The Anne Arundel County Council is accepting applications for membership on the Board of Appeals.
The Board of Appeals is a seven-member, quasi-judicial panel that hears and decides appeals from decisions made by county agencies on licenses, permits and zoning as well as opinions issued by the county's hearing officer.
The board meets three or four times a week, usually at night.
Members make daytime inspections of properties that are the subject of hearings.
To qualify for membership on the Board of Appeals, an applicant must be a resident of Anne Arundel County and a registered voter in the county.
Board members are paid $5,250 year and $40 for each hearing, meeting or on-site inspection.
Members must fill out financial disclosure forms provided by the county's ethics commission.
Applicants should submit resumes by 4 p.m. Dec. 23 to Judy C. Holmes, administrative officer of the County Council, at the Arundel Center, P.O. Box 2700, Annapolis 21401.
The County Council will conduct public hearings for all applicants Jan. 3 and will appoint the new board members by resolution at that time.
For further information, call Ms. Holmes at 222-1401.
