Beginning time of meeting: 6:30. Introductions were made as Daniel, Greeson and <br />Rhodes were new board members in attendance for the first time. Prior to the <br />meeting, the board had a tour of our northern most parks and the new members were <br />provided a brief board member orientation. <br /> <br />a. Meeting Summary (3/4) No comments on the March notes. <br /> <br />b. Additions or Changes to the Agenda: No additions were requested. <br /> <br />II. Report of the Chair. <br />a. Welcome to New Members, all introduced themselves. <br /> <br />b. Prior Membership Recommendations Status: the board still has an at large <br />position after an applicant for this position did not work out. <br /> <br />c. Consideration of Cheeks Township position: Rachel Massai is a new applicant. <br />The board looked at her application for this position. Daniels moved to <br />recommend, Greeson 2nd the motion. All voted in favor. All the other applicants <br />were then up for the at large position. Bill Kaiser was noted as since appointed to <br />another advisory board. Daniel Siler is chair of Carrboro Parks & Recreation <br />Board. Both were still the strongest applicants, however, the board did not move <br />either name forward. Bench asked if Stancil can talk with Kaiser about wanting to <br />be involved and provisionally include him if he is interested. The board will <br />forward Massai’s name to the BOCC for recommendation for the Cheeks <br />Township Position (along with Kaiser’s if he is interested). <br /> <br />d. The BOCC is watching attendance closely now. Members need to attend 2/3 of <br />the meetings. Each quarter, the attendance of the board is turned in to the BOCC.
