Following precedent, for each applicant to <br /> fill the vacancy,CEC members residing in Commission District 1 voted `yes' or`no' as to whether <br /> such applicant should receive the CEC's recommendation, with applicants receiving weighted- <br /> majority votes in the affirmative receiving a recommendation. <br /> Per that vote, each of the four applicants for the BoCC vacancy—in alphabetical <br /> order by last name, Marilyn Carter, Rani Dasi, Penny Rich, and Anna Richards—received <br /> the CEO's recommendation. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that <br /> our transmission of these recommendations is intended to fulfill the consultation requirement of <br /> N.C. Gen.
