They request that the Board of Commissioners <br />Ned Hudson once again make an exception to their term limit policy for WIC members <br />Secretary - Treasurer to make it possible for Mr. Kelly to serve a second term. We were advised <br />by the county Clerk's office that there were no applications on file for the <br />Robert Brown Watershed Improvement Commission. Unfortunately, Commissioner <br />Member Burrage was unable to attend this meeting as the BOC liaison to WIC <br />because he was participating in the "Basic Training Course for Soil and <br />Louis Suther Water Conservation Supervisors" at the UNC Institute of Government. <br />Member <br />Mr. Kelly is a registered engineer who is responsible for both the erosion <br />Tommy Porter and sedimentation control and stormwater management programs for the <br />Associate Member City of Monroe. His experience has been invaluable to the Commission <br />as they respond to plan review requests from planning and zoning staff <br />Bob Ritchie and technical assistance requests from business owners and citizens. <br />Associate Member <br />The mission of the Watershed Improvement Commission is to provide <br />STAFF coordination for water quality and water quantity initiatives throughout the <br />incorporated and unincorporated areas of Cabarrus County. This <br />Dennis Testerman responsibility has become more challenging since the dissolution of the <br />Resource Conservation Specialist county's local erosion and sedimentation control program in 2010. <br />Coincidentally, the "Cabarrus County 2010 Community Survey Findings" <br />Daniel McClellan poll of county taxpayers found that protecting water quality and the <br />Resource Conservation Specialist environment was number one priority issue residents felt community <br />leaders should address. <br />Amy Griffith <br />Administrative Secretary The Commission members appreciate the opportunity recommend the <br />reappointment of Don Kelly. <br />Attachment number 1 <br />H -5 Page 253 <br />
