The Board of Appeals operates independently from both the legislative and executive branches. The County Council appoints the seven Board members to four-year terms coterminous with their own. The board renders final decisions on appeals related to zonings, licenses, permits, and executive, administrative and judicatory orders. Appellants of decisions who are not satisfied with the decision of the board may subsequently pursue their case in Circuit Court. Members of the Board of Appeals (as of 01/07):
Carroll Hicks, D - Severna Park
William Knight, D-Hanover
Andrew Pruski, D-Gambrills
Jim Rzepkowski, R-Glen Burnie
William Moulden, R-Sherwood Forest
Arnold McKechnie, R-Davidsonville
John Boring, R-Arnold |
