The Orange County Board of Supervisors held its regular meeting on October 22, 2024, focusing on several key appointments to local boards and committees. The meeting began with discussions on nominations for various positions, including the Barbersville Village Overlay District Advisory Committee and the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT).

Supervisor Andy Rainer was nominated to serve on the Barbersville Village Overlay District Advisory Committee. Additionally, Robin Breckenridge was appointed to fill two vacancies on the CPMT and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Citizens Advisory Council, following the departure of the former social services director.

The board also considered the reappointment of Beate Casati to the Tourism Advisory Committee, with plans to fill a vacancy without disrupting current members. The discussion highlighted the importance of ensuring continuity within the committee while also allowing for new appointments.

A significant point of discussion was the upcoming deadline for nominations to the Board of Equalization, which must be submitted to the circuit court by January 15, 2025. The board agreed to prioritize this in their December meetings to allow adequate time for the court's processing.

In addition to these appointments, the meeting included a public comment session, where community members were invited to share their thoughts and concerns. The board's focus on local governance and community involvement underscores its commitment to addressing the needs and interests of Orange County residents.

Overall, the meeting emphasized the board's proactive approach to filling key positions and ensuring effective governance in the community.
