However, from information received later in the Clerk's <br />office, it was learned that Ms. Wood actually resides in the Carrboro Transition Area. <br />Per Geoff Gledhill, Orange County Attorney, since the Board of County Commissioners made <br />the appointment believing mistakenly that Ms. Wood resided in the Carrboro ETJ, the <br />appointment should go back to the Board as soon as possible keeping the 90-day rule in mind. <br />Pursuant to statute, if the Commissioners decide that none of the other applicants that reside in <br />the ETJ are qualified, and Ms. Wood is qualified, the Board can uphold her appointment, <br />although she resides outside of the Carrboro ETJ, If on the other hand the Commissioners <br />decide that another applicant that resides in the ETJ is qualified, they may appoint that person, <br />The Carrboro Board of Aldermen has recommended Mr, David Clinton be appointed to the ET.1 <br />seat, The deadline for the Board of Commissioners to make this appointment is June 10, 2004; <br />otherwise the Board of Aldermen may make this appointment, <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None, <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider the appointment of Ms. Caroline Wood to the Carrboro <br />Planning Board to a ETJ position with an expiration date of 02/28/2007 as the Board may <br />decide. <br />
