Chair Pelissier said that the County Commissioners have done a lot of work on advisory boards and there was discussion about several things. She asked that when individuals leave advisory boards because of expired terms that the Chair writes a thank you letter. Also, she would like to have a different application process for the Planning Board, Equalization and Review, Board of Adjustment, and OWASA. These applications need to be more thorough. Chair Jacobs said that the Chair could have a letter sent to people who finish their terms without having it brought back to the Chair and the Vice-Chair. The second issue will be referred to the Chair, Vice-Chair, and Manager. 4. Proclamations/ Resolutions/ Special Presentations a.
