Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett is seeking applicants to fill three vacancies on the Dickerson Area Facilities Implementation Group for representatives of the affected upcounty community.
The purpose of this Group is to address community and environmental issues and concerns pertaining to the County's solid waste facilities located in the Dickerson area. These facilities include the Resource Recovery Facility, the Yard Trim Composting Facility, properties originally purchased for the Site 2 landfill, and property associated with the Linden Farm (formerly called the Matthews Farm).
Membership in this Group includes 12 voting members, including representatives of Sugarloaf Citizens Association, For a Rural Montgomery (FARM), representatives from the towns of Poolesville and Barnesville, the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, the Upcounty Citizens Advisory Board, and six representatives of the affected community. Six non-voting members include representatives of the Operator of the Resource Recovery Facility, the Operator of the Montgomery County Compost Facility, the Operator of the Dickerson Mirant facility, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
Members serve three-year terms without compensation. Meetings are held at least quarterly at 7:30 p.m. at 20900 Martinsburg Road in Dickerson.
Applicants of diverse backgrounds, professions, gender, geography, disability and ethnicity are encouraged to apply. An application, consisting of a brief cover letter and resume, should be sent by mail to County Executive Isiah Leggett, 101 Monroe Street, 2nd Floor, Rockville, MD 20850, or by email to countyexecutive.boards@montgomerycountymd.gov.

The deadline for application is November 13.
Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time. Members of this board are eligible for reimbursement for travel and dependent care for meetings attended. Leggett’s appointments are subject to confirmation by the County Council. Applications of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
