Duncan Seeks Applicants For
Countywide Recreation Advisory Board

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill four vacancies on the Countywide Recreation Advisory Board. The vacancies are for alternate member representatives: one expiring in July 2000, two expiring in July 2001 and one expiring in July 2002.

This board advises the County Executive, County Council, and the Department of Recreation on countywide recreation needs, encourages the development of desirable parks and recreational opportunities, and advises and makes recommendations to appropriate officials on matters concerning budgets, recreation programs, services, and facilities.

The board is composed of 21 members (including two representatives from each area board), four alternates, and seven ex-officio members. Alternates serve in place of an absent member and assume a regular member's position if there is a resignation.

Meetings are held the first Monday of each month in the Red Brick Courthouse in Rockville at 7 p.m. In addition, members serve on subcommittees that meet as needed. Members and alternates serve with no compensation.

Interested residents should apply by March 3 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850. A brief resume, including work and home phone numbers, should be enclosed. Individuals representing special populations, minorities, and other special interest groups are encouraged to apply. Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time.

Duncan'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.
