He asked if the Board has any interest in including age on <br /> 30 the application form. <br /> 31 Donna Baker said age has never been included on the application during her tenure with <br /> 32 the Board. She said she is not sure if it would be age discrimination. <br /> 33 Commissioner Marcoplos said he always wonders about an applicant's age. <br /> 34 Commissioner Greene said applicants list their email and phone number, and a <br /> 35 Commissioner can always reach out for further discussion. <br /> 36 Commissioner Marcoplos said having it on the form would save a lot of time. <br /> 37 Commissioner Dorosin said he would also be interested in this information, and if one <br /> 38 chooses not to answer that would be their prerogative. <br /> 39 Donna Baker said staff can research this topic further. <br /> 40 Chair Rich said perhaps the application could ask for an age range, as opposed to a <br /> 41 specific age. <br /> 42 Commissioner Marcoplos said there is a lack of young participants. <br /> 43 Chair Rich said she thinks people want to get here, but do not know how to. <br /> 44 Commissioner Marcoplos said, or we don't know they are young. <br /> 45 Commissioner Dorosin said perhaps a youth advisory committee would be warranted. <br /> 46 He petitioned the Board to consider this idea. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 12.
