INFORMATION: The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) is a seven member board. There are currently four seats vacant, with another member up for reappointment. Due to the current number of vacancies, EAB cannot meet quorum and is unable to meet.
New applications have been received from Hasan Abdullah, Fernanda Ortiz, Scott Powell, Jess Pusch, Greg Randolph, Riz Rashdi, Karen Stine, and Sarah Zelasky. All applications are included, along with the Chair Reports, as Attachment B. Please note, the Chair Reports were completed by Environmental Sustainability Coordinator and EAB staff liaison, Laura Janway, due to the fact the EAB currently does not have a designated chair in place. Laura has met individually with all these applicants.
Additionally, Namdi Brandon is a current member of EAB, and is eligible for (and interested in) reappointment to another three-year term. Namdi's original application, and chair form, is also included within Attachment B.
In accordance with the Town's Advisory Board Recruitment and Appointment Policy under the Voting Method section, Town Council will vote by ballot provided at the Council meeting. Council members will vote only for the number of candidates that there are vacant seats to fill. The Clerk will then tally the results following the vote. https://www.carrboronc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5358/Town-of-Carrboro-Advisory-Board-Recruitment-and-Appointment-Policy-
