Each of them is finishing their initial appointment for a partial term and they have confirmed their interest in reappointment. Cathy Munnier who has completed the required training and served on several hearing panels. Daniel Ryan who is expected to complete the required training by the end of the month. He has not yet had the opportunity to serve on a hearing panel. Amanda Schwoerke who has completed the required training and served on 2 hearing panels. Edmund Tiryakian who has completed the required training. He is one of the three members of the pool from the Animal Services Advisory Board. He has chaired a number of panels. Tony Whitaker who has completed the required training and served on 2 hearing panels. Ms. Hannah Abernathy has declined to be considered for reappointment. In doing so, she cited her job search upon completion of law school later this month and philosophical differences with the Unified Animal Ordinance. Thus there will be two vacant positions in the pool if the BOCC reappoints the 5 individuals mentioned above. These positions are for residents • With experience in the field of public safety • Who reside within the municipality of Carrboro Currently,there are no applicants with public safety experience or who reside within the municipality of Carrboro. 8 Finally, I also wanted to take this opportunity to update you and the BOCC about the training process for pool members. A videotape has been created to train the members of the Animal Services Hearing Panel Pool who were not able to attend one of the training sessions offered to date (it is available on line at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gH8gAR7CrY). These individuals have been asked to complete the video training by the end of this month and it will now be possible to have any new members of the pool become trained immediately using the videotape. Sincerely, 6/ Mt 'Ar Robert A. Marotto Animal Services Director Cc: Andi Morgan, Assistant Animal Services Director Maureane Hoffman, MD, PhD, Chair, ASAB Molly Mullin, Ph.D., Vice-Chair, ASAB 9 Page 1 of 2 Daniel Ryan Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Name: Daniel Ryan Name Called: Home Address: 201 NC-54 Apt 205 Carrboro NC 27510 Phone (Day): 5164480401 Phone (Evening): 9199517701 Phone (Cell): 5164480401 Email: hawkerz @gmail.com Place of Employment: Sensus Metering Systems Job Title: Software Solutions Developer Year of OC Residence: 2015 Township of Residence: Chapel Hill Zone of Residence: Sex: Male Ethnic Background: Caucasian Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: N/A Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: N/A Boards/Commissions applied for: Animal Services Hearing Panel Pool Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have had dogs and cats all my life, and I care deeply about their welfare. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I know there is a community need for members of this board, so I am willing and able to assist. Conflict of Interest: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have attended numerous meetings of the board of trustees of Carnegie Mellon University, where I earned credits toward a Masters degree in public policy. I also worked for Carnegie Mellon in an official capacity and advised their Dean of Libraries for several years on policy decisions. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I bring technical and administrative knowledge to the table and believe I would be an asset to the board of trustees. I am passionate about community college education as an affordable path to a post-secondary degree. Conflict of Interest: 10 Page 2 of 2 Daniel Ryan Human Relations Commission Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have always worked toward and been passionate about equality, and I constantly devote my energy toward dispelling people of racist, sexist, anti-gay and anti-trans sentiments. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I feel I could make a positive impact and would fight for equality on all fronts. I also believe that I am able to be objective and analytical about issues brought forward. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? I believe that DTCC can expand its offerings to better meet the needs of the community by working with local industry and doing a needs assessment to make changes and additions to available courses of study. Working with local businesses to determine their needs will also create paths to employment, which would enable students to get an associates degree and get out on the job market right away if possible. Many companies are looking for expertise rather than specific degrees, and I feel that DTCC is in a unique position to help accommodate that need.
