This information provided the <br /> Board with a yearly overview of the boards and commissions and their projected goals for the <br /> upcoming year. This particular process ended in 2007. The Board decided at its April 13, 2010 <br /> meeting to reinstate this process independent of the Board's annual retreats. <br /> The Boards that will be presented at the April 16 work session are: <br /> • Parks and Recreation Council Neal Bench, Chair (with Department of <br /> Environment, Agriculture, Parks and <br /> Recreation Director David Stancil) <br /> • Advisory Board on Aging Heather Altman, Chair (with Department on <br /> Aging Director Janice Tyler) <br /> • Agricultural Preservation Board Kim Woods, Co-Chair/Howard McAdams, Co- <br /> Chair; David Stancil (with Department of <br /> Environment, Agriculture, Parks and <br /> Recreation Director David Stancil) <br /> • Arts Commission Alice Levinson, Chair ( with Arts Commission <br /> Director Martha Shannon) <br />
