The participants should receive <br />the Finalized Forum Report but not the cover letter. The cover letter would say <br />something like, here is our Report from the 1998 Forum, and please note the two points, <br />and repeat them in the letter. The participants would get the executive summary but not <br />the letter. <br />The Commission also decided by consensus to remove all jargon from the Report, such <br />as the word, "fictive" on page 3. <br />Albert Kittrell requested that someone from the group proof read the Final Report. <br />MEMBERSHIP <br />Judy Cox related that Mr. Hersch Slater had called her regarding recruitment of a <br />person to serve in the OPC Mental Health slot, but he has not been successful in that <br />yet. <br />eeJe,rl� �osl�r <br />K- aren- Tayfor said that she mentioned to the Board of Health that her membership on <br />Human Services Advisory Commission will be ending in March of this year, and that she <br />will keep this issue before that Board. She will also recruit personally for this position. <br />�Yr✓v�`I a� f �� ✓ <br />Beverly F-dster said that she had never gotten a final answer from Dee Gamble as to <br />whether she could continue on in the DSS representative, because Dee was filling out <br />Jan's slot. <br />Ms. Cox, Chair, would like us to send a copy of the report called "Members and Vacant <br />Positions" to those who were absent at this meeting, along with the minutes and ask for <br />an update of their addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Also, ask <br />everyone to bring this to the February 15, 1999 meeting. <br />Louise Echols will check with Hazel Lundsford to see if she would be willing to serve <br />another term since she is elibible for reappointment. <br />The Community In Schools (CIS) position was discussed. It is an active board, but they <br />work only with Orange County Schools, not with Chapel Hill or Carrboro Schools, Mr. <br />Kittrell said. Ms. Taylor explained that the reason we have this slot is because CIS <br />represented both north and south Orange County and they were active in the schools. <br />\ \OCEMAIL\APPS\ USERS\ USERS \NMARTIN \MY _DOGS \HSAC \MINUTES \011199.DOC; Last printed 02/15/99 9:42 AM <br />
