacobs said that staff has said that it would review any inequities, and the <br /> 5 agreement is only for one year. Everyone is on notice to see if this works. He said that there is <br /> 6 not a competitor to use these fields. He said that this is kind of like the Triangle Sportplex, and <br /> 7 he is ok with this. <br /> 8 Chair Pelissier said that the County Commissioners should look at this as giving to a <br /> 9 non-profit and not as eliminating a fee charge. <br /> 10 Commissioner McKee encouraged HYAA and staff to continue to work out the details of <br /> 11 this agreement and to work with a third party for concessions or let HYAA run it. <br /> 12 Chair Pelissier said that it is very important to have concessions in some form. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 3. Specific Policies for Board of County Commissioner Advisory Boards <br /> 15 Chair Pelissier made reference to the handouts —a memo from the Human Relations <br /> 16 Commission and a copy of the general advisory board policy. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Advisory Board on Aging: <br /> 19 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 2 and said that the word "elderly" should <br /> 20 be changed to "older adults". <br /> 21 The representative from the board agreed to change the wording to "older adults." <br /> 22 Commissioner Gordon asked about the 12 voting members and that seven were to be <br /> 23 over "60".

She <br /> 39 asked if this was any way related to the community foundation. <br /> 40 Martha Shannon said that this is a combination of the recent resolution and the by-laws. <br /> 41 She said that she took the parts of these two and fitted them in this new template and it is the <br /> 42 same wording it has been in the past. <br /> 43 Commissioner Gordon suggested leaving it and flagging it for future discussion. If the <br /> 44 County ever decides to come up with the foundation, it could be considered. <br /> 45 County Attorney John Roberts said that this is fine. <br /> 46 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 7, section 3, membership, and where <br /> 47 the files shall be lodged. <br /> 48 Martha Shannon said that this came from the original resolution. <br /> 49 Commissioner Yuhasz said to end the sentence after "County Manager." <br /> 50 <br />
