Commissioner Jacobs suggested saying, "in consultation with appropriate members of <br /> the Economic Development Advisory Board." This is clear who would be choosing. The Board <br /> agreed. <br /> Arts Commission <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked if these membership terms should be the same as the <br /> rest of the boards. <br /> John Roberts said that Martha Shannon was very tied to the existing bylaws. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that he would like to see these specific bylaws reduced by <br /> the general bylaws that are applicable for each of these boards. He suggested only putting <br /> into the individual bylaws those things that were not in the general policy. He said that <br /> someone needs to develop a format. <br /> John Roberts said that each board was given the exact same format and <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that the format was not followed. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Yuhasz and said that there are the <br /> general standards for the boards and to ask staff to make sure that there are not duplications <br /> in their individual policies. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that she remembers discussing this and that the Board decided to <br /> have all of the terms the same for the different boards. <br /> Chair Pelissier clarified that the Board wanted the specific bylaws to only have the <br /> items in them that are different from the general policy. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that he does not want to review these policies until the <br /> changes have been made by each board. He proposed deciding on a specific format and <br /> sending out to all boards and having them follow the specific changes only. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs agreed. <br /> John Roberts made reference to page 9, #5 and Length of Service. This should have <br /> gone into the general advisory board policy. He said that he could bring it back for review at <br /> an agenda in the next couple of months. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that she noticed that some boards asked for a representative from <br /> Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, but no rural representative. She asked if the Board <br /> wanted to consider adding that. The Board agreed to add this for boards that specify the three <br /> towns only. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked that Mebane be considered as well. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked if it was appropriate to mention that something is in the <br /> UDO, like for the Planning Board. She suggested that this be allowed. <br /> This item will come back for further discussion at a work session. <br /> 3. Follow-up Discussion of the Manager's Recommended 2012-2017 Capital <br /> Investment Plan (CIP) <br /> Paul Laughton said that he has provided updates from the March 15th meeting. There <br /> is also an hour set aside for discussion on May 24th <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the school presentation could be first since the OCS <br /> representatives are present. <br /> Paul Laughton made reference to bullet#5 on page 2 of the abstract, which references <br /> Attachment 4, a letter from the OCS Board Chair and Vice-Chair regarding some emerging <br /> capital needs. <br />
