Council Direction Statement
The Advisory Board Recruitment & Appointment Policy includes information that works to recruit a diverse applicant pool from the community, and to also give direction on how these applicants are brought forth to the Town Council for appointment considerations as it relates to a diverse applicant pool. This policy has been reviewed using the Racial Equity Lens and the Racial Equity Commission (REC) has reviewed and offered comments/feedback. This completed lens can be found in Attachment D with feedback in red text from the CORE team & REC. Further, the Rules & Procedure of Town of Carrboro Boards & Commissions Administrative Policy is a policy used internally primarily by staff liaisons and board chairs. Although this administrative policy is similar to the Recruitment & Appointment Policy, it does have varying guidelines. As a result, this administrative policy will soon be evaluated also using the Racial Equity Lens.
