<br />Memorandum <br />To: Board of Commissioners <br />Subject: Naming of Southern Orange Senior Center <br />From: Moses Carey, Jr. <br />Date: October 10, 2005 <br />This is to inform you that after numerous discussions over the last few weeks with <br />leaders of the Friends of the Chapel Hill Senior Center and the Orange County Boazd on <br />Aging, I have decided to ask our boazd to consider naming the Southern Orange Senior <br />Center for the Seymout's. All groups contacted believe strongly that this honor has been <br />eazned over the years Rev. Seymour has devoted to serving the needs of seniors and those <br />of Orange County as a volunteer. Since they are Earn in their request (of which you have <br />a copy) to name the building for the Seymour''s I have discussed the matter with Vice <br />Chair Barry .Jacobs and we have decided to proceed as follows. <br />November 2, 2005 meeting---Ask BOCC to consider revising our policy to expressly <br />pernvt naming the building for a living person and to remove the current process <br />requirement that the Manager must make a recommendation to the board after a request <br />has been made to him. The matter of a policy change does not require a public hearing. <br />November 15, 2005 meeting----Ask the board to consider naming the building for the <br />Seymour''s <br />All parties to this discussion are awaze of what our current policy includes on this issue, <br />Further they aze sensitive to the fact that the Seymour's aze not awaze of this effort and <br />want us to avoid using the Seymour's name until we consider the matter in the 15`h, if <br />possible. <br />The staff will provide the appropriate copies of the policy in the agenda packet for the <br />Nov. Znd meeting. If you wish to have it before then, please contact John Link. Please let <br />me know if you have any questions or comments. <br />Cc: John Link, Manager <br />Donna Baker, Clerk to the Boazd <br />
