7 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH A LI A <br /> ANIMAL SERVICES <br /> 1601 Eubanks Road http://orangecountync.gov/departments/animalservices phone: (919)942-7387 <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27516 fax: (919)918-2393 <br /> Memorandum <br /> August 28, 2017 <br /> To: Donna Baker, Clerk to Board of County Commissioner s <br /> From: Bob Marotta Animal Services Director <br /> Re: Recommendation of Position Change in Animal Services Hearing Panel Pool <br /> As the Board of County Commissioners proceeds to fill vacancies within the Animal Services Hearing <br /> Panel Pool, I wanted to recommend a change in the location of one of the current members of that <br /> body. Specially, I believe it would be prudent to move Marcia Adams from her current at large position <br /> to the vacant position for someone with experience in the field of public safety because there are many <br /> more candidates for the former position. <br /> Ms.Adams fits the description of someone with an experience in the field of public safety very well. Her <br /> work experience was in emergency services and emergency management. Known for her dedication to <br /> the field, she became a Sargent in Orange County Emergency Services. She served as a paramedic with <br /> Quick Response Vehicles and also worked closely with ambulance personnel on higher acuity calls. <br /> I would also note that Animal Services staff has reached out to local law enforcement agencies in Orange <br /> County for the name of other potential candidates for the public safety position in the pool. We have <br /> received several referrals and had conversations with a few interested persons but so far we have not <br /> received any applications. <br /> I would be glad to respond to any questions from your office. <br /> Cc: Andi Morgan,Assistant Animal Services Director <br /> Thom Freeman,Assistant to the Clerk, Board of County Commissioners <br />
