5 re-appointments and then we always specifically mention the openings and how long they have been vacant. The BOCC is then will pick from the list ofapplicants. |f your advisory board makes a recommendation, then they take the recommendation based on the advisory boards reasoning for a good fit and take that into consideration. So | leave itup to you. We actually need to reduce the number of appointments going up on for the September 15, 2015 BOCC meeting and are trying to move some to the October date.
