13 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Board of County Commissioners <br /> FROM: Gene Bell, Planner III �/ <br /> SURF Suggestions on Neighborhood Representatives and Alternates for the Stoney <br /> Creek Basin Planning Group <br /> DATE: February 2, 1995 <br /> Attached to this memo are two lists. The first documents staff efforts-to-date on securing <br /> the names of individuals willing to serve as neighborhood representatives and alternates for the <br /> Stoney Creek Basin Planning Group. We have tried to go through established neighborhood <br /> organizations (where they exist) to be sure nominees represent the widest possible consensus of <br /> residents. For some neighborhoods, we have not been able to secure the names of individuals <br /> willing to be considered as the primary representative or alternate. Where this is the situation, <br /> we suggest that the slots be kept open while we continue our efforts to identify possible <br /> candidates. <br /> The second list contains a proposal for Board consideration on seven "at large" <br /> representatives. The neighborhood names are those of additional people who expressed an <br /> interest in serving in a primary or alternate capacity. The proposal is to appoint Bob Strayhorn <br /> to represent farming interests, Arthur Cogswell for large land owners, and one or more <br /> additional representatives from Strayhorn Hills, Stoney Creek, Wyngate and the Powder Mill <br /> area. One possibility here is to appoint two representatives from Strayhorn Hills (given their <br /> size and turnout at the community meeting) and one representative from each of the other <br /> neighborhoods. Another possibility is to leave one of the at large slots open and instruct staff <br /> to secure additional nominations for it while they are soliciting additional names for the unfilled <br /> neighborhood slots. <br />
