Reminder of CRC (Charter Review Commission) Public Hearing
Please help get out the word about the CRC public hearing on
Wednesday, January 20, 2016, at 7:30pm, in the County Council
building (100 Maryland Ave, Rockville 20850).
You can tell all your friends and acquaintances that while the CRC is focusing on an amendment to the County Charter to allow elections to fill vacancies of more than three years in the office of County Executive, we welcome all citizens to the public hearing to tell us about any changes they wish to see in the County Charter. They can find a copy of the County Charter at http://bessel.org/charter/charter.htm or they can email or call our staff aide, Josh Hamlin at Joseph.Hamlin@montgomerycountymd.gov to obtain a paper copy of the Charter.
Although it is not required, it would help us if those who would like to testify at the CRC hearing on January 20 would contact Josh Hamlin or me --- besselpaulm@comcast.net --- ahead of the public hearing so we will know who to expect and what you plan to talk about. Those who contact us ahead of time will have priority in speaking at the hearing. If there are not a lot of people asking to testify there will not be any time limits.
I have been speaking about the CRC, the County Charter, and our public hearing, at meetings of the county's Citizen Advisory Boards and at political and all other meetings where I can obtain an invitation. If you know of similar groups, please let me know and I'll be glad to attend and give a short presentation.
Please also remember that the CRC will have its usual monthly meeting on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, at 8am in the morning, in the 6th floor meeting room of the County Council building, and we plan to continue to meet every 2nd Wednesday of the month at that same time and in that same place every month. We try to finish our meetings by 9am and we definitely finish by 9:30am at the latest. All our meetings are open to everyone so please feel free to invite anyone to join us.
