BACKGROUND: The Hillsborough Board of Adjustment reviews non-residential building projects, variance requests, and appeals. The Board of County Commissioners appoints two (2) regular members and one (1) alternate member who are all residents of the Hillsborough Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) § 160D-307 indicates that in the event there are "an insufficient number of qualified residents of the extraterritorial area to meet membership requirements, the Board of County Commissioners may appoint as many other residents of the county as necessary to make up the requisite number". N.C.G.S. § 160D-307 also states "If a board of county commissioners fails to make these appointments within 90 days after receiving a resolution from the city council requesting that they be made, the city council may make them". The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners has recommended a non-ETJ county resident in accordance with the referenced statute. The following individual is recommended for Board consideration: NAME POSITION TYPE OF EXPIRATION DESCRIPTION APPOINTMENT DATE TERM Carl (Eddie) Hillsborough ETJ First Full Term 06/30/2029 Sain (move from alternate position)
