4 <br /> In all, 134 applications were received for the Task Force. The large number of <br /> strong applications made the selection process quite difficult. Even so, the <br /> Committee Is very appreciative of the expression of interest and willingness to serve <br /> of those citizens who applied. While only 26 persons will be appointed to the Task <br /> Force, we sincerely hope that all of the persons interested in serving will have the <br /> opportunity to do so as part of strategic issue committees (which will be created <br /> further along in the SOCF process). <br /> The Steering Committee gave careful consideration to each and every application, <br /> as evidenced in the four meetings that were needed to narrow down the list to 18 <br /> persons. The Committee asks that each of the governing hoards confirm the list of <br /> recommended appointments and appoint two additional members each. This, <br /> along with the Town of Hillsborough's two allotted appointments, will complete the <br /> 26-member Task Force. <br /> As the process moves along, the Steering Committee would like to continue to <br /> oversee the project. The Steering Committee strongly supports involving all <br /> applicants, and as many citizens as are interested in participating in this important <br /> initiative. A letter will be sent to all applicants, thanking them for their interest and <br /> making sure they are aware of the other opportunities for involvement in Shaping <br /> Orange County's Future. <br /> The Steering Committee hopes that you will find the recommended Task Force <br /> appointments acceptable and will be able to identify two additional persons for <br /> appointment. To assist in this process, staff is providing the complete packet of <br /> applications so that you may have benefit of this information in considering <br /> additional appointments. <br /> copies: Shaping Orange County's Future Steering Committee <br /> David Brower, Professor, ZINC City/Regional Planning (Advisor) <br /> Horace Johnson, Mayor, Town of Hillsborough <br /> Cal Horton, Chapel Hill Town Manager <br /> John Link, Orange County Manager <br /> Robert Morgan, Carrboro Town Manager <br /> Marvin Collins, Orange County Planning Director <br /> Roger Waldon, Chapel Hill Planning Director <br /> Roy Williford, Carrboro Planning Director <br /> David Stancil, SOCF Project Coordinator (Orange County) <br /> Mailing List <br />
