“The Council received a very loud and clear message from residents during the most recent budget process,” said Council Chairman Mel Franklin.  “We need to get the County’s fiscal house in order and create more confidence in how the County manages taxpayer dollars.  We encourage our best and brightest residents to consider serving as a member of the Blue Ribbon Commission as we work to address our long-term budget challenges.”

The Blue Ribbon Commission will consist of 15 members appointed by the County Council in consultation with the County Executive.  Commission members will serve a term of one year.

Residents interested in serving as a Blue Ribbon Commission member should submit a letter expressing interest and resume to ClerkoftheCouncil@co.pg.md.us.   Submission materials may also be mailed to Clerk of the Council; 14741 Governor Oden Bowie Drive; Upper Marlboro, Maryland 20772, or faxed to 301.780.2097.  Deadline for submissions isWednesday July 15, 2015.  No phone inquiries please.
