Coates' Canon?;'` a <br />UNC NC Local Government Law <br />http://canons.sog.unc.edu <br />SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT <br />Appointing the initial consolidated human services board: If a BOCC elects Option Two, it will need to appoint <br />a new consolidated human services board. The law includes quite a few details about board composition, terms <br />and term limits, and powers and duties. G.S. 153A -77(c). It also includes a specific process for appointing the initial <br />board. The BOCC must first create a nominating committee that includes members of the current board of health <br />and social services board, as well as (somewhat surprisingly) the board responsible for managing mental health, <br />developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services in the county. The nominating committee then <br />recommends members for the new consolidated human services board and the BOCC makes appointments based <br />upon those recommendations. After the initial board is in place, the BOCC will fill vacancies based upon nominees <br />presented by the members of the consolidated human services board. <br />As I mentioned earlier, this is not a comprehensive look at all of the factors or issues a county will need to consider before <br />moving forward with any change. These are simply some of the quirky process steps associated with this area of the law. <br />Please feel free to share other process tips in the comments field below. <br />The local human services landscape is evolving rapidly these days. We are doing our best to keep track of changes as <br />they are happening so please let me or Jill Moore know if your county is considering or has made a change pursuant to <br />this new legislation. <br />Links <br />• www.ncleg.net/sessions/2011/Bills/House/HTML/H438v5.html <br />• www.ncleg.neVEnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter 153A/GS 153A-76.html <br />• www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter 153A/GS 153A-77.html <br />• www.ncphagencies.unc.edu <br />• www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title5-vol2/xml/CFR-2012-title5-vol2-part900-subpartF.xmi <br />• www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter 130A/GS 130A-35.html <br />• www.sog.unc.edu/about/faculty-and-staff/aimee-n-wall <br />• www.sog.unc.edu/about/faculty-and-staff/fill-d-moore <br />This blog post is published and posted online by the School of Government to address issues of interest to government officials.
