The question, as printed on the ballot
(Resolution No. 18-26) To amend the Anne Arundel County Charter to establish staggered terms for the appointees to the Planning Advisory Board and to require County Council confirmation of County Executive appointments to the Planning Advisory Board. Currently, the members of the Planning Advisory Board are appointed by the County Executive and serve terms coterminous with the County Executive or until their successors are appointed.
A “Yes” vote means
A yes vote gives the seven Planning Advisory Board members staggered four-year terms (after staggered first terms) and requires County Council confirmation of appointees.
A “No” vote means
A no vote keeps board terms tied to the County Executive's term and lets the County Executive appoint members without Council confirmation.
