Subject: FW: Stay on OCAC Board Until Replace is Found?
Importance: High
Donna & Jeannette,
Please put the name of Leah Rade on the BOCC's April 91" agenda for an "extension" of her term (until her replacement
is found).
This is because of the need for experienced board members for Spring 2013 grant allocation in June, 2013. (The state
Grassroots funds are paid out to grant recipients in our Spring cycle.)
I'll let you know when I hear back from my other two (Charles Hochman & Bronwyn Merritt).
Thanks!

Since you have each served 2 terms, and if you want to be able to stay on the OCAC board until your
replacement is appointed, we will need to get permission from the BOCC for an extension of your term.
New General Advisory Board policies state that "extension of a member's term may be approved by the Orange
County Board of Commissioners if it is determined that it is in the best interest of Orange County to allow an
individual to continue to serve."

I just mention this because we have Spring 2013 grants to award in June, and I'm not sure we'll have your replacements
in place by that time.
If you'd like your term to be extended (for as much as 1 more year, or until your replacement is found), I need to know
ASAP.
The Clerk's office will need this info. from me by March 25th at the latest (in order to get this on the BOCC's April
9th agenda).
Please let me know ASAP whether or not you are interested in this.
