Re: Recommended Appointments
Dear Chair Price:
The Commission for the Environment (CFE) has received resignation letters from members
Jeremy Marzuola and K. Alan Parry. The Commission has reviewed applications and
recommends that the following applicants be appointed to the Commission:
• Taylor Oakley to the At Large position#6
• Ian Morse to the At Large position#11
The CFE would benefit greatly from the background of these applicants.
Eric Scheier, a member of the Commission for the Environment also recently provided his
resignation letter. In the future CFE hopes to recommend a candidate for this vacant position,
after engaging residents through outreach to apply to CFE at upcoming community-oriented
events in Orange County.
Thank you for your consideration of these appointments.
Sincerely,

Ethics Guidelines
Ethics Guidelines for Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions
I agree by my signature below that, if appointed, I pledge to comply with the following ethics
guidelines for advisory boards and commissions as adopted by the Orange County Board of
Commissioners.
• Conflict of Interest
1. During advisory board meetings, a member shall immediately disclose any potential
conflict of interest and request to be excused from voting when he or she has a conflict of
interest.
2. During appeal proceedings, the applicant has the right to question the interest of any
voting member. The advisory board chair should consult with the County Attorney or
staff attorney on any potential conflict of interest in appeal matters.
3. In determining from existing facts and circumstances whether a conflict of interest exists
the determining party shall consider the facts and circumstances as would an ordinary
and reasonable person exercising prudence, discretion, intelligence, and due care.
• Gifts
1. An advisory board member shall not directly or indirectly ask, accept, demand, exact,
solicit, seek, assign, receive, or agree to receive any gift or honorarium for the advisory
board member, or for another person, in return for being influenced in the discharge of
the advisory board member's official responsibilities.
2. This section shall not apply to gifts or awards authorized by Orange County Policies,
Resolutions, or Ordinances.
• Code of Ethics
1. Advisory board members should act with integrity and with independence from improper
influence as they exercise the functions of their offices. Characteristics and behaviors
that are consistent with this standard are:
1. Adhering firmly to a code of sound values.
2. Behaving consistently and with respect towards everyone with whom they interact.
3. Exhibiting trustworthiness.
4. Living as if they are on duty as appointed officials regardless of where they are or
what they are doing.
5. Using their best independent judgment to pursue the common good as they see it,
presenting their opinions to all in a reasonable, forthright, consistent manner.
6. Remaining incorruptible, self-governing, and not subject to improper influence, while
at the same time being able to consider the opinions and ideas of others.
7. Disclosing contacts and information about issues that they receive outside of public
meetings, and refraining from seeking or receiving information about quasi-judicial

13
matters outside of the quasi-judicial proceedings themselves.
8. Treating other advisory boards and advisory board members and the public with
respect, and honoring the opinions of others even when they disagree.
9. Being careful not to reach conclusions on issues until all sides have been heard.
10. Showing respect for their appointed office and not behaving in ways that reflect
badly on the office, the advisory board, Orange County, or the Orange County
Board of Commissioners.
11. Recognizing that they are part of a larger group and acting accordingly.
12. Recognizing that individual board members are not generally allowed to act on
behalf of the board, but may only do so if the board specifically so authorizes, and
that the board must take official action as a body.
13. Being faithful in the performance of the duties of their offices.
14. Acting as especially responsible residents whom others can trust and respect.
15. Faithfully attending and preparing for meetings.
16. Carefully analyzing all credible information that is properly submitted to them, and
when applicable, being mindful of the need not to engage in communications
outside the meeting in quasi-judicial matters.
17. Being willing to bear their fair share of the board's workload.
18. To the extent appropriate, they should be willing to put the board's interests ahead
of their own and shall avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest and shall, under
no circumstances, use their position on any board for personal gain or profit.
2. Members of the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment, Economic Development
Commission, and Board of Equalization and Review shall upon initial appointment, and
prior to December 31 annually thereafter, disclose:
1. Any interest he or she or his or her spouse or domestic partner has in real property
situated in whole or in part in Orange County and the general description of that
property.
2. Any legal, equitable, beneficial or contractual interest he or she or his or her spouse
or domestic partner has in any business, firm or corporation, which is currently
doing business with Orange County pursuant to contracts awarded by Orange
County, or which is attempting, or has attempted in the past calendar year, to
secure the award of a bid from Orange County or the approval of any Board or
Agency of Orange County.
3. Failure to file a disclosure statement setting out the above required information shall
result in immediate removal of the member from the applicable board.

Age Range: 35-59
Community Activities/Organizational Memberships:
UNC Board of Visitors
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
None, this would be my first Orange County volunteer role
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Commission for the Environment
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have owned a solar energy construction, development and financing business for 13 years. My
current company provides capital and development services for solar, biogas, battery storage,
and other renewable and sustainable infrastructure projects. I am an active member of the NC
Sustainable Energy Assoc and the Renewable Natural Gas Coalition.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I have dedicated the last 13 years of my life to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions by
accelerating the adoption of solar energy through multiple renewable energy businesses. My
family and I live in a solar-powered, energy efficient home in rural Orange County and I want to
give back to my local community. I want to use my business and personal experience, and my
passion for a cleaner environment, to help improve the lives of those living in and around the
county that I love and call home.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
I have been actively developing, building, and financing solar and biogas projects since 2007. 1
founded Leyline in 2017 to focus on providing capital for renewable energy projects at the most
critical time—during a project's development. Because we come in and provide much needed
funding in the early stages of a project I am in a unique position to see a lot of different types of
commercially viable technologies and solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (solar,
biogas, CO2 capture/sequestration, battery storage, small hydroelectric, fuels cells, and waste to
value projects, to name a few).
I would contribute to the diversity of viewpoints by bringing a perspective that is focused on
understanding the types of projects and solutions that work today, are financeable, and are
15
Page 2 of 2 Erik Lensch
being deployed at a rapid pace to reduce our carbon footprint. I see project opportunities in CA,
the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, the northeast and south, as well as Canada and western
Europe. So I would bring a national and international perspective, what is being done in other
communities around the US. I bring a project financing point of view—what cannot get financed
won't get built, and what won't get built won't help us slow down global warming.
I am passionate about reducing our carbon footprint and my company only finances projects that
seek to achieve this goal. My dad had a solar energy business back in the late seventies and
early 80's. I like to say that he was 30 years ahead of his time, and we don't have the luxury of
waiting another 30 years to create lasting, positive change.

None
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Commission for the Environment
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
A chemical and nuclear engineer who retired as a Senior Executive at the US Environmental
Protection Agency with expertise in global climate change mitigation and air pollution control.
See my recent climate change paper https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/mrs-energy-and-
sustainability/article/we-are-losing-the-climate-change-mitigation-challenge-is-it-too-late-to-
recover/7EABEBD608FC3C651 FE75931 1319E7157/core-reader
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I wish to assist the county in moving toward a low carbon future
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
-1 have studied the global climate challenge in depth, read my paper:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/mrs-energy-and-sustainability/article/we-are-losing-the-
climate-change-mitigation-challenge-is-it-too-late-to-
recover/7EABEBD608FC3C651 FE75931 B19E7157/core-reader)
I have concluded the following:
-The climate challenge is daunting and will require all the countries of the world to drastically
educe emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)within the next 5-10 years.
-If we don't, the impacts in mid and especially later this century will be severe. Violent weather,
droughts, flooding are key impacts that Orange County will have to deal with.
-It should be remembered that current U.S. emissions are only about 16% of the global total and
Orange county's under 0.2 % of the global total.
17
Page 2 of 2 Frank Princiotta
-Note that not just CO2 but methane and nitrous oxide emissions need to be reduced
dramatically as well; this is not possible without fundamental changes in our meat-based diets.
So if appointed to the board I will argue that preparing for what are likely to be serious climate
impacts should be a top priority, also known as adaptation. Of course we need make decisions
at the county and household levels to reduce our GHG footprint. We also need to encourage
Electric Utilities to decarbonize their power generation systems as soon as possible. I am well
versed on these issues as well.
Let me know if additional information would be helpful.
