29 <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she supports reappointing Eimers to bring gender diversity <br /> and technical experience. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said Commissioner Greene's concerns could be brought up at <br /> meetings with OWASA representatives. <br /> Commissioner Bedford agreed that she wants good thinkers, over those who are exactly <br /> in lock step with the BOCC. She said the OWASA board listens to all appointees, but ultimately <br /> presents the best science and the best facts, rather than thinking about development. She <br /> said there will be opportunity for the BOCC to intervene if necessary. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said she supports Eimers for the same reasons already outlined. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said Quentin Harper has served on the board before, and can <br /> cycle back on after a rotation off of the board. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he served for Carrboro when he was previously appointed. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked how long one must be off of a board, after serving 2 terms, <br /> before being able to reapply. <br /> Tara May said one year. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she would like the BOCC to have a future discussion about <br /> this. She said she agreed with Commissioner McKee when considering advisory boards, but <br /> the OWASA board is different as three governments control it together. <br /> The majority of the board supported Eimers, with the exception of Commissioner <br /> Dorosin. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Chair Price, to adjourn the <br /> meeting at 11:02 p.m. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: UNANMIOUS <br /> Renee Price, Chair <br /> Laura Jensen <br /> Clerk to the Board <br /> Submitted for approval by Laura Jensen, Clerk to the Board. <br />
