Description
Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski is committed to using federal pandemic funding to ensure an equitable recovery for all residents and businesses.
On Nov. 3, we announced spending proposals for Baltimore County’s $160.7 million allocation from the American Rescue Plan.
This meeting is one of two public input meetings where residents and stakeholders are invited to express their opinions on current proposed projects, and offer suggestions for community needs that should be prioritized.
Learn more about this proposal and information on the next community meeting at www.baltimorecountymd.gov/arp.
A
Keeping
the
needs
of
our
businesses,
workers,
entrepreneurs,
nonprofits
and
families
top
of
mind
in
an
effort
to
hear
from
diverse
groups
of
people
to
create
an
equitable
and
sustainable
plan
and
to
also
capture
feedback
with
the
widest
lens
possible.
We
created
a
process
that
allowed
for
conversation
and
dialogue.
A
This
included
formal
meetings
of
the
sub-cabinet
roundtable
discussions
and
opportunities
for
community
feedback
to
us.
The
last
part
community
feedback
is
key,
which
is
why
we
are
here
tonight.
We
are
so
grateful
for
the
participation
that
we
have
received
so
far,
but
we
want
to
continue
the
before
we
kick
off
our
discussion
this
evening.
I
would
like
to
introduce
the
county
executive
in
a
moment
they
will
be
providing
an
overview
of
our
recovery
plan
and
our
proposal
for
baltimore
county's
use
of
these
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funds.
B
Thanks
leonard
and
good
evening,
everyone,
I
am
so
grateful
for
you
all
being
here
and
thank
you
for
our
continued
work.
As
we
are
strengthening
our
communities
in
the
wake
of
the
covid
19
pandemic,
it
has
been
over
a
year
and
a
half
where
we
have
had
a
once
in
a
generation
crisis,
disrupting
our
entire
way
of
life,
and
back
in
march,
president
biden
and
congressional
delegation
passed
the
american
rescue
plan,
which
included
161
million
dollars
to
support
our
recovery
in
baltimore
county
and
apologies
for
not
being
on
camera.
B
I'm
actually
traveling
back
to
my
home
office
from
the
port
of
baltimore,
where
some
of
these
investments
were
were
recently
highlighted
by
by
the
president.
So
I
hope
to
join
you
on
camera
soon,
but
in
the
meantime,
want
to
walk
through
some
of
this
funding,
because
this
is
a
critical
moment
and
we
are
committed
to
getting
it
right.
B
We
know
that
how
we
respond
has
long-term
ramifications
for
our
residents,
which
is
why
we
formed
an
economic
recovery
sub-cabinet,
which
was
chaired
by
director
howie,
to
develop
a
plan
that
equitably
and
sustainably
addresses
all
of
our
needs.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
on
the
team
who
came
together,
creating
a
thoughtful
and
comprehensive
plan,
including
leonard
stacy,
rogers,
our
administrative
officer
and
jasmine
clements,
our
senior
policy
manager,
who
helped
steer
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
the
department
heads
from
across
baltimore
county
who
participated
in
that
work.
B
Over
the
past
several
months,
the
sub
cabinet
met
regularly
and
had
roundtable
discussions
with
workers,
business
owners
and
residents
to
help
develop
that
plan.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
the
stakeholders,
who
have
already
provided
critical
input
and
again
want
to
thank
our
departmental
leadership
for
their
cross-departmental
interagency
effort
that
solicited
what
I
believe
are
the
very
best
ideas
from
across
county
government.
Our
plan
for
recovery
is
a
generational
opportunity
to
build
a
stronger
future
for
all
of
our
communities.
B
B
An
additional
80
million
dollar
will
be
spent
on
our
ongoing
public
health
response
to
the
pandemic.
20
million
dollars
is
currently
unallocated
and
we
plan
to
program
that,
following
public
input,
our
plan
begins
with
investing
unprecedented
resources
in
communities
that
were
hit
hardest
by
the
pandemic
in
eastern
baltimore.
County
essex
has
consistently
faced
significant
challenges,
including
high
poverty,
housing
instability
and
the
county's
highest
opioid
overdose
rates.
These
challenges
grew
even
worse
during
the
pandemic,
especially
as
essex
saw
some
of
the
county's
highest
coveted
rates.
B
So
our
proposal
includes
three
million
dollars
to
support
a
previously
announced
effort,
that's
place-based
and
focused
on
the
essex
community.
This
will
be
a
coordinated
multi-agency
effort
to
target
resources
to
support
this
community
on
liberty,
road
in
western
baltimore
county.
We
propose
to
use
funds
to
create
a
community
development
organization.
B
We
know
the
liberty
road
corridor
is
the
heart
of
randall's
town
and
has
a
concentration
of
commercial
development,
and
for
years
the
community's
been
working
to
create
a
cohesive
sense
of
place,
foster
and
strengthen
the
business
community
with
a
community
development
organization.
We
know
that
we
can
put
the
resources
in
place
to
promote
equitable
business
growth
in
the
randallstown
community.
B
C
B
Served
and
faced
chronic
disinvestment
for
years
or
even
decades.
That's
why
we're
putting
forward
another
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
create
community
equity
districts.
This
will
provide
seed
funding
for
community
development
organizations
to
build
out
community
infrastructure
and
promote
additional
investment.
B
Our
goal
here
is
to
help
vulnerable
communities
in
their
short-term
recovery,
while
fostering
long-term
growth
and
investment.
The
entire
county
will
benefit
from
a
recovery
plan
that
is
built
upon
equity
and
inclusion,
and
that's
what
we're
doing
here
during
the
pandemic.
We
also
know
that
so
many
families
were
faced
with
the
housing
instability
and
an
eviction
crisis
and
with
funding
from
the
cares
act,
we
helped
over
a
thousand
families
stay
in
their
homes
and
now,
as
we're
thinking
about
helping
communities
recover,
we
know
that
we
have
to
do
more
to
strengthen
housing
stability.
B
We
have
a
moral
and
a
legal
obligation
to
expand
access
to
affordable
housing
in
baltimore
county,
so
we're
proud
to
recommend
16
million
dollars
in
funding
for
an
affordable
housing
development
fund.
That
fund
will
do
everything
from
developing
and
preserving
affordable
housing
in
baltimore
county
to
establishing
a
local
housing
trust
fund
and
helping
us
convert
market
rate
units.
B
We
also
know
that
our
business
and
non-profit
communities
have
faced
unprecedented
challenges
during
the
kobe
19
pandemic,
and
while
we
were
proud
to
be
able
to
allocate
over
26
million
dollars
to
hundreds
of
businesses,
we
know
that
some
were
also
not
eligible
for
assistance
under
the
cares
act.
That's
why
we
have
a
grant
program
proposed
to
provide
operational
support
for
those
small
businesses,
especially
those
in
the
service
sector
like
service
and
hospitality
businesses.
B
Importantly,
this
includes
funding
to
support
the
a
e
district
in
catonsville
and
in
another
part
of
the
county.
Other
investments
to
support
our
main
streets
include
three
million
dollars
for
streetscaping
and
funding
for
small
business
consultants
to
support
and
grow
our
small
business
community.
Now
these
are
just
highlights
of
our
plan.
In
addition
to
those
proposals,
we
have
wide
ranging
plans
to
also
support
education,
the
environment
and
the
mental
health
needs
of
our
residents
on
education.
Baltimore
county
faces
a
severe
bus
driver
shortage
and
that's
a
challenge.
B
This
is
exactly
what
recovery
is
about,
supporting
and
retaining
the
best
and
acknowledging
the
work
of
our
hard-working
employees
to
support
the
school
houses.
We're
also
proposing
an
innovative
program
that
addresses
teacher
shortages
in
baltimore
county
last
year.
Over
180
teachers
were
lost
from
baltimore
county,
they
resigned
and
we
know
that's
the
number
that
might
grow
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
over
a
half
of
the
open
teaching
positions
within
maryland.
We
know
are
filled
by
out-of-state
candidates.
B
That's
why
we're
proposing
a
homegrown
teacher
program
to
attract
and
retain
teachers
who
live
in
baltimore
county
and
to
grow
a
diverse
pool
of
teaching
candidates.
It's
a
program
that
includes
one
million
dollars
for
tuition,
grant
funds
over
two
years
that
prioritizes
students
who
are
enrolled
in
undergraduate
or
graduate
teaching
programs
at
our
hbcus
in
maryland.
B
Now,
throughout
this
pandemic,
all
of
us
have
been
tested
and
we
continue
to
see
a
drastic
increase
in
mental
health
challenges
so
to
meet
that
need
we're
investing
in
a
range
of
new
mental
health
resources,
which
includes
mental
health
aid
for
the
public
mental
health.
First,
aid
training
for
the
public
trauma
informed
customer
care
training
for
our
public
facing
county
employees,
a
new
wellness
coordinator
for
baltimore,
county
and
personal
locator
units
for
200
project
lifesaver
participants,
in
addition
to
a
new
mobile
community
center.
B
B
In
another
step
to
support
our
environment,
we
also
propose
6.6
million
to
complete
a
living
shoreline
and
aquatic
habitat
re-establishment
project
along
the
middle
branch
of
the
patapsco
river.
We
also
provide
an
additional
four
million
dollars
towards
trails
and
open
space
at
baltimore
county.
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
for
everyone
who
shared
our
priorities
with
us.
As
we
started
drafting
these
proposals,
we
also
look
forward
to
additional
public
input
tonight
and
at
our
next
meeting
as
we
finalize
these
recommendations.
B
As
we
release
these
recommendations,
we
also
released
a
public
survey.
So,
in
addition
to
tonight's
meeting
and
our
next
public
town
hall,
I
encourage
you,
your
friends
and
family,
to
give
us
that
feedback
so
that
we
can
have
initiatives
that
not
just
help
us
rebuild
our
economy
but
aspire
higher.
It's
going
back
to
where
we
should
have
always
been
so.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
our
many
residents
tonight
who
are
listening
in
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
recovery
plan
and
partnership
with
all
of
you.
B
That's
what
this
administration
has
always
been
about,
and
that's
what
we'll
always
keep
doing
together.
So,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
overview
director,
howie
I'll
turn
things
over,
I
believe
to
momen
yes
boots
here,
who
will
give
a
quick
update
on
how
we
plan
to
use
data
and
other
metrics
around
this
funding.
D
D
D
I
want
to
start
off
by
the
sort
of
mandated
requirements
we
will
have
to
develop
and
track
key
performance
indicators
and
submit
quarterly
and
annual
expenditures
for
all
of
these
different
proposals
and
programs
to
the
department
of
treasury,
and
so
that
is
the
requirement.
But
I
think
where
we
say
here,
baltimore
county
is
ready.
Is
that
we've
been
doing
this
work?
D
We've
set
up
an
infrastructure
around
data
driven
decision
making
and
tracking
and
key
performance
indicators,
and
I
think
you
know
it's
very
easy
for
individuals
to
choose
a
metric
or
or
something
that
just
shows
an
output,
something
you
know
dollar
spent,
or
this
many
you
know
widgets
performed
or
created,
and
and
for
us
here
in
baltimore
county
key
performance
indicators
are
much
greater.
They
have
a
much
bigger
meaning
in
in
many
of
our
meetings.
D
You'll
hear
our
county
administrative
officer
ask
but
who's
better
off
and
that's
the
question
that
we
really
try
to
answer
with
our
key
performance
indicators.
So
what
you're
going
to
see
is
you're
going
to
see
metrics
that
show
different
outputs
but
you're,
going
to
also
see
real
indicators
of
people
being
better
off
and
that
this
money
is
achieving
the
desired
outcome
that
it
has.
D
D
D
They
mentioned
qualified
census
trucks
and
what
does
that
necessarily
mean
that's
sort
of
defined
by
the
department
of
treasury
and
hud
on
the
federal
level
of
areas
that
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
by
by
various
different
things
and
that
are
underserved
and
across
the
country,
and
so
you
can
see
here
highlighted
the
ones
that
are
identified
in
baltimore
county
this,
this
data
and
the
qualified
census
tracts.
They.
D
We
looked
at
various
different
other
metrics,
which
I'll
show
in
the
next
slide
and
and
they
they
are
pretty
much
in
line
with
what
we're
seeing
county-wide
with
various
different
data,
whether
it's
overdoses,
whether
it's
crime,
whether
it's
eviction
risk.
We
look
at
various
different
metrics
and
get
really
granular,
and
we
see
that
there's
definitely
overlap
between
these
areas
and
and
the
areas
we
identify
and
that
the
qualified
census
trucks
are
truly
underserved.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
point
out
this
map,
as
the
first
thing
that
we
do
in
any
of
the
data
analysis
that
we
do.
Is
we
really
try
to
diagnose
and
identify
the
areas
of
need,
and
so
that
that's
the
very,
very
first
step
we
know
the
census
tracts
that
are
underserved
and
we're
aware
of
them
next
slide,
please,
but
what's
unique
with
bc?
Stat
is
the
ability
to
dig
even
deeper,
so
we
know
a
census.
D
Tract
may
be
underserved,
but
how
do
we
really
identify
the
neighborhood,
the
block
the
street?
The
specific
address
that
is
in
need,
that
is
where
bc
stat
has
access
to
various
different
data
sets
on
at
that
granular
level
to
be
able
to
really
identify
within
this
one
census
tract
what
neighborhood
really
has
specific
crime
concerns?
What
area
really
has
behavioral
health
concerns?
What
area
really
has
food
desert?
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
our
ability
to
get
very,
very
granular
with
the
data
and
which
we're
already
doing
these
maps
are
not
we're
not
created
for
this
presentation.
These
are
maps
pulled
from
our
stat
meetings
and
maps
that
we've
circulated
and
discussed
in
depth.
Next
slide.
Please
and
then
the
final
slide
well,
not
final,
second
to
last
slide,
but
this
slide
will
pretty
much.
It
shows
the
eviction
risk
in
baltimore
county.
D
What
I
wanted
to
show
with
this
specific
map
is
that
you
know
we're
able
to
tell
the
areas
that
are
underserved
and
in
need
of
help.
We're
able
to
get
deep
within
those
areas
and
identify
very
specific
areas
that
are
underserved
in
communities
that
are
underserved
and
need
assistance,
but
we're
also
able
to
do
is
take
this
data
and
what
we
do
is
take
this
data
and
actually
use
it
when
we're
implementing
the
deployment
of
a
program
in
those
areas.
D
D
D
And,
finally,
any
grants
grant
distributions
that
occur
will
go
through
the
internal
process
of
review.
But
then,
at
the
very
end
it
will
be
provided
to
the
council
for
with
14
day
notice
of
that
grant
before
it's
expended.
So
so
again,
I
just
do
just
want
to
add
that
we're
not
really
creating
any
processes
to
track
in
terms
of
additional
things.
A
A
moment,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation,
and
I
hope
everyone
really
get
really
got
the
the
gist
of
of
what's
going
on
here.
Transparency
and
accountability
are
not
only
central
to
the
to
these
federal
funds,
but
it's
also
essential
to
how
baltimore
county
executes
under
the
leadership
of
our
county
executive.
So
thank
you
for
that
moment.
Next,
I
would
like
to
really
reiterate
to
set
the
stage
for
what's
going
on
this
evening.
The
county
executive
started
explaining
exactly
what
was
going
on
and
again.
A
I
just
want
to
really
reiterate
what
the
purpose
is
for
today.
The
purpose
is
to
continue
to
collect
feedback
on
our
current
proposals
and
to
listen
to
your
ideas
that
we
can
consider
for
the
future.
We
are
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
each
of
you.
We
ask
that
residents
sign
up
in
advance
via
email
to
testify.
A
A
We
appreciate
your
cooperation
in
advance.
This
will
ensure
that
as
many
residents
as
possible
will
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
if
you
are
in
attendance
and
would
like
to
testify,
but
did
not
sign
up
in
advance,
please
email,
town
hall
at
baltimorecountymd.gov
now
to
be
included
in
today's
lineup.
F
E
Everyone,
this
is
baltimore
county,
councilman
and
chairman
of
the
baltimore
county
council,
julian
jones.
I
just
wanted
to
come
on
and
just
on
behalf
of
myself,
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
baltimore
county
council,
I
just
wanted
to
come
on
and
thank
the
county
executive
oshesky
for
his
continued
collaboration
and
collaborative
approach
by
opening
up
this
process
to
the
public.
I
think
it's
very
important
and
I,
as
always
just
praise
the
county
executive
for
his
approach.
Like
you
said,
director
howie,
this
is
not
a
new
approach.
E
This
is
the
way
he's
been
governing
speech
of
office
and
I
am
personally
excited
about
the
investments
in
our
community.
That's
been
proposed
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
the
citizens
and
their
ideas,
and
I
don't
want
to
take
any
more
time
from
anyone
else.
That's
waiting
to
speak,
but
I'm
excited
about
these
proposals
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
county
executive
for
his
approach.
G
There
we
go.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
okay!
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
howie.
I
would
like
to
to
thank
you
and
thank
the
county
executive
for
hosting
this
meeting
tonight.
One
thing
I
have
said
to
many
people
is:
I've
appreciated
this
administration's
willingness
to
engage
citizens,
the
transparency,
the
openness,
the
public
input
that
is
really
appreciated.
G
G
I
I
do
want
to
pass
along
a
couple
suggestions
that
were
made
to
me
from
my
district,
and
I
shared
news
about
this
meeting
with
85
community
leaders,
so
you
may
hear
from
people
from
towson
loch
raven
perry,
hall
kingsville,
but
the
ones
that
I
got.
I
just
want
to
bring
your
attention
very
briefly,
you're,
going
to
hear
from
residents
of
perry
hall
manor
about
continuing
to
work
with
them
on
the
the
septic
issue.
G
You
know
as
we
look
at
public
health.
That
is
certainly
something
that
I
know
your
administration
is,
is
helping
us
with
you're,
also
going
to
hear
from
people
about
creating
a
sense
of
place,
and
it's
something
I
think
you
you
discussed
when
you
talked
about
places
like
essex,
making
sure
that
we
have
a
sense
of
place.
G
G
Secondly,
continuing
to
advance
the
biermann
property-
and
I
applaud
this
administration
for
for
helping
to
acquire
that
and
then
two
very
small
projects,
there's
a
a
property
in
the
perry
hall,
commercial
revitalization
district
that
many
residents
have
have
thought
might
be
a
very
good
small
pocket
park
and
then
also
the
extension
of
the
northeast
trail
from
silver
spring
road
to
maryland.
43..
G
A
H
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
and
speak
tonight.
One
thing,
I'm
I'm
sure,
a
lot
of
people
don't
know.
Baltimore
county
has
been
extremely
fortunate
that
we
haven't
lost
a
lot
of
our
businesses,
small
businesses
during
this
pandemic,
and
it's
all
because
of
the
investment
that
the
county
executive
and
the
state
have
made
to
our
communities
supporting
our
businesses.
H
They're,
truly
grateful
for
that
support
and
whatever
you
can
do
to
help
and
we're
glad
that
you
highlighted
child
care
issues,
because
that's
one
of
the
great
concerns
that
they
have.
They
can
have
a
problem
getting
staff
because
of
child
care
issues
that
they
have.
We're.
Also
grateful
for
your
investment
and
tourism.
H
Baltimore
county
is
a
wonderful,
wonderful
place
for
people
to
come
and
visit
and
enjoy.
We
have
so
many
wonderful
areas
from
our
our
waterways
to
our
vineyards,
to
all
the
events
that
we
have
throughout
baltimore,
county
and
people
are
into
staycations
right
now
and
we
need
to
share
everything
that
we've
got
going
on
and
we
also
appreciate
the
support
of
our
police
department.
H
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
such
a
good,
strong
police
department
with
good
men
and
women
serving
our
communities,
so
we're
grateful
for
supporting
those
groups
too.
So
thank
you
for
always
bringing
us
to
the
table.
I
don't
just
come
here
as
the
director
of
the
towson
chamber,
but
representing
the
different
chambers
and
business
groups
in
baltimore
county
and
any
way
we
can
assist
in
this
process
we're
here
to
serve.
Thank
you
so
very
much.
A
A
I
I
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
at
the
town
hall
tonight
as
a
part
of
the
20
million
dollars
that
you're
looking
for
proposals,
for
we
would
like
to
propose
a
recruitment
grant
be
created
specifically
for
recruiting
new
providers
into
the
field
of
family
child
care.
This
grant
would
cover
the
cost
of
advertising.
This
initiative,
the
required
training
which
can
cost
over
750
dollars
the
fingerprinting
expenses,
the
fire
inspection
fees
and
the
new
provider's
initial
membership
into
the
baltimore
county,
family,
child
care
association.
I
All
the
expenses
I
just
listed
are
expenses.
A
potential
provider
must
pay
during
the
licensing
process.
All
before
earning
a
dime
after
becoming
licensed,
the
new
provider
would
be
awarded
a
thousand
dollar
grant
to
put
towards
equipment
and
supplies.
He
or
she
needs
to
start
his
or
her
business
off
right.
I
Let
me
go
back
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
membership
into
our
association
and
how
that
will
be
key
to
helping
to
support
and
mentor
our
new
providers
to
success.
The
potential
new
provider
would
receive
much
needed.
Much
needed
support
to
navigate
through
the
licensing
process
and
beyond.
Our
association
offers
monthly
training.
So
all
the
yearly
required
training
providers
need
once
they
are
licensed
they
can
receive.
Through
our
association.
I
We
work
hard
to
keep
our
providers
abreast
on
local
and
national
child
care
issues.
We
also
offer
a
parent
message
board
which
helps
to
support
both
the
providers
and
our
association,
along
with
the
community
at
large
families
who
need
care,
can
contact
our
parent
message
board
and
their
information
is
then
emailed
to
our
members
in
2017
baltimore
county
reported
that
there
were
almost
fifty
thousand
children
under
the
age
of
five.
I
We
know
that
number
has
increased
since
2017,
so
there
are
always
families
looking
for
care
when
we
aren't
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic,
but
we
need
to
ensure
family
child
care.
Programs
are
open
to
support
them.
Our
association
strives
hard
to
help
families
find
licensed
quality
care
and
help
our
providers
to
be
successful
in
their
business.
I
Our
association
also
helps
to
mentor
providers
through
quality
programs
such
as
such
as
maryland.
Credentialing
maryland
excels.
The
national
association
for
family
child
cares
accreditation
program
along
with
making
sure
our
providers
are
aware
of
grant
opportunities
to
continue
their
education,
such
as
an
aa
or
a
ba
degree.
If
the
grant
is
awarded,
it
will
allow
us
to
search
out
new
providers
in
the
areas
of
our
county,
where
we
are
currently
where
we
currently
have
family
child
care
deserts.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
consideration
on
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
K
Has
helped
many
to
decompress
during
a
very
stressful
time
having
a
park
or
green
space
such
as
mcdonald's
field
in
perry
hall,
the
pocket
park
that
david
marks
was
mentioning
or
a
potential
pocket
park
gives
both
children
and
adults
a
way
to
enjoy
benefit
and
learn
from
nature
and
nature's
giving
back
in
mcdonald's
fields.
The
herd
of
deer
resident
deer
provide
entertainment
for
the
residents
of.
K
We
are
asking
baltimore
county
to
use
some
of
the
arp
community,
revitalization
funding
to
purchase
mcdonald's
field
and
preserve
it
as
a
passive
green
space
for
the
perry
hall
bellio
road
corridor,
which
has
very
few
spaces
like
this
within
walking
distance
of
the
homes.
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
In.
L
C
C
C
More
currently
lost
close
to
150
family
child
care
providers,
the
highest
loss
in
the
state
of
maryland
that
accounts
for
1200
lost
child
care
sports.
Other
countries
have
offered
grants
specifically
for
family
child
care
programs
that
have
totaled
anywhere
between
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
sixteen
thousand
dollars.
Based
on
the
information
that
has
been
posted
so
far
on
the
grant
that
baltimore
county
is
offering
it
is
as
though
it
is
for
family,
child
care
and
child
care
programs.
C
Our
request
is
that
it
is
offered
strictly
for
family
child
care
programs.
Baltimore
county
have
offered
at
least
three
other
small
business
grants
that
child
care
programs
would
have
been
eligible
to
apply
for,
whereas
family
child
care
programs
were
not
able
to
apply
for
them
because
they
were
not
eligible.
C
So
they
showed
that
as
families
are
continuing
to
return
to
work
in
person,
their
preference
for
high
quality
licensed
child
care
would
be
family
child
care,
with
the
losses
that
we
have
already
seen.
Family
child
care
might
not
be
a
choice
for
them,
depending
on
what
areas
of
the
county
they're
looking
for
care.
C
Unfortunately,
for
baltimore
county
there
will
be
families
who
will
have
to
go
to
neighboring
counties
for
child
care,
which
will
funnel
money
that
could
be
stained
by
mercury
to
those
liberty
counties,
which
is
something
we
don't
want
to.
We
would
like
to
propose
that
the
childcare
grant
that
it
should
be
written
strictly
for
family
child
care
programs
or
that
more
money
be
added
to
it
to
help
ensure
the
equitable
distribution
of
money
closer
to
what
other
countries
have
received
so
far.
C
M
M
This
is
a
project
that
me
and
the
councilman
has
been
working
on
diligently.
This
project
will
be
a
game
changer
for
this
area.
There's
a
lot
of
youth
and
we've
been
having
a
lot
of
youth
crime
in
that
area.
So
having
a
community
center
will
be
a
great
way
to
get
our
young
folks
off
the
street.
Give
them
something
constructive
to
do
in
a
safe
space,
have
access
to
athletics,
of
course,
the
power
program.
O
O
H
J
P
P
I
want
to
make
sure
you
understand
what
our
kids
are
going
through
under
the
current
schedule
in
baltimore
county,
the
regular
high
school
bus
pickups
start
by
6
a.m.
Magnet
school
buses
start
earlier.
That
means,
from
september,
through
mid-may
kids,
are
waiting
for
the
bus
before
sunrise
getting
to
school,
as
the
sun
comes
up
and
wishing
every
second
that
they
were
still
asleep
and
that's
not
because
they're
lazy
or
stayed
up
too
late
texting
it's
because
adolescent
biology
makes
it
hard
for
the
average
teen
to
go
to
sleep
before
about
11
o'clock.
P
Yet
they
still
need
about
nine
hours
of
sleep.
Doing
the
math.
We're
asking
them
to
be
ready
for
the
bus
two
hours
before
their
bodies
are
ready
to
be
awake.
Physicians
tell
us
those
early
morning.
Hours
are
when
the
most
restorative
sleep
happens,
for
teens.
In
fact,
adolescents.
In
our
county
report,
getting
only
about
6.75
hours
of
sleep
on
school
nights,
research
tells
us
it's
lower
income
and
students
of
color
that
are
getting
less
sleep-deprived
adolescents
suffer
more
mental
health
challenges,
including
depression
and
suicidal
tendencies.
P
When
schools
delay
bell
times,
measures
of
mental
health,
improve
truancy,
tardiness
and
dropout
rates,
decrease
academic
and
athletic
achievement
increases
and
teens
actually
get
more
sleep.
Each
night
spending
arp
money
to
support
a
shift
to
safe
and
healthy
school
start
times,
aligns
with
program
aims
by
addressing
systemic
public
health
challenges
that
have
unequally
impacted
our
students
and
it
aligns
with
recommendations
from
experts.
P
L
Okay,
I
live
on
rosehaven
road
in
rosedale,
there's
been
about
four
to
five
sizable
neighborhoods
on
or
near
buck's
schoolhouse,
road
between
perry,
hall,
boulevard
and
ridge
road
that
have
been
built
since
1998,
which
includes
approximately
500
single
family
homes.
This
results
in
more
than
three
million
dollars
per
year
of
property
tax
revenue
to
baltimore
county.
L
A
Q
Q
Great
I'm
a
member
of
the
board
of
trustees,
of
the
baltimore
county,
public
library
and,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
the
library
has
19
branches
throughout
baltimore
county
that
provide
services
to
residents
of
all
ages
year
round
now
now
there
are
many
needs
that
I
could
talk
about
and
uses
for
the
funds.
But
I'd
like
to
talk
about
several
tonight,
one
is
one
of
the
most
common
areas
that
we
receive.
Customer
complaints
from
is
about
the
bathrooms
and
meeting
rooms.
Q
We've
worked
with
property
management
and
they
have
approved
plans
for
renovating
and
improving
a
number
of
bathrooms
and
meeting
them
from
the
branches.
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
get
those
with
the
first
tranche
of
funds
to
fund
the
improvements
at
the
white
marsh,
the
woodlawn
and
the
pikesville
branches.
That
would
be
a
great
benefit
to
to
not
only
our
customers
and
residents,
but
also
the
staff
that
that
works.
There.
Q
Q
Now
the
library
branch
is
in
order
for
the
social
workers
to
work
and
receive
customers
in
some
of
the
branches.
We
need
study
pods,
so
we
would
like
to
have
some
more
study,
pods,
approved
and
paid
for,
so
that
the
social
workers
can,
in
the
perfect
world,
see
residents
and
customers
at
as
many
branches
as
possible,
and
finally,
I'm
very
happy
to
see
about
the
the
essex
initiative.
Q
I
think
it's
great
talking
about
concentrated
resources
to
support
ethics
communities
recovery,
while
also
seeking
to
empower
residents,
address
disparities
and
improve
the
overall
quality
of
life.
That
to
me
sounds
what
libraries
do
and,
while
long-term
a
renovation
of
the
existing
branch
probably
makes
sense
in
the
short
term,
we
would
like
to
see
resources
devoted
to
that
particular
branch
to
include
for
more
technology
as
well
as
to
also
have
a
better
places
for
kids
and
teens
to
use
that
particular
branch.
Thank
you
very
much.
R
M
R
So
many
things
that
I
was
hoping
to
share
have
already
been
shared,
so
reiterate
them
just
want
to
highlight
on
three
areas
where
additional
funding
would
be
most
beneficial.
My
background
is
working
with
youth
nonprofits.
I
work
with
the
camp
school
and
sports
league
here
in
baltimore
county
concerning
the
area
of
child
care.
There
is
definitely
a
need
for
there's
a
critical
staffing
shortage
need
and
a
definite
need
to
help
recruit
teachers,
but
also
help
them
with
some
of
the
expenses
that
they
incur
becoming
child
care
eligible.
R
We
go
through
rigorous
processes
to
make
sure
that
the
people
and
individuals
that
are
working
with
children.
Our
background
screen
have
met
training
requirements
for
being
cpr.
First,
aid
certified
amongst
other
things,
and
it
it
does
pose
a
challenge
to
not
be
able
to
have
it.
It's
not
the
type
of
field
where
we
could
just
hire
any
candidate.
The
candidate
has
to
have
gone
through
a
whole
series
of
trainings
and
credentialing
in
order
to
work
in
the
child
care
industry,
specifically
here
in
maryland,
with
the
office
of
child
care
requirements.
R
As
ms
hafford
stated,
when
a
parent
gets
that
call
that
you
need
to
come
pick
up,
your
child
from
work
or
a
child
care
center
has
to
send
a
teacher
home
that
has
symptoms
that
does
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
child
care
and
then
a
ripple
effect
on
parents
who
may
need
to
pick
up
their
children
from
a
center.
That's
now
closed,
and
then
another
person
spoke
about
how
many
centers
have
closed,
there's
a
definite
need
and
a
shortage
there.
I've
mentioned
that
I
run
a
camp.
R
R
The
same
issues
have
happened
on
base
baseball
and
soccer
time,
it's
very
hard
to
find
available
fields,
and,
last
but
not
least,
if
we
could
consider
some
funding
towards
beyond
the
bell
opportunities
for
youth
scholarship
or
grants
for
programs
that
offer
things
like
tutoring
after
school.
There
is
a
definite
gap
and
disparity
with
some
children
that
were
virtually
learning
as
they've,
come
back
to
school,
they're
significantly
behind
and
really
need
some
help.

The
permission
just
popped
up
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
the
vice
president
of
the
baltimore

association.
We
have
29
volunteer
and
ems
companies
serving
the
citizens
throughout
all
areas
of
the
county
door
and
covet.
We
experienced
funding
shortages
from
our
traditional
events
that
were
cancelled
through
our
mail-in
campaigns
that
our
citizens
just
couldn't
support
to
the
extent
that
they
previously
were
due
to
job
losses.
T
T
We
ask
that
you
consider
our
29
companies
during
your
process.
Additionally,
our
emergency
medical
services
are
being
pushed
to
the
limit
as
supplies
to
all
services,
providing
emergency
emergency
medical
through
the
county
and
we're
losing
people
to
other
jurisdictions,
because
baltimore
county
has
not
kept
up
with
what
other
jurisdictions
are
offering.

is
in
the
healthcare
field,
they're
highly
sought
after
and
if
you
have
that
certification
you
instantaneously
can
gain
employment.
This
can
be
done
in
our
vocational
schools
in
our
neighborhoods
that
are
suffering
the
most
that
were
previously
identified.
That's
all
I
have.
I
thank
you
for
listening
and
appreciate
your
support.
A
B
U
Okay,
thank
you.
I
apologize
good
evening,
mr
county
executive
and
director,
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
offer
some
thoughts
on
the
best
use
of
the
next
tranche
of
american
rescue
dollars.
My
name
is
robert
gould,
I'm
a
39
year
member
and
vice
president
with
the
pikesville
volunteer
fire
company
from
the.
U
U
It's
against
this
backdrop
that
we
were
both
shocked
and
angered
to
learn
through
a
county-wide
email.
This
past
spring,
that
is
part
of
its
fy
22
budget.
The
lachowski
administration
had
earmarked
a
one-time
premium
payment,
three
thousand
dollars
for
public
safety
and
public
health
employees,
including
police
fire,
ems
corrections,
9-1-1
sheriff's
office
employees
and
public
health
workers.
U
At
best,
this
oversight
can
be
attributed
to
poor
staffing
or
decision
making
at
worst,
it's
a
deliberate
omission
of
a
group
of
professionals
who,
without
our
services,
the
county
fire
department
could
not
function
whatever
the
case
failing
to
include
the
county
volunteers
in
this
one-time
premium.
Payment
is
extremely
insulting
and
disappointing
from
an
equity
perspective
and
raises
questions
regarding
the
value
the
administration
places
on
our
people
and
the
services
we
provide
to
right
this
wrong.
U
Our
first
request
is
that
the
administration
designate
a
one-time
payment
payable
to
each
of
the
county's
volunteer
companies
similar
to
how
it
would
handle
how
it
handled
the
april
employee
payments.
We
request
the
monies
be
paid
to
the
companies
themselves,
given
our
members
are
not
paid
employees
of
the
county.
U
Not
only
would
this
be
prudent
use
of
american
rescue
plan
dollars,
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
for
those
who
have
put
it
all
on
the
line
for
the
county's
residents,
since
this
pandemic
began
a
second
opportunity
for
deployment
of
american
rescue
plan
monies
which
would
meaningfully
address
an
ongoing
critical
need,
would
be
the
purchase
of
turnout
gear,
which
includes
fire,
a
firefighter's,
helmet,
specialty,
coat,
pants,
gloves
and
boots.
Think
of
it
as
the
tools
of
our
trade.
U
Unfortunately,
we
we,
along
with
other
member
companies,
have
found
it
extremely
frustrating
to
be
told
upon
repeated
requests
that
the
baltimore
county
fire
department
cannot
afford
to
buy
individual
turnout
gear
for
volunteer
firefighters,
valued
at
approximately
three
thousand
dollars
per
set,
which,
ironically,
is
the
same
dollar
amount
as
the
one-time
special
premium
payment.
I
alluded
to
just
a
minute
ago.
U
Allocation
of
american
rescue
plan
monies
to
address
this
ongoing
issue
would
have
an
immediate
impact
on
the
safety
and
morale
of
the
county's
volunteers
and
is
a
good
application
of
american
rescue
plan
monies
for
nearly
125
years.
We
have
proudly
operated
one
of
the
most
specialized
well-trained
and
equipped
fire
rescue
and
emergency
medical
service
organizations,
not
just
in
baltimore
county,
but
the
nation.
Our
commitment
has
been,
and
remains
to
be
there
for
our
community
in
its
time
of
need.
U
B
B
I
I
will
tell
you
that
we
in
fact
actively
did
explore
premium
pay
for
our
volunteers
as
well,
and
I'm
going
to
let
either
director
howie
or
ms
clemens
speak
to
under
the
federal
guidance
that
was
ineligible,
but
we
are,
of
course
always
looking
for
ways
that
we
can
do
more
to
support
our
volunteers,
who
are
doing
really
important
work,
be
it
through
this
recovery
process
and
or
our
upcoming
budgeting
process.
So
I
appreciate
you
weighing
in
and
just
want.
You
know
we
are
looking
at
ways
to
continue
supporting
our
volunteers
but
jasmine.
N
Yes,
so,
as
the
county
executive
stated,
we
explored
the
premium
pay
in
conjunction
with
conversations
with
our
office
of
budget
and
finance,
cross-referencing
with
the
treasury
guidance
and
the
interim
final
rule,
and
at
this
juncture
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
eligible
expense.
However,
we're
happy
to
continue
conversations
if
you
see
another
interpretation
and
also,
as
the
final
rule
comes
out,
and
we
are
expecting
that
in
the
coming
months,
which
should
solidify
some
of
these
other
questions.
N
We
have
about
eligible
items
and
just
as
a
reminder
for
everyone,
that's
on
a
lot
of
the
rules
and
eligibility
for
what
we
can
spend
on.
All
of
it
has
been
defined
by
congress
first
and
then
the
department
of
treasury
has
issued
additional
guidance,
and
so
we
have
to
follow
that
to
the
t,
because
this
is
federal
money
which
goes
back
to
what
moment
mentioned
earlier,
with
reporting
the
metrics
and
the
annual
expenditures
that
we'll
be
sharing
with
everyone.
F
F
It's
a
really
exciting
moment.
In
this
case
the
city
is
helping
the
county
to
save
money
on
its
legal
obligations
by
providing
sites
where
really
big
wetland
restoration
projects
can
happen,
and
this
lets
the
county
achieve
efficiencies
of
scale,
saving
money
per
pound
of
pollution
cleaned
up.
At
the
same
time,
the
county
is
helping
the
city
improve
the
resiliency
of
historic,
waterside
neighborhoods
that
are
vulnerable
to
erosion
and
storm
surge,
and
I
just
want
to
commend
baltimore
county
leadership.
F
This
exciting
partnership
points
the
way
towards
future
collaborations
that
serve
the
residents
of
the
entire
baltimore
region,
and
it
establishes
baltimore
county
as
a
leader
in
fiscal
responsibility,
while
saving
the
bay,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
and
support.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
V
W
X
X
X
X
two
recommendations
that
we
want
to
lift
up,
and
we
thank
councilman
marx
and
delegate
jackson
for
coming
to
our
neighborhood
and
community
and
listening
to
our
children.
Our
children
had
wonderful
ideas
of
what
they
need
to
thrive
in
our
community,
so
we're
asking
for
funds
for
a
walkable
pal
center
for
dunfield
and
nottingham
community,
we're
surrounded
by
a
host
of
apartments
for
families
and
children.
There's
a
great
need
for
safe
and
accessible
recreation.
X
X
X
X
B
W
W
So,
just
as
a
quick
background
in
august
2021,
our
committee
was
notified
by
baltimore
county
for
the
public
sewer
proposal
for
sanitary
health
concerns.
We
had
122
residents
on
our
match
survey
where
there
are
38
specific
properties
that
share
border
with
the
gunpowder
falls
urban
demarcation
line.
W
W
This
could
create
a
potential
environmental
concern
because
we
have
22
marginal
or
failing
septic
systems
currently
in
our
neighborhood,
which
were
identified
in
the
2018
survey
from
deps,
so
as
the
potential
sewage
runoff
does
it
percolate
into
the
soil
or
seepage
tanks
or
drain
fields.
However,
you
want
to
call
it
it
may
inadvertently
get
diverted
to
other
yards
or
down
into
the
actual
state
park
that
could
create
contamination
issues
with
local
wells,
create
health
concerns
things
of
that
sort
which
directly
feed
into
the
chesapeake
watershed.
W
W
V
V
V
I
just
hope
that
if
this
money
cannot
benefit
our
neighborhood,
that
the
county
will
continue
to
look
for
other
monies,
and
I
would
also
like
to
ask
johnny
o
to
provide
our
neighborhood
with
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
septic
and
the
water
situation.
When
the
survey
started,
we
also
had
as
many,
if
not
more,
concerns
for
the
water
in
our
neighborhood,
and
I
don't
know
why.
That's
gotten
left
out.
We've
asked
repeatedly
for
a
public
hearing.
We've
had
two
zoom
meetings,
our
neighbors
still
haven't
been
heard.
V
I've
gone
door-to-door
and
talked
to
many
of
the
people,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
have
been
unanswered
and
a
lot
of
concerns
with
this
project
and
I
think
the
county
is
always
saying
how
they
are
transparent
and
accountable.
But
our
neighborhood
has
not
seen
that
so
I
am
asking
johnny,
I
wrote,
I
wrote
you
a
letter,
I
heard
back
from
thomas
flag
and
I'm
asking
if
we
cannot
that
we
are
allowed
to
have
this
public
hearing.
B
B
So
I'm
happy
to
always
meet
with
our
constituents
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
we
are
committed
to
finding
as
as
much
of
a
solution
as
we
can,
particularly
for
those
who
are
least
able
to
you
know,
afford
an
expense
on
this
project
so
happy
to
have
the
conversation
and
look
forward
to
the
time.
So
I'm
sorry.
V
Y
Oh
great
well
thanks
so
much
for
for
the
hearing
and
for
the
survey
and
reaching
out
to
the
community,
I'm
a
resident
of
a
longtime
resident
of
ida
wild,
and
it
seems
that
this
kind
of
funding
would
be
ideal
to
address
the
storm
drainage
street
drainage
problems.
We've
had
in
our
community
and
david
marks
was
very
helpful.
Y
A
few
years
ago
when
we
had
storms
that
really
indicated
that
there
was
drainage
problems,
water
building,
up
in
yards
streets
impassable
et
cetera,
and
we
did
have
a
public.
I
believe
it
was
a
public
works
planning,
meeting
public
meeting
and
several
of
us
from
idaho
had
testified,
but
they're,
you
know
an
architect
had
come
out
and
taken
a
look
at,
or
rather
an
engineer.
Y
An
engineer
came
out
and
interviewed
several
of
us,
but
there
really
there
has
been
nothing
as
far
as
our
understanding
has
occurred,
to
correct
the
problem
and
so
just
reaching
out
to
see
if
this
kind
of
funding
could
address
it.
So
again
you
know
to
to
us.
It
seems
like
a
golden
opportunity
to
solve
something
that
that
has
been
problematic
and
ongoing.
So
thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
miss
dalton,
I'm
I'm
going
to
jump
in
so
we're
happy
to
explore
the
eligibility.
The
rules
are
very,
very
specific
about
storm
and
water.
Storm
and
wastewater,
so
we'd
have
to
examine
the
eligibility
under
those
provisions,
but
I
also
want
to
make
a
note
that
congress
did
just
recently
passed
the
big
infrastructure
bill.
It's
a
massive
bill,
so
everyone
is
still
sorting
through
it,
though.
Z
Z
These
are
children
that
still
have
a
chance
to
not
become
products
of
the
box
that
they're
in
physically
bringing
a
community
center
to
this
area
would
be
an
investment
in
their
futures.
Some
of
them
are
athletes.
I
actually
see
it
almost
every
saturday.
Some
are
artists
dancers,
as
well
as
computer
savvy.
B
Thank
you
miss
allen,
as
as
I'm
sure
you
and
the
councilman
are
well
aware.
I
know
the
councilman's
aware
I
hope
you
are.
We've.
We've
been
committed
to
expanding
these
community
centers
and
recreation
opportunities
for
our
students
in
baltimore
county.
It's
been
a
priority
of
mine,
so
I
thank
you
for
your
advocacy
on
behalf
of
your
community.
B
Along
with
some
of
your
neighbors,
we
will
look
into
the
eligibility
of
community
pal
centers
as
part
of
this
process
and
as
part
of
the
the
you
know,
the
overall
feedback,
but
certainly
we'll
incorporate
that,
as
we
have
other
budget
town
halls,
etc.
If
in
fact,
it's
not
eligible
or
not
able
to
be
done
here,
but
we
we
are
grateful
for
the
the
feedback
and
the
advocacy
of
course,
and
remain
committed
to
both
investing
more
in
our
young
people
and
in
community
anchors.
AA
AA
I
prefer
mountain
bike
trails
and
I'm
here
to
to
ask
the
the
county
to
invest
in
more
cycling
infrastructure
and,
specifically,
mountain
bike.
Mountain
bike
trails,
these
kind
of
investments,
investments
in
trails
specifically
provide
a
huge
economic
return
on
their
investment.
Municipalities
that
invest
in
trails,
see
all
sorts
of
economic
benefits,
including
increases
in
property,
values
closer
to
the
trails.
AA
AA
They
make
communities
more
attractive
to
businesses
in
a
number
of
ways,
including
both
the
amenities
they
offer
to
potential
employees
that
they
may
be
trying
to
recruit,
as
well
as
the
opportunities
they
offer
to
cater
to
the
actual
trail
visitors
themselves.
They
reduce
medical
costs
by
encouraging
exercise
and
other
healthy
outdoor
activities.
They
can
revitalize
depressed
areas
by
creating
a
demand
for
space
and
what
may
have
been
vacant
buildings.
AA
They
provide
transportation
options
and
cut
fuel
expenses,
offering
reliable
means
of
transportation
for
short
distances
and
they
provide
low
or
no
cost
recreation
to
families.
They
also
increase
tax
revenues
in
the
communities
that
they're
located
in
so
they
provide
an
almost
immediate
return
on
the
investment
made
and
and
as
my
personal
experience
has
been,
that
there
is
a
bit
of
a
lack
of
infrastructure
with
regards
to
cycling
and
specifically
mountain
bike
trails.
AA
B
B
J
A
Well,
michigan
executive.
That
that
concludes
all
of
the
comments
that
we
have.
I
think
we
heard
some
very
thoughtful
comments.
It's
clear
that
that
our
our
our
constituents,
our
our
residents,
our
fellow
baltimore
county
residents,
did
do
their
homework.
They
looked
at
the
website.
They
clicked
on
all
of
the
tabs
and
and
really
looked
at
the
at
the
proposals
that
are
up
there
and
gave
some
thoughtful
insight.
A
I'd
like
to
just
thank
everyone
who
participated
and
encourage
you
to
stay
connected
to
us,
ensure
that
you
continue
to
look
at
the
proposals
and
look
at
the
messaging
that
we
put
out,
because
your
feedback
is
absolutely
critical.
I
think,
as
both
the
county
executive-
and
I
mentioned,
there's
another
opportunity
for
an
individual
who
did
not
get
to
participate
to
do
this
again
on
november
29th
from
6
to
7
30
as
well.
A
B
Thanks
leonard
and
thank
you
again
for
the
ways
in
which
you
and
jasmine,
and
so
many
others
have
led
this
process
thanks
to
amanda
carr,
for
helping
to
coordinate
tonight's
conversation.
I
want
to
thank
our
residents
who
again,
as
leonard
said,
were
very
thoughtful
and
have
done
a
lot
of
homework
on
these
issues.
So
we
appreciate
the
the
thoughtful
feedback
tonight.
B
It's
given
us
a
lot
to
consider
as
we
continue
our
evaluation
of
both
what
we've
proposed
and
additional
spending
opportunities
to
invest
in
our
communities
across
baltimore
county.
So
we
look
forward
to
following
up
with
everyone
and
mr

mrs

We
will
make
sure
you're
number

our
next

if
you're
able
to
make
that
we
certainly
can
take
your
feedback
via
email
as
well,
but
really
thanks
thanks
to
everyone

It
really
has
made
this
county
stronger
over
the
years
and
we
