RE: ~ Orange County Jury Commissioner Bob~Hall
Dear Ms. Baker:
I bring to your attention the expiration of the term of Bob Hall, the appointee of the Orange
County Commissioners, to our jury commission. As you know, I do not serve on the jury
commission but my office is charged with providing clerical support tt~ it. In that role I have
worked with Mr. Hali along with his fellow jury commissioners in the preparation of the master
jury lists since 2003. I have found Mr. Hall to be competent and conscientious in his approach to
his duties. I feel comfortable in stating my belief that his fellow jury commissioners would join
in my opinion. Therefore please inform the Orange County Board of Commissioners of my
endorsement of the reappointment of Mr. Hall to the Orange County Jury Commission.
Sincerely,
C. St f~rd
cc: Mr. Bob Hall
