DUNCAN SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR THE
UPCOUNTY CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD        For Immediate Release (Feb.18, 1997)


     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill eleven
vacanies on the Upcounty Citizens Advisory Board.  One vacancy is for a
partial term expiring in May 1998.  Nine incumbents are eligible to apply for
reappointment.
     The Citizens Advisory Board represents more than 210,000 residents in
the upcounty area, north of Shady Grove Road and including the communities of 
Clarksburg, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Germantown and Poolesville.
     The 20-member Board advises the Director of the Upcounty Regional
Services Center, the County Executive, and County Council on area needs and
priorities such as transportation, human services, environment, public safety
and other issues of local importance.  It also reviews and comments on the
County's capital and operating budgets and master plans; assists with
strategies to tailor services to regional needs; and conducts workshops and
forums.  Some members represent the Board on other ad hoc committees. 
     Members serve three-year terms without compensation, meeting the second
Monday evening of every month and occasionally on Saturdays.  Members are
expected to serve on at least one subcommittee, which meets approximately one
evening every month on its own schedule.
