Washington County needs volunteers to serve on advisory boards
Washington Board of Com ­
missioners is seeking volun­
teers to serve on various
boards, committees, and com ­
missions that advise the Board
on matters of interest to people
who live and work in Washing­
ton County. Committees, them ­
selves, do not pass ordinances
or establish policy; their pur­
pose is to study issues and
make recommendations.
Serving on an appointed
board or commission is a great
way for W ashington County
residents to participate in deci­
sions that affect them and to
learn more about how local
government works. Members
must be residents of Washing­
ton County.
The following boards are
currently seeking applications
for new members:
Commission on Children and
Families (CCF) (3 current va­
cancies)
Description: W orking with
many partners, the Commis­
sion looks at conditions in the
community that affect children
and families and recommends
planned strategies and funding
to improve those conditions.
The Washington County Com­
mission on Children and Fami­
lies is pa rt of a statew ide n e t­
w ork of commissions. In addi­
tion to recommending funding
for key services for children
and families, the Commission
administers a small grants fund
to support the development of
assets in the community.
Land Use Ordinance Adviso­
ry Committee (LUOAC)
(1 term to expire 10/31/03)
Description: An amendment
to the County Charter estab­
lished LUOAC to describe pro-
posed technical changes to the
County's land use regulations
in a way the general public can
easily understand. LUOAC's
five members read all proposed
land use ordinances and pre­
pare notices describing them
which are mailed to a list of in­
dividuals who request individ­
ual notification. The Committee
also drafts the Annual Land
Use Notice that is mailed each
fall to Washington County prop­
erty owners. This notice in­
cludes a general description of
the County's process to adopt
land use ordinances and how
someone can receive individual
notice of each proposed ordi­
nance.
County staff to develop pro­
gram and funding alternatives
and makes recommendations
to the Board of County Com­
missioners.
