6 <br /> Good Morning Thom, As you know we have two Board members who were not available to accept a second <br /> term due to personal time constraints. <br /> We do have applicants in the system qualified for these specialized positions and we would request that the <br /> appointment process be placed on an appropriate upcoming BOCC agenda. <br /> The positions are: <br /> • Position #2—Tourism <br /> • Position #5—Agricultural <br /> This is in addition to the two (2) reappointments that we have already submitted: <br /> • Position #8— Lori Eichel, Core Business Community <br /> • Position # 10 — Mark O'Neal, Core Business Community <br /> From: Steve Brantley <br /> Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 2:59 PM <br /> To: Thom Freeman <br /> Cc: Tina Love <br /> Subject: Re: Orange County Economic Development's Advisory Board - recommendation for Ms. Paige Zinn r to fill <br /> opening <br /> Thanks. I understand and will have my advisory board review our applicants and then will let you know of their <br /> recommendation for an Oct meeting.

There are only a few exceptions to the individual boards sending in <br /> their own recommendations. If we don't send a recommendation from your advisory board, then we <br /> would just put up the to two re-appointments and then we always specifically mention the openings and <br /> how long they have been vacant. The BOCC is then will pick from the list of applicants. If your advisory <br /> board makes a recommendation,then they take the recommendation based on the advisory boards <br /> reasoning for a good fit and take that into consideration. So I leave it up to you. <br /> We actually need to reduce the number of appointments going up on for the September 15, 2015 BOCC <br /> meeting and are trying to move some to the October date. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Thom <br /> 3 <br />
