Heather Jones, Extension Agent, 4 -H Youth Development, requests Ms. Ziama be appointed to the Council to fill an "At- large" position. Also, in April, Isaiah Alexander, Ian Smith and Cameron Watson were appointed to the Council with terms ending in April. These terms should end February 21st. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Measmer, seconded by Commissioner Burrage and unanimously carried, the board appointed Georgie Ziama to the Cabarrus County Youth Council as an "At- large" representative for a two -year term ending February 21, 2013 and corrected the ending terms for Isaiah Alexander (February 21, 2013), Ian Smith (February 21, 2012) and Cameron Watson (February 21, 2012). (H -2) Appointment - Food Policy Council (FPC) The Executive Committee of the Food Policy Council received staff recommendations for the replacement of three Council membership positions. The Executive Committee interviewed candidates and respectfully makes the following recommendations: • Kate Brun, Micrcgreen Grower, to replace Brent Barbee as a full member. • Mary Blakeney a retired Guidance Council with Concord Planning and Zoning Commission experience to replace David Rhodes as a full member. • Wade Holland, Project Manager and member of the Piedmont Farmers Market Board of Directors to replace Shannon Johnson as an alternate member. Mary Blakeney serves as an alternate on the Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning Commission. An exception to the "multiple service" provision of the Appointment Policy is needed for Ms. Blakeney. The "Agency Represented" designation describing initial appointments to the Cabarrus Food Policy Council has been reorganized to represent components of the food system instead of specific occupations. The goal is to ensure a broad representation on the Council while allowing the flexibility necessary for the Council to make productive membership recommendations to the Board of Commissioners when new members are needed. The following breakdown describes the suggested categories of representation: 21 Members 2 Alternates Food Production 4 Food Distribution 3 Medical Industry 2 Food Preparation 2 Education 2 Finance 2 Hunger Relief 1 At -large 5 As the Food Policy Council was not fully structured with Standing Committees and bylaws governing the business of the Council until the beginning of 2011, it is respectfully requested that the terms of the initial appointments be reset to reflect a one, two or three year term ending on December 31st, 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Burrage and unanimously carried, the Board appointed Kate Brun and Mary Blakeney to the Food Policy Council to complete unexpired terms ending December 31, 2012, including an exception to the "multiple service" provision of the Appointment Policy for Ms. Blakeney; and appointed Wade Holland (alternate) to the Food Policy Council for a one -year term ending December 31, 2012. By the same vote, the Board reset the remainder terms of initial appointment to reflect one, two and three year terms ending on December 31 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
