She <br /> 14 wished him well. <br /> 15 Commissioner Bedford said the Board will miss Commissioner Dorosin's ability to think <br /> 16 fast on his feet, to keep the Board on track and organized when going down a rabbit hole and to <br /> 17 help the Board come to good decisions. She commended Commissioner Dorosin for taking a <br /> 18 position and it not being personal, even if one disagrees with him. She said the Board will miss <br /> 19 him. <br /> 20 Commissioner Fowler said she has enjoyed working with Commissioner Dorosin, and <br /> 21 appreciates where he comes from, regardless of any difference in opinion, and appreciates his <br /> 22 advocacy for social justice. She wished him the best in his next chapter. <br /> 23 Commissioner Greene said the County will miss Commissioner Dorosin's strong social <br /> 24 justice voice that comes from the same conviction that is causing him to leave the Board and go <br /> 25 to Florida. She wished Commissioner Dorosin the best in training new young civil rights lawyers <br /> 26 to pick up the torch. <br /> 27 Commissioner Hamilton thanked Commissioner Dorosin for his service as a <br /> 28 Commissioner and his other public service, and said he has made a difference to the <br /> 29 community. She said this is North Carolina's loss and Florida's gain. She said she is <br /> 30 disappointed because she was looking forward to learning from Commissioner Dorosin on how <br /> 31 to be effective as a County Commissioner. She wished him and his family the best. <br /> 32 Commissioner McKee said he enjoyed working with Commissioner Dorosin for almost <br /> 33 10 years now, and he made him a better commissioner. He said he will consider him a <br /> 34 Commissioner until the end of the day on July 31. <br /> 35 Commissioner Dorosin thanked the Board for its words. He said the generous <br /> 36 outpouring of support humbles him. He said his family has been in NC for 30 years, and it was <br /> 37 a difficult decision to move. He said the work he has been a part of on the BOCC has been <br /> 38 transformative for the community and for him as an individual. He said he has learned so much <br /> 39 from his colleagues, both current and previous. He said it has been challenging work, but <br /> 40 meaningful, and he appreciates the time and energy staff and the commissioners have put in. <br /> 41 He said the County is very fortunate to have such wonderful staff. He said it has been a <br /> 42 wonderful experience, and on one hand it has exceeded his wildest expectations, but he wishes <br /> 43 he could have done more. He said the Board faces a hostile state legislature and statutes that <br /> 44 constrain it from being as creative as it would like to be. He said he is humbled to have had the <br /> 45 opportunity to work with the community and the BOCC. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 5. Public Hearings <br /> 48 None <br /> 49 <br /> 50 <br />
