31 <br /> Visitor's Bureau 8:00 am third 1 Commissioner Commissioner Rich Chair Rich <br /> Wed., monthly, no Required <br /> meeting in <br /> July/December <br /> 1 <br /> 2 <br /> 3 <br /> EX-OFFICIO <br /> Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber of Commerce- does not Chair Serves <br /> require a Commissioner <br /> NC DOT Quarterly Meetings Chair/Vice Chair <br /> School Collaboration Meetings Chair/Vice Chair <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> 7 approve these appointments. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Commissioner Marcoplos referred to Chair Rich's comments at the beginning of this <br /> 12 item, and said this process can still be improved. He said last year the goal was to ensure that <br /> 13 no Commissioner had a lifetime appointment to any committee, which was achieved by the <br /> 14 changes made. He said the Board also acknowledged the need to serve for longer on some <br /> 15 boards due to the learning curve; however, there was no formal process put in place to ensure <br /> 16 this. He said he would like to discuss this at a future work session, and wants to know how the <br /> 17 Board makes the most of its power by putting the right people in these very important positions, <br /> 18 part of which is allowing the person to stay in the position for more than a year. <br /> 19 Chair Rich said one can be on a board for two years and when it comes time to choose, <br /> 20 it may be that no other Commissioners want the position. She said this begs the question of <br /> 21 whether the original Commissioner should be able to remain on the board. She agreed there <br /> 22 are details that need to be ironed out. <br /> 23 The Clerk said this process was approved previously, but there is merit in having further <br /> 24 discussion. <br /> 25 Commissioner Dorosin said the Board honored the process it established last year, and <br /> 26 he would argue against any one Commissioner becoming "an expert" on a particular <br /> 27 board/commission, or the notion that one Commissioner may be better suited to serving a <br /> 28 particular board than another. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 7.
