This is one 24 <br />aspect the county strives to touch base with the grass roots. They held one in March for advisor y boards. The nature 25 <br />of this board is really not advisory. Donna Baker asked Michael Harvey to represent this board. Mr. Harvey did 26 <br />represent this board and I would like to thank him for doing so. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Larry Wright: A few days ago I learned Debra Graham will retire on July 31st from 30 years of Orange County Public 29 <br />Service. I am at a loss to find some superlatives to convey Ms. Graham’s excellent dedication and service. I wish her 30 <br />the upmost joy as she settles into her new life. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Larry Wright: I would like to open the floor for nominations for chair. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Jeff Schmitt: I would like to nominate Samantha Cabe. 35 <br />Mark Micol: Seconded. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Larry Wright: Unfortunately, she is an alternate member. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Michael Harvey: That is about to be corrected. The board is about to move her to a full member. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Larry Wright: Other nominations? 42 <br /> 43 <br />MOTION made by Jeff Schmitt to nominate Samantha Cabe. Seconded by Mark Micol. 44 <br />Vote: Unanimous 45 <br /> 46
