ORANGE COUNTY 2 X02 NORTH CAROLINA CELEBRATING 250 YEARS Orange County Personnel Department 208 South Cameron Street Elaine Holmes Tel (919) 245-2550 Post Office Box 8181 Director Fax (919) 644-3009 Hillsborough, NC 27278 www.co.orange.nc.us June 2, 2003 MEMORANDUM TO: Margaret Brown, Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners FROM: Elaine Holmes, Personnel Director SUBJECT: Personnel Hearing Board Appointment The Personnel Hearing Board has three members. These presently are Barbara Delon (African American, female), Kay Hovious, (white, female) and Edwin Caldwell (African American, male). Each member presently resides in Chapel Hill. Ms. Delon has served three two-year terms as a member of the Personnel Board. In accordance with the Board of Commissioners' policies governing appointments, Ms. Delon's appointment will expire June 30, 2003 and she is not eligible for reappointment. From October 2001 through May 2002, five citizens have applied to serve on the Personnel Hearing Board. Orange County Personnel staff have reviewed the applications received and contacted or attempted to contact each of the five applicants to discuss their qualifications, interest and availability. Of the five applicants, one (Blair Sweeney) is planning to move out of the area and one (Charles Lee) has not responded to telephone messages and an e-mail to him was returned as undeliverable. The remaining three applicants (Robert Bailey, Susan Lyons, Glenn Wilson) indicate that they are available and willing to serve. All are white. Two live in Chapel Hill and one (Robert Bailey) lives in Eno Township. Each member of the Personnel Board must be a resident of Orange County and no County employee or officer is eligible to serve. In addition, one member of the Personnel Board must have had experience in public or private sector management or personnel administration. Mr. Edwin Caldwell, a current member of the Board, already satisfies this criterion. The Clerk's Office advises me that the Board of Commissioners wishes to have my recommendation as to whom to appoint to the Personnel Board. From among the applicants available at this time, I recommend the appointment of Susan Lyons. She has: • 25 years management, customer service, and quality training experience. • A background in human resources. • Current consulting business focusing on developing training curricula including supervisory training, employee relations and leadership and job skills development. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Ac-ien Ee,nl....e.
