Section 15-27 (a) and (b) of the Town Code reads, (a) There shall be a Northern Transition Area Advisory Committee consisting of five members, three appointed by the Orange County Board of Commissioners and two by the Town Council. If the Board of Commissioners fails to make these appointments within ninety days after receiving a resolution from the Town Council requesting that they be made, the Town Council may make them. All members shall be residents of the Northern Transition Area. (b) Members of the committee shall be appointed for three-year staggered terms, but members may continue to serve until their successors have been appointed.
One application was received from Jennifer Conrad, who meets the NTAAC membership criteria. Jennifer's application is attached along with the chair form (Attachment B).
