<br />(NOTE: As of July 1, 2017, a new bill was passed in the North Carolina Legislature <br />regarding the training period for pending members of the “Adult Care Home Community <br />Advisory Committee and Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee”. The bill is <br />HB248 (see attachment) which reverses the appointment of the applicant to a one year <br />training term. Applicants will be selected from our county “Applicant Interest List” for a <br />more condensed training and if the applicant successfully completes the training, they <br />would be recommended for appointment. Therefore, when an applicant is recommended <br />for appointment, it would initially be for a one year preliminary term and their training will <br />have already been completed. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this item. <br /> <br />SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br />this item: <br />• GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION <br />Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting and <br />volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal <br />impact associated with this item. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss an appointment to <br />the Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee. <br /> <br />2
