42 <br /> <br />The Board considered making an appointment to the Commission for the Environment. <br /> Chair Dorosin said there is a seat that has been vacant since May 2017, and the <br />Commission has repeatedly asked the Board not to fill this vacancy. He proposed that this be <br />the last time that the Board honors that request. <br /> The Board agreed by consensus. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br />appoint the following to the Commission for the Environment: <br /> <br />• Appointment to a first full term (position #1) “At-Large” for Jody Eimers expiring <br />12/31/2020. <br />• Appointment to a first full term (position #10) “At-Large” for Laura Doherty expiring <br />12/31/2020. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />f. Human Relations Commission – Appointment <br />The Board considered making an appointment to the Human Relations Commission. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br />appoint the following to the Human Relations Commission: <br /> <br />• Appointment to a partial term (position #2) “At-Large” for Rebecca High expiring <br />06/30/2018. <br />• Appointment to a partial term (position #3) At Large for Alicia Reid expiring 9/30/2018. <br />• Appointment to partial term (position #13) Town of Hillsborough for Allison Mahaley <br />expiring 6/30/2020 (is being appointed without a resolution from Town of Hillsborough <br />because they have not submitted anything over the past 8 months). <br /> <br />Commissioner Price asked if the Board should be filling the position. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said it has been open for eight months, and the BOCC decided <br />previously to only wait so long to fill positions, and the applicant lives in Hillsborough. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the Town of Hillsborough was supposed to put someone <br />forward. <br /> Donna Baker said the Town has failed to do so, despite repeated requests. <br /> Chair Dorosin said there is a second Hillsborough position, which the Board is not <br />filling. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said Hillsborough has two positions to appoint; Carrboro has <br />two positions to appoint; and Chapel Hill has one position to appoint. He said this was <br />apparently a data entry mistake, which has been corrected. <br /> Commissioner Price referred to item 11-a, the Go Triangle Transit Community <br />Advisory Committee, and said their bylaws state that each member would be responsible for <br />their own expenses. She said if the Board desires people to serve that typically use public <br />transportation or rides a bus, then some reimbursement should be provided. <br /> <br />12. Information Items
