(Pre-registration is required.) <br /> 1. Additions or Changes to the Agenda <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Board Of County Commissioners (BOCC) could add <br /> a discussion about signing onto the letter from Mike Ogle in support of renaming the University <br /> of North Carolina (UNC) Student Stores in honor of James Cates. He said some Commissioners <br /> have signed on individually, but he would like to discuss a collective board endorsement. <br /> Chair Price asked if that discussion should be open to public comment. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the letter asked the Board to sign on collectively, so he <br /> recommends the Board voting on it as it would with any similar request. <br /> Chair Price said Commissioner McKee wants to add a discussion about the Alcoholic <br /> Beverage Control Board. She said there will also be an addition on the process for filling <br /> Commissioner Dorosin's vacancy on the BOCC. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked if the Board has to vote to approve the changes to the <br /> agenda. <br /> Chair Price said yes, and the Board will also decide when to address the items. <br />
