schedule, but one reason the fields in Cedar Grove Park are not used that much is because of the County's fee schedule. Commissioner Yuhasz said that these are baseball fields that only are used for baseball, so it puts them in a different situation than some of the other facilities that the County has. It may not be precedent setting in this respect. Commissioner Jacobs said that staff has said that it would review any inequities, and the agreement is only for one year. Everyone is on notice to see if this works. He said that there is not a competitor to use these fields. He said that this is kind of like the Triangle Sportplex, and he is ok with this. Chair Pelissier said that the County Commissioners should look at this as giving to a non-profit and not as eliminating a fee charge. Commissioner McKee encouraged HYAA and staff to continue to work out the details of this agreement and to work with a third party for concessions or let HYAA run it. Chair Pelissier said that it is very important to have concessions in some form. 3. Specific Policies for Board of County Commissioner Advisory Boards Chair Pelissier made reference to the handouts — a memo from the Human Relations Commission and a copy of the general advisory board policy. Advisory Board on Aging: Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 2 and said that the word "elderly" should be changed to "older adults". The representative from the board agreed to change the wording to "older adults." Commissioner Gordon asked about the 12 voting members and that seven were to be over "60". Staff currently has these positions as At-Large positions and always has. She asked that this be noted on the template for "special representation." Clerk to the Board Donna Baker said that it has always been an at-large designation. Commissioner Gordon made reference to Section V, Orientation, and said that there needs to be a committees section. Chair Pelissier made reference to the membership and said that there are positions for people from all three towns but not from the rural areas. She asked to add this to the policy. Commissioner Yuhasz suggested designating two people from the unincorporated parts of the County. John Roberts asked to move the Human Relations Commission and the Affordable Housing Advisory Board to the end because Tara Fikes was running late. Arts Commission: Chair Pelissier made reference to Goals and Objectives to suggested indicating something about the relationship to economic development. Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 6 and accepting gifts or donations. She asked if this was any way related to the community foundation. Martha Shannon said that this is a combination of the recent resolution and the by- laws. She said that she took the parts of these two and fitted them in this new template and it is the same wording it has been in the past. Commissioner Gordon suggested leaving it and flagging it for future discussion. If the County ever decides to come up with the foundation, it could be considered. County Attorney John Roberts said that this is fine. Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 7, section 3, membership, and where the files shall be lodged.
