Commissioner Price said she is interested because she has been interested in that community for many years and she has attended some of the meetings and knows people in the neighborhood. Commissioner Dorosin said he is interested on the task force and has worked with the Rogers Road community for several years. He said he is knowledgeable about needs and priorities of the community and the issues they are facing. It was the focus of his campaign and he believes it contributed to his election. He said he has good relationships with residents and this would be invaluable to both the Board of County Commissioners and the task force. Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Pelissier all said they are not interested in serving on the task force. Commissioner Rich would like to continue on the task force and noted that she has been on it for six months. She said she has been involved since they first started pricing water and sewer out there. She thinks they need continuity and she has read all of the reports since 1997. She said that at the end of every meeting, there are no conclusions, just reports. She believes they need to move forward and it is time not to go backwards and to engage the managers to move forward as meetings take place. She said her goal would be to represent Orange County now and not Chapel Hill. A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier to nominate past commissioner, Pam Hemminger, to continue on this task force as an Orange County representative. She stated that Mrs. Hemminger kept people on task and had garnished a lot of respect. She knows the Orange County budget process and the county perspective. She noted that the task force makes recommendations only and does not vote as elected officials. Commissioner McKee seconded that motion.
