Metcom Task Force to Hold Public Forum

Last year, the Maryland Legislature authorized a Task Force, comprised of St. Mary’s citizens, to review and study “the governance and structure” of the Metropolitan Commission (MetCom).

As part of this study the Task Force members would like to gather comments from the citizens of St. Mary’s County. MetCom was created by the Maryland Legislature in the 1950’s to supply public water and sewer services to St. Mary’s County.

Public Forum: Wed. January 27, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
County Governmental Center, Chesapeake Building, Leonardtown

The Task Force is asking members of the development, engineering, and surveying community as well as members of the building trades to attend this forum and provide comments concerning the Metropolitan Commission. Customers of MetCom also are encouraged to attend and offer comments. In case of inclement weather, the forum will have a rain date of Wed. February 10.

Citizens are also invited to send in written comments: The MetCom Task Force, c/o John Savich, County Administrator, St. Mary’s County Government, P.O. Box 653 Leonardtown MD 20650.
All comments given at this public forum and received by mail will assist the members of the task force as they make their recommendations in their Summer 2010 report.

There are ten task force members appointed by the St. Mary’s County legislators, the County Commissioners and the Metropolitan Commission. The co-chairs are Joseph Densford and MaryLynn Stone. Other members are F. Elliott Burch, Jr.; Ford Dean; Shelby P. Guazzo; Glen Ives; Robert Jarboe, Susan McNeill; James W. Spence, and Frank Taylor.

The public forum can be seen live on Ch 95 or on the county’s website at http://www.stmarysmd.com/ (click on Ch. 95). The Ch 95 schedule can be checked on the county’s website for rebroadcast dates. Minutes of previous meetings of the Task Force are available upon request to the Public Information Office at pio@stmarysmd.com.
