You,

that

the
event
the
fiscal
year

operating
budget

not

satisfy
the
terms

and
this
is
always
the
time

year
that

That
is
a
little
bittersweet
because
we
will
be
saying
goodbye
to
our
student
board.
Member
lucia
has
served
us
well
and
ably
for
the
past
year
and
we
she
is
an
outstanding
young
woman.
We
are
very
excited
for
her
next
adventures
into
the
world
and
we
have
we
wish
her
all
success
and
have
no
doubt
that
she
will
do
very
well.
A
So
thank
you
so
much
lucia
for
your
time.
Here
we
have
a
lovely
clock
for
you
as
well
that
you
can
keep
there
to
keep
you
on
navy
time
as
you
enter
into
your
rotc
world,
so
miss
nally.
C
I
have
been
impressed
with
your
maturity,
your
consideration
of
each
and
every
we've
had
some
very
difficult
decisions.
Lucia
has
not
been
one,
I
know
there.
Sometimes
people
say:
oh
the
student
board.
Member
just
does
what
the
board
tells
her
to
do.
Absolutely
not.
She
is
very
well
thought
thinks
it
out
studies.
The
issues
comes
prepared.
C
You
are
very
impressive
and
I
just
know
that
norwich
will
is
gaining
a
hero,
so
we
will
miss
you
greatly,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
hard
work.
It
is
extremely
difficult
to
be
a
student
and
a
very
successful
student
and
and
follow
through
on
all
the
things
that
the
board
membership
requires.
You,
a
lot
of
people
think
it's
two
meetings
a
month.
Lucia
has
made
it
much
more
than
that.
She
has
attended
many
many
events
graduations.
C
We
can
always
count
on
her.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
for
everything
you've
done
for
for
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools,.
D
E
Absolutely
I
want
to
echo
the
saying
you
have
been
wonderful,
you
have
been
as
you
and
I
have
talked
each
month.
I
think
most
people
know
that
I
I
meet
with
the
president
of
the
board
once
a
week
and
I
meet
with
each
member
of
the
board
once
a
month
and
I
come
out
to
chesapeake
science
point
and
we
meet
in
the
principal's
office,
principal's
conference
room
and
you
always
come
prepared.
You
always
say
yeah.
E
I've
got
a
couple
questions
and
you
pull
up
your
phone
and
you're
always
ready
for
for
me,
and
we've
got
lots
of
questions
and
lots
of
things
to
talk
about
you've
taken
the
post
very
very
seriously.
You
took
the
election
by
your
colleagues
the
students
of
around
county
very
seriously,
and
you
represented
them.
Well,
you
are
a
student
voice
both
out
here
around
the
county
and
in
closed
session,
and
it
was
it's
been
incredibly
impressive.
E
We
know
you're
off
to
great
things,
you're
going
to
do
wonderfully
well
in
the
rotc
unit
at
norwich,
and
I
know
that
you're
going
to
make
yourself
and
your
family,
your
parents,
proud
and
you'll
do
the
same
for
us.
We
have
a
couple
of
things
for
you:
one
is
you'll
notice.
This
is
now
missing
from
your
parking
space
at
chesapeake
science
point.
So
you
can.
E
I
don't
know
if
you're
allowed
to
have
this
at
norwich,
but
you're
more
than
welcome
to
take
that
with
you
or
maybe
you
can
come
up
with
your
own
parking
space
at
norwich,
so
that
is
for
you
and
from
your
year
with
us,
we've
had
design
and
print
pull
some
of
the
pictures
of
your
time
around
with
us
and
around
the
county.
B
Globe,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
add
I
I
think
to
to
what's
been
said.
You
know.
Certainly
mrs
nally
hit
a
lot
of
the
the
key
points
that
I
was
going
to
say.
I
think
she
was
copying
off
of
what
I
had
written,
but
I
didn't
have
any
notes.
B
I
I
just
want
to
add
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
and
it's
it's
really
been
a
true
honor,
to
work
together
with
you
over
the
the
last
year,
and
I
I
think,
as
as
mrs
hummer
said,
it's
always
bittersweet.
We
know
we're
not
saying
goodbye.
We're
sort
of
saying
see
you
later,
but
we
we
also
know
that
the
next
four
years
you
know
we
we
may
part
ways,
hopefully
just
temporarily,
as
I've
said
in
in
prior
years.
B
I
think
you've
raised
the
bar
continued
the
race
to
raise
the
bar
for
this
position
and
I
think,
you've
paved
the
way,
the
way
for
others
to
follow
in
your
footsteps
and
and-
and
I
know
that
your
successor
will
will
continue
to
do
well,
as
as
you
have
I,
I
also
on
a
personal
note,
want
to
say
it
was
really
an
honor
to
attend
your
graduation
party.
I
have
never
been
to
a
party
like
that,
and
you've
got
some
moves.
I
mean
I
I
I
I
saw
all
all
of
the
parties.
E
B
But
the
experience
of
that
night-
and
I
know
mrs
corblax
not
here
as
well,
but
she
and
her
husband,
you
know,
would
say
the
same
thing
that
that
was
such
an
amazing
party
and
and
to
be
part
of
the
samoan
community.
That
night
was
was
just
an
amazing
experience.
B
It
was
said
by
many
that
night
that
they
are
so
proud
of
you
and
all
that
you've
accomplished
and
that
you're
one
of
the
favorite
daughters
of
the
samoan
community,
but
I
would
just
say,
you're
also
one
of
the
favorite
daughters
of
anne
arundel
county
and
also
one
of
the
favorite
daughters
of
the
state
of
maryland.
G
They
make
me
look
good
as
I
help
them
look
good
as
well
and
to
everybody
in
the
audience
who
are
always
answering
my
questions
if
I
send
emails
and
everything
and
to
everybody
and
the
students
who
have
helped
support
me
in
ways
that
I
can't
say
and
miss
peligram
for
helping
me
as
well,
and
I'm
going
to
keep
it
short
because
I'm
honestly
holding
back
tears.
But
thank
you,
everybody
so
much.
I
am
so
honored
to
be
here.
G
I
know
josie
is
going
to
do
great
things
in
my
position
next
year
and
I'm
excited
to
see
her
up
here
next
meeting
and
again
sorry
it's
redundant,
but
thank
you
guys
so
so
so
much.
A
Anyone
so
well
I'll,
say
dr
arlatto,
and
I
had
the
pleasure
monday
of
going
out
to
brooklyn
park
middle
school
for
the
opening
day
of
the
summer
farmers
market
that
we
have
out
there.
It's
a
wonderful
partnership
that
we
have
with
schlegel
farms.
I
think
this
is
the
third
year,
and
so
it
reached
out
to
the
community
and
they
have
and
all
sorts
of
community
groups
are
out
there.
So
there's
the
police
and
the
fire
and
the
library
so
kids
can
come
and
get
free
books.
They
can
pet
comfort,
the
dog
they
can
get.
A
Recreation
parks
is
there.
They
had
yoga
demonstrations
so
every
monday
that
will
be
going
on
and
our
summer
meals
started
monday
as
well.
We
have
over
40
sites
throughout
the
county
that
will
being
served
for
40
meals
and,
I
believe,
miss
reecey
says
their
goal
for
the
summer
is
150
000
meals,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
she
will
hit
that
coming
out.
So
hats
off
to
the
food
nutrition
services
for
the
great
things
they
do
for
our
kids
all
all
year,
long,
not
just
during
the
school
year.

J
J
A
A
J
M
A
A
A
A
E
A
A
E
J
A
A
A
O
And
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
prepare
for
you
to
give
you
a
briefing
regarding
the
budget
that
was
adopted
by
the
county
council
on
june,
the
14th
of
2018
regarding
our
fy
2009
operating
budget.
You
should
have
a
summary.
That's
been
passed
out
regarding
the
county
council
approved
budget,
and
we
will
quickly
walk
you
through
some
of
the
highlights
on
the
revenue
side,
which
is
the
money
coming
into
the
district.
O
We
asked
the
state
for
state
funding,
increase
of
nine
million
five
hundred
forty
two
thousand
dollars
year-over-year
difference,
meaning
that
we'll
get
363
million
dollars
from
the
state
and
remember
the
state
is
formulaic
that
in
fact
was
agreed
to
by
the
county
council
so
that
state
funding
contingent
stood
as
requested
by
the
board
from
county
government
sources.
We
asked
for
50.9
million
dollars.
Year-Over-Year
increase
19
over
18
was
the
official
request
that
was
adopted
by
the
board
and
put
forward
to
the
council.
O
The
county
council
agreed
to
provide
687
million
dollars
just
slightly
in
excess,
meaning
that
the
year-over-year
increase
was
27.9
million
dollars
again
deported
asked
for
50.8
million.
It's
important
to
note
that
here
in
maryland,
we
have
the
maintenance
of
effort
provision
that
requires
a
sort
of
formulaic
driven
calculus
that
keeps
flat
funding
based
on
student
enrollment
growth
or
decline.
We
are
in
growing
district
when
running
those
computations.
O
The
maintenance
of
effort
level
for
anne
arundel
county
for
the
year
ahead
would
be
approximately
12.6
million
dollars.
So
the
budget
that
was
approved
by
the
county
council,
27.9
million
dollars,
does
exceed
the
state
maintenance
of
effort
provisions
on
the
local
front.
The
county
council
concurred
with
690
000
of
revenue
increase.
O
All
of
the
unrestricted
elements
remain
essentially
the
same
on
the
expense
side
we'll
go
through
those
in
a
little
bit
more
detail,
then.
So,
if,
as
you
recall,
in
terms
of
the
compensation
placeholders,
the
board
of
education
had
asked
essentially
for
the
equivalent
of
a
full
step
increase
for
those
eligible
employees
in
represented
units,
as
well
as
a
two
percent
cola.
That
was
the
official
request
of
the
board
of
education.
O
The
final
adopted
budget
adopted
by
the
county
council
alliance,
with
the
recommendations
that
were
put
forward
by
the
county
executive
and
that
essentially
provides
for
the
equivalent
of
a
full
year
step
increase
for
those
employees
eligible
and
then
a
mid-year
implementation
of
a
step
for
those
employees
eligible.
Naturally,
that's
entirely
contingent
upon
successful
negotiated
agreements,
but
it
would
provide
sufficient
funding
to
implement
something
in
line
with
that.
O
Should
that
be
the
desire
of
the
bargaining
units
and
this
board
in
terms
of
the
employees
share
of
health
care,
the
board
of
education
had
asked
for
4
million.
Ultimately,
3
million
dollars
is
what
is
being
provided
for
within
this
budget.
That
value
has
arrived
that
in
collaboration
with
the
county
government
as
well.
You
know
that
we
have
been
very
aggressive
in
terms
of
identifying
funds
within
our
board
of
education's
budget
to
move
over
into
the
health
care
arena
and
we've
passed.
Second
and
fourth
quarter.
O
O
We
are
expanding
our
contract
schools
most
notably
that
in
annapolis,
as
you
recall,
they
have,
by
schedule
by
contract
an
enrollment
increase
coming
into
your
head,
as
well
as
all
of
our
charter
and
contract
schools.
All
four
of
them
have
a
commensurate
ppe
funding
allocation
increase,
which,
when
our
tides
rise,
our
boat,
their
boat
rises
to
the
same
degree.
O
O
Happily,
the
entire
request
to
open
the
much
anticipated
kerry,
whedon
pre-k
center
in
south
county
was
fully
funded,
as
was
the
triple
e
contingent
to
expand
triple
e
to
now
the
sixth
cluster
in
the
county,
that
being
the
annapolis
cluster
twelve
and
a
half
positions,
the
county
council
agreed
with
the
two
technical
adjustments
at
no
additional
cost
for
the
hr
payroll
technician,
as
well
as
the
professional
growth
and
development
specialist.
O
The
budget
that
was
ultimately
approved
by
the
county
council
aligns
with
the
supplemental
budget
that
was
put
forward
by
the
county
executive
in
the
days
preceding
the
final
budget,
adoption
and
funded
four
ftes,
those
four
being
distributed
as
follows:
two
psychologists
and
two
social
workers.
So
it's
two
and
two.
O
Going
down
in
the
school
counselor
arena
the
board
of
education's
final
budget
that
was
transmitted
to
the
county
executive
on
the
14th
of
I'm
sorry
on
the
first
of
march,
requested
14.4
school
counselors,
ultimately
4.0
school
counselors
were
approved
and
again
this
was
as
a
result
of
the
county,
executive's
supplemental
budget
and
the
county
council
agreed
to
uphold
that
supplemental
budget
in
the
area
of
special
education,
staffing
for
enrollment
13
positions
were
originally
requested.
O
O
Ultimately,
86
positions
were
funded.
As
you
may
recall,
44
of
those
86
positions
were
initially
recommended
within
the
county.
Executive's
budget
request
the
county
council's
actions
added
to
42
additional
positions
to
that
rising
the
total
fte
increase
year
over
year
to
86
and
then
finally,
the
final
year
of
the
fiber
ring
expansion.
And,
as
you
know,
you
recall
you
had
a
presentation
for
mr
lyons
from
the
county.
This
has
been
a
multi-year
herculean
effort
to
build
out
a
very
robust,
secure,
underground,
high-speed
data,
fiber
ring
that
connects
all
county
buildings,
including
schools,
public
safety,
etc.
O
O
Ultimately,
129
ftes
were
approved
at
the
bottom
line:
the
board
of
education
all
in
requested
just
under
55.2
million
dollars
of
revenue
increase,
which
would
have
amounted
to
a
point.
Seven
eight
percent
year-over-year
increase
the
budget
was
adopted
by
the
county
council
on
the
14th
of
june,
approved
a
revenue
increase
again
from
all
sources:
net
of
29
million.
Ninety
four
thousand
three
hundred
dollars,
which
is
a
two
point:
five
nine
percent
budget
increase
I'll
just
say
in
closing.
It
almost
seems
like
the
budget
process
never
ends.
O
We
began
back
in
september,
dr
lotto
put
forward
his
budget
in
december.
This
board
put
forward
their
budget
in
the
end
of
february.
The
county
executive
did
so
as
of
may
1,
and
the
county
council
did
so.
As
of
june
14th,
the
results
of
the
budget
before
you
all
that
not
fully
funded
are
really
a
testament
to
the
amount
of
work
but,
more
importantly,
the
amount
of
collaboration.
I
know
that
there
was
extensive
dialogue
with
the
superintendent
in
this
board.
This
board
took
great
care
to
listen
to
the
public
comment
and
input.
O
There
was
a
lot
of
dialogue
between
this
board
and
the
superintendent
county
executive
and
his
staff.
Again
he
took
a
lot
of
input
in
from
the
public
and
finally,
the
county
council
did
the
same
so
while
not
fully
funded.
This
is
a
very
good
budget
and
I
believe
it
puts
us
in
a
position
to
open
our
schools
in
the
year
ahead,
albeit
we're
going
to
have
to
do
some
adjustments,
as
we
always
do
and
I'm
sure,
under
the
guidance
of
the
superintendent.
M
I
understand
the
limitations
of
money,
but
as
a
growing
county,
we
must
truly
evaluate
the
needs
of
the
school
system,
our
teachers
and
our
students,
to
hopefully
one
day,
be
not
only
the
number
one
school
system
in
the
united
states
because
of
the
rate
of
graduates
that
we
produce,
but
also
because
of
the
teachers
pay
and
the
student
services
that
are
given
to
our
students,
but
also
to
be
the
number
one
county
with
its
services
and
its
amenities
right
now.
M
The
county
has
great
amenities
and
great
services,
and
we
have
to
work
towards
our
school
system
that
way
too.
We
have
covered
at
this
point
the
bare
needs
of
our
teachers
and
our
students
ratio,
but
steve
shu
and
the
city
council.
I
really
understand
that
they
have
truly
tried
their
best
based
on
what
the
county
budget
has
been.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
I
echo
those
words
and
I
again
appreciate
I
think,
mr
jack
novich,
you
guys
your
team
has
done
a
marvelous
job.
This
has
been
a
hard
budget
year.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
support
and
the
listening
we
did
listen.
C
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
think
we
don't,
but
the
this
board
has
listened
and
so
have
have
county,
executive,
stu,
shu
and
and
the
county
council,
and
I
appreciate
that
sometimes
amelie
brandenburg
is
not
mentioned,
but
I
want
to
mention
her
because
she
is
the
liaison
for
county
executive
shu,
and
I
know
that
she
has
well
maybe
not
pulled
all
of
her
hair
out,
but
some
of
it
during
this
process.
Thank
you,
amy,
and
with
that
I
again,
I
think
that
this
goes
is
is
a
good
is
a
good
compromise.
C
I
do
think
that
we
still
have
great
needs
as
mentioned,
and
I
hope
this
collaborative
atmosphere
will
continue.
This
board
really
really
took
this
budget
extremely
seriously.
C
Each
of
us
and,
as
dr
alato
has
said,
we
meet
with
dr
lotto.
We
tell
him
our
concerns.
We
we
have
we've
worked
very
hard
and
to
to
analyze
and
look
at
all
the
needs
of
of
our
school
system,
so
none
of
our
amendments
were
made
lightly.
None
of
them
were
made
without
deep
thought
and
concern
for
the
children
of
our
county
and
the
teachers.
Thank
you,
mr
gilliland.
B
I
do
have
one
question
that
I
wanted
to
ask,
but
you
know
just
again:
I
I
think
to
to
jump
on
the
bandwagon
as
well
and
say
thank
you
certainly
to
county
executive,
steve
schuh,
members
of
the
council
and
and
certainly
miss
brandenburg
and
and
we
could
talk
about
a
whole
bunch
of
different
categories,
but
but
one
in
particular
is
just
the
mental
health
support
services,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
went
in
to
that
area
that
that's
just
one
area,
I
think,
since
the
start
of
the
school
year
and
then
with
a
number
of
events
that
have
occurred
nationwide,
you
know
that's
just
a
critical
need
area
for
us
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
attention
that
that
is
is
getting
now.
B
My
question
is
on
the
the
state
budget
category
analysis
and
I
I
think
it's
just
you
know
really
to
get
your
your
insight
and
perspective,
but
then
also
to
clarify
what
what
potentially
could
lead
lead
to
some
concerns,
if
not
clarified,
and
that
is
on
the
moi
line
or
instruction
supplies
and
materials
where
we've
got
what
looks
to
be
from
one
fiscal
year
to
the
next.
O
So,
essentially,
the
obviously
it
funds
instructional
supplies
and
materials,
but
within
that
that
real,
it
really
comes
down
to
two
different
major
elements.
O
The
first
is
moi:
that's
materials
of
instructions
that
are
ployed
out
into
the
schools,
essentially
on
a
per
capita
or
student
enrollment
basis,
no
reductions
in
this
budget
in
any
way
shape
or
form
or
reducing
the
amount
of
monies
that
are
being
sent
out
to
our
125
plus
elementary
schools,
so
the
amount
of
dollars
that
they
have
to
work
with
in
terms
of
principal's
discretion,
department,
discretion,
etc.
All
of
that
is
going
to
remain
untouched.
O
We
have
budgeted
historically
or
the
budget
was
adopted
by
the
board,
had
set
aside
about
10
million
dollars
for
what
we
call
sta
single
tax
adoption.
As
you
know,
we
cyclically
try
to
replace
textbooks
about
every
six
to
seven
years.
Some
analysis
is
done
about
which
textbooks
need
to
be
replaced,
etc,
and
then
part
of
that
money.
Also
funds
consumables,
so
while
the
textbook
can
remain
in
use
for
many
many
years,
a
lot
of
these
books
come
with
consumables
or
manipulatives.
O
O
We
were
faced
with
some
very
tough
decisions
this
year,
budgetarily
mr
gillanland,
and,
as
you
know,
in
an
era
where
we
do
have
fiscal
constraints,
I
mean
we
understand
the
dynamics
of
the
county
and
the
revenue
constraints
that
are
placed
upon
that
and
the
tough
position
that
our
fiscal
authorities
I
mean
the
county
executive,
managing
the
budgets
and
the
sister
agencies,
such
as
ours,
as
well
as
the
county
council,
was
placed
in
trying
to
as
miss
sasso
said,
take
a
look
at
all
of
the
public
services
and
all
the
public
benefit
and
goods
that
we're
trying
to
support.
O
Just
shy.
Well
shy
of
the
106
that
our
calculation
should
we
needed
for
that.
Year-Over-Year
break-even
point
of
106.
O
and
it
wasn't
without
deliberation,
because
his
budget
request
had
a
lot
of
the
other
items
in
our
budget
funded.
So
he
made
it.
He
made
a
decision
that
he's
rationalized
and
espoused
upon
on
may
1st,
but
the
county
council
heard
a
tremendous
amount
of
input
again
in
terms
of
the
public
hearings
about
class
sizes
increases,
and
so
the
county
council
was
very
focused
on
trying
to
identify
resources
to
put
forward
towards
that.
O
Madam
auditor,
miss
dickinson
for
the
county
identified
a
lot
of
areas
that
the
county
council
could
consider
trimming
in
other
areas
of
county
government
and
redeploying
those
resources
potentially
towards
additional
teachers
for
enrollment
and
the
county
council
in
collaboration
with
the
county
executive
administration.
In
some
cases,
in
some
cases,
unilaterally
accepted
many
of
miss
dickerson's
recommendations,
and
that
did
in
fact
allow
some
additional
teachers
for
enrollment.
O
O
O
You
know,
six
to
seven
to
eight
year
sort
of
plan
and
the
curriculum
and
instruction
department
are
very
deliberately
analyzing.
Where
is
the
best
place
to
make
a
one-year
deferral,
but
in
exchange
for
that,
we
did
get
those
additional
teaching
positions.
Mr
goland.
A
I'll
just
echo
what
my
colleagues
have
said.
This
is
really
there's
some
a
lot
of
board
discussion
on
the
budget
up
here,
but
there's
an
awful
lot
more
hard
work.
That
goes
on
with
the
staff
and
the
county
and
board
members
and
county
councilmen
kind
of
behind
the
scenes,
and
this
has
been
an
ongoing
discussion
and
collaboration
for
the
past
couple
of
months.
I
and
I
am
grateful
to
everyone
from
the
county
side
and
the
school
system
side
and
on
the
board
side
for
all
that
hard
work.
A
The
expansion
of
pre-k
to
south
county
is
is
huge
and
that
will
fill
a
great
need
as
well
as
triple
e
in
annapolis.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
thing,
but
we
all
have
to
say
this
is
still
does
not
meet
all
the
needs
of
our
county.
This
is
going
back
many
years,
many
administrations.
This
is
not
the
fault
of
anyone
who's
in
authority
now,
but
our
schools
have
not
been.
A
The
funding
has
not
been
keeping
up,
and
while
these
additional
teachers
are
great,
our
class
sizes
probably
will
go
up
with
these
based
on
enrollment
and
we're
not.
We
are
not
addressing
we're
not
addressing
enough.
The
mental
and
social
health
issues
of
our
students,
nor
of
our
english
language
learners.
So
all
those
things
are
short,
so
everyone
needs
to
continue
fighting
for
those.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
considering
everything
that
we've
heard
up
here
is
there
any
mechanism
that
this
board
has
to
request
additional
monies
for
the
upcoming
year.
A
There
is
not
the
the
system
that
has
worked
is
that
we
present
our
budget.
It
goes
to
the
county
executive,
he
works
his
budget,
then
it
goes
to
the
county
council
and
then
they
fund.
A
We
can
certainly
continue
meeting
with
county
councilmen
and
the
county
executive
and
letting
them
know
what
our
needs
are.
But
there
is
not
a
mechanism
to
go
back,
for
instance,
and
appeal
this
budget
and
say
that
we
would
we
would
like
more
so,
but,
as
we
said,
many
people
have
been
working
very
hard
over
the
past
couple
months.
This
is
the
budget
that
we
have
and
we
will
continue
to
start
working
for
the
next
budget
to
continue
with
that.
A
O
A
M
O
If
you
look
at
the
red
white
and
blue
sheet,
I'll
simply
walk
you
through
some
of
the
highlights
and
some
of
the
changes
that
have
transpired
from
when
we
last
met
after
the
county
executive
had
introduced
his
budget
proposal
on
the
1st
of
may
in
the
far
left
column
at
the
highest
level.
You'll
see
that
the
request
from
the
board
of
education
officially
amounted
to
216
million,
and
that
is
a
combination
of
state
and
county
resources.
The
budget
was
ultimately
approved
by
the
county
council
was
190
190.3
million
dollars.
That's
at
the
macro
level.
O
Now
the
important
thing
to
note
there.
In
that
left
hand,
column
is
the
budget
that
was
originally
proposed.
As
of
may
1,
when
the
county
executive
initially
put
forward
his
budget
had
157.7
million,
and
so
what's
changed
between
157.7
million
and
190.3
million.
The
substantive
change
really
had
to
do
with
edgewater
tyler
heights
and
richard
henry
lee.
O
As
you
know,
the
those
three
items
were
in
fact
included
in
the
county
executive's
proposal
as
of
may
1,
but
there
was
not
sufficient
funding
to
start
to
aggressively
start.
The
construction
of
those
projects
early
in
the
year
I.e
tail
end
of
summer
early
fall.
It
would
have
provided
sufficient
funding
for
us
to
get
those
projects
started,
but
in
mid
to
late
spring
there
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
energy,
as
you
know,
through
the
course
of
the
public
hearings
at
all
levels.
O
O
And
that's
not
just
at
the
county
level
too.
Our
state
officials
also
heard
from
a
tremendous
amount
of
individuals
that
wanted
to
be
able
to
get
those
projects
going
the
county
executive
and
his
staff.
Much
like
the
social
emotional
issue.
He
spoke
about
earlier
huddled
up
with
his
team
and
developed
a
way
to
issue
a
supplemental
budget
that
advanced
those
projects
forward
from
the
initial
concept
that
was
deployed
on
may
the
1st
to
these
these
new,
more
aggressive
funding
schedules.
O
So,
by
way
of
example
and
I'll
walk
you
through
all
three
edgewater
elementary
school
was
originally
recommended
for
4.2
million
dollars.
Now
the
rec,
the
adopted
budget
by
the
council
funds
edgewater
at
16.7
million,
the
initial
request
for
tyler
heights
was
funded
at
4.4
million
dollars
that
has
been
increased
to
15.2
million
dollars
and
again
richard
henry
lee,
which
was
originally
funded
at
3.1
million,
has
increased
to
15.6
million
dollars.
O
Much
like
the
operating
budget
has
took
a
tremendous
amount
of
collaboration
on
the
part
of
the
county.
The
county
has
just
like
on
operating
side
has
capital
debt
affordability
issues
that
they
need
to
wrestle
with.
They
need
to
try
to
maintain
their
aaa
bond
rating.
So
do
we
get
preferential
interest
rates
and
we
don't
overpay
on
the
mortgage
per
se
general
obligation
bonds.
O
It
took
a
herculean
effort
on
the
part
of
the
county
to
to
essentially
make
this
work.
If
you
don't
know
a
little
point
of
personal
privilege,
mr
hammond
county
budget
director,
this
is
his
last
budget.
He's
announced
his
retirement
after
many
many
many
years
of
shepherding
this
county
through
thick
and
thin
financially,
but
mr
hammond
and
his
team
and
the
county
executive
found
a
way
to
put
money
in
for
these
three
projects
check
to
make
sure
it
wouldn't
hurt.
Our
credit
rating
wasn't
violate
any
of
our
capital
debt
affordability
limits.
O
They
were
very
creative
in
the
way
they
did
it,
but
thankfully
the
funding
did
materialize
for
those
three
projects
and
ms
seaman
crawford
and
her
team
are
actively
engaged
in
getting
all
three
projects
off
the
ground,
and
for
that
we
are
very
thankful.
The
one
piece
I
will
as
a
sideline
say
that
you
don't
see
here.
Is
you
remember
that
the
account
executive,
along
with
many
members
of
this
board
and
superintendent,
attended
a
an
announcement
back
at
annapolis,
high
school
regarding
security
funding?
O
That
funding
is
not
here
that
is
going
to
come
over
to
us
as
part
of
a
first
quarter,
transfer
budgetarily,
so
we're
working
collaboratively
with
the
county
administration
and
county
council
to
facilitate
that.
So
don't
be
alarmed
that
you
don't
see
that
number
here,
that's
in
the
works
and
with
that
we'll
turn
it
over
to
you
and
your
colleagues.
Madam
president,.
A
That
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
that
security,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that's
coming
through
is
that,
yes,
I
want
to
give
a
big
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we'd
keep
these
elementary
schools
on
track.
I've
been
seeing
numerous
pictures
on
facebook
from
the
families
of,
and
teachers
of
richard
henry
lee
as
they
pack
up
and
how
excited
they
are
that
their
school's
coming
through,
so
that
is
going
to
be
mean
a
great
deal
to
all
of
these
communities.
A
M
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
praise
the
steve
shoe
on
the
county
council
is.
It
is
very
important
that
we
let
the
community
see
that
we
look
at
the
minority
schools
as
much
as
we
look
at
the
other
schools,
because
these
three
schools
are
very
much
located
in
low-cost
area,
low-cost
housing,
low-cost
income
and
throughout
the
last
years,
what
we
have
basically
developed
constructed
redone
have
been
those
at
severna
park,
crofton,
which
are
considered
middle
class,
the
white
population.
M
A
J
A
All
right,
as
we
move
on
to
the
next
item,
the
operating
budget,
as
adopted
by
this
board
a
few
minutes
ago,
you
utilizing
funding
provided
by
the
county.
The
fine,
which
is
the
final
fiscal
authority,
does
not
fully
fund
agreements
approved
by
the
board,
with
the
teachers,
association
of
anne
arundel,
county,
the
association
of
educational
leaders
or
the
american
federation
of
state
county
and
municipal
employees.
Those
are
our
unit
1
unit,
2
and
unit
3
employees.
A
No
agreement
has
been
reached
to
date
with
our
unit
4
employees,
represented
by
the
secretaries
and
assistance
association
of
anne
arundel
county.
As
per
the
motion
offered
by
mr
gilliland
and
approved
by
the
board
earlier
in
this
meeting,
the
board
will
now
consider
terms
of
employment
for
employees
in
these
bargaining
unions,
units
terms
of
employment
for
unit
one
and
continuing
through
terms
of
employment
for
unit
4
employees.
The
board
will
then
take
up
agenda
item
5.11
terms
of
employment
for
unit
5
and
unit
6
employees,
so
miss
rawls.
K
Good
morning
again
my
name
is

rawls
and
I
am
the
director
of
employee
relations.
The
fiscal
authorities,
as
you
just
mentioned
for
anne
arundel
county,
did
not
provide
sufficient
funds
in
the
fy
2019
budget
to
fully
fund
the
negotiated
agreement
between
the
board
of
education
and
the
teachers
association
of
anne
arundel
county.
Accordingly,
pursuant
to
provisions
of
the
education
article
and
the
tax
negotiated
agreement,
the
parties
must
enter
into
renegotiations
regarding
applicable

Thank
you,
madam
president,
before
we
adjourn,
I
just
want
to
recognize
mr
rinehart's,
son
and
daughter
are
here
with
us
today.
Cameron
is
a
rising
fourth
grader
at
lincoln
elementary
school
and
clara
is
a
rising
third
grader
at
linthicum
elementary
school.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
today
and
supporting
dad.
A
N
The
thing
we
talk
about
our
child
care
program
and
the
meals
at
that
program
is,
you
know
you.
The
school
day
is
a
long
day
and
kids
are
excited
at
lunch
time.
They
probably
don't
necessarily
eat
as
well
as
they
should,
because
they're
excited
they
want
kids,
finally
get
a
chance
to
talk
to
their
friends
and
be
with
their
friends
some
at
the
end
of
the
day,
after
a
long
school
day,
they're
hungry.
F
N
They
come
to
our
program,
they're,
expecting
good
food
and
it
is
very
important,
and
so
that
is
the
next.
