PURPOSE: To consider making two appointments to the Human Relations Commission
(HRC).
BACKGROUND: There are ten vacancies on the HRC: five of them, At-Large; two for the
Town of Carrboro; one for the Town of Chapel Hill; and two for the Town of Hillsborough. In one
of the Carrboro seats, Ms. Josephine Leak Harris, whose second term expired in June, 2001,
continues to serve until a replacement is appointed.
The membership sub-committee met last summer to review the Interest List and made one
recommendation to appoint Mr. William T. Hendrickson to an At-Large Position.
The committee is further reviewing the Interest List for other recommendations, as well as
having contacted the Town Clerks of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough requesting
nominations for their positions. Further contact will be made with the Town Clerks to encourage
participation on the HRC by those Towns. Also, the Orange County Clerk's office will continue
to advertise those positions.
One nomination recently came forth from the Carrboro Board of Aldermen to appoint Mr.
Damon Seils, whose application and Resolution to Recommend is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider appointing Mr. William T. Hendrickson to the Human
Relations Commission to an At-Large position for a full term to expire June 30, 2006;
furthermore, consider appointing Mr. Damon Seils to the Carrboro position to an unexpired term
to expire June 30, 2004.
