ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: November 9, 2017 Action Agenda Item No. 1 SUBJECT: Board of Commissioners - Annual Advisory Board Selection Process Discussion DEPARTMENT: Board of Commissioners ATTACHMENT(S): Attachment A: Proposed Revised Selection Process - Discussion/Decision Point Attachment B: Current Policy Governing the Selection Process of BOCC Boards/ Commissions Assignments Attachment C: Excerpt from 2/16/17 BOCC Approved Minutes Attachment D: BOCC Advisory Board Assignments 2013-2017 INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Baker, 919-245-2130 PURPOSE: To discuss and/or approve a proposed advisory board selection process for the annual selection of the advisory boards on which Board members would like to serve. BACKGROUND: BOCC members serve on various County and County-related boards and commissions. On an annual basis, BOCC members indicate their desire to continue serving on specific boards or commissions or their desire to make changes by participating in a selection process. The Board decided at its meeting on February 16, 2017 meeting to abandon the current selection process and move forward with a newly revised process. Decision Points: Option 1: The goal of this option is to ensure greater rotation of Commissioners through these external positions. At the start of this process, all seats/positions on every board or commission is open. No slot, regardless of the position held on any board, can be reserved or is set aside in the selection process. First Round: • Commissioners do not keep any boards that they currently serve on – whether they are an officer or not. Commissioners can pick any other boards to serve on for the first round. 1
