Currently, the Commission has the ability to have 24 total members. I don't believe in recent memory has the Commission operated at full membership capacity. At this time, due to term limits and resignations, there are 12 active members- one-half the designated number. At our September 12, 2012 monthly meeting we discussed the optimal desired number of Commission members. Of course, integral to that conversation was expressed interest in diversity and geographical representation among the HRC. In addition, given our current Building Integrated Communities Initiative we may want to add members from the immigrant population to the Commission with your approval. And,we also continue to include women's issues on our agenda and thus continue to try to recruit interested women for the Commission. Thus, the Commission unanimously agreed that 18 instead of 24 would be the optimal size for its membership. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this question and make a recommendation. Should you need additional information please feel free to contact me at colinaus(c�gmaiLcom. Thank you for the opportunity to serve. 7 Town jek- 4 1 �Scurrol h Sime 1154 RESOLUTION REQUESTING TWO APPOINTMENTS TO SEATS ON THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners initially has the authority and responsibility to appoint members to the Human Relations Commission; and WHEREAS,the current volunteers are willing to serve, NOW, THEREFORE,THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH RESOLVES: Section 1.
