Tryon St., Hillsborough, NC 27278 (919) 245-2660 <br />Mazch 8, 2006 <br />Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />P,O, Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough NC 27278 <br />Subject: Board Appointments <br />Dear Chair Jacobs, <br />There aze currently two vacant seats on the Recreation and Parks Advisory Councih One "at <br />large" seat has been vacant for several months. The second vacancy was occasioned by the <br />resignation in November, 2005 of Torn Sievert, from the Chapel Hill Township, <br />RPAC has undertaken a recruiting effort since then, in an attempt to recmit minorities and/or <br />balance the council with male/female representation. The council has already unfavorably <br />considered both the applications of two women, previously on file. Since November, we have <br />received only one new application, that of Mr. Keith Bagby, a minority candidate, and no other <br />new application. The council agreed that Mr Bagby is a worthy candidate and Mr. Chuck <br />Hobgood (not a minority or female) remains our top choice because of his experience and <br />qualifications as well as the fact that he has selected only RPAC on which to serve. After cazeful <br />consideration of the ten current applicants (see list attached) this Council voted unanimously to <br />recommend the following action to the Board of Commissioners: <br />• To re-designate Council member Floyd Bridgewater (currently an "at ]azge" Council <br />member) as the Council member for Chapel Hill Township, If this action is approved <br />by the BOCC, two "at large vacancies would exist, <br />• Appoint applicants Keith Bagby and Chuck Hobgood as "at large" Council members <br />of RPAC.. <br />
