Those members are as follows: • D.R. Bryan — current Chair (representing the Core Business sector) • Tom Underwood (representing the Core Business sector, and serving on the Small Business loan Program's lending approval committee) Delores Bailey (representing the Non - Profit sector) • Nickolas Thomas (representing the Entrepreneurial sector) With respect to their interest to continue to serve on my department's advisory board and seek a reappointment, I have contacted each member. - Torn Underwood is planning to retire from his current occupation as manager of PHE, Inc. in Hillsborough, and has decided to step down from the advisory board. He replied that the County will be best served by a new representative able to serve a new multi -year term. Prior to the BOCC deciding to replace Mr. Underwood on my board I would like to request additional time to search for additional qualified candidates who can apply for the open position and fulfill the Core Business sector. D.R. Bryan, Delores Bailey and Nickolas Thomas have all replied verbally or in writing to me that they enthusiastically agree to be reappointed for a new term, if the BOCC agrees to that action. Consequently, I request that the BOCC approve their reappointment. As you know, the Orange County Economic Development office's advisory board was reformed in 2012, following 2 years with no board in place. In 2012 the BOCC selected 10 new advisory board members from a list of applicants representing several targeted business sectors (Agriculture, Core Business, UNC, Non Profits, Entrepreneurial, and Tourism) that are meant to add experience and leadership to the advisory board. Over the previous 18 months the advisory board has begun to make progress with several goals, such as formulating basic guidelines about how to administer Article 46 funds (1/4 cent sales tax funds for economic development) for the Business Investment Grants and Agriculture Grants. The advisory board, which meets every other month, has begun to form working subcommittees among its members, with several pending reports now in progress. In conclusion, it is desirable that D.R. Bryan, Delores Bailey and Nickolas Thomas be reappointed to the advisory board so they may continue their contribution to Orange CountV and our economic development goals.

Conflict of Interest: 19 Page 2 of 3 Jon Arvik Economic Development Advisory Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: See (1) above; in addition, my most recent positions involved the application of specific technical and business management capabilities to economic growth for private, academic, and government agencies. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: It has been made plain that the BOCC has made every effort to increase the public good without a commensurate increase in taxes. However, it is necessary that continued growth of populations and public services will require an increase in income from new tax resources such as a growing tax base of successful businesses.

I would bring with me my knowledge of marketing to a diverse set of audiences as well as understanding of the principles of marketing. My board service, current and past, has informed my desire to help promote our county as a destination. I lived in Chapel Hill for 11 years and have lived in rural Orange for 24 years. My current and past board and volunteer experience in mental health, education, and at the chamber level enable me to bring a broad perspective to any endeavor. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I see tourism and visitors services as a tool for economic development. Yes, it is an industry that gives a community opportunities to improve itself from a visual and experiential perspective. But beyond that, it is industry and we need that -- as long as it is consistent with our values -- to grow our tax base. This in turn enables us to continue to have jobs to our residents and to build our capacity to serve our most vulnerable populations. This is not an easy balance, but one that I m proud our county attends to. Conflict of Interest: We live in a small community and there is always a need to check ourselves and our motives when it comes to conflicts of interest. I have prior and current working relationships with Orange County Government and have done work for the Visitors Bureau. I would not entertain work for financial compensation with the latter while serving on its board. I am assuming the board has a conflict of interest policy and, if so, would abide by it.

Co- organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. I am passionate about pushing forward Orange County's economic development efforts. I see this as a social justice issue in that we're creating jobs for those who live here or want to live here. I also see economic development as critical to nurture if we want to continue offering the quality of life we already have while also expanding efforts in other areas -- social services, recreational opportunities for residents. We must have a county -wide perspective while respecting the unique characteristics of each area or municipality within. It would be an honor to serve.
