Appointment Policy Summary of Proposed Changes
February 15, 2011
1) Title Change from Procedures for Advisory Board Appointments to Board
Appointment Policy
Rationale: The word advisory is being deleted, since some boards do not
serve in an advisory capacity, such as, CPCC Board of Trustees, Library
Board of Trustees, Industrial Facilities Pollution Control, and the Jury
Commission.
2) Purpose statement was added as an introduction to the
policy.
Rationale: The purpose statement addresses the importance of citizen
involvement in the Board’s decision making process. It also clarifies that
some boards were established by the BOCC and some were established by
legislation or interlocal agreements.
3) Advisory was deleted throughout the policy wherever it
read advisory board. It now reads board.
Rationale: Not all boards serve in an advisory capacity.
4) Membership Terms was amended to allow persons appointed
to fill an unexpired term to serve two full consecutive terms following the
completion of the unexpired term.
Rationale: Provides for continuity of service.
5) Attendance Requirement was amended to clarify that
persons serving on boards established by legislation or interlocal
agreements would comply with the attendance requirements outlined in the
legislation or interlocal agreement establishing them, which in some
instances is different from the BOCC policy.
6) Removal of Members from Boards was amended to clarify that removal of
persons serving on boards established by legislation or interlocal
agreements would be done in compliance with the legislation establishing
them.
7) Administrative Procedures was amended to clarify that minutes of boards
established by legislation or interlocal agreements shall be maintained in
accordance with the legislation or interlocal agreement establishing them.
8) Minor wording changes for purposes of clarity and consistency.
Note: The following boards were established and/or authorized either through
legislation or interlocal agreement: Adult Care Home Community Advisory
Committee;

Motor
Vehicle Review; Central Piedmont Community College Board of Trustees;
