The Clerk said no. <br /> Chair McKee said he is reluctant to fill those positions until they are re-advertised and <br /> attempts to recruit are made. He suggested only nominating for the positions 8, 9, and 1. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if this suggestion is only for the Agricultural Board. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the Ag Board is a different kind of board, with an incentive <br /> to having a voluntary Ag District. He said the BOCC redefined the Ag Board to give it a <br /> broader purpose and added additional seats. He said it is no longer just Voluntary Ag Districts, <br /> as they may not have much parochial interest. He asked if there are only twelve seats and <br /> there is an incentive to have a Voluntary Ag District, then how should the Board proceed. <br /> Commissioner Rich said there have been long discussions about board appointments <br /> and she does not want to start making exceptions; however, she better understands <br /> Commissioner Jacobs' point and finds it acceptable. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br /> appoint the following to the Agricultural Preservation Board: <br /> • Mr. Howard McAdams, Jr. (Change in representative (Position #10) "At-Large" <br /> representative to (Position #1) "High Rock/Efland Vol. Ag.
