Reives was absent. <br />Chairman Parks called the meeting to order and the following business was transacted: <br />Commissioner Womack delivered the invocation. <br />The pledge of allegiance was recited. <br />The Board considered an appointment to the Triangle South Workforce Development Board. <br />Commissioner Womack moved to accept the application submitted by Mr. Bruce Ledford to fill the <br />position recently vacated by Mr. Ken Armstrong. <br />Commissioner Frazier expressed concerns he had over the rush to make this appointment. He <br />stated he had no problems with Mr. Ledford and was sure he would do a good job on the Workforce <br />Development Board. He didn't understand why a special meeting had to be called to address the <br />appointment; the new incoming Board should have had some say in the appointment. <br />Commissioner Womack stated the outgoing Boards' term has not expired and they wanted to <br />make the last appointment while sitting on the Board. The Workforce Development Board was short <br />staffed when he came on board in 2010 and it has taken a while to get a slate of committed, competent <br />citizens to serve. He further stated he feels the Workforce Development Board is in much better shape <br />with this last appointment. <br />Upon a vote of Commissioner Womack's motion, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Knecht, Parks, Smith, and Womack <br />Nay: Frazier <br />Absent: Reives <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a 5 to 1 vote. <br />
