3 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Board of County Commissioners <br /> FROM: Alice Gordon <br /> DATE: June 24 , 1992 <br /> RE: County Commissioners and Their Township Residence <br /> At my request, Sylvia Clements of the Clerk's office has <br /> completed a listing of the members of the Board of County <br /> Commissioners for the 38 yeah period from 1954 to the present, <br /> along with their township residence. That listing is attached for <br /> your information. The cutoff date of 1954 was chosen because that <br /> was the first year that there were five commissioners on the Board. <br /> Prior to that date the Board had three members. Furthermore, the <br /> township residence of commissioners prior to 1954 was apparently <br /> not available for all commissioners. <br /> I thought this information might be of interest because of <br /> many recent questions concerning the number of commissioners who <br /> have resided in Chapel Hill Township. <br /> Note that the first year that all five commissioners resided <br /> in Chapel Hill Township was 1990. Coincidentally that was the <br /> first year that two women had ever served on the Board at the same <br /> time. <br /> Over the past 38 years, there have been 18 years during <br /> which 3 commissioners have resided in Chapel Hill Township. <br /> There have been 10 years during which there were two Chapel <br /> Hill Township Commissioners. <br /> Finally, there have been 4 years when there have been four <br /> Chapel Hill Township Commissioners and another four years when only <br /> one commissioner has resided in Chapel Hill Township. <br /> The current population in Chapel Hill Township is just under <br /> 70% of the total population of Orange County. <br />
