Council Direction Statement
The Town Council follows the Advisory Board Recruitment and Appointment Policy which was adopted on 11-21-2017. Text amendments to this policy were approved by the Town Council on 12-1-2020 and 4-13-2021, respectively, to the section entitled "Composition" which related to expanding the racial and ethnic diversity on advisory boards and commissions. It should be noted that the Advisory Board Recruitment and Appointment Policy has been evaluated using the Racial Equity Lens tool, has been reviewed by the CORE team, and will be sent to the Racial Equity Commission for the next step in the review process. This review process should be completed by May 2023. Further, it should be noted that CTDA appointments fall under the section entitled "Appointments to Authorities" within the Advisory Board Recruitment and Appointment Policy which states the following: "The OWASA Board of Directors and Tourism Development Authority are considered "Authorities" under NC General Statutes. The Town Council will consider applications for those authorities and be responsible for making appointments as they are directed per law. The Council may at times choose to interview applicants for the representative seats by any method that they choose. All appointments will be made in open session by the ballot procedures established in the policy."
