The question, as printed on the ballot
This Charter Amendment changes the membership of the Board of Recreation and Parks by increasing the number of at-large members from three (3) to four (4) and provides that district-level members are appointed based on recommendations from County Council members. The amendment also amends and modernizes the Board duties to reflect both current board practices and its role to serve in an advisory capacity to the Department of Recreation and Parks. This would amend Section 533 of the Baltimore County Charter.
A “Yes” vote means
A yes vote adds a fourth at-large member to the Board of Recreation and Parks, has council members recommend district members, and makes its advisory role explicit.
A “No” vote means
A no vote keeps the current membership and duties of the Board of Recreation and Parks.
