<br />Dee Gamble said that Ms. Karen Current, of El Centro Latino Board, would be delighted to be on the
<br />Commission. Discussion ensued regarding having the Latino population represented and that in the past
<br />we have had difficulty finding someone to serve; therefore, it would be good to nominate Ms. Current.
<br />Dee Gamble moved, David Thompson seconded, that Ms. Karen Current, of the El Centro Latino Board,
<br />be nominated to serve as an At -Large representative, and that a letter of recommendation be written to the
<br />Chair of the Orange County Board of Commissioners concerning this.
<br />There was further discussion about ensuring ethnic diversity on the Commission. It was noted that the By-
<br />Laws state, "the Board of Commissioners may appoint up to four additional members representing any
<br />human services group; these appointments should reflect current County priorities." By consensus, the
<br />Commission was in favor of writing a letter to the Commissioners regarding appointing additional members
<br />or shifting positions in the future.
<br />The United Way, OPC Area Programs, and CIS vacancies were also discussed. Sharron said that she
<br />would soon be meeting with Sheila Sholes -Ross of CIS and would mention the vacancy to her. Barry said
