County Executive Isiah Leggett is seeking applicants to fill five vacancies on the Commission on Common Ownership Communities in the following categories: two residents of self- or professionally-managed common ownership condominiums, cooperative housing corporations or homeowners associations; one person involved in housing development or real estate sales; and two professionals associated with common ownership communities (attorneys, community association managers, or common ownership community investor-owners).
The 15-member commission advises the County Executive and County Council on ways to handle common ownership of property in communities, and promotes public awareness of the rights and obligations of living in common ownership communities so that property values and quality of life in community associations is maintained. The commission conducts administrative hearings acting as a court of law when it holds hearings on disputes not resolved by mediation through the Office of Consumer Protection.
Members serve three-year terms without compensation. Meetings are held the first Wednesday evening of each month. There are also monthly committee meetings and hearings. Members are required to file a confidential financial disclosure statement within 15 days of Council confirmation and each annual period thereafter.
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. Home and employment addresses, as well as contact phone numbers and email addresses should be included. If appropriate, applicants should indicate the position for which they are applying. The deadline for application is November 30.
Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time. Members of this Commission 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.
