APPLICANTS NEEDED FOR ORANGE COUNTY
ANIMAL SERVICES HEARING PANEL POOL
ORANGE COUNTY, NC (October 5, 2018) – One major way citizens can have a positive impact on the future of Orange County is to volunteer to serve on the various advisory boards and commissions.
Currently there are four openings on the Animal Services Hearing Panel Pool. Openings include: one At-Large, one Town of Carrboro resident, one Town of Hillsborough resident, and one Public Safety Field Orange County resident.
The charge of the Animal Services Hearing Panel Pool is to hear appeals concerning violations of the Orange County Code of Ordinances, Animal Control Ordinance and also potentially dangerous dog appeals. It is the responsibility of pool members to conduct fair and impartial hearings for these appeals. Members will receive training in both law and proper procedure prior to participating in a hearing. Pool members are sought from the Towns of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill and Carrboro as well as unincorporated Orange County. Appeals panels will be convened on an as needed basis for hearings.

Orange County strives for diversity on volunteer advisory boards. Minorities are encouraged to apply. Applicants must reside in Orange County. Volunteers appointed by the Board of County Commissioners have an opportunity to influence the way of life in Orange County.
