She said this Board wants to remain at its current size. 43 Commissioner Rich said it is hard to fill larger boards, and suggested talking about this 44 during the annual review. She said she would like to reduce this board, and other boards, 45 where possible, as it is frustrating when boards cannot have a quorum due to lack of numbers. 46 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if merging these boards would work, and allow the 47 same amount/type of work to be done. 48 Commissioner Price said she attended the Adult Care Home CAC, which meets in the 49 afternoon. She said this board was reviewing the various adult care homes.
