City of Rehoboth Beach Establishes Two New Advisory Committees

September 26, 2025

City Streets & Safety Advisory Committee and Environmental Advisory Committee being
created – here’s how to apply

Rehoboth Beach Mayor Stan Mills announced the creation of two new Advisory
Committees: City Streets & Safety Advisory Committee, chaired by Commissioner Mark
Saunders; and Environmental Advisory Committee, chaired by Commissioner Craig Thier.

The mission of the City Streets and Safety Committee is “to gather and curate subjects of
interest, pertaining to the City of Rehoboth Beach, with special emphasis on public safety as
it pertains to our streets, sidewalks, transportation, beach, boardwalk and animal issues.”
The mission of the Environmental Advisory Committee is “to enhance the livability of the
City of Rehoboth beach by focusing on initiatives pertaining to the environment that will
improve the overall experience of residents, commercial partners and visitors.”

Applications are now open for both committees. All applications received by October 10
will be reviewed in preparation for consideration of appointment at the October 17 Mayor
& Commissioners Regular Meeting.

Voting committee members shall be comprised of residents, property owners and business
owners of the City of Rehoboth Beach. The committee shall be composed of seven to nine
members. This committee shall have an odd number of voting members including the chair.
Terms of office are reviewed annually. The Committee meets on an “as needed” basis at
City Hall.

Selection of members is by evaluation of submitted applications (link to application can be
found on the Meetings page of www.rehobothbeachde.gov). If, after reviewing applicant
qualifications including experience and expertise specific to the mission of the committee,
prior board and commission experience particularly in a leadership role (public, private or
non-profit) and applicant availability, there are more applicants than positions available,
preference may be given to former members of the now dissolved committees.

Advisory committee meetings are open to the public and are noticed at least a week prior
to the meeting date. Initial meeting date is to be determined as we establish the
membership roster.

For additional information, please email Ann Womack, City Secretary, or call (302) 227-
6181, or contact the City Streets & Safety Advisory Committee chair, Commissioner Mark
Saunders, at msaunders@rehobothbeachde.gov; or Environmental Advisory Committee
chair, Commissioner Craig Thier, at cthier@rehobothbeachde.gov.
