County Board Discusses Filling Vacancy on Committee for Advisory Roles

The Richland County Committee on Committees meeting held on August 25, 2025, focused on key appointments and vacancies within local advisory boards. A significant discussion centered around the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) agent advisory position, which allows community members over the age of 60 to participate without needing to be board members.

Participants were encouraged to express their interest in joining the ADRC advisory group, with instructions to contact Roxanne at the ADRC for further steps. The process involves gathering interested candidates and then forwarding recommendations to the full board for a final vote.

Additionally, the meeting addressed a vacancy within the Committee on Committees itself. It was noted that the county board would need to elect a new member during the upcoming meeting. The committee typically seeks to gauge interest from board members before making any recommendations for the position.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the importance of community involvement in local governance and the ongoing efforts to fill advisory roles that support county initiatives. The next steps will involve outreach to potential candidates and a formal election at the next county board meeting.
