Page 12 The INDEPENDENT, December 4, 2003 Washington County seeks board members for five committees The following Washington County boards are currently seeking applications for new members: Developmental Disabilities Council (4 terms to expire 12/31/03) Identifies community needs, recommends funding priorities, and helps select and evaluate service providers. The County’s emphasis on contracting with community agencies for social services makes the work of this volunteer advisory council critical. Housing Advisory Committee (2 current vacancies, 1 term to expire 12/31/03) Providing affordable housing is a formidable job. Nine repre- sentatives from real estate, banking, building, agriculture, employment, public housing and neighborhoods help the Housing Services Department and the Board of Commission- ers with this task. The Commit- tee assists by making recom- mendations on housing policy issues and on the use of nearly $1,000,000 annually to build af- fordable housing. Budget Committee (2 current vacancies) Reviews the proposed County budget each fiscal year. Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District Budget Committee (2 current vacancies) Reviews the proposed budg- et for unincorporated Washing- ton County. Members must live in the ESPD. Urban Roads Maintenance District Budget Committee (2 current vacancies) Reviews the proposed budg- et for unincorporated Washing- ton County. Members must live in the URMD.
