The County Council is looking for applicants for two open Planning Board spots, though the people in those seats now are expected to re-apply.
The first terms of Commissioner Norman Dreyfuss and Chair Casey Anderson expire on June 14.
The Council tabbed Anderson to move from a commissioner’s seat to chair of the Board last year, making it seem unlikely that he would be replaced now.
Nonetheless, the Council is accepting applications for both positions with a deadline of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29.
The Board provides the Council with recommendations on zoning and land use issues in area-wide master plans. It also reviews and approves all individual development proposals, plus approves the operating and capital budgets for Montgomery Parks.
The five members serve four-year terms and are limited to two full terms. Annual salary for the commissioners is $30,000, while the chair earns $200,000.
The Board meets every Thursday, third Wednesday of each month and during additional meetings. According to a County Council advertisement for the job, a Board member spends about two full days a week on average in scheduled and informal meetings. Additional time is needed for prep work.
