From YouTube: 2023 Budget Town Hall - District 7
Description
County Executive Olszewski & Councilman Todd Crandell gathering with residents and stakeholders who live in District 7 to get their input and ideas on what should be prioritized in the County's FY24 budget.
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
my
name
is
Erica
Crouch
district
7
Outreach
coordinator
for
Baltimore
County
Executive
Johnny
osheski
Jr's
office
of
community
engagement.
It
is
a
pleasure
to
welcome
all
of
you
here
for
our
fifth
budget
Town
Hall
series.
The
county
executive
has
stated
government
works
best
when
our
residents
drive
the
conversation
and
our
signature.
Town
Hall
series
continues
on
those
efforts
to
create
a
more
open,
accessible
and
responsive
government.
A
B
Our
system
of
government
works
best
when
we
hear
from
the
residents
and
these
Town
Halls
represent
the
purest
form
of
community
input
and
provide
residents
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
you
they
provided
residents
the
opportunity
to
give
that
input
is
a
little
special
for
me
25
years
ago.
My
first
professional
job
in
the
agency
was
here
in
Turner
Station.
A
The
county
executive,
the
appropriate
department
head
or
councilman
Crandall
will
address
your
inquiries,
concerns
and
ideas.
If
we
cannot
answer
a
question
tonight,
we
will
have
a
coordinator
from
the
office
of
community
engagement.
Follow
up
with
you
now
without
further
Ado.
It
is
my
honor
and
privilege
to
welcome
your
councilman
Todd
Crandall.
C
C
C
C
But
we
cannot
add
to
it
and
we
can't
move
money
around
within
the
budget
and
it's
important
I
think
to
understand
that
as
we're
trying
to
advocate
for
our
priorities
in
the
Seventh
District
to
go
into
the
county
executive's
budget,
because
you
have
to
understand
that
there
are
the
six.
There
are
six
other
districts
in
Baltimore
County
and
we're
all
fighting
for
a
piece
of
a
finite
pie.
C
The
city
was
not,
let's
say
open
to
the
idea
and
I've
had
numerous
conversations
with
the
county
executive
Johnny.
This
is
what
we
need
to
do.
We
need
a
regional,
Water
Authority.
We
need
to
look
into
this
and
just
recently,
the
county
executive
and
the
mayor
of
Baltimore
City
made
an
announcement
that
they
are
seeking
legislation
to
form
a
task
force
to
look
into
that
particular
possibility
of
creating
a
regional,
Water
Authority
for
Baltimore
County
and
the
surrounding
areas.
C
So
we
can
get
greater
accountability,
get
greater
greater
oversight
not
only
of
the
Back
River
wastewater
treatment
plant,
but
our
overall
Water
and
Sewer
infrastructure,
and
that's
how
the
county,
executive
and
I
work
together.
I
advocate
we
talk
about
it
and
then,
if
he
decides,
he
takes
action
on
it.
So
we're
different
parties
we're
different
people,
but
we
care
deeply
about
the
jobs
that
we
do
and
with
those
remarks
I'm
going
to
introduce
to
you
our
County
Executive
Johnny,
yeski
Jr,.
D
I
mean
Bob
Bob
got
a
go,
Point.
Okay,
thank
you
jeez
good
evening,
everyone.
It
is
wonderful
to
see
this
room
filled.
I
want
to
thank
councilman
Crandall
for
his
his
dead
partnership,
as
he
said,
even
when
we
disagree,
we're
never
disagreeable
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
that
he
is
persistent
and
consistent
in
working
alongside
us
and
advocating
for
your
communities,
and
so
it's
been.
D
It's
been
a
really
good
working
relationship
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
see
more
of
that
frankly
in
our
politics
today,
in
a
time
when
things
are
always
go
to
your
Corners
I'm,
just
really
proud
of
the
ways
in
which,
again
we
don't
agree
on
everything,
but
it's
never
been
disagreeable
and
whenever
we
can
find
partnership
in
progress,
we
always
we
always
do
that.
So,
but
this
tonight's
about
this
tonight's
about
you
all
so
I
what
I
want
to
do
is
set
the
stage
a
little
bit.
D
I
actually
want
to
thank
councilman
Crandall.
He,
he
probably
will
save
me
a
few
slides
tonight.
So
we
can.
We
can
speed
this
along
and
get
to
the
no
it's
good.
It's
good
I
want
to
just
thank
all
of
the
department
heads
as
the
councilman
said.
We
have
all
of
the
agencies
of
County
government
are
represented
tonight,
and
so,
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
connect
with
them
at
the
cabinet
in
the
community
beforehand,
they
will
be
available.
D
As
you
ask
questions,
and
throughout
the
night,
please
find
time
to
connect
with
them
and
sync
up
with
them
or
Manny.
Remmel
and
Erica
from
oce
are
also
happy
to
help
facilitate
that
I
also
just
want
to
thank
our
leadership
team
for
being
here.
We've
done
a
lot
these
past
four
years,
I'm
going
to
just
zip
through
these,
because
you've
probably
heard
this
before.
When
we
came
into
office,
we
worked
with
the
council
to
pass
ethics
reform.
D
We
created
public
financing
elections,
we
created
the
County's
office
that
the
inspector
General
and
have
grown
that
every
year
since
being
in
office,
we
stood
up
a
3-1-1
service.
We
created
the
Office
of
community
engagement,
which
we
mentioned.
We
created
BC
stat,
so
we
can
track
and
use
data
to
help
Drive
our
decision
making.
We
built
the
first
ever
open
budget
platform,
which
is
active
right
now.
If
you
want
to
go
on,
you
can
see
down
to
the
check
how
Baltimore
county
is
spending
its
money.
D
We
created
a
town
hall
Series
where
we've
engaged
thousands
of
residents
and
thank
you
again
for
your
your
presence
and
your
participation.
I
hope.
As
we
talk
tonight,
you'll
see
that
your
feedback
really
has
been
Incorporated
in
the
work
that
we've
done.
Working
together,
we've
closed
and
inherited
81
million
dollar
deficit.
We
delivered
one
of
the
best
responses
to
the
worst
Public
Health
crisis
of
Our
Lives.
We've
made
record
investments
in
education,
Public,
Safety
and
infrastructure.
D
And
this
is
probably
familiar
for
those
of
you
who
are
frequent
flyers
of
the
Town
Hall
series,
but
just
a
quick
reminder
of
where
the
money's
coming
from
and
where
it's
going
Baltimore
County's
current
operating
budget
is
4.4
billion
dollars.
Yes,
that's
with
a
B.
This
is
a
large
County,
we're
larger
than
four
states.
We
have
over
860
000
residents,
which
is
why
it's
great
that
we
went
from
having
two
people
testify
in
the
two
years
prior
to
seeing
the
kind
of
Engagement
here
and
across
all
seven
council
districts.
D
The
bulk
of
our
operating
support
comes
from
both
income
and
real
property
sources.
There
are
some
other
federal
and
state
aid
that
helps
fund
our
budget.
Almost
half
of
all
that
we
spend
goes
to
education
55
if
you
account
not
just
BCPS,
but
also
our
library
and
community
colleges.
The
other
largest
Investments
are
public
works
and
transportation
and
Public
Safety,
which
we'll
talk
about
later.
Those
Investments
have
increased
every
year,
but
it
makes
sense.
That's
where
it's
going
as
it's
the
largest
the
largest
buckets.
D
The
other
thing
I'll
say
is
the
vast
majority
over
50
percent
of
all
of
our
spending
goes
into
our
people,
so
the
salaries,
the
health
care,
the
retirement
a
lot
of
it
is
really
invested
in
our
people.
So
that's
the
operating
budget.
That's
the
year
over
year,
how
we
actually
deliver
Services
clean
up
streets
pick
up
trash
Etc.
D
That's
almost
entirely
what
funds
our
portion
of
the
the
water
system
currently.
In
addition,
the
the
rest
of
the
bulk
comes
from
General
obligation
bonds.
When
you
voted
in
November,
you
probably
saw
a
whole
host
of
borrowing,
questions
that
largely
drives
that,
in
addition
to
those
borrowing
issues,
we
oftentimes,
if
we're
good
stewards
with
our
dollars,
we're
able
to
put
additional
Capital
funding
into
the
budget
as
what's
called
pay
as
you
go
or
pay-go
funding
for
additional
Capital
items.
Almost
half
of
it
is
Metro.
District
almost
half
goes
directly
to
sewer
and
water.
D
D
Councilman
Crandall
and
the
County
Council
have
created
What's
called
the
spending
affordability
committee.
So
every
year
that
committee
meets
and
they
basically
look
on
the
operating
budget,
so
the
day-to-day
costs
of
staff
and
programs,
and
they
set
a
rate
that
limits
the
amount
of
growth
that
we
should
responsibly
take
on
in
the
operating
budget
to
be
sustainable
in
the
years
ahead.
D
D
So
just
for
context.
Current
year,
fiscal
budget
has
a
4.7
percent
growth
factor
which,
based
on
the
prior
Year's
budget,
said
that
if
you
want
to
stay
under
that
spending
affordability
limit,
you
can't
grow
the
operating
budget
more
than
107
million
dollars.
That
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money
when
you
start
peeling
it
away.
What
actually,
what
that
107
million
represents
is
a
lot
of
money
that
goes
into
our
people,
and
so,
when
you
peel
the
onion
back
another
layer
and
Sean
I
think
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
D
Almost
all
of
it
goes
into
things
like
salaries,
built-in
costs,
increased
gas,
electricity
Etc.
We
have
about
13,
that's
left
of
that
spending,
affordability.
Now
you
might
think
that's
a
lot
too,
but
really
what
that
has
funded,
that
those
are
the
extra
esol
teachers
in
our
school
system.
Those
are
the
extra
teachers
and
counselors
in
this
year's
budget.
Those
are
it's.
The
tree
Equity
program
where
we
have
a
forestry
division,
was
expanded
in
the
Department
of
Economic
and
Workforce
Development.
D
Education-
you
may
have
heard
me
say
a
time
or
two
that
I'm
really
passionate
about
education.
I
came
up
proud
to
have
been
a
BCPS
product
to
have
taught
in
the
school
system
to
now
have
a
student
in
the
school
system.
It's
why
every
year
we
make
sure
that
we
are
prioritizing
putting
as
much
funding
towards
supporting
our
schools
as
we
possibly
can.
D
This
current
year
budget
is
2.3
billion
dollar
operating
funds
that
represents
based
on
enrollment,
and
so
we
are
required
by
law
to
do
a
certain
level
of
maintaining
our
support
for
the
school
system
through,
what's
called
maintenance
of
effort,
if
you
account
for
our
maintenance
of
effort
based
on
the
4
000
students,
we've
lost
since
the
pandemic
and
and
hold
account
for
that.
We've
increased
our
funding,
70
million
dollars
above
what
the
state
mandates
us
to
do,
based
on
our
enrollment
numbers,
that
represents
a
91
million
dollar
year-over-year
increase
locally
for
BCPS.
D
What
has
that
allowed
us
to
do?
It's
allowed
us
to
make
much
needed
progress
on
things
like
teacher
salaries.
We
know
that
we
have
far
too
many
vacancies,
not
just
in
BCPS
but
across
our
County
government
and
across
agencies,
but
we
were
very
we're
very
proud
of
the
ways
in
which
we've
gone
from
being
closer
to
middle
of
the
pact.
D
Among
the
higher
paid
districts
in
the
state,
we
were
thrilled
that
we
were
able
to
agree
to
an
additional
step
in
the
middle
of
last
year,
in
addition
to
some
one-time
bonuses
and
other
supports
for
our
hard-working
Educators.
Since
taking
office,
we've
put
over
300
additional
positions
in
the
teachers,
counselors
psychologists,
School,
social
workers
Etc
again,
even
as
we've
seen
a
reduction.
We've
continued
these
investments
in
our
schools
in
addition
to
the
operating,
we
believe
the
buildings
matter
too,
and
that
having
high
quality,
modern,
safe
school
learning
environments
matter.
A
great
deal.
D
D
D
D
We're
also
investing
in
the
future
we're
investing
in
science,
technology,
engineering,
art
and
math
education,
we're
expanding
Pre-K
to
almost
8
000
Young
Learners
in
Baltimore
County
in
the
years
ahead
and
we're
investing
in
CTE.
We
in
this
year's
budget
we
put
forward
16
million
dollars
in
the
capital
fund
to
do
things
like
security
cameras
and
intercom
upgrades,
replacing
doors
and
a
strong
security
vestibules,
so
that
we
have
a
safe
way
for
our
students
and
parents
and
staff
to
come
and
go.
D
Mentioned
the
enrollment
and
while
we're
looking
ahead
to
the
Future
as
a
baseline
for
BCPS,
we
we
have
uncertain
economic
forecasts.
We
don't
know
what
the
future
years
are
going
to
bring,
but
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
try
to
give
BCPS
some
commitment
of
the
County's
continued
support
for
the
operation.
D
We
know
that
education
doesn't
stop
at
pre-k
or
K-12,
so
we're
also
proud
of
our
partnership
with
CCBC
that
we
have
Frozen
College
tuition
for
all
four
years
since
we've
been
in
office,
keeping
more
cost
effective
for
County
residents,
we've
also
significantly
expanded
the
opportunity
for
Young
Scholars
by
increasing
the
investments
in
the
college.
Promise
scholarship
we've
grown
by
over
800
students
in
that
program
since
starting
four
years
ago,.
D
We
haven't
forgotten
about
the
basics
throughout
all
this
I
think
one
of
the
best
things
that
Todd
and
I
heard
in
these
Town
Halls
was
the
calls
for
bulk
trash
pickup
to
come
back,
we're
very
proud
to
have
brought
that
service.
Back
year,
one
of
bulk
trash
pickup
we've
seen
1900
plus
tons
of
trash
collected
from
almost
70
000
homes
across
Baltimore
County
we're
trying
to
do
more.
We
heard
you
about
code
enforcement,
we've
hired
additional
code
enforcement
inspectors.
D
We
have
a
code
enforcement
dashboard
through
our
BC
stat
team,
where
you
can
actually
see
where
the
complaints
are
coming
and
where
the
code
violations
are
being
resolved,
we're
moving,
finally
towards
more
proactive
sweeps
with
something
else.
We
heard
in
these
communities
and
we've
enacted
escalating
penalties
for
repeat
offenders.
D
We
haven't
forgotten
our
seniors
doing
things
like
age,
friendly,
Baltimore,
County,
no
senior
eats
alone.
We
have
a
great
partnership
with
the
Weinberg
Foundation,
where
we
have
this
Housing
Initiative
to
help
our
seniors
age
in
place,
and
we've
also
committed
millions
of
dollars
in
our
capital
budget
to
support
our
senior
centers
across
District
Seven
and
all
of
Baltimore
County.
D
We
are
focusing
in
and
trying
a
place-based
initiative
in
Essex,
which
was
actually
one
of
our
hardest
hit
communities
in
terms
of
coven
numbers,
Social,
vulnerability,
indexes
and
other
metrics.
So
we
have
put
forward
working
with
our
state,
legislators
and
I
know.
I
saw
a
delegate
long
here,
I,
don't
know
if
there's
other
there
are
other
legislators,
I'll
make
sure
I
recognize
you
guys
as
well,
but
working
with
delegate
Metzger.
He
helped
secure
a
lot
of
money
from
the
state
to
do
Essex
streetscaping,
which
is
underway
we're
going
to
match
that
and
support
that
work.
D
Councilman
also
mentioned
mid-spring
after
many
years
of
back
and
forth,
and
disagreements
between
the
state
and
County
government.
We
cut
through
it
with
secretary
bartenfelder,
councilman
Crandall
and
myself,
some
great
Advocates
on
on
the
back
River,
and
what
we
have
seen
is
this.
This
program
is
working.
We've
seen
a
significant
reduction
in
midges
through
through
the
aerial
spraying,
that's
being
conducted
as
we're
going
to
continue
that
program.
We're
also
actively
looking
at
getting
into
the
back
River
wastewater
treatment
plant
to
actually
do
Midge
treatment
in
the
plant.
D
D
That
would
have
been
a
good
that
would
have
been
a
good
slide
to
have
there.
We,
we
also
believe
in
public
safety
here
in
Baltimore
County.
We
have
consistently
increased
our
funding
for
Public
Safety
in
our
police
department
and
other
First
Responders
over
28
million
dollars
just
the
last
two
years,
very
proud
of
the
work
that
the
men
and
women
of
our
department
have
done
last
year
in
Baltimore
County,
where
there
have
been
Spikes
all
over
the
state
and
Country,
we
saw
a
36
percent
decline
in
homicides.
D
The
men
and
women
of
the
department
continue
to
do
exceptional
work.
We
have
a
higher
than
national
average
of
closing
cases.
You
will
hear
me
say
often
if
you
commit
a
crime,
particularly
a
violent
crime
in
Baltimore
County,
we
will
find
you.
We
will
arrest
you
and
we
will
hold
you
accountable
everyone's
welcome
here,
but
we
expect
folks
to
behave
appropriately.
D
You
can
track
data
on
our
data
and
crime,
dashboard
also
created
by
BC,
stat
and
I'll,
just
say
in
addition
to
supporting
the
men
and
women
of
the
police
department
and
the
Fire
Department
Corrections
9-1-1.
We
also
believe
that
Upstream
Investments
matter
too,
so
we
haven't
forgot
about
spending
on
things
like
recreational
parks
and
Workforce
and
economic
development.
We
are
using
data
because
we
know
that
the
vast
majority
of
our
incidents
were
either
domestic
violence
or
mental
health
related.
So
we're
using
that
to
also
support
Public
Safety.
D
We
put
a
mental
health
clinician
in
our
9-1-1
call
center.
So,
if
someone's
experiencing
mental
crisis,
when
they
call,
we
have
an
expert
indebted
in
our
call
center,
we
expanded
our
award-winning
Behavioral
Health
crisis
team
to
be
able
to
respond
to
more
calls,
and
we
want
to
keep
looking
at
other
ways
to
support
like
adding
additional
domestic
violence
counselors
in
the
years
ahead.
D
When
we
started
this
term,
we
reinstituted
recycling,
which
was
discontinued,
I,
believe
back
in
2013.,
we
worked
at
our
landfill
to
start
capturing
all
of
the
methane
that
was
being
released
in
the
atmosphere
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
generating
that
energy
other
than
putting
a
terrible
gas
into
the
atmosphere.
We
were
very
proud
to
have
created
an
established
operation
Retreat,
where
we
were
going
into
older,
established
under-treed
communities
to
make
sure
that
we
are
putting
trees
all
over
the
place.
D
Just
recently,
we
were
in
Turner
Station
spending
over
250
thousand
dollars
for
tree
tree
reforestation
in
Lion
homes.
We're
also
very
proud
on
the
green
infrastructure
front,
to
have
received
over
two
million
dollars
for
green
infrastructure
to
address
the
flooding
concerns
here
in
Turner,
Station
I
mentioned
parks
and
open
space.
This
year's
capital
budget
alone
over
45
million
dollars.
That
means
Waterway
access
improvements
at
Merit,
Point,
Park,
Rocky,
Point,
Park
is
going
to
see
trails
and
other
improvements.
D
Sellers
Point
here
is
going
to
have
a
new
turf
field
and
a
track
we're
going
to
have
Sparrows
Point
Park.
We
are
underway
in
terms
of
bidding
and
finalizing
that
that
process
and
looking
forward
to
breaking
ground
soon,
I
believe
that
represents
over
a
20
million
dollar
investment
in
that
community
and
it
will
be
I
think
a
real
gem
for
all
of
Baltimore
County.
D
That's
where
we've
been
just
a
quick
sense
of
where
we're
going
just
recently,
we
announced
our
legislation
to
support
our
communities
and
really
for
me
that
means
three
things:
we're
focusing
on
Workforce
we're
focusing
on
Capital
and
we're
focusing
on
housing.
So
we're
very
proud
that
during
the
pandemic,
we
now
have
director
Terry
hickey
of
the
housing,
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development.
We
stood
that
up.
It
didn't
exist
during
the
pandemic
and
that's
really
critical
work.
I
just
recently
introduced
to
the
council
a
package
of
fun
foundational
housing
changes.
D
One
would
establish
a
housing
opportunities
fund,
we're
prepared
to
commit
16
million
dollars
of
our
arpa
federal
recovery
dollars
towards
the
Housing
Initiative
initiative
and
we're
hoping
that
this
fund
will
house
that
that
support
we're
working,
hopefully
with
the
council,
to
create
a
definition
of
a
vacant
structure
hard
to
believe.
But
we
actually
don't
have
that
in
code
and
so
having
that
done
will
allow
us
to
go
in
and
proactively
do
more
enforcement
actions.
D
In
addition,
we're
trying
to
update
townhome
construction
policies
to
allow
for
a
size
change
so
that
housing
can
be
of
different
sizes
and
shapes
and
more
flexible,
we're
also
allowing
proposing
to
allow
family
members
of
any
family
to
be
able
to
live
together
in
Asian
place
and
communities
across
Baltimore,
County
I
know.
The
councilman
is
reviewing
that
I
appreciate
his
consideration
of
the
package,
but
that's
what
we're
moving
forward
on
the
housing
front
on
the
workforce
front,
we
know
that
we
need
more
workers
across
the
board.
D
We
were
very
proud
to
announce
a
partnership
with
University
of
Maryland
Medical
system,
St,
Joe
and
Towson,
where
we
put
forward
some
recovery
dollars
that
were
matched
by
private
dollars
to
launch
a
public
health
Pathways
program.
What
this
program
does
and
it's
it
actually
has
only
been
announced
and
we're
just
about
to
launch
the
application
soon.
We're
already.
We've
already
had
more
people
reach
out
with
interest
than
there
are
positions
in
the
program,
but
it
takes
some
of
our
most
socially
vulnerable
residents
and
it
creates
an
opportunity
for
them.
D
So
we're
going
to
take
residents
and
we're
going
to
put
them
through
this
program
in
partnership
with
CCBC
they're,
going
to
be
first
become
they're,
going
to
first
get
their
CNA
in
four
months.
They're
going
to
then
have
a
guaranteed
job
at
the
hospital
they're
going
to
be,
while
they're
working
they're
going
to
have
wraparound,
supports
and
supports
for
things
like
transportation
and
Child,
Care
and
housing.
D
Creating
the
community,
the
community
centers,
the
turf
fields,
the
sidewalks,
the
roads
in
the
schools
and
again,
as
the
councilman
said,
we
were
very
proud
that
we
were
able
to
work
with
the
city
and
to
also
have
the
state
come
together
and
announce
the
formation
of
a
work
group,
the
task
force
on
Regional,
Water
and
Wastewater.
This
is
a
pretty
sweeping
Bill,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
working
with
your
local
legislators
here
and
all
of
Baltimore
County
legislators
and,
frankly,
all
the
members
of
the
general
assembly
to
get
this
passed.
D
We
are
currently
operating
under
an
agreement
that
is
older
than
me.
I
believe
it's
older
than
you
councilman,
close
Okay,
New,
Years,
1970,
I,
don't
know,
I
feel
like
I'm
outing
you
but
1972.
we
haven't,
we,
we
haven't.
We
haven't
looked
at
this
agreement
since
1972.,
so
it's
long
past
time
there
have
been
significant
changes
in
populations.
It
was
built
for
a
time
that
was
very
different,
so
I
do
I,
do
appreciate
the
state
and
the
city
recognizing
this
need
and
being
part
of
this
review.
D
I
think
Todd
did
a
great
job
of
outlining
how
the
budget
works
in
the
timeline.
So
I
will
just
leave
that
what
I
am
introducing
that's
new
this
year,
though,
is
I.
Actually
have
you
ready
so
I
want
to
engage
everyone.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
fun
because
you
know,
if
you're
not
going
to
testify.
Why
not
tell
me
something
tonight
before
you
leave,
so
our
team
is
going
to
be
handing
out
pieces
of
paper
that
have
the
QR
code.
D
If
you
can't
take
a
picture
of
it
on
the
big
screen,
you
can
use
the
the
paper.
That's
going
to
be
passed
down
your
aisle
and
as
you're
doing
that
if
you
just
take
a
picture
of
it
and
click,
the
link,
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
do
a
little
live
poll
and
we'll
see
collectively
on
a
couple
of
issues.
What
people
think.
D
So
so
it'll
still
be
there.
If
you
haven't,
got
it
yet,
it's
okay,
we're
gonna,
still
pass
it
on
the
papers.
But
the
first
question
tonight
is
how
many
Town
Halls
have
you
attended
since
2019.
So,
as
Todd
said,
this
is
the
this.
Is
the
fifth
year
of
the
series,
how
many,
how
many
Town
Halls
have
you
attended
and
we're
going
to
just
count
like
a
series,
as
as
a
town
hall,
if
you
did
all
five
last
year,
we'll
count
that
as
one.
D
D
All
right
we've
got
40
responses,
we'll
just
give
it
like
one
more
minute,
so
we
can
get
on
to
the
rest
of
the
poll
and
turn
the
floor
over
to
you
all.
I
I
just
want
to
applaud
the
at
least
20
or
so
of
you
who
are
here
for
your
first
time.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
joining
us
for
those
who
are
returning,
especially
for
those
fifth
fifth
year,
returners
I
I,
hope
that
you
are
getting
a
lot
of
productive
use
of
these
meetings
all
right.
D
D
D
D
If
you
haven't
next
time,
you
have
a
need
in
the
community.
Maybe
you
we'll
answer
differently.
Next
time
looks
like
about
35
percent
of
you
have
is
that
it
man
we
have
one
more
okay,
I'm,
going
to
turn
the
microphone
back
over
to
the
office
of
community
engagement
and
the
councilman
and
I
are
prepared
to
take
your
feedback.
C
Thank
you,
Johnny
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
still
get
long,
I
think
was
here
earlier,
but
I
think
that
he
had
to
leave
and,
of
course
our
state
senator
and
delegates
are
in
session,
so
they're
very
busy
right
now,
but
I
did
want
to
recognize
Mr
Rod
McMillian
Rod.
If
you
want
to
stand
up
and
say
hi,
he
is
the
Seventh
District
elected
representative
to
the
school
board.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
that
you
were
here
Rod,
so
welcome.
C
E
Right,
okay,
all
right
before
everyone
gets
moving
to
the
mic.
We
just
want
to
want
to
thank
you
all
for
signing
up
tonight
in
advance
to
testify
and
those
that
have
checked
in
and
signed
up
here
tonight.
We
just
want
to
take
a
minute
to
announce
that
when
we
have
you
line
up
at
these
designated
microphones,
you
will
have
two
minutes
to
State
your
budget
related
priority.
We
will
ask
that
you
adhere
to
the
two
minute
time
clock
here.
E
We
will
provide
a
gentle
reminder
of
30
seconds
left
and
then,
when
the
time
clock
buzzes
as
you'll
see
verinda
there
with
a
30
second
time
card
when
the
time
clock
buzzes,
we
do
ask
that
you
please
conclude
your
budget
priority.
So
that
way
we
can
get
to
all
of
the
residents
tonight
and
ensure
that
we
hear
the
priorities
that
you're
sharing
to
the
county
executive
and
to
the
councilman.
E
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
if
you
are
here
with
a
group
tonight,
I
mean
there
is
a
whole
group
of
you
that
are
supporting
some
sort
of
budget
priority.
We
ask
that
you
have
one
representative
speak
on
that
budget.
Related
priority
to
the
county
executive
and
to
the
councilman,
and
if
you've
heard
your
budget
priority
shared
such
as
funding
or
Public
Safety
and
you've
already
heard
it
shared
this
evening.
E
But
we
just
want
to
be
mindful,
and
we
will
adhere
to
the
time
clock
here
this
evening,
so
we'll
get
started,
I'm
wrong
and,
as
Patrick
reminded
me,
if
time
does
run
out
and
you
have
not
finished
we,
we
will
connect
with
you
from
the
office
of
community
engagement
to
make
sure
that
we
hear
your
full
budget
priority
and
we
will
get
it
to
the
county
executive
and
to
the
councilman
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
My
name
is
Ann
George
and
I'm,
not
actually
a
resident
in
this
area,
but
I
did
have
this
in
this
area
for
15
years,
I'm,
a
dog,
behavioral,
therapist
and
I've
served
many
people
in
in
this
area.
Mike
I
have
been
an
animal
advocate
for
about
almost
10
years
now
and
you're
very
fortunate.
You
have
some
facilities
down
here
that
we
don't
have
in
other
parts
of
the
county.
F
You
have
a
spay
neuter
Center
in
Dundalk,
as
well
as
a
PetSmart
that
takes
how
many
people
have
gotten
a
pet
from
Baltimore
County
Animal
Services
either
adopted
one
no
great.
Have
you
seen
the
pets
in
PetSmart
anyway?
The
problem
is
this:
animal
services
is
a
part
of
the
health
department,
our
health
and
human
resources,
and
there's
a
trend
now
to
take
them.
F
These
Services
out
of
the
health
department
and
put
them
in
a
separate
agency
I'm
not
concerned
as
much
as
more
money,
although
it's
not
enough
and
but
what's
happening
nationally,
is
to
get
non-profits
to
partner
and
even
have
like
a
pet
support
network
which
how
many
people
know
about
the
student
support
network
right.
Well,
lots
of
people
we've
actually
this
year
the
live
release
rate
has
gone
from
91
to
81
percent
they've
had
to
euthanize
813
dogs
this
year,
just
because
there
were
no
adoptive
homes
and
communication
is
a
big
problem.
F
D
F
H
H
H
D
D
J
J
J
Now,
since
we're
talking
about
money,
everyone
wants
to
know
how
do
we
pay
for
that?
So
there
are
federal
grants
and
funding
items.
There
are
state
grants
available
to
get
this
facility
up
and
running
with
our
vision.
We
see
supplemental
income
coming
from
rental
opportunities
to
those
facili
to
the
people,
who
are
current
service
providers,
who
would
move
into
this
facility?
That
includes
Dove
turn
around
the
family
crisis
center
Hana
I
hope
that
none
of
you
are
familiar
with
these
places.
J
Center
and
an
added
bonus
can
also
serve
as
a
base
for
economic
development
and
empowerment
by
offering
first
floor
space
for
retail
goods
and
services
by
women-owned
businesses
and
powered
by
women
able
to
make
a
living
wage.
A
Baltimore,
County,
family
service
and
Safety
Center
is
an
idea
that
we
would
love
to
discuss
with
you
more.
Thank
you.

D
The
school
system
has
added
School
Safety
assistance
to
the
schools
this
year,
and
the
last
thing,
I
would
say,
is
I,
just
really
encourage
parents
to
be
involved
and
we'll
keep
working
with
the
school
system
to
be
open.
I
think
the
best
indicator
of
a
child's
success
is
active
and
engage
parents,
so
the
more
parents
we
have
in
the
schools,
the
better
we
are
too.
L
Evening,
I
am
Sarah
Curry,
a
senior
in
the
law
and
public
policy
program
at
Eastern,
Technical,
High
School
and
the
intern
for
the
Baltimore
County
commission
for
women
as
a
young
woman
entering
College
I
have
a
first-hand
perspective
into
just
how
vulnerable
women
can
be
within
this
world.
That
is
a
world
that
views
us
as
simply
as
an
easy
target,
seeing
as
I
will
be
on
my
own
within
the
next
few
months,
I
recently
began
looking
into
issues
that
could
impact
me
now.
L
It
was
of
no
surprise
to
me
that
power
violence
has
proven
to
disproportionately
affect
women.
However,
I
was
surprised
to
find
that
Baltimore
County
has
some
of
the
highest
reported
cases
relating
to
this
type
of
violence
within
Maryland.
It
was
this
discovery
that
led
the
commission
and
I
to
take
action
just
this
afternoon,
I
traveled
to
Annapolis
to
testify
on
a
bill
Kushner,
Amy
and
I
drafted,
which
relates
to
this
very
issue.
This
legislative
initiative
is
titled,
see
someone
save
one,
save
someone
and
will
work
to
combat
human
trafficking
at
its
root
Transportation.
L
However,
human
trafficking
is
just
one
of
the
many
forms
of
power
driven
violence
that
women
must
faced
every
day:
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault,
child
abuse,
vulnerable,
adult
abuse.
These
are
all
types
of
power
driven
violence
that
are
prevalent
within
our
society.
The
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
we
are
in
a
dire
need
of
a
place
that
can
not
only
assist
with
all
of
these
issues
but
solve
them
as
well.
This
is
where
the
Family
Safety
Center
would
come
into
play
by
establishing
a
Family,
Safety
Center.
L
We
would
be
able
to
provide
a
safe
space
to
victims
of
all
types
of
violence.
At
the
singular
location
they
would
be
able
to
receive
any
type
of
Aid,
such
as
legal
assistance,
counseling
case
managers
and
so
much
more.
These
resources
would
be
provided
through
satellite
offices
in
the
center
holding
representatives
of
already
existing
service
providers.
L
Not
only
would
this
eliminate
any
hassle
that
victims
May
otherwise
experience
from
having
to
travel
to
multiple
places
for
help,
but
it
would
also
help
to
ensure
their
safety
throughout
the
process,
so
it
is
essential
that
a
center
such
as
this
be
put
into
place
in
order
to
provide
victims
of
power,
violence
with
the
means
necessary
to
escape
their
situations
and
ultimately
save
lives.
Thank
you.
D
C
C
You
need
the
courage
to
speak
publicly
about
something
so
I
do
appreciate
your
advocacy
and
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
just
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
a
ninth
grade,
AP
government
class
at
Eastern
Tech,
and
you
are
part
of
a
school
of
very
engaged
young
people
in
a
lot
of
different
areas.
So
you
should
be
proud
of
your
school,
so
go
Mavericks.
M
M
M
I
C
I
I
C
There
are
numerous
programs
within
the
school
system
and
numerous
programs
that
the
Police
Department
through
our
school
resource
officers,
participate
in
to
try
to
hone
in
on
youth
that
are
at
risk
and
are
at
risk
of
of
either
committing
crimes
or
disrupt
just
disrupting
their
school,
which
makes
a
very
difficult
learning
environment
for
everyone
else.
So
I
think
the
programs
are
in
place,
but
I
will
Echo
what
the
county
executive
said
a
few
minutes
ago,
and
it's
something
that
I
believed
since
I
started.
C
Really
thinking
about
this
a
decade
ago
is
that
our
schools
and
our
children
are
only
as
successful
as
the
interaction
that
our
parents
have
with
their
kids
and
the
schools.
So
I
think
a
lot
of
the
the
the
opportunities
to
keep
kids
out
of
trouble
really
starts
at
home,
and
we
have
community
schools
that
are
designated
Community
Schools
in
in
our
district,
and
these
schools
have
social
workers.
D
And
I'll
just
I'll
just
add:
if
there
are
gaps,
that's
why
we
have
these
conversations
to
connect
you
with
director
Smith.
If
there
are
more
Rec
programs
that
we
should
be
looking
at
director,
Leonard
Howies
here
from
Workforce
Development,
he
leads
an
effort
around
summer,
youth
and
employment.
So
if
there
are
needs
there
Leonard
could
you
stand
up
and
sort
of
just
waved
everyone
and
then
mentioned,
encourage
you
to
let
us
know
how
else
we
can
partner.
M
N
Laura
Norman
I'm
an
ESL
teacher
English
as
a
second
language
teacher
at
Dundalk,
Elementary
School.
This
is
my
sixth
year
teaching
and
my
fourth
year
with
BCPS
today
at
work,
I
talked
to
a
first
year
teacher.
She
told
me
how
she
was
exhausted
and
overwhelmed
that
there
were
not
enough
hours
in
the
day,
not
the
work
day,
the
whole
day
to
get
done
what
she
needed
to
do.
If
you
average
out
Elementary
planning
time
it
comes.
It
averages
out
to
seven
minutes
a
subject
today.
N
That's
respectable
and
keeps
up
with
inflation,
which
is
currently
over
six
percent,
even
with
record
funding.
The
current
proposal
offers
a
zero
dollar
raise
to
keep
up
with
inflation
specifically,
and
that
was
something
that
we
had
gained
last
year.
So
it's
something
that
we
essentially
lost
I
want
to
tell
them
that
BCPS
is
doing
everything
they
can
to
retain
great
teachers.
I
can't
make
that
true.
Just
by
hoping,
we
need
your
help
to
make
that
expectation
a
reality.
Yes,
teachers
are
overworked.
Yes,
there's
a
teacher's
shortage.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
I
P
Good
evening
Cindy
Sexton
to
have
co-president
and
my
mission
as
it
has
been
since
day,
one
is
recruiting
and
retaining
Educators
for
our
schools.
In
the
interest
of
time,
I'm
going
to
make
Five
Points
a
properly
staffed
school
will
help
improve
learning
outcomes
and
help
address
discipline
concerns.
We
need
the
Educators.
While
BCPS
has
made
strides
in
increasing
salaries,
we
still
rank
ninth
in
the
state
in
career
earnings
for
our
Educators.
Our
budget
priority
is
an
historic
restructuring
of
our
salary
scale,
so
Baltimore
County
can
compete
with
other
school
systems
in
Maryland.
P
D
Q
Q
I
Q
Q
I
Owning
a
business
can
be
very
difficult
and
challenging
oftentimes
it's
difficult
to
find
the
paperwork
translated
or
available
in
other
languages.
Renting
properties
can
be
very
difficult,
but
if
there's
a
Community,
Marketplace
or
a
property
or
a
building
that
can
be
used
by
small
business
minority-owned
businesses.
This
would
be
very
helpful.
Q
I
Q
I
D
Thank
you,
Terry
hickey.
Are
you
here
tonight
all
right?
Why
don't
Terry?
You
want
to
just
talk
about
sort
of
the
housing
work
generally
that
we're
trying
to
do
with
some
of
the
vacants
I
think,
there's
probably
general
interest
in
that,
and
then
we
can
also
connect
to
talk
about
some
of
these
other
ideas
about
other
opportunities
with
some
of
our
vegans.
R
Hi
everybody
I'm
Terry,
hickey
I,
run
the
Department
of
Housing
Community
Development
and
real
quick.
The
idea
is
very
simple:
we
have
communities
that
have
vacant
and
bladed
properties.
We
have
sort
of
a
historic
looming
need
for
additional
housing
for
everybody,
our
seniors,
our
Working
Families
folks,
just
coming
out
of
college
families
with
children.
So
the
idea
is
by
with
this
new
legislation,
is
to
create
a
definition
of
a
vacant
structure.
R
Allow
us
to
then,
as
a
county
advertise
publicly
what
properties
have
been
abandoned
and
vacant
and
then
work
with
both
developers
and
the
property
owners
to
allow
those
properties
to
be
upcycled
into
important
roles
for
family
housing,
first
time
home
ownership,
but
think
about
this.
The
county
executive's
vision
is
to
combine
public
amenities,
things
that
we
need
and
want
with
housing
so
start
to
think
Beyond,
just
vacant
individual
houses
think
about
vacant
commercial
vacant,
retail,
that's
sitting
there
causing
a
health
problem
in
communities.
R
What
if
we
could
find
a
path
to
Turning
those
into
mixed
income,
mixed
use,
vibrant
community
centers,
with
Workforce
programs,
small
business
space
and
places
for
families
and
individuals
to
live.
That's
the
plan
and
we
think
we've
got
a
real
path
there
and
funding
to
help
get
it
off
the
ground,
so
love
to
talk
more.
Q
S
County
Executive
olshevsky
council
member
Crandall.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I'm
Lloyd
Allen
a
special
educator
in
mathematics.
Speaking
as
an
individual
in
1999
I,
remember:
John,
kreiner
of
BCPS
coming
to
Ohio
State
good
bucks
to
recruit
me
at
the
time.
At
the
time,
Ohio
was
a
net
exporter
of
teachers.
Then,
as
now
Maryland
needed
to
import
teachers,
Maryland
Imports
over
two-thirds
of
its
educators,
celery
was
not
my
only
consideration,
but
it
was
certainly
a
factor
before
looking
at
the
salary
scales.
S
I
knew
that
I
would
return
to
my
birthplace
of
Arizona
to
teach
then
I
looked
at
their
compensation
and
crossed
them
off
my
list.
Now.
There's
a
national
teacher
shortage
and
my
friends
keep
leaving
the
profession
in
2026.
All
Maryland
jurisdictions
will
need
to
meet
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year
as
the
minimum
salary
for
starting
teachers
to
recruit.
We
will
need
to
beat
that
to
retain.
We
will
need
the
salary
compression
that
was
that
was
agreed
to
last
year.
S
T
My
name
is
Isabel
Aguilar
I'm,
ambassador
of
Latino
education,
Advance
fund.
We
have
a
more
80
families
in
the
county,
a
Latino
family.
Of
course.
One
of
the
biggest
challenge
for
all
parents
is
the
language
the
parents
are,
and
parents
with
children
with
a
special
needs,
those
kids.
They
are
American,
Theory
and
I'm.
Sorry
for
repeat
this,
but
we
pay
taxes.
Why?
We
repeat
all
the
time
these,
because
that
some
people
thinking
because
we
are
Latinos,
we
don't
pay
taxes
or
we
every
Latino
is
in
on
document.
T
T
We
need
Edge,
County
School
have
an
interpreter
all
day
and
not
just
a
person
in
the
telephone.
When
those
parents
have
a
situation
to
have
a
the
children
suffer
bullying,
they
need
wait
a
week
to
have
appointment
with
a
teacher
or
come
to
the
school
to
The
Interpreter
for
the
cell
phone
help.
We
need
somebody
in
person
in
the
school
to
help
with
that
language.
This
is
we
asking
thank
you.
D
U
Feel
your
thunder
so
good
evening,
so
one
thank
you
for
letting
me
have
the
opportunity
to
share
with
everyone.
We
do
recognize
in
the
school
system
that
our
students
that
are
multilingual
Learners
our
students,
are
about
11
000,
strong
across
our
school
system,
and
we
currently
have
the
model
at
the
elementary
level
where
students
are
served
in
their
home,
Elementary
School
and
our
model
for
grades
6
to
12
is
one
that
is
many
decades
old,
where
students
go
to
a
center.
U
What
we
now
know
is
that
it's
much
better
for
our
students
to
be
in
their
home
schools
because
they
have
access
to
resources,
they
have
access
to
participate
in
athletics
and
many
of
the
Community
Schools
resources
that
are
available
in
their
neighborhood,
and
so
we
as
a
school
system,
are
working
to
respond
to
that.
We
continue
to
partner,
of
course,
with
our
County
funding
source
to
request
resources
for
our
English
Learners,
regardless
of
whatever
language
is
their
home
language
and
so
I
know.
U
Javeen
I
see
is
here
this
evening
and
we
work
together,
and
so
we
do
understand
that
there
is
a
great
need
and
we
are
striving
to
build
out
those
resources
for
you
in
each
and
every
school.
Because
again,
our
multilingual
Learners
are
fully
embedded
across
our
school
system
in
our
neighborhoods
and
communities.
As
you
can
see
this
evening,
so
I
hope,
I,
helped
and
I
want
to
turn
it
back
over.
V
D
Yeah,
so
thank
you
for
that.
I,
I'm,
gonna,
I,
I,
I,
think
I.
This
was
sort
of
a
conversation
with
last
year
at
this
town,
hall
is
I.
I
can't
speak
to
what
happened
14
years
ago
or
why
things
didn't
move
along,
but
I.
Think
director,
Andrea
Walker
is
here
with
her
team
jennyosa
on
our
sustainability
teams.
W
So
we
were
just
notified
in
November
and
December
that
we
received
the
federal
grants
we're
going
to
start
moving
forward
so
I,
you
know
I,
don't
want
to
say
we're
in
the
consultant
stage,
but
we've
got
the
money.
So
that's
what
we
needed
all
the
time.
Now
we've
got
the
money.
Now
we
can
move
forward
and
do
some
really
great
things
here.
So
I
can
connect
with
you
and
we
can
make
sure
we
stay
in
the
loop
together
on
what
happens
next.
X
I'm
president
of
the
Miller's
Island
residence
Association
I'm,
here
in
consideration
not
only
for
our
community
but
our
neighboring
communities,
Miller's
Island
Road,
currently
has
one
lane
in
each
Direction
and
many
people
who
walk,
run
and
bike
use
that
road
sharing
it
with
traffic.
Someone
could
very
easily
come
around
a
corner
and
hit
people
on
the
road
and
the
sides
of
the
road
are
not
conducive
to
people
easily.
X
Stop
to
ask
for
funding
for
a
feasibility
study
to
determine
if
a
walking
running
and
biking
path
could
be
placed
along
the
north
side
of
the
road
along
the
one
and
a
half
mile
path.
That's
currently
black
Marsh.
That
would
join
it
with
our
Miller's
Island
Park.
So
people
could
park
there
and
use
the
path.
It
would
not
only
be
usable
for
us,
but
also
Edgemere
Fort
Howard
residents,
who
would
find
it
useful.
X
The
current
biking
and
pedestrian
plan
only
calls
for
striping
Within
urge
more
people
to
use
it,
but
unfortunately
it
also
increases
the
risk
that
some
will
be
injured
or
killed
numbered
streets
in
Miller's
Island.
The
ends
of
those
are
County
Parks
and
Recreation
property
designed
for
residents
to
use
for
access
to
Back
River
I'd
like
to
ask
for
consideration
of
funding
to
put
on
a
canoe
and
kayak
launch,
preferably
11th
or
12th,
Street
close
to
Miller's
Island
Park,
so
that
people
could
drop
them
off
and
then
park
at
Miller's,
Island,
Park.
G
Good
evening
my
name
is
Kevin
McDonough
I
serve
as
the
president
of
the
Rockaway
Beach
Improvement
Association,
representing
the
Turkey
Point
and
Cape
May
peninsulas
in
Essex
I'm
here
this
evening
to
articulate
on
behalf
of
our
community
several
areas
of
Interest.
With
regard
to
the
upcoming
County
budget,
as
it's
being
formulated,
we
would
like
to
see
the
following
included
in
the
upcoming
County
budget
funding
for
a
new
Essex
police
precinct,
additional
monies
allocated
for
project
open
space
and
for
the
coastal
rural
Legacy
area.
G
Continued
investment
in
the
Essex
commercial,
revitalization,
District
funding
for
upgrades
to
an
existing
horse
trail
system
that
links
Pottery,
Farm,
Park,
Sioux,
Creek,
Park,
Barren,
Schmidt,
Park
and
Turkey
Point
Park
to
convert
that
into
a
safe
and
accessible
path
for
hiking
biking
and
walking
allocation
of
funds
for
the
expansion
of
the
medic
substation
on
Back,
River,
Neck
Road.
To
add
fire
apparatus
reinstituting
the
small
grant
program
for
the
Department
of
planning
that
was
popular
for
the
community
Improvement
projects
under
the
Jim
Smith
Administration.
G
Dredging
of
local
waterways,
which
has
not
been
dread,
which
have
not
been
dredged
in
many
years
and
are
beginning
to
fill
in
with
sediment,
which
is
impacting
the
accessibility
to
our
area's
Crown
Jewel
and
the
establishment
of
an
Eastside
Animal
Shelter
bcas
facility.
We
appreciate
your
consideration
of
our
comments
and
suggestions
and
look
forward
to
reviewing
the
upcoming
budget
proposal.
C
C
Y
Z
Name,
Bill
Walton
I
live
over
on
Liberty
Parkway
in
old
Dundalk.
First
thing,
thanks
very
much
for
making
sure
that
our
garbage
guy
is
under
contract
and
I've
just
been
notified
on
that
thanks
very
much
for
that
one
thing:
that's
very
important:
at
Dundalk
Avenue
we
have
a
very
bad
situation
with
street
racing.
Z
Street
racing
is
starting
to
become
a
fad
throughout
the
country,
but
Dundalk
Avenue
seems
to
be
one
of
those
hot
tamales
and
I
do
believe
that
our
Police
Department
can't
babysit
that
road,
especially
when
they're
coming
from
the
city
and
coming
from
Sparrow's
Point
as
well.
We
have
new
workforce
out
there
now
and
they're
all
coming
back
and
forth
on
Dundalk
Avenue,
and
it's
only
35
miles
an
hour
on
that
road.
Well,
they
don't
do
that
and
they
were
actually
running
the
lights
too.
Now
we
have
a
school
in
the
area
as
well.
Z
We
have
people
that
walk
to
school.
We
have
Mickey.
D's
is
right.
There
we
have
the
park.
You
know
I
call
downtown
dundall,
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
people
they're
walking
in
the
street,
but
we
have
cars,
doing
80
100
miles
an
hour
now
who
what's
going
to
take
a
rollover,
gonna
roll
over
and
do
a
townhouse
or
roll
over
into
an
apartment
or
roll
over
into
a
store
and
kill
everybody?
Z
Z
D
You
Bill
I
do
want
to
just
give
the
if
someone
from
the
police
department
want
to
just
give
a
general
response,
and
then
I
also
say
just
generally.
The
councilman
has
reached
out
to
me
in
our
office
of
government.
Affairs
is
actually
working
to
coordinate
because
once
there
is,
there
is
an
Enforcement
issue
once
folks
are
outside
of
Baltimore
County.
So
we
are
trying
to
coordinate
meetings
for
that
intersection
more
generally,
to
talk
to
our
city
counterparts.
D
But
if
PD
wants
to
talk
into
that
and
then
as
for
the
speed
cameras,
State
legislation
dictates
where
they
are
I,
believe
it's
a
half
mile
radius
within
a
school,
we're
happy
to
take
a
look
at
it.
I
think
what
we've
done
historically
in
Baltimore
County
they've
been
at
school
sites,
but
we
can
certainly
have
a
conversation.
So
a
PD
wants
a.
AA
As
far
as
the
speeding
on
Dundalk
Avenue,
the
majority
of
what
we
found
is
in
the
city
we
normally
meet
with
the
city,
Captain
Brian,
Hopkin
and
he's
he's
been
very
helpful
with
us
in
in
talking
for
that.
With
that,
what
we're
basically
trying
to
do
is
when
these
Street
rakers
come
up.
The
Baltimore
County
Line
is
at
the
railroad
bridge
and
basically
get
Squires
on
halibut
Avenue
we
try
to
as
soon
as
the
groups
come
up
and
they
start
in
the
city.
AA
We
kind
of
take
that
quarter
over
to
keep
them
out
of
the
county.
A
lot
of
the
noise
that
the
residents
are
hearing
and
that
they're
complaining
about
is
coming
from
all
the
way
up
into
the
city,
so
we'll
be
meeting
with
them
in
the
future.
We've
written
quite
a
few
tickets
and
we've
we've
actually
got
one
of
the
groups
that
kind
of
went
down
an
Edgemere
and
got
locked
into
like
a
a
fenced
in
lot,
and
we
were
able
to
charge
every
one
of
them
with
street
racing.
AA
C
I'll
just
add
that
I
am
hopeful
for
greater
cooperation
between
Baltimore
city
and
Baltimore
County,
because
that
intersection
there
is
a
complete
circus.
We
all
know
how
bad
it
is.
We
we
passed
it
we've
seen
the
homeless
Camp
be
built
on
the
city,
Side
of
Dundalk
Avenue,
we've
seen
other
problems
with
prostitution,
drug
dealing
and
Baltimore
County
Police
will
do
everything
they
can
to
protect
the
Baltimore
County
side,
but
they
simply
cannot
go
over
into
the
city
and
do
anything
because
they
would
be
out
of
jurisdiction.
C
So
we
need
the
cooperation
of
Baltimore
City,
the
Baltimore
city
councilman,
the
mayor
and
the
Baltimore
City
Police
Department,
so
I'm
hopeful
that
those
relationships
can
continue
to
be
built
because
I
think
they're
essential
to
that
that
area
and
by
the
way
that
was
Captain,
Glenn
wedek.
By
the
way
the
precinct
Commander
for
the
Dundalk
Precinct
North,
Point,
Precinct
great
cop,
not
so
good
at
microphone.
AB
For
at
least
beninger
Sussex
Community
Association
president
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
funding
the
feasibility
study
for
our
new
Essex
Precinct
in
last
year's
budget.
I
would
like
to
make
the
ask
that
we
continue
that
momentum
and
allocate
the
funds
for
a
new
police
precinct
once
the
feasibility
study
is
complete.
AB
Additionally,
we
are
thankful
for
the
improvements
that
are
happening
in
Cox's
Point
Park
I
feel
that
it's
important
to
let
you
know
that
we
see
you
and
appreciate
what
we
are
seeing
now
for
this
year's
ask
expand,
improve
the
BCS
Baltimore
County
animal
services
facility
at
dugman
way
or
use
the
old
police
station
Government
Center
on
Mary
Boulevard
at
wise
to
provide
a
stray
hold
facility
on
the
East
side.
This
will
provide
fair
and
Equitable
access
to
County
Services
for
this
area,
which
is
underserved.
Many
of
our
residents
lack,
Transportation
or
Sherry
vehicle.
AB
Making
the
truck
to
Baldwin
creates
a
hardship
because
of
its
remote
location,
distance
from
the
East
side
and
hours
of
operation
which
coincide
with
most
constituents.
Work
schedules:
25
percent
of
the
entire
County
25
percent
of
the
live
impoundment
stray
pickups
were
from
the
Essex
Dundalk
and
Middle
River
area.
I
can
assure
you
that
number
would
be
likely
be
much
higher
if
it
were
not
for
the
countless
hours.
I
spend
skiing
animals
at
large
for
microchips
and
getting
them
back
to
their
owners.
AB
I
stopped
counting
at
250
for
last
year
on
the
east
side,
so
they
don't
have
to
Trek
across
the
county
to
the
shelter
I
want
to
touch
real
quickly.
On
one
thing,
there
were
797
redemptions
last
year
in
Essex,
Middle,
River
and
Dundalk
so
doing.
This
could
also
provide
a
space
to
hold
adoption
events
and
other
services
for
this
area.

to
continue

Evening,

my
name
is
Donald
Jones
and
I'm
here
I'm
here
this
evening,
representing
the
Fleming
Senior
Center
and
serve
as
its
president
in
order
to
request
a
budget
line
for
the
center.
The
building
that
currently
houses,
both
the
Fleming
Senior
Center
and
the
Head
Start
program
was
originally
designed
as
a
Recreation
and
Parks
facility
and
fails
to
meet
the
needs
of
seniors.
AF
The
primary
need
for
the
Fleming
Senior
Center
is
the
construction
of
a
new
building
design
specific
for
Senior
Services
short
of
a
total
replacement
of
the
site.
There
are
specific
opportunities
to
modernize
upgrade
or
repurpose
assets.
These
opportunities
include
one
increase
the
County's
plan
for
an
additional
17
parking
places
by
converting
one
of
the
underused
basketball
courts
to
additional
parking
with
more
handicap,
accessible
parking
spaces
to
accommodate
the
center's
450
members.

installation
of
a
second
handicap
accessible
entrance:

increased
internet
capacity
to
service
the
needs
of
the
building.
AF
This
is
critical
for
installation
of
a
fully
functional
kitchen.
Currently,
the
kitchen
area
is
shared
with
the
Head
Start
program.
Five
increase
in
the
number

attending
the
Center
events,
six
replacement
of
light
bulbs
with
daylight
fluorescent
bulbs,
which
are
much
brighter
with
comparable
costs
and
better

One
two:
there
we
go
the
parking
lot.
Expansion
is
actually
scheduled
to
start
in
the
spring.
We've
already
bid
the
contract
on
that
and
Donald
and
I
had
a
conversation
earlier
tonight.
I
have
his
list
as
well,
and
we
cleared
up
a
few
things
and
we'll
continue
to
look
at
how
we
can
expand
the
center
we've,
given
them
a
fitness
center,
which
has
been
a
wonderful
thing.
Thank
you
for
that
and
we're
trying
to
make
sure
we
provide
Equitable
Services
across
the
county.

Good
evening
Mr,
County,
Executive
and
councilman,
and
all
of
your
executive
secretaries-
thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight
and
and
thanks
to
everybody
that
shows
how
strong
our
community
is
by
showing
up
here
tonight
to
represent
so
many
different
groups.
So
I
appreciate
that
I,
don't
like
taxes
I'd,
like
my
taxes,
lowered
I,
just
want
to
have
somebody
on
record,
saying
that
that
said,
my
name
is
Greg.
Massoni
I
represent
several
homeowners
on
Dunlow
Road.
AJ
Last
year
we
fought
a
family
crisis
center
moving
in
to
the
old
buildings
at
St
Rita's
this
year
it
appears
there's
a
drug
rehab
group,
at
least
that's
the
rumor
we'd
like
for
that
not
to
happen.
This
is
a
residential
street
families
care
about
their
homes.
They
take
care
of
them
and
and
I,
don't
understand
why
we
need
to
put
services
not
that
they're
not
needed,
but
not
needed
on
a
residential
street.
AJ
D
I
I
don't
want
to
commit
to
it,
but
if
there
is,
if
there
is
Recreation
space,
I
actually
believe
it
might
be
eligible
for
a
program
Open
Space
acquisition
for
Community
use
generally,
so
we
we're
happy
to
work
with
Department
of
recreation
parks.
If
you've
got
to
contact
Greg
would
love
to
sort
of
you
also
have
a
famous
another
famous
I
know
you're
one
of
the
famous
resume.
You
have
a
new.
C
And
while,
while
we're
at
it
before
Miss
Brook
starts
I
mentioned
that
we
have
the
humanitarian
of
the
year
but
she's
not
speaking
this
evening,
I'm,
not
sure
why?
Because
she
has
a
lot
to
say
and
she's
involved
in
so
many
things,
but
we
also
have
the
Dundalk
optimist,
citizen
of
the
Year
Jessica
Lilly
here
this
evening.
So
thank
you.
Jessica
for
coming.
AK
Flooding
and
infrastructure
problems.
We
greatly
appreciate
your
staff's
substantial
investment
in
this
project
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
them
and
our
partners
to
plan
and
Implement

resilience,
strategies
and
solutions
on
behalf
of
the
Turner
Station
conservation
teams,
I'm
presenting
three.
If
our
needs
this
evening,
number
one
geresbeck
food
market
closed
its
doors
on
June
17
2018.
we've
been
living
in
a
food
desert
for
over
four
and
a
half
years.
AK
Someone
said
access
to
food
is
a
basic
human
right,
vital
for
good
health
and,
ultimately
for
life
itself.
We
desperately
need
a
grocery
store
and
a
full-service
shopping
center
at
Logan
Village
number
two,
the
roundabout
for
traffic
calming
on
Dundalk
Avenue
and
sellers
Point
Road
is
the
main
entrance
to
the
Turner
Station
and
Water's
Edge
communities.
It's
an
awful
eyesore
and
it
poses
safety
issues.
Large
trucks
and
buses
are
constantly
damaging
the
roundabout.
AK
It
really
needs
to
be
re-engineered
and
reconstructed
with
the
addition
of
beautiful
landscaping
to
create
a
safe
and
welcoming
entrance
to
our
communities.
Number
three:
a
sidewalk
is
needed
on
Main
Street
for
better
safety
and
walkability.
It
should
extend
from
Ash
Avenue
to
new
Pittsburgh
Avenue
across
from
the
Browning
Highway
wall.
We've
requested
this
sidewalk
for
several
years.
I
also
have
a
another
request:
Saint
Matthew
food
pantry
is
doing
a
wonderful
job
and
they
like
to
know
if
the
county
could
find
some
surplus
funds
and
could
they
restore
Baltimore
County
covid-19
emergency
food
operations.
D
Thank
you,
Edie
I
I
did
want
to
touch
on
the
the
food
market,
in
particular
for
this
crowd.
So
recognizing
that
there
is
a
real
Gap
I
mean
we
were
proud
to
partner,
with
with
you
and
others,
to
stand
up
a
food
shuttle.
As
an
interim
measure,
we
announced
recently
that
we
were
lucky
enough
to
be
able
to
partner
and
and
land
a
grocer
over
in
the
west
side
of
Baltimore
County.
D
D
To
the
extent
we
have
additional
support
and
partnership
from
the
owners
of
both
either
Dundalk
Village
shopping
center
and
or
the
two,
the
two
centers.
You
know
that,
obviously
will
help
facilitate,
but
we
are
actively
working
on
that.
If
you
want
to
connect
with
director
Howie,
he
and
his
Deputy
Todd
dolbin
are
actively
working
on
on
those
efforts
and
so
I
just
want
folks
to
know.
We
are.
D
Addition
to
the
food
shuttle
to
try
to
actually
land
a
grocer
and
that's
a
focus
of
ours,
Lauren
buckler,
who
is
the
deputy
director
I,
don't
know
if
d'andra
is
here,
but
that
was
Lauren
earlier.
That's
the
Andrea
Walker.
We
have
a
new
community
connectivity
program
so
that
we,
if
we
haven't
already,
we
should
make
sure
that
we
are
connecting
the
two
of
you
to
go
through
and
talk
talk
about
our
analysis
in
in
our
sidewalk
programs
that
we
have
for
or
if
anybody's
interested
in
sidewalk
stuff.
AL
So
very
happy
to
hear
somebody
talk
about
the
North
Point
government
center
tonight.
The
Government
Center
is
a
very
important
property
that
we
have
in
the
area
and
the
citizens
of
the
community
who
live
in
that
area
are
very
concerned
about,
what's
going
to
happen,
checking
out
the
school
prices
if
a
school
would
happen
to
go
there,
school
prices
or
100
150
million
dollars.
AL
If
a
new
school,
which
you're
saying
needs
one
for
spare's,
point
of
need
to
find
a
place
to
do
that,
put
in
the
the
land
you're
talking,
possibly
especially
with
the
20.25
million
that
was
already
guaranteed
to
the
developer,
could
be
200
million
dollars
or
more.
We
don't
want
to
lose
200
million
dollars.
We
want
to
keep
the
North
Point
governments
under
where
it's
at
so
I'd
like
to
see
some
figures
on
the
the
maintenance
that's
been
going
on.
There
I
heard
that
flooring
was
going
on
there.
AL
AL
Okay,
and
on
top
of
that,
with
the
with
Dundalk
Avenue
at
Main,
Street
I've
seen
so
many
accidents
there
I've
actually
documented
people
that
are
being
killed,
not
on
Holabird,
not
not
on
Dundalk
Avenue,
but
further
down
where,
like
the
Royal
Farms,
that
stores
at
I
was
right
down
the
street,
but
someone
was
killed
right
there.
Somebody
speeding
down
the
road
took
out
a
couple
cars.
Somebody
pulled
a
kid
out
of
the
back
of
their
car.
AL
I
was
so
glad
that
that
kid
was
okay,
but
someone
died
there
that
day,
that
was
awful
right
near
Mount
Main
Street
about
two
months
ago.
Someone
was
killed
there
too,
so
the
problem
is
not
only
up
further.
It
is
down
they
they
actually
going
towards
Water's
Edge
turning
past
Main
Street.
They
they
consider
that
stretch
a
race
area
and
they
come
up
there,
probably
about
60
miles
an
hour,
and
then
they
blast
down
towards
they
blast
down
towards
Waterside.
So
we
have
a
real
problem.
AL
There
please
I
thank
the
police
that
are
out
there
doing
their
work
all
the
time
whenever
they're
doing
I
thank
them
for
for
being
in
the
neighborhood.
Please
put
some
radar
right
there
at
the
Dollar
Tree.
You
will
generate
a
lot
of
money
for
the
county
and
also
you
will
protect
the
kids
and
everyone
else
from
being
injured
or
killed.
B
D
So
Scott,
thank
you
as
you're
well
aware,
I
mean
this
is
currently
still
before
the
Board
of
Public
Works.
What
I
will
tell
you
is
and
I
think
the
councilman
and
I
agree
on
this.
Is
that
what
what
was
originally
proposed
is
insufficient
for
the
community.
It
doesn't
meet
the
need,
so
we
are
open
to
continued
dialogue
around
the
issue
to
see
if
there
is
a
path
for
at
the
site
that
that
is
amenable
to,
hopefully
everyone,
but
at
least,
but
certainly
more
people.
D
Well,
as
we've
talked
about
in
Prior
meetings,
there
is
a
there
is
an
agreement.
That's
in
place
that
we
have
to
wait
to
see
the
disposition
of
that
process
to
then
be
able
to
determine
the
next
steps,
but
we
are
I.
Think
the
councilman
and
I
agree
that
what
was
currently
what
was
initially
proposed
is
insufficient.
It
doesn't
mean
the
community's
needs.
D
AM
Our
community
board
is
currently
located
on
Main
Street
at
balnew
Avenue,
it's
two-sided
and
it
informs
the
community
of
upcoming
events
and
activities
providing
power,
so
the
LED
lighting
can
be
installed
would
provide
more
visibility
and
would
bring
the
board
up
to
date.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
my
request
and
I
look
forward
to
Future
communication
about
this
project.
AN
My
name
is
Peggy
sierkowski
and
I'm,
representing
Colgate
Recreation
Council.
Our
Recreation
council
is
in
dire
need
of
a
new
recreation
facility
at
no
lights,
our
foundation
and
our
little
Center
is
cracked.
There's
no
parking,
the
walls
are
chipping,
the
stairs
going
down
to
it.
The
fields
and
the
rec
center
are
in
bad
shape
and
the
retaining
wall
needs
to
be
replaced.
Our
rec
council
has
grown
multiplied
multitudes
at
this
time.
AN
We
have
about
22,
indoor
soccer
teams,
seven
basketball
teams,
we're
expecting
seven
baseball
teams,
18
outdoor
soccer
teams
and
one
softball
team,
and
we
have
a
dance
Center.
We
need
a
new
facility,
it's
dangerous.
It's
not
been
updated.
Since
it's
been
put
up,
it's
been
infested
and
we've
taken
care
of
that
and
tried
to
paint
to
keep
it
clean.
D
So
director
Smith
you're
the
man
of
the
night.
If
you
want
to
see
Poppy
back
there
with
his
his
Recreation
team,
we
will
make
sure
that
we
have
not
just
wrecking
Parks
but
I'll
make
sure
someone
from
my
office
I,
don't
know
if
I
know,
I
know
our
administrative
officer
Stacy
Rogers
is
here.
Elizabeth
Sachs
is
our
Deputy
for
health
and
community
services,
so
maybe
Elizabeth.
We
can
make
sure
that
our
office
is
represented,
like
a
site
visit
to
sort
of
check
out
the
conditions
and
have
a
conversation.
D
AO
We
can
go
to
have
fun
and
stay
safe
in
our
community
or
just
somewhere
that
we
know
that
we
won't
get
in
trouble
or
not
not
just
sitting
on
the
street
and
getting
in
trouble
because
there's
a
lot
of
people
that,
like
kids,
that
are
just
walking
the
streets
and
getting
in
trouble
from
all
from
just
doing
things,
what
they
want
to
have
fun
with
so
I
I
want
a
community
center
or
a
park
or
just
some
place.
We
can
go
to
to
make
sure
we
have
a
place
to
have
fun
and
stay
safe.
AP
Before
my
name
is
Isaac,
Knox
I
go
to
Sandalwood
Elementary
and
just
as
Nehemiah
said,
we
we
would
like
a
place
to
for
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
fun
whether
it's
a
park,
a
playground
or
Community
Center,
and
because
we
need
a
place
where
we
can
have
fun,
especially
people,
my
age
and
older,
sometimes
the
younger,
and
we
actually
just
need
something
like
a
basketball
court
or
or
a
soccer
field,
volleyball
place
either.
One
of
them
will
work,
but
we
just
need
any
place
that
we
could
have
fun.
Y
D
AQ
I
AQ
I
I
go
around
sharing
this
flyer
that
I
created
myself
and
print
myself,
encouraging
our
neighbors
to
pick
up
trash,
not
just
in
their
neighbor
in
their
house,
in
their
neighborhood,
but
everywhere,
so
that
slowly
we
can
start
changing
things.
I've
had
to
not
only
be
in
my
neighborhood
and
do
this,
but
I've
also
done
this
in
the
freeway.
AQ
I
I
am
tired
that
of
hearing
that
Baltimore
county
is
dirty.
I
am
tired
of
hearing
people
that
come
to
visit
me
that
say
that
Baltimore
is
gross
I
put
my
grain
of
salt
in
helping
clean
up
our
community,
my
neighbors
friends.
They
all
know
that
this
is
something
that
I'm
passionate
about
and
I
bring
them
with
me.
AQ
I
AQ
I
D
C
The
one
thing
that
I
would
suggest-
and
we
could
make
this
happen-
I
think
that
Doug
from
my
staff
is
still
here
is
that
you
connect
with
one
of
the
environmental
groups
and
cleanup
groups
that
we
have
in
the
area.
We
have
several.
We
have
clean
bread
and
cheese
Creek.
We
have
I'm
going
to
miss
the
the
Edgemere
name.
Someone
can
it
escapes
me
right
now,
but
we
have
Maryland
waterways
Foundation.
We
have
Back
River
restoration,
that
conducts
cleanups
and
they
have
grant
funding
from
Baltimore,
County
and
other
sources
to
provide
tools.
C
Bags
Pickers
buckets
all
that
stuff
and
they're
also
they're
also
doing
they're
also
doing
public
education
on
on
on
this
issue.
So
I
would
encourage
you
I,
don't
know
if
Doug
is
still
here
or
not,
but
if
he's
not,
we
can
get
your
contact.
Information
put
you
in
touch
with
these
environmental
groups
and
I
think
you
would
be
a
great
asset
to
to
those
groups
and
to
work
with
them.
AR
Is
Gail
woods
and
thank
the
county,
executive
and
members
of
the
cabinet
for
providing
this
opportunity
for
the
public
to
give
input
on
the
budget.
My
request
this
evening
is
for
money
in
the
budget
to
allow
for
increased
surveillance
of
Veterans
Park
on
Shipping
Place
between
shipping
place
and
Dundalk
Avenue.
The
park
has
become
an
eyesore
because
of
litter
and
Furniture
left
by
afternoon
gatherers,
which
then
becomes
an
invitation
for
others
to
use
during
the
night
or
early
in
the
morning.
The
park
has
also
become
a
home
of
drug
trafficking
and
seemingly
illicit
activity.
AR
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
problem
to
be
addressed
by
reckon
Parks
or
if
it
is
a
Police
Issue
repeated
calls
to
both
organizations
have
not
given
me
any
any
results,
and
it's
it's
probably
a
little
bit
of
both,
but
there
needs
to
be
some
kind
of
resolution.
It
has
become
unsafe
for
law-abiding
citizens.
This
park
is
well
lighted.
AR
D
AA
The
shooting
we
had
there
just
so
you
know
all
that's
been
solved,
everyone's
been
arrested
and
we
made
two
search
warrants
with
a
large
amount
of
weapon
C's.
As
far
as
the
park
goes,
we've
been
partnering
with
narcotics,
with
both
enforcement
and
then
covert
operations
down
there,
and
we
have
some
good
arrests.
We've
made
some
good
hay
Headway
with
people
down
there
and
we've
charged
several
people
with
felony
distribution.
AA
I
can
give
you
that
a
lot
of
times
when
you
call
these
complaints
in
they
go
to
our
narcotics
unit,
takes
a
little
while
to
work
on
those
cases.
You
don't
always
see
the
results,
but
we
have
we've
had
really
good
success
down
there
and
we
are
also
going
to
be
increasing
the
patrol
officers
down
there
to
follow
up.
C
So
maybe
it's
time
that
we
look
at
not
only
the
use
of
that
Park
but
the
the
architecture
within
it
and
how
it's
laid
out
and
if
we're
going
to
go
to
a
camera
system,
how
do
we
have
as
much
visibility
with
those
cameras
within
that
Park
to
enable
the
police
to
do
their
jobs
and
to
be
a
disincentive
for
people
to
be
doing
the
wrong
things?
In
the
park.
D
AT
AS
AS
I
also
wanted
to
bring
up
that
we're
having
a
lot
of
vehicles
dumped
on
Willow,
Spring,
Road
and
throughout
St
Helena,
and
we
also
have
vehicles
that
are
being
worked
on
with
tags
that
are
being
parked
on
Willow
Spring
they're,
either
temporary
tags
or
out-of-state
tags
and
they're
people
selling
those
Vehicles.
So
none
of
the
tags
match
the
vehicle
they're
just
for
sale.
AS
Third
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
the
corner
of
Willow
Spring
Road,
Dundalk,
Avenue,
Liberty,
Parkway
and
Pine
Avenue.
We
need
those
red
light
chains,
so
when
you're
Crossing
Willow
Spring
each
has
their
own
light.
Instead
of
trying
to
do
this,
people
hit
each
other.
It's
just,
and
you
don't
have
enough
time
and
then,
by
the
time
the
light
changes,
Pine,
Avenue
and
Liberty
don't
even
have
time
to
go
across
it.
D
So,
thank
you.
Shirley
I'll
work
backwards
on
the
lighting,
we'll
have
director,
Walker
and
Team
come
out
and
take
a
look
and
see
what's
possible
and
have
a
conversation
with
you.
If
you
haven't
connected
with
her
I
would
think
the
cars
are
probably
some
combination
of
PD
and
and
maybe
like
Pai
or
code
right.
So
we'll
have
director
go
all
you.
You
have
been
quiet
this
season
so
far,
so
Pete
gotwald
is
the
director
of
permits,
inspections
and
approvals,
which
includes
code
enforcement.
D
So
we'll
connect
you
with
cap,
Pete
d'andria
and
then
on
the
Heritage
Trail.
We
are
actively
working
with
the
Comptroller
Bill
Henry
to
get
agreements
in
place
so
that
we
can
take
our
next
step,
which
we
hope
will
be
in
March.
We'll
have
more
information
for
the
community
as
soon
as
that
work
is
finalized.
D
I
just
decided
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
you,
the
DRC
other
interested
associations
to
show
their
support
so
that
folks
know
that
on
both
sides
and
I'm
being
a
little
cryptic,
because
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
have
my
meeting
with
councilman
Crandall
about
this
issue.
Specifically,
so
it
just
it's
about
to
percolate
but
we're
it's
coming.
So,
yes,
ma'am.
AU
Gentlemen,
I'm
sorry,
my
name
is
Ed
kreiser
I'm.
Here
with
North
Point
Council.
We
represent
Edgemere,
Fort,
Howard
and
Miller's
Island,
and
our
biggest
issue,
which
has
always
been
our
issue
with
sidewalks,
and
thank
you
for
Eric
I
mean
property
Management's
going
to
Suffer
Without
Erica,
but
you
picked
up
a
really
good
one.
There
she's
been
great
sidewalks
that
our
biggest
problem
is
Lodge,
Farm,
Lodge
Forest,
which,
as
you
know,
was
Bethlehem
Steel
property
that
they
ran
on
and
when
they
sold
that
property
to
the
state
of
Maryland.
AU
We
have
these
McAdam
sidewalks
that
are
now
owned
by
the
state
and
we
just
can't
get
any
any
interest.
I
guess
from
the
state
to
be
able
to
resurface
these
McAdam
sidewalks,
which
The
Roots,
have
grown
up,
they're,
huge
tripping
hazards
and
I.
Don't
know
if
it's
agencies
not
being
able
to
talk
or
you
know
what
it
is,
but
we
we
need
some
light
shed
on
that
we
are
an
aging
Community.
Any
sidewalks
in
our
community
would
be
greatly
appreciated
because
you
know
that
Community
was
built
with
no
planning.
AU
AU
You
know
interest
in
that
it's
a
bladed
building,
it's
a
it's
on
a
bad
blind
curve.
If
we
could
get
some
kind
of
interest
from
the
county
whether
to
tear
it
down
and
start
over
and
sell
it
or
use
it
for
a
mixed
use,
we
would
really
appreciate
any
any
kind
of
interest
on
that
building.
That's
it
I
feel
bad
asking
for
anything.
After
these
two
young
men
testified
I
felt
like
giving
them
everything.
Where
do
I
start
I'll
get
my
hammer
build
them,
something.
D
Thank
you,
Ed
I,
it's
funny,
Terry
I
actually
was
going
to
mention
that
building
to
ask
your
team
to
take
a
look
at
it.
So
that's
that's
something
that
we
don't
have
to
wait
for
a
budget
to
do.
We
have
we
have
funding
in
place.
We
so
we
can,
if
I
know
where
it
is
so
I'm
happy
to
get
that
directly
to
Terry
on
the
sidewalks
director,
Walker
I
think
we
actually
had
some.
D
We
even
I
I
put
some
local
I
think
it
was
like
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
if
I'm
I've
got
like
a
steel
trap
when
it
comes
to
the
budget,
but
we
put
money
locally
to
help
support
efforts
there.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
updates
on
those
McAdam
sidewalks
along
Lodge,
Farm
and
Lodge
Forest
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
get
you
with
Mr
kreiser,
and
you
guys
you
can
talk
about.
C
AV
AW
Real
quick
here,
it's
my
true
pleasure
to
be
working
in
this
new
role
with
the
Essex
Community
and
Business
Leaders,
as
well
as
the
local
government
to
build
on
the
groundwork
laid
by
the
Eastern
Baltimore
County
task
force.
Upcoming
projects
include
the
Essex
facade,
Improvement
program
and
security,
camera
rebate,
program
for
local
businesses
in
Essex
and
the
installation
of
the
turf
field
at
Renaissance
Park.
In
my
few
short
weeks
here,
I
have
learned
of
many
challenges.
AW
AX
all
the
way
back
to
1940.
from
the
head
of
the
river
to
where
it
empties
into
the
Chesapeake
Bay
Wastewater
Plant,
no
pollution
whatsoever.
People
didn't
do
their
job
there.
If
they
needed
equipment.
People
should
have
been
liable
for
not
purchasing
equipment
to
keep
the
plant
in
operation
to
con
to
have
the
conditions
that
is
taking
place
now,
bridge
on
North
Point
Road
at
the
bread
and
cheese
Creek
must
be
put
in
the
the
engineers
have
the
drawings
and
everything
for
it.
AX
As
I
tried
a
few
years
back
whenever
they
had
a
cavitation
in
the
road
need
to
raise
the
bridge
up.
So
there's
no
more
flooding
and
no
delay
in
traffic
and
have
sidewalks
on
both
sides
of
the
bridge
so
that
pedestrians
can
walk
storm
drain
on
Willow
Road
needs
to
be.
It
goes
part
way
down
in
people's
yard.
The
engineers
already
have
the
drawings
and
everything
all
the
county
needs
is
approval,
who's
spraying
a
Back
River.
AX
AX
AX
This
continuing
plastic
bags.
If
you
had
somebody
working
at
the
place
where
they
recycle
the
the
tree
branches
and
stuff
that
they
cut
the
bags
open
and
dumped
it
out,
they
could
still
be
doing
that
and
your
approach
table
at
Timonium
have
you
ever
replaced
it
so
that
it
don't
collect
the
bags
that
it
does.
AX
AX
Plastic
bags
are
important
to
our
society.
We
need
to
advertise
and
spend
more
time
on
people
throwing
trash
out
of
their
vehicle.
If
you
want
to
make
a
law,
have
everybody
to
have
a
container
in
their
vehicle
so
that
they
can
put
their
trash
in
and
take
it
home,
not
throw
it
out
on
the
road
and
everything
yep.
D
AX
AX
D
AT
First
of
all,
regarding
the
North
Point
Government
Center
property
I
believe
that
that
contract
with
the
developer
was
engaged
fraudulently,
so
that
could
be
overturned
without
much
issue.
I
believe
the
Board
of
Public
Works
had
to
approve
of
that
before
that
contract
even
went
through
and
for
some
reason
the
contract
went
through.
So
that
needs
to
be
investigated
even
more,
but
I'm
actually
here
tonight
to
propose
an
idea
for
the
Baltimore
County
Police
Department
called
the
a
course
on
the
Constitution.
Over
the
past
three
years.
AT
During
the
covid-19
public
health
emergency,
we
had
some
of
the
most
egregious
civil
rights
violations
since
the
1940s
and
1960s.
So
I
would
like
to
be
the
course
instructor
so
that
that
never
happens
again.
The
civil
rights
of
marylanders
was
violated
by
by
Governor
Hogan,
former
Governor
Hogan,
thankfully,
and
their
civil
rights
are
also
violated
by
different
Executives
across
Maryland,
so
that
never
happens
again.
AY
Good
evening,
everyone
buenas
noches,
my
name
is
Juan
Carlos
Nunez
I'm,
currently
an
entrepreneur
here
in
the
Dundalk
area,
I'm,
not
new
to
business,
but
I'm
new
to
Dundalk.
Question
is
I.
Just
recently
purchased
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
with
council
member
Todd
Crandall
at
the
restaurant,
but
it
was
bought
during
an
auction
inherited
a
lot
of
mechanical
issues
and
found
out
that
there
was
a
lot
of
mechanics
and
that
needed
to
be
replaced
as
a
result
of
the
building
being
a
little
bit
of
old
infrastructure.
AY
AY
So
you
know
how
accessible
is
it's
one
thing
for
business
Improvement?
But
at
the
same
time
there
is
a
lot
of
operating
expenses
and
you
know
being
that
generational
wealth
was
not
an
opportunity
for
me.
You
know
artwork,
you
know
all
we're
asking
is
if,
as
a
small
business
owner
and
being
Latino,
how
accessible
is
it
for
funding
in
order
to
improve
and
establish
business
that
is
giving
back
to
the
community
and
how
is
the
state
and
Community
working
together
in
order
to
help
small
business
owners.
D
Thank
you
for
being
such
a
valued
yeah
I
was
gonna,
say,
Leonard
Howie
is
still
here,
so
we're
happy
to
connect
on
any
and
all
resources
that
are
out
there.
In
addition
to
anything
we
might
have
through
economic
Workforce,
Development
or
the
state
or
others
might
have
as
well.
We
also
have
a
property
tax
in
Baltimore
County,
that
is
for
Energy,
Efficiency
upgrades
and
so
properties
are
eligible,
commercial
and
residential.
D
C
AZ
My
name
is
Rod
McMillian
I
was
acknowledged
earlier
on
the
board
of
education
representative
for
the
council.
Medical
District
7
in
this
area,
I
want
to
follow
Mr
Crandall's
lead
and
thank
the
people
that
voted
this
past
November,
whether
you
voted
for
me
or
didn't
vote
for
me.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
went
to
the
polls
news
that
I'm
expressing
right
now
are
My
Views
I'm,
not
a
spokesman
for
the
Board
of
Education.
AZ
Currently
I
want
to
thank
Dr,
oshesky
and
Mr
Crandall
for
their
continued
support
of
the
school
system
and
me
and
my
position
in
the
last
four
years
and
three
months.
Most
specifically
I
want
to
thank
Mr
ashesky
and
his
leadership
team
for
their
efforts
in
looking
for
a
suitable
piece
of
property
within
the
sparespoint
Edgemere
Community
for
a
new
school
they're,
focusing
on
that
I
met
with
Dr
Jennifer
Lynch
the
other
day
and
I'm
real
real
pleased
with
their
efforts.
AZ
Secondly,
I
want
to
thank
I,
want
to
support
Chesapeake,
High
School
wholeheartedly
and
their
efforts
to
secure
artificial
turf,
Dr
shasky
looked
at
me
and
asked
if,
if
I
acknowledge,
if
I
was
in
support
of
that
and
I
gave
him
a
thumbs
up,
I
taught
school
for
35
years.
I
was
at
the
athletic
director
at
Chesapeake,
High
School
for
25
years
that
school
could
really
use
Turf.
Thirdly,
I
want
to
urge
Dr
ashesky
to
allow
the
Baltimore
County
government
to
continue
ownership
of
the
North
Point
government
center.
AZ
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know
the
government
center
at
one
time
was
at
North
Point
Junior,
High
School
and
the
late
sometime
in
the
70s
or
early
80s
because
of
a
declining
enrollment
Baltimore
County
public
schools,
closed
North,
Point,
Junior,
High
and
the
property
went
back
to
the
Baltimore
County
government.
Please
keep
the
property
and
do
not
sell
it.
School
overcrowding
in
the
Southeast
area
is
at
a
critical
stage.
It
is
my
opinion
that
we
need
to
keep
this
piece
of
property
to
help
deal
with
the
overcrowding.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
C
C
But
the
one
thing
that
we
agree
upon
is
that
we
are
one
Community
all
together
and
I.
Think
that
we've
seen
the
diversity
of
our
community
tonight
and
I
think
that
we've
seen
a
willingness
in
local
government
to
engage
with
our
community
by
all
the
department
heads
are
here
tonight
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we've
seen
that
in
previous
administrations,
where
a
citizen
can
get
direct
access
to
an
agency
head
to
solve
problems
and
to
to
to
discuss
issues.
