County Executive Isiah Leggett is seeking applicants to fill one vacancy on the Commission on Common Ownership Communities for a professional associated with common ownership communities, such as an attorney (who represents community associations, developers, housing management or tenants), a person involved in housing development and real estate sales, or a professional community association manager.
The commission has 15 voting members. Eight are unit or lot owners or residents, and seven are professionals associated with self- and professionally managed common ownership communities. The commission advises the County Executive and County Council on common ownership of property, and promotes public awareness of the rights and obligations necessary to maintain property values and quality of life in common ownership communities. The commission conducts administrative hearings, acting as a court of law when disputes are not resolved through the Office of Consumer Protection.
Members serve three-year terms without compensation, but are eligible for reimbursement for travel and dependent care for meetings attended. Meetings are held the first Wednesday evening of each month. There are also monthly committee meetings and hearings. Members are required to file a confidential financial disclosure statement within 15 days of Council confirmation and each annual period thereafter.
