14 <br /> REMINDER: As of July 1, 2017, a new bill was passed in the North Carolina General <br /> Assembly regarding the training period for pending members of the "Adult Care Home <br /> Community Advisory Committee and Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee". <br /> The bill is House Bill 248 which reverses the appointment of the applicant to a one year <br /> training term. Applicants will be selected from the County's "Applicant Interest List" for <br /> a 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 the training will <br /> have already been completed. <br /> Tara May, Deputy Clerk to the Board, reviewed the application for Alison Brown. She <br /> said a bill was passed in 2017, which required training prior to appointment to this board. She <br /> said no other applicants have passed that training. She said Autumn Cox, State Ombudsman, <br /> will be doing more training as of May 1, and will have more applicants moving forward. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she is grateful for the one appointee, and thanked staff for <br /> clarification on the process. <br /> Board agreed by consensus to appoint Alison Brown to the at-large position. <br /> 5.
