In the week leading up to the Thanksgiving holidays, prior Board of Commissioners Chairman Barry Nelms and outgoing ChairmanGene Gregory communicated a desire to remove themselves frm the various regional advisory boards on which they serve.
An email from Nelms requested that the agebnda for the December 1st commissioners be amended to include acceptance of his resignation from the Albemarle Regional Solid Waste Management Board and the Currituck County
Travel and Tourism Advisory Board. Gwen Keene, clerk to the board of commissoners verified receipt of an email dated Tuesday, November 25 from Nelms, as well as a phone call from Gregory relating that they wished to be removed from the advisory boards on which they currently serves.
Newly selected Board chairman Owen Etheridge stated that he is aware that Nelms and Gregory have asked to be removed from the advisory boards on which they serve. “We have not accepted their resignations,”?Etheridge stated in a telephone interview.
According to Etheridge, Nelms has expressed an interest in remaining on the Albemarle Commissioner Board, and Gregory has requested that he stay on the Albemarle Regional Health Board.
“They requested that all advisory board appointments be put up on the December 1st agenda for reappointment. We said no, the board members want to look at all of the appointments to determin how to divide up the workload.
In addition to the two boards mentioned, Nelms serves on the Economic Development Board.
Gregory serves on the Albemarle Regional Health Board and the Airport Advisory Board.
Etheridge indicated a desire by the current boarto evenly divide the workload of all the advisory board appointments. Etheridge was unclear as to how the Board would approach the task of divying up assignments.
Both Nelms and newly elected District 2 commissioner John Roer were in attendance at the Thursday evening, Economic Development Advisory Board meeting.
