The <br />applicants being presented were related to those positions. Attorney Shuler <br />recommended that each applicant be reviewed individually. <br />The first committee was the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), <br />which had one vacancy. Two applicants applied: Wendy McDaniel Vocelle, currently <br />a Children's Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) Grants Subcommittee member, <br />and Desiree Samuels -Shultz. <br />Chairman Flescher revisited a point made during the January meeting about individuals <br />serving on multiple committees. Commissioner Earman expressed a preference for <br />limiting members to one committee at a time. Additionally, the discussion centered <br />around the potential consideration of term limits for member -at -large positions, <br />acknowledging that while some members had commendably served for long periods, <br />it was important to recognize their contributions without rigidly enforcing term limits. <br />Attorney Shuler reminded the Board that they had the authority to remove any <br />member from a committee for any reason, applicable to both designees and individual <br />appointments.
