Frank Clifton suggested the Board should appoint one Board member to be a chair and one to be vice chair when making appointments. Commissioner Gordon clarified that there is no consultant at this point. Commissioner Price asked about diversity. Chair Jacobs said the Board has very little control over many of these and this will not be known until the suggestions come back. Commissioner Gordon said, once the names come back, citizen representatives can also be appointed to balance things if needed. Michael Talbert summarized that 18 participants will move forward with each organization asking for a representative or designee. These will be brought back, along with the adjusted charge and the work group will then be created and the first meeting scheduled. Chair Jacobs suggested that the desire for diversity be communicated in this process. 8. Reports-NONE 9.
