Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
On
it
so
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Nancy
Hafford
and
I'm.
The
chairwoman
of
the
Baltimore
County
planning
board
we're
here
for
the
capital
Improvement
budget
and
program.
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
committee
members
present
with
us
this
evening.
When
you
hear
your
name,
please
say:
aye,
Mr
Avery,.
B
D
C
A
Thank
you
all
tonight
we
are
meeting
in
a
work
session
to
hear
from
the
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
and
sustainability,
the
office
of
Information
Technology
and
a
department
of
planning.
After
each
presentation,
members
of
the
committee
will
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
of
the
presenter.
I
want
to
note
that
I
know
that
there
are
members
of
the
community
in
attendance
tonight's
meeting,
but
this
meeting
is
not
designed
to
accept
comments
from
citizens.
A
The
planning
board
held
a
citizen
input
meeting
on
October
20th
2022,
which,
with
the
opportunity
for
the
board
to
hear
comments
from
the
citizens
on
their
issues
concerning
the
capital
Improvement
program
now,
I
would
like
to
invite
Mr
David
Likens
of
the
Department
of
Environmental,
Protection
and
sustainability.
To
begin
his
presentation.
E
E
E
E
Thank
you.
So
this
is
an
organizational
chart.
Didn't
come
out
as
big
as
I
was
hoping
it
was.
We
have
about
80
employees
in
the
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
and
sustainability,
again
I
Am,
David,
Likens
I'm.
The
director
I've
worked
for
the
county
for
37
years,
and
it's
been
my
pleasure
to
serve.
I
came
the
year
that
our
department
was
formed
in
1987.,
so
I'm
starting
my
37th
year.
We
have
an
Administration.
E
We
have
the
lower
three
groups:
stormwater
management,
environmental
impact
review
section
and
our
groundwater
management,
all
our
review
projects,
development
type
projects
and
they
have
a
lot
of
State
mandated
regulations,
critical
area,
Law,
Forest
conservation
regulations,
the
stormwater
regulations.
E
Our
Capital
program
is
basically
the
last
three
sections
on
the
bottom:
our
Watershed
Restoration
Group,
our
watershed
management
monitoring
group
and
our
forest
Management
Group,
all
of
which
do
Capital,
probably
25,
to
30
million
dollars
in
capital
projects
each
year
for
the
county.
E
E
This
is
what
we
usually
spend
our
money
on.
These
are
the
drivers
for
our
Capital
program.
The
county
has
an
ms4
mpds
permit,
which
is
a
permit
to
discharge
storm
water
into
the
streams
in
the
state
of
Maryland
given
to
us
by
the
EPA
and
mde.
It's
a
five-year
permit,
our
current
permit.
We
got
last
November
and
it
runs
or
November
21
and
it
runs
through
26..
E
It
requires
us
to
restore
or
address
the
pollutants
that
would
run
off
of
3
000
acres
of
land
of
hard
surface,
so
the
pollutants
that
run
off
we
have
to
in
different
ways
address.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
to
reduce
pollutants
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
tmdls
or
total
maximum
daily
loads
and
their
individual
pollutants.
E
So
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
we
have
to
reduce
nitrogen
phosphorus
and
sediment.
We
also
have
local
tmdls
and
some
of
the
local
tmdls.
We
also
have
in
26
different
waterways.
We
have
to
reduce
pollutants
for
these
tmdls.
Some
of
them
are
addressing
nitrogen
phosphorus
and
sediment
pollution,
but
some
of
them
are
things
like
bacteria.
We
have
a
trash
tmdl
in
the
Gwen's
Falls.
We
also
have
some
Legacy
pollutants
that
we
have
to
try
to
fix
that
are
still
in
the
waterways
like
pcbs
or
chloridane
or
Mercury,
that
comes
from
air
pollution.
E
So
we
have
a
variety
of
things
that
we're
trying
to
address
with
our
Capital
program.
Next
slide,
please,
the
new
ms4
permit
the
most
recent
one
that
we
have
has
some
new
things
in
it,
things
like
floating
floating
wetlands
and
how
how
to
use
floating
Wetlands
to
address
some
of
those
pollutants.
We
actually
have
on
our
capital
budget
this
year,
a
proposal
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
experimental
floating
wetlands
in
some
of
our
storm
under
management
ponds
throughout
the
county.
E
There's
all
kinds
of
things
that
are
dress
far
as
conservation
just
to
show
you
a
list
of
the
different
types
of
things
that
are
new
to
our
permit.
Next
next
slide,
it's
not
just
a
depths
permit
or
my
Department's
permit.
It's
a
permit
that
addresses
pollutants
from
all
of
the
county
and
there's
other
agencies
that
are
involved.
E
This
shows
you
that
something
Public
Works
is
addressing.
Salt
is
a
real
problem,
putting
salt
on
the
roads
that
watches
into
the
reservoirs
and
pollutes
the
reservoirs.
The
state
and
the
EPA
are
very
concerned
about
that.
So
they
want
us
to
address
the
issue,
so
our
DPW
would
be
getting
new
equipment.
They
need
new
tracking
devices
to
see
how
much
is
being
put
in
each
coming
off
of
each
truck.
They
want
us
to
have
a
salt
Academy
to
train
not
only
County
Drivers,
but
also
private
people
that
are
driving
snow
plows.
E
Our
DPW
is
way
ahead
of
this
and
has
already
bought
a
lot
of
new
equipment
and
is
tracking
a
lot
of
the
things
that
their
individual
employees
are
doing.
But
this
is
just
to
show
you
it's
the
whole
County.
It's
not
just
us.
It's
DPW,
it's
Pai,
it's
Property
Management!
It's
the
schools,
lots
of
different
people
of
wrecking
Parks.
All
these
agencies
give
us
data
that
we
then
report
on
the
our
pollutant
reductions.
Next
slide,
please.
E
So
this
is
the
some
of
this
may
be
old
news
to
some
of
you
and
some
of
the
newer
people
might
not
know
this.
But
these
are
the
four,
the
four
categories
where
we
spend
that
25
to
30
million
dollars
every
year,
doing
stream
restoration
projects
throughout
the
county,
doing
Shoreline
stabilization
things
we
have
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
we
have
200
over
200
miles
of
Shoreline
in
Baltimore
County.
E
So
a
lot
of
it
is
eroding
and
we
we
do
vegetative
stabilization,
we
do
put
in
rocks
or
hard
hardscaping,
sometimes
to
stop
erosion.
E
We
also
go
to
store
under
management
facilities
that
are
throughout
the
county,
older
ones,
don't
imagine
it's
been
around
since
the
1980s
and
in
the
beginning
it
was
a
pipe
in
one
side
and
a
pipe
out
the
other
side,
but
that
doesn't
really
treat
the
pollutants
very
much.
So
there's
newer
ways
we
take
older,
stormwater
ponds
built
in
the
80s
and
90s,
and
we
update
them
with
newer
ways
to
reduce
those
pollutants
and
put
best
management
practices
in
them,
and
we
get
much
more
credit
for
doing
that
and,
of
course,
reforestation.
We'll
talk
about
that.
E
A
lot
lots
of
different
programs,
planting
trees
is
addresses
so
many
different
issues
from
reducing
to
pollutants
to
providing
shade
to
increasing
property
values.
So
actually
we
have
some
Madam
chair,
a
woman
helped
us
this
year
in
some
of
our
projects,
we'll
talk
about.
She
wasn't
around
for
the
project
or
for
the
grand
opening,
but
I
thought
about
photoshopping
your
face
into
some
of
the
pictures.
E
E
We,
these
projects
take
three
or
four
or
five
years
to
plan,
and
we
have
to
accumulate
the
money
over
three
or
four
years.
Many
times
we
have
to
have
the
money
in
place
before
we
can
put
it
out
the
bid.
So
it's
a
very
good
example
for
a
capital
budget
of
multi-year
projects.
It's
not
just
they
give
us
this
money
and
we
spend
it.
E
E
Stream,
restoration
in
this
capital
budget
we're
requesting
13.5
million
for
well
for
the
24
for
nine
new
projects.
Some
of
those
are
funding
for
design,
and
some
of
those
are
funding
for
the
actual
Construction
of
these
projects,
and
the
map
on
the
right
shows.
You
places
all
over
Baltimore
County,
where
we've
actually
already
done
projects
for
stream
restoration.
Some
of
them
are
small,
but
some
of
them
are
thousands
of
feet.
Long
next
slide,
please
in
our
Capital
Improvement
project
again
the
shoreline
stuff
you
can
see
there
on.
This
is
I,
believe
Chesterwood
Park.
E
You
can
see
on
the
left.
It
was
an
eroded
Beach
with
old,
pilings
and
When.
The
tide
goes
up.
It
just
washes
soil
and
sediment
out
into
the
bay
on
the
right
side.
We
did
this
last
year
and
executive
was
actually
out
helping
us
plant
grass
in
this,
but
it's
a
beautiful
Shoreline
job.
We
planted
more
trees
on
the
right
side,
but
those
are
big
grasses
that,
as
the
tide
goes
up
and
down,
there
are
different
zones
with
different
grasses.
E
It's
an
excellent
way
to
reduce
nitrogen
running
off
the
land
out
into
the
water
next
slide.
Please
so
here's
areas
on
our
200
miles
of
Shoreline,
where
we've
we've
gone
and
we've
done
Shoreline
jobs
and
they
last
and
some
some
of
these
are
10
years
old,
but
we
do
this
throughout
Baltimore
County
next
slide.
Please.
E
So,
as
I
mentioned,
stormwater
management
ponds,
we
have
about
5
000,
maybe
4
500,
storner
management,
pods
in
Baltimore,
County
half
are
owned
by
the
county.
Half
are
privately
owned
of
the
ones
that
we
own.
This
is
an
example
of
taking
an
older
onware
with
just
piping
piping
out
the
other
side,
and
we
put
different
techniques
in
the
pond,
so
the
water
would
have
to
be
retained
at
different
levels.
E
We
planted
vegetation
in
the
pond
so
that
the
pollutants
can
sit
there
and
the
vegetation
will
take
up
some
of
the
pollutants
and
we
hope
we
can
infiltrate
a
lot
of
the
water
into
the
ground.
This
one
is
over
off
of
Gwen
Falls.
Oh
there
it
is
I'm,
sorry,
one
year
after
conversion,
so
we
do
a
lot
of
these.
We
spent
about
I
think
we
spent
maybe
60
million
dollars
so
far
on
this
total
next
slide.
Please.
E
This
shares
the
storm,
how
many
storm
management
facilities
that
we've
worked
on
throughout
the
county
and
all
the
different
places
that
we
go
next
year,
we're
looking
for
our
budget's
about
4.6
million
to
go
in
for
18
projects,
for
water
quality
projects
and
for
best
management
practices,
repairs.
We
also
go
in
and
do
that.
E
We
try
to
get
to
every
Pond
to
inspect
it
every
three
years
and
when
we
do
an
inspection,
the
state
requires
us
to
inspect
them
every
three
years,
both
public
and
private,
and
during
that
inspection
process
we
try
to
flag,
which
ones
we
can
go
in
and
upgrade
so
we're
out
there.
Looking
all
the
time
next
slide,
please
trees.
E
We
plant
tens
of
thousands
of
trees.
We
have
lots
of
different
programs
again
the
county
executive.
This
is
a
priority
for
him.
We
now
have
three
sections
in
our
forestry
group.
We
have
a
rural
reforestation
where
we
might
plant
one
or
five
or
ten
acres
or
20
acres.
At
a
clip.
E
We
have
an
urban
reforestation
section,
which
we
gave
three
of
our
new
employees
to
that
to
go
and
plant
Street
trees,
the
county
cuts
down
lots
of
Street
trees
every
year
and
we're
going
to
go
in
and
replace
them,
but
we
have
several
other
programs
under
the
urban
reefar
station
and
this
year
the
county
executive
said.
Look.
E
The
street
tree
program
is
great.
We
get
a
lot
of
compliments
on
it.
People
love
to
see
that
it's
instant
results
in
your
neighborhood.
So
could
we,
over
and
above
everything
else
that
you're
doing?
Could
you
plant
us
another
thousand
Street
trees
this
year,
and
we
said
yes,
so
those
are
different
programs
we'll
talk
about
in
a
second
next
slide.
E
First,
operation
Retreat:
we
came
up
with
this
several
years
ago,
the
cat
at
this
County
Executive
suggestion.
We
did
an
analysis
of
tree
canopy
coverage
versus
income
level.
It
census
blocks
throughout
the
county
everywhere
in
the
county,
and
we
picked
the
32
with
the
proportion,
the
lowest
proportion
of
income
and
the
lowest
proportion
of
tree
canopy
coverage,
and
we
called
it
operation
Retreat.
E
So
we
of
those
32
communities
we're
going
to
go
to
each
one
of
them
and
we're
going
to
plant
more
Street
trees,
we're
going
to
help
the
people
that
can
at
least
afford
to
help
themselves
we're
going
in
and
providing
free
trees.
We
have
a
whole
group
that
did
the
analysis
with
all
different
departments.
E
Actually,
director
Lafferty
in
the
planning
department
started
this
when
he
was
the
Chief
sustainability
officer
and
when
he
moved
over
to
planning,
we
took
it
over
and
promoted
it,
and
so
we
have
32
different
communities
that
we're
going
in
and
we're
planting
we're
paying
probably
doing
three
or
four
of
these
each
spring
and
three
or
four
of
these
each
fall
we're
spending
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Originally,
when
we
did
this
program,
we
were
using
Capital
money.
We
were
spending
our
own
money.
E
E
So
this
is
the
operation
Retreat
program.
This
is
the
first
public
planting
that
we
did.
You
can
see
the
county
executive
there
in
front
and
again
our
logo
and
we're
going
around
and
we've
done
about
half
of
these
projects,
and
we
have
enough
money
from
these
private
places
where
we've
gotten
to
go
through
the
end
of
24.
E
So
after
24,
we
may
come
back
and
revisit
whether
or
not
we
need
some
more
Capital
funds
next
slide,
please
so
This
Is,
Us
planting,
Urban
trees,
we've
been
running
around
the
urban
group
planting
trees
for
a
long
time
we
used
to
when
we
also
cut
down
a
lot
of
urban
trees.
So
you
know
if
they're
tearing
up
the
sidewalk
Public
Works
had
an
arborist
named
Saul
pass,
who
was
going
around
and
actually
taking
out
trees
for
Baltimore
County?
E
Well,
when
we
came
up
with
the
money
from
the
county
executive,
we
hired
Saul
pass
and
stolen
from
public
works,
and
he
now
runs
our
Urban
Tree
effort
and,
as
I
said,
the
county
executive
gave
us
it
costs
about
625
dollars
for
each
tree.
For
us
to
plant.
County
Executive
gave
us
625
000
for
another
thousand
trees.
E
E
It's
a
little
different
in
Towson,
because
there's
a
you
know:
it's
businesses,
it's
not
people's
front
yards,
and
so
chairwoman
Hafford
was
instrumental
in
helping
us
with
the
business
community
and
going
around
and
finding
places
where
we
could
plant
and
forming
the
business
community,
and
this
was
our
first
effort.
E
Unfortunately,
she
was
out
of
town,
but
you
know
we
should
I
asked
them
to
try
to
photoshop
it
in,
and
they
said
it
would
might
be
illegal,
so
I
didn't
do
it,
but
this
was
our
first
planting
of
the
thousands
features
account
executive
like
this
program
so
much.
He
asked
us
to
put
it
out
in
every
capital
budget
to
plant
another
thousand
Street
trees.
So
it's
not
just
a
one
year.
It
was
supposed
to
be
a
one
year
off
thing,
but
now
we're
going
to
try
to
do
this
extra
extra
every
year.
E
Next
slide.
Please
so
again,
there's
the
guiding
documents,
the
ms4
permit,
the
phase
two
Waterway
Improvement
program
that
the
state
puts
together
our
phase
three
I'm,
sorry
and
the
tmdl
local
implementation
plans,
and
then
swaps
or
small
Watershed
action
plans
that
we
work
with
the
community
to
see
what
upgrades
they
would
like
to
see
and
we
plan
with
them.
We've
written
all
of
our
small
Watershed
action
plans
for
the
whole
County.
Some
of
them
are
10
years
old.
E
Now,
so
we're
going
to
go
back
and
re-engage
the
communities
to
see
what
improvements
we
could
make
and
we're
going
to
we've
gotten
a
consultant
to
to
look
at
each
one
of
these
and
go
back
and
revise
them
next
slide,
please.
E
So
this
is
the
meat
and
potatoes
I
guess
of
where
we
are
tonight
showing
needs
over
the
next
five
years
and
showing
you
that
we
spend
when
we
total
up
all
of
the
different
types
of
projects
we
do
25
to
30
million
dollars
each
year.
It
changes
we're
putting
money
in
for
those
out
years
already
and
putting
money
in
and
deciding
which
projects
we're
hoping
to
do,
and
then
we
always
have
carry
over
money
from
previous
years.
E
But
this
is
our
basic
plan
right
now
for
the
next
five
years
and
projects
that
we've
identified
in
those
four
areas
that
we
talked
about
just
to
show
you
what
we're
up
against
next
slide.
E
This
is
a
matrix
we
put
together
to
show
you.
The
planning
office
wanted
us
to
show
how
our
efforts
were
promoting
resiliency
and
sustainability
across
the
top.
Are
those
different
types
of
projects
we
just
talked
about
and
how
each
one
of
those
in
some
way,
everything
that
we
do
is
really
promoting
resiliency
and
sustainability,
but
just
to
show
you
that
the
Nexus
between
what
we
do
and
and
how
it's
reducing
nuisance,
flooding
or
riverine
flooding
sea
level
rise
is
a
tough
one,
different
kinds
of
new
and
severe
weather
that
we're
seeing
you.
B
E
So
this
is
the
last
two
slides
I
have
here
for
you,
but
these
are
the
other
types
of
projects
we
do.
We
don't
just
do
the
standard
stuff.
Every
year,
last
year
we
used
Chesapeake
Bay,
critical
area
fee
and
Lou
money
this
year,
we're
doing
the
same
project,
but
we're
using
Capital
funds,
and
that's
why
it's
in
here,
but
what
we
found
that
was
there's
derelict
fishing
crab
crab
traps
and
other
fishing
gear
in
the
bottom
of
the
the
waters.
E
Just
off
of
Baltimore
County
are
great
problems
for
fish,
they're
problems
for
crabs
or
problems
for
fish
derelict
means
it's
been
lost
by
the
fishermen
or
the
watermen
right.
So
there's
no
more.
It's
just
sitting
on
the
bottom
of
the
Bay
collecting
the
crabs
go
in,
but
they
can't
get
back
out,
and
so
they
die
the
fish
go
in.
They
can't
get
back
out
so
they
die
so
that
derelict
gear
is
down
there.
We
hired
offices
that
we
use
we
partnered
with
the
oyster
recovery
project
for
our
partnership
and
we
hired
off-season
Waterman.
E
The
higher
Baltimore
County
off-season
Waterman
to
go
out
and
that's
side
scanning
sonar
that
you
see
there,
the
green
to
identify
individual
pieces
of
equipment
that
are
left
on
the
bottom,
and
so
these
watermen
go
out
and
they
use
Hooks
and
lines
and
they
collect
the
the
crabs,
the
old
crab
traps
in
the
old
fishing
gear
and
bring
it
up.
So
it's
a
win
for
everybody.
In
this
case
we
were
using
fee
and
Lou
money.
We
were
hiring
off
season
watermen
and
we're
cleaning
up
the
bay.
E
It
was
such
a
great
project
and
it
was
so
loved
by
everybody
that
was
involved
again.
The
county
executive
said
put
it
in
a
capital
budget.
We're
going
to
do
this
for
as
long
as
we
can
next
slide
so
yeah.
This
is
the
type
of
boat
that
they
were
using
and
they
would
go
out
and
on
the
right
side,
there
is
a
dumpster
showing
that
the
crab
traps
that
they
brought
up.
E
We
invited
news
crews
out
to
see
this
while
they
were
out
there
doing
it,
and
they
were
just
supposed
to
come
in
the
morning
and
take
pictures
and
do
interviews
most
of
the
news.
Crews
stayed
the
entire
day
got
on.
The
boats
went
out
with
them
did
stories
on
the
five
and
six
o'clock
news
and
they
were
still
there
in
the
dark
reporting
at
the
end
of
the
evening
because
they
thought
it
was
such
a
great
story.
E
So
we
identified
many
many
I
think
we
got
85
or
87
percent
of
the
pieces
of
equipment
that
we
identified
last
year,
but
we're
going
back
in
this
year
with
capital
funds
and
we're
gonna
do
the
same
thing.
So
we
do
other
stuff
besides
just
the
usuals,
with
your
Capital
money
or
with
our
capital.
E
I.
Think.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
More
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
liken
so
much
for
the
wonderful
presentation
and
I
think
my
chairman
of
the
planning
board
subcommittee
is
on
Scott.
Are
you
here.
G
C
E
E
Our
usual
method
is
not
to
find
them
or
we
cite
them
in
order
to
get
the
pollution
corrupted.
So
if
we
find
a
company,
for
instance,
that
would
be
discharging
something
or
a
gas
station
that's
leaking
or
something
of
that
nature.
Our
goal
is
to
get
it
fixed,
we're
not
interested
in
collecting
money
and
fines,
we're
interested
in
getting
it
repaired
and
fixing
the
environmental
damage
that
they
may
have
done.
E
In
answer
to
your
first
question
about
source
of
funds
we
have,
we
do
apply
to
the
state
and
the
EPA
to
the
Chesapeake,
Bay
trust
to
the
DNR
trust
for
Grants
every
year.
There's
a
large
competition
for
that
grant
money.
We
usually
get
about
somewhere
between
two
and
five
thousand
dollars
in
grant
money
every
year.
E
C
E
We're
more
than
happy
to
take
him
to
court.
Last
year
the
County
Attorney
asked
for
extra
attorneys
and
he
has
one
specifically
assigned
to
us:
Lisa
Smith,
who's,
doing
a
great
job.
We
try.
We
try
our
best
to
work
with
people,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
they
don't
comply,
we
are
not
adverse
at
taking
anyone
to
court.
D
D
Also
the
stream
restoration
I
know
that
one
of
your
initial
projects
was
on
McDonough
between
Liberty
and
brenbrook,
and
that's
now,
probably
10
years,
older,
better
and
it
it
is
really
beautiful
to
see
how
that
project
has
matured
over
the
years.
Now
are
all
the
couple
of
questions
are
all
the
stream
Restorations
and
Shoreline
Restorations
on
County
property
and
are
all
your
plantings
native
species
that
are
appropriate
for
their
sites.
So
you
know,
there's
trees
that
don't
grow
well
in
full
sun.
D
E
We
try
to
only
use
native
I
say
that,
but
then
in
certain
circumstances,
there's
always
one
or
two
that
aren't
for
specific
reasons,
but
90
95
I
will
say
of
our
plantings
are
all
Native.
D
E
Not
we
have,
we
have
used,
we've
had
a
program
for
since
probably
2010
of
doing
all
these
different
things:
the
shoreline
jobs,
the
Waterway,
Improvement
stuff,
even
planting
trees.
We've
done
most
of
the
county
projects
that
we
can.
We
have
to
do
private
on
a
stream
restoration
job.
E
We
go
up
and
down
the
stream
and
we
get
permission
from
all
the
landowners
that
aren't
County
owned.
We
try
to
stay
within
a
county
reservation
or
account
or
or
a
easement.
If
we
have
one
but
many
times,
we
don't,
but
we
do
go
to
the
property
owners
and
get
their
permission
to
do
these
things.
As
far
as
planting
trees
goes,
we
plant
trees
everywhere,
we'll
go
plant
on
anybody's
property,
find
jobs.
Most
of
the
shoreline
jobs
have
been
on
County
Properties,
we're
working
on
a
couple
that
are
on
private.
E
We
have
one
right
now:
A
Bauer,
Farm
job
that
was
built,
houses
that
were
built
down
in
the
critic,
well
they're,
all
in
the
critical
area,
but
down
on
the
east
side
and
we're
working
with
the
property
owner
to
go
ahead
and
put
it
in
do
the
job
for
them,
because
anything
that
happens,
whether
I
do
it
on
public
lands
or
private
lands.
We
get
credits
for
towards
our
ms4
permit.
E
My
offer
is
I
will
fix
it
for
free,
for
you,
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
design
it
build
it
fix
the
environment,
make
it
much
better
for
free
their
offer,
usually
they're
they're
in
it
to
make
money.
So
sometimes
they
say
you
know
what
we'll
give
you
a
new
driveway,
we'll
we'll
build
you,
a
new
barn,
we'll
give
you
200
000,
so
I'm
in
competition
with
these
private
groups,.
D
D
One
more
question:
are
there
any
plans
to
do
stream
restoration
on
Ben's
run,
which
has
its
headquarters
at
LifeBridge
Health
in
Randallstown
on
Old
Court
Road?
It
begins
the
headwaters
begin
with
concrete
base
from
for
several
hundred
feet
and
it
I
know
I've
been
there.
It's
extremely
eroded
and
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
impervious
surface
to
contribute
to
that
to
that
runoff
into
that
stream.
I.
D
G
H
So
Madam
chairwoman
and
members
of
the
committee
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
discuss
the
office
of
information.
Technologies
Capital
Improvement
program.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
office
of
information
technology
for
their
hard
work
and
putting
this
together,
I'm
also
realizing.
Now
that
our
presentation
is
severely
lacking
in
the
number
of
trees
and
views
of
streams.
So
can
rest
assured
that
next
year,
that
mistake
will
not
be
made
again.
H
H
So
you
know
one
of
the
unique
things
about
Baltimore
county
is
that
it
is
a
fully
centralized
technology
model,
meaning
that
our
organization
supports
and
empowers
all
of
the
agencies
and
offices
across
the
county,
and
so
the
way
that
we
make
sure
that
we
are
working
closely
with
our
stakeholders
is
one
always
evolving
and
two
to
stay
as
close
to
the
work
as
we
possibly
can.
So
we
have
things
called
crms.
H
Customer
relationship
managers
that
we
essentially
embed
close
to
the
agencies
and
then
there's
a
whole
process
for
them
to
work
and
set
out
essentially
pipelines
for
that
agency
and
the
portfolio
of
work,
those
go
through
internal
discussions
and
then
ultimately
get
prioritized,
though
before
County
leadership
and
then
find
their
way
here.
These
are
certainly.
H
This
is
an
iterative
and
ongoing
process.
I
think
the
other
theme
that
I
would
like
to
stress
here
for
us
this
year
is
really
on
building
up
found,
a
foundation
of
strength
and
so
you're
going
to
hear
me
come
back
to
that
a
few
times
in
this
presentation
we're
going
to
go
through
a
couple
of
our
previously
funded
projects.
H
Cyber
security
is
kind
of
always
the
topmost
on
folks
Minds.
Here
again,
you
know
our
I
will
talk
about
what
we've
spent
some
of
the
money
on
a
little
bit,
but
for
us
just
conceptually,
this
is
really
ongoing,
as
it
is
for
anyone
else.
So
cyber
security
is
one
of
those
things
that
unfortunately
Is
Never
Done.
H
Nor
is
it
something
that
you
ever
want
to
brag
about.
So
you
know
we,
while
we
feel
confident
in
our
cyber
posture
that
is
really
a
function
not
of
exactly
how
ready
we
are
today,
but
how
much
we
pay
attention
to
this
and
put
this
in
the
front
of
our
minds
and
everything
that
we
do
we're
also
working
closely
closely
with
our
state
Partners
as
well
as
others.
H
So
some
of
the
funds
from
this
year
were
spent
on
some
State
mandated
external
assessments,
but
you
know
truthfully:
we
welcome
those
things
because
they
just
make
us
better
again.
This
is
unique
in
that,
because
we
have
a
Consolidated
environment.
We
have
health
information,
we
have
criminal
justice
information
and
so
that
allows
us.
The
positive
way
to
think
about
is
that
empowers
us
to
really
protect
everything
to
a
very,
very
high
standard.
H
Moving
on
to
our
Erp
system,
our
workday
implementation.
That's
a
project!
That's
been
going
on
for
a
while
now
and
is
at
the
moment
we're
working
towards
phase
two,
which
is
really
focused
on
time
and
attendance,
and
the
payroll
piece
we're
pushing
for
towards
a
parallel
payroll
run
in
the
first
quarter.
So
you'll
see
some
additional
funding
going
into
this
here
again,
it's
platforms
to
build
on
platforms
from
strength.
So
what
you're
running
into
with
this
project?
H
As
with
others,
is
you
know
a
lot
of
Legacy
processes
that
either
happened
on
paper
or
happen
in
third-party
systems,
and
so
bringing
them
over
is
more
complicated
than
just
a
simple
flicking
a
switch
or
migration,
but
sometimes
it
can
really
be
rethinking
it
again
at
a
specific
agency
level,
making
some
trade-offs
for
how
things
work.
So
we're
really
grateful
for
not
just
the
oit
project
team,
but
really
the
Enterprise
team
that
has
come
together
to
help
support
this.
H
Laura,
the
land
use,
regulatory
automation
permits
and
inspections,
so
this
is
essentially
City
works
at
its
core,
with
some
ancillary
Technologies
around
it,
we've
had
the
first
rollout
which,
for
Asset
Management,
went
pretty
well
run
into
candidly.
Some
challenges
on
the
licensing
side
and
we're
re-engaging
those
stakeholders
and
I
think
we
have
a
plan
for
some
good
progress
there
again.
H
The
way
that
I
think
about
this
project
is
just
with
the
theme
of
building
in
infrastructure
upon
which
you
can
grow,
and
so
the
things
that
this
will
enable
is,
instead
of
folks,
you
know
walking
around
now
or
previously,
to
physically
drop
off
checks.
These
become
online
and
Integrated
Systems,
and
so
having
these
capabilities.
Having
the
workday
capabilities,
all
of
a
sudden,
you
actually
can
get
an
integrated
Enterprise,
which
is
a
really
exciting
future
for
the
county.
H
The
Broadband
fiber
program
is
one
that
we're
certainly
incredibly
proud
of
here,
the
the
beacon
beacon
program,
and
so
it's
a
revenue
generating
program
and
that
we're
an
internet
service
provider
for
others.
We've
got
310
connected
sites
that
also
has
been
working
here
with
our
state
Partners,
as
well
as
private
sector
Partners.
H
On
updating
our
franchise
agreements,
which
are
required
for
cable
operators,
but
also
in
securing
grants
to
address
digital
disconnection
and
digital
isolation
of
the
county,
so
really
working
hard
to
partner,
where
we
can
to
close
the
digital
divide,
I'm,
getting
some
a
little
more
details
from
getting
some
of
the
yeah,
the
actual
numbers.
The
last
one
is
our
public
health
record
system.
H
Here
again
is
a
really
really
exciting
opportunity.
We
actually
just
had
our
pre-bid
conference
today
and
I
was
a
little
bit
jumping
off
the
walls,
because
I'm
a
special
kind
of
nerd,
but
what's
really
exciting
about
this,
isn't
just
the
opportunity
to
modernize
Health
infrastructure,
which
in
and
of
itself
is
great,
but
it's
going
to
make
the
county
so
much
more
resilient
for
future
pandemics
and
future
response.
H
You're
going
to
have
much
more
integrated,
for
example,
vaccine
management,
case
management
systems
and
we're
also
using
this
again
as
an
opportunity
to
not
just
put
a
system
in
place,
but
to
think
about
it
from
a
platform
perspective
so
reaching
out
to
our
state
Partners.
To
talk
about
what
is
integrated
case
management.
Look
like
how
can
we
really
understand
how
residents
and
citizens
that
we
serve
go
in
and
out
of
our
clinics
and
our
systems
throughout
the
course
of
their
blood.
H
So
for
the
next
few,
slides
I
think
just
kind
of
picture,
beautiful,
Vistas
and
trees
popping
out
everywhere,
but
you
know
so.
This
looks
a
little
bit
at
the
actual
numbers
against
some
of
these
projects
that
we've
talked
about
so
again.
Cyber
security,
the
bulk
of
those
Investments
for
us,
really
have
been
laying
some
groundwork
so
working
with
again
on
some
of
those
State
audits,
as
well
as
getting
some
external
service
providers
to
help
make
sure
that
we
are
set
up
to
be
as
resilient
as
possible.
H
H
These
are
some
more
of
the
previously
funded
projects.
These
are
in
various
states
of
completion
or
getting
going
so
you
know
we
are
with
the
Civic
Rec
program.
We're
really
excited
we're
in
the
middle
of
contract
negotiations,
but
that's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
Park
and
Recs
to
have
a
seamless
portal
for
registration
for
participants
across
the
entire
County.
So
it's
a
great
partnership.
H
H
We've
got
my
senior
center
for
case
management
for
the
senior
center,
so
you
know,
as
you
can
see,
I
think
the
way
that
oit
works
is
we've
got
a
pretty
broad
scope,
but
what's
exciting
about
these
are
the
impacts
we're
able
to
have
at
the
actual
agency
level
moving
on
to
a
few
others
again.
These
are
ones
that
are
we've
been
working
through
and
some
of
the
trickier
rewards
so
we're
at
the
final
stage
of
award
for
the
National
Fire
incident,
Reporting
System
the
jail
management
system.
H
We
took
the
same
approach
that
we
took
with
the
health
record,
which
is
to
engage
a
partner
to
help
us
drive
a
scope
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
writing
the
scope,
it's
not
just
copying
and
pasting,
essentially
what
we
have
in
place,
but
thinking
through
how
we
can
mature
our
processes
as
part
of
this
as
well.
H
The
police,
helicopter
video
downlink
I'm
realizing,
would
have
been
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
have
like
a
video
clip
of
some
helicopters
flying
around
so
again,
we'll
work
on
our
presentation
skills,
but
that
is
purchased,
and
you
know
in
the
midst
of
the
ongoing
engineering
work,
for
that,
as
is
the
digital
record
conversion
and
that's
another
one.
That
I
think
is
going
to
be
an
exciting
area
of
growth
in
the
future,
because,
as
we
really
think
not
just
about
now
again,
we
have
these
platforms
where
we
can
digitize
workflows
going
forward.
H
But
what
do
we
do
with
all
this
paper
and
these
Legacy
records
that
we
have
and
and
how
do
we
actually
extend
our
capabilities
to
make
those
online
and
accessible
both
to
employees,
as
well
as
to
citizens.
H
I've
talked
about
a
few
of
these
things,
but
this
kind
of
sums
up
our
24
portfolio
requests
in
the
next
two
slides.
So
the
big
you
know
our
workday
implementation
of
phase
two,
our
continued
investment
in
cyber
security,
our
Broadband
fiber,
build
out.
We
can,
you
know
we
have
lists
of
specific
sites.
H
What
we
do
is
we
have
a
team
that
works
with
our
partners,
including
the
school
system
and
Public
Safety,
as
well
as
Community
input
to
understand
what
are
the
sites
that
we
can
prioritize
every
year
to
bring
on
our
egov
is
really
focused
around
you
know:
open
data
and
transparency
initiatives
and
a
variety
of
those.
The
public
health
record
system.
I
probably
have
talked
enough
about
with
you,
and
then
we've
got
some
Public
Safety
records
projects
on
you
know
the
others
that
we've
talked
about
a
little
bit.
H
I
want
to
keep
going
over
them
for
you.
The
last
piece
gets
to
our
summary:
we've
got.
You
know
our
content
Management
Systems
in
our
some
of
our
website,
transitions
that
we
have
to
do
exciting
to
put
in
some
grants,
management
software
at
the
Enterprise,
which
I
actually
think
is
going
to
be
another
opportunity
for
tracking
and
transparency,
which
we're
very
excited
about,
and
then
some
Library
specific
stuff,
which
is
going
to
empower
our
citizens
in
really
unique
ways.
H
So
we
partnered
with
the
library
on
things
like
digital
Equity,
so
stuff
that
seems
like
comprise
replacement
implementation,
which
seems
like
a
very
boring
bullet
point,
actually
is
making
the
public
computers
that
Library
users
use
more
secure
and
more
flexible
and
more
accessible.
So
you
know,
through
these
kind
of
again
infrastructure,
Investments
we're,
hopefully
opening
it
up
for
our
citizens
to
have
a
much
better
experience
and
and
and
much
more
holistically,
as
well
as
the
multilingual
kiosks.
H
And
with
that
conclude,
my
presentation
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
this
and
welcome
any
questions.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
freed
again
I
see
at
least
one
hand
so
Mr
Airy
thank.
C
C
Right,
so
thank
you
for
your
presentation,
wonderful
presentation
from
you
in
your
office
to
coordinate
with
any
state
stakeholders
such
as
m
dot,
Network
Maryland
in
areas
of
fiber,
optics
and
network
connectivity
and.
H
Sure
so
I
would
I'll
start
with
like
the
general
answer,
and
then
we
get
specific.
The
general
answer
is
we
coordinate
very
closely
with
our
state
Partners
again
the
level
of
participation
I
think
a
little
bit
depends
on
what
area
we're
talking
about
so
again
like
Health
and
Human
Services.
H
You
know
some
of
our
Human
Services
work
or
is
actually
funded
directly
by
the
state,
and
so
we
have
like
state
employees
sitting
here
on
our
Network
and
so
there's
a
very
tight
collaboration
there
and
again
we're
really
excited
about
working
more
with
the
new
state
Administration
to
even
expand
that
relationship
around
data
sharing
and
those
things
I
think
similar
with
the
school
system.
We've
got
interconnections
on
the
network
side
that
our
technical
team
can
certainly
speak
to,
and
we
can
follow
up
and
get
you
some
more
details
around
that.
H
But
I
I
would
say
that
we
have
very
tight
communication
with
our
state
partners
and
on
Public
Safety
as
well.
I
mean
certainly
again
because
we're
hosting
the
public
safety
environment.
C
H
Sure
yeah
the
so
the
answer
is
a
little
bit
of
everything
is
what
I
would
say.
H
We've
got
a
there's
been
a
push
here
over
the
last
few
years
to
really
work
on
having
applications
that
are
hosted
by
vendors
where
appropriate
and
where
possible-
and
you
know
I'd
say
that,
where
appropriate
includes
not
just
checking
the
box
but
really
doing
a
rigorous
assessment
of
our
vendors
capability
to
make
sure
that
it's
sitting
in
the
right
place,
there
are
certainly
you
know
with
such
diverse
portfolio,
there's
several
applications
that
we
are
posting
ourselves
and
looking
at
what
are
the
opportunities.
H
C
Okay,
Madam,
chair
I,
have
one
last
question
on
this.
Now
you
did
mention
five
app
takes
revenue.
Is
it
do
you
have
like
Revenue
generation
for
fiber
optics
providers,
Telecom
providers
for
the
state?
In
other
words,
do
you
allow
them
to
build
firewall
and
to
compensate
the
state
or
the
county
for
use
of
the
right
of
way.
H
Sure
so
Let
Me
Maybe
answer
with
a
few
more
words
and
see
if
I
make
sure
I
answer
your
question,
sir.
H
We
both
have
franchise
agreements
with
you
know,
with
with
Comcast
and
and
the
other
isps
in
in
summon
process
through
which
they
operate
and
there's
fees
and
expectations
associated
with
those
and
then
we
are
also
essentially
a
network
service
provider.
Although
I
really
want
to
be
careful
with
that
language
and
what
it
means
you
know
we're
not
offering
direct
internet
service
to
County
residents
but
to
other
agencies
in
some
places
and
external
Partners.
H
We
are
essentially
leasing
parts
of
our
Network
or
some
of
that
physical
infrastructure,
which
is
revenue
generating.
Thank
you.
I
D
You
know
two,
two
programs
that
the
county
offers
are
citizens
access
in
my
neighborhood
citizen
access.
You
can
record
you
know,
report
code,
violation
or
code
enforcement
violations
and
building
permit
building
violations
code
enforcement's
pretty
good.
You
can
usually
find
all
the
documents
that
have
been
submitted,
but
for
the
building
violations.
D
I
know
we
have
a
situation
here
over
in
District
Four,
that's
been
going
on
for
almost
a
year
now,
where
we're
told
we
have
to
go
to
Towson.
If
we
want
to
see
any
of
the
documents,
are
there
any
plans
to
bring
building
permits
into
that
fold
so
that
you
know
people
all
over
the
county?
Don't
have
to
drive
to
Towson
to
physically
look
at
to
follow
that
that
paper
trail
it's
it's
clunky
to
use,
it
looks
outdated.
D
H
Well,
I'm
a
little
torn
because
as
a
nerd
I'd
like
everybody
to
get
phds
in
computer
technology,
but
I'm,
sorry,
no
I,
I
think
I
love
this
feedback,
so
much
and
I
think
it
goes
to
a
couple
things.
So
let
me
let
me
let
me
answer
your
question
specifically
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
I'm
excited
about
you
know
answering
your
questions
specifically.
Yes,
that
absolutely
is
our
intent
is
that
these
will
become
online
and
accessible
in
that
way.
H
We
are
that
is
the
project
in
process
now
so
again,
with
the
lyric
system,
we're
looking
at
bringing
those
workflows
in
and
we're
spending
a
little
extra
time
now,
making
sure
that
it
is
a
user-friendly
and
modern
experience,
so
that
I
would
ask
you
to
hold
us
to
that,
because
that
is
certainly
our
expectation
of
how
this
project
will
go
in
terms
of
the
training
piece
around.
H
My
neighborhood
I
think
the
the
short
answer
is
yes,
that's
something
we
can
do
I
think
also,
honestly,
philosophically,
that's
something
we
should
really
be
embracing
is
having
more
Community
focused
sessions
around
what
tools
are
available,
as
we
make
more
tools
online
and
more
things
available.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
with
our
partners
at
the
libraries
and
other
places
cases
to
help
folks
and
Empower
folks
I
mean
these
tools
are
only
as
good
as
they
work
for
you
as
a
resident.
D
I
Baltimore
city
has
a
you
know,
basically
shut
down
every
system
they
had
and
you
know
then
the
government
almost
shut
down
down
there
for
a
while.
So
what
are
we
doing
to
prevent
that
from
happening,
and
is
that
part
of
you
know
any
of
the
plans
you
have.
H
Yes,
sir,
so
I
was
actually
I
was
with
the
city
in
responsible
for
Health
Human
Services
technology
during
the
incident
so
have
some
first-hand
experience
there
again.
It's
it
is
a
layered
and
complex
issue
is
the
short
answer.
H
I
think
a
bit
longer
answer
is
that
we
are
investing
heavily
in
our
cyber
security
posture,
both
on
the
prevention
side,
as
well
as
the
recovery
side,
and
so
specifically,
when
you
look
at
these
types
of
incidents,
it
is
really
really
important
that
we
invest
in
both,
and
so
you
know,
on
the
one
hand,
we
have
to
be
forever
diligent
because
there
are
constant
streams
of
folks
trying
to
get
into
our
Network
and
get
access
to
the
various
data
and
systems
that
we
have
on
the
other
side
of
it.
H
You
know
we
have
to
know
that
we
will.
You
know
there
will
be
incidents
of
varying
degrees
and
hopefully
not
catastrophic,
but
there
will
be
those
challenges,
and
so
we
opt
to
equally
invest
in
not
just
the
Cyber
preparedness,
but
also
the
operational
preparedness.
So
that's
everything
from
working
with
our
emergency
preparedness.
H
Colleagues
to
say
how
can
we
keep
operations
going
when
portions
of
the
infrastructure
go
offline
for
a
while,
that's
a
function
of
resiliency,
and
then
we
also
need
to
be
able
to
say
how
can
we
make
sure
that
we
get
our
systems
back
up
and
running
so
just
Disaster
Recovery?
Do
we
have
good
enough
backups?
Are
we
testing
them?
Are
we
doing
our
diligence
on
that
side?
So
you
know
it's.
H
We
can
go
into
a
lot
of
the
kind
of
details
of
the
places
that
we're
investing,
but
philosophically
it's
in
those
three
general
areas.
The
first
is
really
being
making
sure
we
are
as
secure
as
possible
and
then
making
sure
we're
as
resilient
as
possible
and
working
with
our
partners
to
make
sure
that,
just
because
there
are
incidents
or
parts
of
the
network
go
down
that
we
can
continue
operations.
G
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
once
again,
I
I
go
everyone
else's
comments.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
It's
fascinating
to
hear
what
you
guys
are
having
to
to
to
work
up
against,
and
it's
interesting
to
see
how
the
counties
on
web
presence
is
expanding.
So
look
forward
to
seeing
what's
what's
been
done
by
next
year,.
G
K
K
I'm
looking
forward
to
presenting
to
you
this
evening
on
our
Capital
funds
in
the
land
preservation
program
and
our
needs
moving
forward
towards
our
land
preservation
goals,.
K
For
land
preservation,
we
are
working
towards
our
current
master
plan
goal
of
protecting
at
least
80
000
Acres.
We
work
towards
this
goal
through
a
number
of
programs-
some
very
importantly,
funded
through
the
county
Capital
program,
I
underline
at
least
here,
because
this
is
our
base
level
goal
that
was
determined
in
the
1990s,
with
the
input
from
the
University
of
Maryland
extension
based
on
an
evaluation
of
the
critical
land,
critical
mass
and
land
needed
in
order
to
protect
and
support
the
agricultural
industry,
and
it
was
included
as
such
and
our
current
master
plan.
K
According
to
state
law
for
AG
preservation,
priority
areas
counties
should
be
ultimately
be
working
towards
protecting
at
least
80
percent
of
the
undeveloped
lands
in
our
priority
preservation
area.
So
that
puts
us
Beyond
80
000.
So
it's
important
to
us
here,
for
since
we
are
a
certified
County
and
as
such,
are
able
to
retain
a
higher
percentage
of
AG
transfer
attacks
as
we
work
towards
these
goals.
Oh
exciting
news.
K
K
We
we
actually
worked
with
the
office
of
communications
and
putting
together
a
video
highlighting
that
that
achievement,
and
we
were
hoping
to
share
it
with
you,
but
we
weren't
sure
if
the
audio
would
work
but
I
think
the
video
link
will
appear
in
your
chat,
and
you
can
take
a
look
at
that
later.
If
you
haven't
seen
it
yet.
K
Last
year
was
a
banner
year
for
us,
we
were
able
to
protect
16
125
Acres
through
21
easements,
which
was
a
10-year
high
in
the
number
of
Acres
as
well
as
projects.
So
it
really
highlights
that
the
increase
in
funding
for
our
land
preservation
program
has
increased
the
pace
of
preservation,
which
is
critical,
as
we
are
always
racing
against
the
rate
of
conversion
of
our
farmlands,
and
we
currently
have
19
farms
in
our
pipeline
to
protect
an
additional
1200
Acres
through
the
programs
we
administer.

about

So
a
very
important

in
the

and
a

Trust,
primarily
donated

make
up

also

both

K
Our

program
makes
up
just
under

then
our

make
up
a
little

and
I
like
to
point
out
that
my
presentation
is
full
of
beautiful

but
the
the
photos
you
see
here
are
representing
fine
from
some
of
the
programs
that
make

worked
with

Our

that

We
our
goal,
is
that

We
have
a

of
fantastic

that
we
are
working
with.
This
chart
highlights
some
of
the
different
programs
and
progress
we've
made
this
year.
Spending
categories
include
the
amount,
the
county,
sorry,
the
state
AG
program
mouth,
the
our
County

preservation
program
and
County
Rural
Legacy
program,
all
of
which
receive
Capital
funds
of
the
1625
Acres
that
we
protected.
K
And
this,
if
I
just
had
one
slide
in
the
presentation,
this
pretty
much
sums
up
the
the
work
that
we
are
doing.
This
is
showing
highlighting
some
of
the
projects
from
last
year
and
all
of
the
different
programs.
The
top
left
slide,
is
Carmel
View,
Farm,
135,
Acre
Farm
protected
through
the
county
of
rural
Legacy
program
in
the
Piney
Run
area.
This
built
on
a
an
over
20
000,
acre
block
of
protected
lands
in
that
area.
K
The
top
middle
slide
shows
a
photo
of
the
property
that
came
in
in
our
County
ag
program,
and
while
this
doesn't
look
like
your
typical
AG
crop,
land
forestry
is
also
considered
counted
as
agriculture
as
well,
and
so
that
is
is
that
property.
The
top
right
photo,
is
a
our
largest
farm
that
came
in
last
year
at
221,
Acre,
Farm
and
the
long
green
area,
and
then
all
three
photos
on
the
bottom
are
also
in
the
mouth
program.
K
The
Center
photo
on
the
bottom
was
an
interesting
one,
because
the
there
had
been
a
stream
restoration
project
on
this
farm,
and
so,
while
the
East,
the
malfeasancement
covers
the
entire
51
Acres
of
the
property.
K
As
one
we
only
had
to
pay
for
a
portion
of
the
property,
because
the
area
that
was
previously
restored
along
the
stream
was
already
counted
as
protected,
but
this
the
easement
made
it
more
cohesive
and
shows
how
the
different
programs
can
really
work
together
with
any
given
property.
So
again,
this
just
highlights
the
variety
of
farms,
the
size,
the
type
and
the
area
of
properties
that
we've
worked
with
this
past
year.
F
Hey
Megan,
real
quick,
yes,
can
you
make
your
screen
full
full
screen?
If
you
go
into
view,
you
can
click
full
screen
mode,
sorry
view
on
the
top
left
hand,
corner
yeah
and
then
just
full
screen
mode.
K
Sure
so,
moving
on
to
our
needs
moving
forward,
our
mouth
program
is
always
a
priority
and
contributing
funds
towards
this,
because
the
state
will
match
the
county
funds
and
a
60
40
ratio
up
to
2
million
dollars
of
their
matching
funds.
We
are
putting
additional
funds,
did
I
lose
my
is
that
not
sharing
anymore.
K
So
we
have
two
million
in
this
category
inborn
mouth,
which
is
beyond
what
they
will
match,
but
putting
more
funds
in
this
category.
The
easements
that
are
created
are
State
easements,
and
so
that
comes
with
efficiencies
both
on
the
processing
side,
as
well
as
the
long-term
legal
stewardship
obligations
of
those.
So
we
think
that's
a
good
investment
towards
those
properties,
our
County
ag
program.
K
Through
this
program
we
have
nine
projects
and
454
acres
in
the
pipeline,
and
we
want
to
continue
our
momentum
and
keep
this
program
an
active
option
for
landowners
for
our
County
Rural
Legacy.
The
easements
we've
been
very
successful
in
working
with
our
local
World
Legacy
sponsors
to
get
projects
moving
in
this
program.
We
have
three
projects
on
over
200
acres
in
the
pipeline
for
this
program
and.
B
K
We
want
to
continue
our
momentum
here
and
keep
this
program
active
as
well,
and
just
pointing
out
that
dollars
spent
in
our
rural
Legacy
area
also
helped
to
draw
additional
State
dollars
to
the
county
through
the
state
rural
Legacy
program
as
well,
and
then
we
also
want
to
continue
supporting
the
Baltimore
County
Land
Trust
Alliance,
which
is
an
umbrella
group
created
by
the
county
and
the
land,
trust
to
bring
efficiencies
and
coordinate
their
activities.
Their
work
very
much
in
support
of
our
goals,
both
through
Outreach
and
with
their
work
with
Stateside
rural
Legacy
grants.
K
We
find
that
this
relatively
small
investment
days
back
in
the
services
provided
and
the
additional
State
dollars
that
are
drawn
because
of
their
work.
K
As
far
as
our
work
and
how
it
contributes
to
resiliency
and
sustainability,.
K
We
contribute
towards
these
things
in
multiple
ways.
Our
AG
programs
include
requirements
for
soil
conservation
and
water
quality
plans
to
help
ensure
that
farming
practices
protect
soil
and
water
quality
and
boost
sustainability,
sorry
boost
sustainability
and
resiliency,
and
then
a
rural
Legacy
easement
as
well.
We're
having
part
have
required
enhancements
of
strain
buffers
and
look
to
protect
our
forest
canopies
as
well.
So
these
are
multiple
other
ways
that
our
easements
help
maintain
improve,
improve
resource
functions.
K
This
just
a
quick
Graphics
again,
multiple
sustainability
functions
that
land
preservation
helps
to
provide
focusing
infrastructure
inside
the
hurdle
in
order
to
preserve
our
priority
areas
outside
maintaining
land
for
local
food
production,
protecting
large
blocks
of
forests
for
carbon
storage
and
protection
of
our
Waters
from
Recreation.
K
And
we
were
asked
to
provide
an
equity
review
for
the
funds,
we're
using
the
programs
that
these
projects
are
administered
administered
through
focus
on
agriculture
and
rural
land
preservation,
which
are
focused
in
areas
primarily
outside
of
those
identified
with
vulnerable
populations.
However,
the
benefits
of
land
preservation
impact
all
members
of
the
community,
including
underserved
and
vulnerable
populations,
through
the
benefits
of
clean
air
and
water,
and
maintaining
viable
agricultural
lands
for
local
food
and
all
the
other,
very
important
public
benefits
which
land
preservation
provides.
G
J
G
Okay,
Mr
Heckman
I,
see
you're
a
hand
raised.
L
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
have
a
question
about
I.
Think
we've
talked
about
this
before
the
land.
The
rate
of
land
preservation
per
year
seems
to
be
around
a
thousand
of
maybe
1500
Acres
I
think
last
year,
and
at
that
rate
it's
still
going
to
take
us
nine
ten
years
to
get
to
our
goal.
L
So
is.
If
we
wanted
to
speed
that
up,
is
it
a
function
of
allocating
more
to
the
budget
or
is
the
rate
just
the
rate,
because
you
know
we're
having
a
hard
time
finding
dance,
Partners
so
to
speak.
K
So
the
so
last
year
you
know
we
did
increase
the
rate
based
you
know
from
previous
years.
K
It
is
a
function
being
successful
in
our
goals
is
a
function
both
of
funding
and
willing
partners,
and
we
always
want
to
have
quality
Acres,
so
I
think
the
pace
that
we
are
working
at
now
is
sustainable
and
is
allowing
us
to
bring
in
quality
Acres
towards
our
goals.
So
I
think
the
pace
we
are
going
is
is
good.
K
I
think
the
budget
that
we
have
outlined
is
balanced
towards
towards
those
things
that
I'm
saying
quality
Acres
bringing
in
those
that
are
interested
that
meet
our
requirements
and
going
at
a
rate
that
makes
sense
for
bringing
in
quality
Acres.
L
Yeah,
that
makes
sense,
but
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
increase
the
budget
so
that
we
could
allocate
more
per
acre.
Would
that
make
it
more
attractive
for
people
to
you
know,
put
their
land
in
the
preservation.
K
So
we
are
so
depending
on
the
program
is
how
how
determine
the
value
of
the
easement-
and
there
has
to
be
some
basis
in
the
market,
for
what
the
value
is.
So,
for
example,
in
the
mouth
program,
they
will
pay
no
more
than
75
of
the
fair
market
value,
and
so
we
are
paying
Fair
easement
prices
for
the
easements
that
we
are
bringing
in
and
I
will
also
say.
Outreach
is
a
big
part
of
our
program
and
we
do
not
have
a
long
list
of
properties
waiting.
K
So
we
want
to
keep
Pace
with
bringing
you
know
doing
the
Outreach
to
bring
in
those
quality
Acres,
so
I,
don't
think
it's
we
want
to.
The
budget
we
have
laid
out
is,
in
my
might
take
a
sensible
approach
to
Bringing
In
Those
Acres
I
hope
that.
M
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation,
Miss
Benjamin,
just
a
quick
question.
You
had
mentioned
earlier
that
we're
a
certified
County
for
a
land
preservation
and
there
are
certain
benefits
to
that.
What
specifically
are
those
benefits,
and
you.
B
M
K
So
state
certification,
the
big
benefit
of
that,
along
with
the
just
verification
that
our
goals
are
working
towards
the
preservation
of
important
lands
to
protect
the
AG
economy.
The
the
big
carrot
to
that
is
that
when
you
are
a
certified
County,
the
AG
transfer
taxes
that
the
county
collects.
K
We
are
able
to
retain
75
of
the
AG
transfer
tax
for
use
in
our
programs
versus
counties
that
are
not
certified,
only
retain
33.
So
it's
retaining
those
funds
to
be
able
to
put
towards
our
land
preservation,
programs
and
goals.
That's
the
huge
benefit
of
being
certified
retaining
those
locally
and
then,
as
far
as
Outreach
goes.
K
Your
question
is:
how
do
we
do
Outreach
or
yes,
that's
right
yeah?
So
we
multiple
ways,
so
we
advertise
our
application
deadlines,
various
ways
and
newspapers
that
hit
some
of
the
rural
areas.
We
have
five
land
trusts
that
are
work
throughout
different
areas
of
the
county
and
I
mentioned
the
Baltimore
County
Land
Trust
Alliance.
K
So
we
work
with
the
Land
Trust
individually,
as
well
as
the
land
trust
Alliance,
who
hosts
typically
annually,
will
host
like
a
meeting
for
Orlando
and
invite
landowners
to
come
to
attend,
to
learn
not
only
about
our
programs,
but
all
of
the
other
programs
that
are
available
to
landowners
we
do
targeted
mailings
to
people
oftentimes
I
mentioned
are
signs
that
are
we're
getting
out
oftentimes.
K
A
lot
of
that
Outreach
is
done,
landowner,
landowners,
so
maintaining
good
relationships
with
the
landowners
that
we
have
and
working
with
them
to
talk
to
others
they
might
know,
and
then
we
have
our
agricultural
land
preservation,
Advisory
Board.
We
work
with
them
to
connect
with
landowners
as
well.
I
I
actually
have
several
questions
and
and
may
not
be
able
to
answer
these
all
on
the
phone.
You
may
need
to
get
the
information
and
I
understand
that,
but
do
you
know
the
percentage
of
these
agriculturally
preserved
lands
that
are
actually
farmed
and
then
farmed
by
actual
Farmers
on
that
land
and
they're,
not
just
rented
out
to
big
National
Farms
or
Regional
Farmers?
That
would
be
the
first
question.
I
The
second
question
I
would
have
is
around
how
we're
going
to
obtain
or
meet
our
obligations
around
affordable
housing.
If
we
are,
if
two-thirds
of
the
land
in
our
county
is,
is
outside
the
hurdle
and
we're
continuing
to
preserve
all
this
land.
The
agreement
we
have
with
the
federal
government
is
that
a
thousand
homes
would
be
built
in
the
North
County
area.
I
So
I
don't
know
that
you
can
answer
that.
But
what's
the
plan
around
around
that
and
the
last
one
was
that
Mr
lippenholtz,
who
was
very
active
on
the
planning
board,
had
came
to
the
planning
board
before
his
retirement
and
presented
a
plan
around
agrotourism
and
I.
Just
wonder
where
we're
at
with
utilizing
out
of
your
tourism,
so
the
community
can
actually
enjoy
or
be
part
of
this
land
that
we're
paying
to
have
preserved.
K
So,
for
your
first
question
about
the
percentage
of
the
properties
that
are
actually
farmed
and
who
Farms
them,
I
don't
have
that
information
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
will
say:
that's
not
something
we
typically
track
in
a
formal
way
on
our
easement
properties,
the
purpose
of
the
easement,
it's
not
requiring
people
to
farm
the
property,
but
it
is
guaranteeing
that
that
land
is
available
to
be
farmed
either
now
or
in
the
future.
K
A
lot
of
some
data
that
you
might
be
interested
in
seeing
there
would
come
out
in
our
AG
in
the
AG
census,
which
is
in
the
in
process
now
so
we'll
have
fresh
data
on
what's
happening
in
the
county
as
far
as
AG
is
concerned
in
the
next
year,
or
so
when
they
get
that
data
out.
K
As
far
as
meeting
our
obligations
for
affordable
housing,
that
is
beyond
something
I'd
be
able
to
answer
right
now
and
then
the
value-added
agricultural
report
that
you
mentioned,
that
that
is
something
that
we're
still
looking
at.
Of
course,
there's
there's
definitely
egg
tourism
happening
out
on
the
landscape.
Now
there
are
things
that
are
that
were
recommended
in
that
report.
That
are
being
taken
up
and
still
need
to
be
taken
up
in
that
regard.
K
So
it's
it's
still
a
very
live
and
active
report
that
we
do
look
to
and
we'll
be
looking
to
to
work
further
on
as
well.
I
Thank
you
if
somebody
else
could
answer
the
second
question,
or
that
would
be
helpful
and
I
expected
an
answer
today,
but
I
mean
if
somebody
can
report
back
on
that.
G
Thank
you.
Does
anybody
else.
D
Yes,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
applaud
that
land
preservations
group
for
protecting
three
Essentials
for
all
of
our
Lives,
whether
we're
inside
or
outside
the
ertle,
and
that
is
Food,
Water
and
Air.
Thank
you
for
that.
It's
wonderful
to
see
the
inclusion
of
forest
in
that
effort
and
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
mindset
now
that
conservation
is
progress,
so
this
program
goes
a
long
way
towards
that
and
it's
something
I
I
personally
for
my
district,
we
wholeheartedly
support.
B
C
Can
you
hear
me,
can
you
hear
me
now
go
ahead?
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
take
this
minute
to
thank
the
entire
department
of
planning
and
Steve
and
your
team
for
a
great
job,
very
tough
on
that
tough
difficulties,
you
guys
always
sell
and
Taylor
and
the
rest
of
the
team.
We
really
appreciate
what
you
guys
do
to
keep
us
afloat
and
to
keep
the
county
going.
Thank
you.
N
N
Nothing,
that's
all
right.
Go
ahead,
go
ahead,
all
right
locally,
grown
food
and
fiber,
and
protection
of
environment
they're
always
going
to
be
a
net
asset
for
the
public.
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
add
that
in.
G
Thank
you
any
other
final
comments,
thoughts.
If
not,
we
will
turn
it
over
to
director
Lafferty.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
I
also
do
want
to
Echo
some
of
the
comments
about
Megan
and
her
team's
work.
J
We're
very
proud
to
have
them
as
an
active
and
integral
part
of
the
Department
of
planning,
and,
as
you
can
see,
they
work
very
hard
to
try
and
build
up
that
sort
of
book
of
business.
As
you
will.
It
is
a
challenge
to
get
people
to
engage
and
I
really
appreciate.
J
Mr
heckman's
questions
about
sort
of
how
do
we
sort
of
Step
Up
that,
but
believe
me,
they're,
working
very
hard
and
I
remember
I
have
three
contracts
will
be
going
to
the
County
Council
in
February
based
upon
the
work
they
did,
adding
two
more
easements
and
actually
infeed
property.
J
So
one
of
them
is
on
the
coastal
area
over
on
the
east
side,
which
is
been
a
tougher
area
to
sort
of
get
into
so
my
presentation
tonight
is
a
little
different,
a
little
different
Focus,
and
this
is
much
more
on
the
built
environment.
J
J
You
know
we
have
a
have
a
mission.
That's
really
built
around
a
number
of
different
policies
and
programs,
and
it's
really
to
direct
and
manage
the
growth
and
just
of
the
County,
as
well
as
to
support
both
communities
and
the
economic.
B
J
To
make
sure
that
we
have
healthy,
vibrant
areas
in
which
the
live,
work
and
play,
and
do
that
in
an
equitable
way.
That
also
is
sustainable
and
we
look
towards
the
master
plan.
The
County's
Enterprise
strategic
plan
of
sustainable
Community
plans-
and
we
have
nine
of
those
underway
currently
underway-
are
revisions
to
the
Essex
and
Catonsville
plans,
for
instance,
and
three
more
will
be
undertaken
because
the
state
requires
those
updates
every
five
years
as
well
as
well
as
the
commercial
revitalization
districts,
and
we
really
are
capital
budgets
broken
into
two
pieces.
J
One
is
the
Dundalk
Center
Place
Road
Extension.
This
was
initiated
actually
as
a
Heritage
Trail
and,
as
has
changed
over
time.
J
These
funds
will
allow
a
connection
from
the
from
historic
Dundalk
to
the
city
and
really
try
to
provide
an
opening
for
people
to
have
greater
access
and
encourage
not
only
a
pedestrian
but
bicycle
activity
in
this
part
of
downtown
quote
downtown
Dundalk,
which
the
subcommittee
chair
knows
well
and
then
there's
also
our
county-wide
improvements,
which
look
at
a
whole
range
of
challenges
and
issues
that
confront
the
neighborhoods
and
business
districts
and
quarters
throughout
the
county.
B
J
The
Dundalk
Center
Place
roadway
extension
and
then
our
county-wide
improvements
based
upon
the
voters,
approval
of
the
capital
budget,
referenda
and
the
last
election.
We
will
have
four
million
dollars
available
to
us
in
fy24
and
each
of
the
hopefully
subsequently
in
the
other
years,
as
well
as
director
Likens
indicated.
N
J
We
also
have
funds
currently
existing
that
have
not
yet
been
spent
or
have
not
been
fully
programmed,
and
those
are
some
of
the
dollars
that
we
rely
upon
to
move
projects
forward.
J
We
have
a
number
of
items
that
have
also
been
added
to
our
budget.
That.
B
J
Are
Minister
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
Amy
menser
as
our
basically
as
our
lead
project
manager
on
many
of
these
projects?
It's
not
only
to
provide
support
for
other
entities
that
exist
in
the
county,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
couple
that
we
are
also
supporting
as
part
of
our
regional
commitment
to
helping
the
city
with
the
BMA
and
the
Hippodrome
for
instance.
J
So
let
me
start
with
maybe
the
largest,
which
is
the
Security
Square
Mall
project
between
the
county
and
the
state.
We
have
committed
20
million
dollars
to
date
for
the
total
reimagining
of
Security
Square
Mall.
J
This
is
a
90
acre
parcel
just
immediately
south
of
Security,
Boulevard
and
west
of
the
Beltway
that
has
multiple
owners
and
over
the
last
couple
of
decades,
has
really
deteriorated
equality
and
in
its
presence
as
an
asset
of
the
community,
the
county
executive
made
a
commitment
and
worked
with
speaker,
Adrian
Jones,
to
obtain
funds
to
invest
in
this
property.
J
We
were
able
to
acquire
the
former
Sears
building
in
its
18
Acres,
as
well
as
then
to
invest
in
a
charette
process
that
was
full
engagement
of
the
community,
as
well
as
using
the
expertise
of
two
design
firms
here
in
the
city,
aristent
growth
and
JMT,
to
develop
a
a
set
of
plans
for
what
the
future
may
be
and
determine
what
is
a
detriment
into
an
asset.
The
top
picture
is
just
a
quick
image
of
the
Shrek
process
itself.
J
The
bottom
image
on
the
right
gives
some
concept,
or
at
least
one
of
the
concepts
of
what
may
be
able
to
be
redone
on
the
site
in
order
to
capture
a
true
mixed-use,
maybe
Town
Center,
or
at
least
at
least
a
way
to
reimagining
the
way
the
entire
facility
can
be
used
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the
left.
The
vast
parking
around
the
Sears
building
creates
a
lot
of
opportunities
that
we're
pursuing
in
Essex.
J
This
will
include
a
focus
on
Eastern
Boulevard
and
down
Back
River
Neck
Road
and
include
how
we
can
refurbish
not
only
the
main
street
of
Eastern
Boulevard,
but
also
are
there
acquisition,
opportunities
or
ways
of
building
the
facade
Improvement
program
or
strengthening
the
housing.
We're
very
pleased
to
be
part
of
this.
It's
a
very
it's
a
full
court
press,
if
you
will,
by
the
county
executive,
to
really
try
to
tackle
the
underlying
of
violence
and
crime
issues
that
have
challenged
this
Essex
area.
J
In
Parkville,
we
have
invested
in
the
Baltimore
Association
of
Nepalese
in
America's
building,
which
has
become
a
community
Gathering
Place
For
The
Nepalese
Community,
which
is
a
growing
population
in
the
county,
not
just
in
Parkville
but
but
around.
The
Parkville
Community
is
represented
by
delegate
Terry
bandari,
for
instance,
the
first
Nepalese
American
elected
in
the
local
legislature
in
this
in
the
country
in
East
Towson,
the
pride
of
Towson
Lodge
is
an
older
building
that
has
become
really
A,
Gathering
Place
for
the
community.
J
What's
not
shown
in
this
image
is
they
have
a
an
area
in
the
back
of
the
property
where
they
held
their
Juneteenth
celebration?
They
call
the
jazz
concert,
it's
a
place
where
the
community
comes
together,
and
so
the
county
executive
committed
money
to
the
community
for
improvements.
The
neighborhood
association
chose
to
focus
its
attention
on
this
building.
In
order
to
enhance
it,
you
can
see
they've
already
installed
some
new
windows
they've
done
some
painting.
J
They
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
but
again
they're,
making
some
serious
progress
to
really
make
this
even
a
better
place
for
the
community
to
gather
in
Pikesville.
We've
already
invested
money
to
install
new
benches
and
are
now
working
with
a
committee
of
residents
and
business
owners
to
find
additional
ways
to
direct
resources
that
the
county
has
already
committed
to
supporting
the
downtown
of
Pikesville.
One.
B
J
The
challenges
here
just
like
in
Essex
is
the
fact
that
we're
on
a
state
highway
and
whenever
we're
working
on
a
state
highway.
Quite
candidly,
it's
it's
very,
very
challenging
to
get
the
State
Highway
Administration
to
be
a
partner
or
almost
adversarial
at
times.
So
it
does
slow
down
our
progress,
but
doesn't
stop
our
intent.
Nor
does
it
stop
the
community's
engagement
and
finding
ways
to
make
communities
like
Pike,
school
and
Essex
even
stronger
than
what
they
are.
J
Of
the
elements
in
Pikesville
is
a
Pikesville
Armory.
This
is
sort
of
a
and
unique
scenario,
because
this
property
is
still
owned
by
the
military
Department
of
the
state.
They
have
agreed
to
help
transfer
it.
However,
the
county
has
made
it
clear.
We
do
not
want
to
own
the
property,
but
we
will
be
the
as
you
were,
the
conduit
to
transfer
it
to
a
New
Foundation,
that's
been
created,
a
new
non-profit
called
the
Pikesville
area,
Armory
Foundation,
and
this
is
14
acres
of
land
in
the
heart
of
Pikesville.
J
In
the
bottom
left,
you'll
see
a
memorial
to
those
who
National
Guards
men
who
have
fallen
in
battle
in
World
War
II.
It
is
a
it's
historic.
This
building
was
built
before
World
War
One.
It
housed
the
calvary
units
for
World,
War
One
they've
gone
through
a
number
of
community
processes
to
engage
the
community,
as
you
see
in
the
middle
of
the
top
to
get
ideas,
and
we
are
working
very
hard
with
the
foundation
to
have
this
property
transferred
from
the
state
to
the.
J
So
they
can
begin.
The
total
refurbishment
in
the
upper
left
is
the
Armory
building
itself,
which
is
a
million
square
feet
and
not
in
the
best
condition,
is
probably
an
understatement
in
the
bottom
right
corner.
J
It
does
show
the
end
the
existing
NCO
Club,
which
is
actively
used
building
by
the
non-commissioned
officers
they
we
are
talking
to
them
about
having
Recreation
and
Parks
occupied
part
of
the
building,
but
on
the
Frontage,
which
again
is
the
image
shown
here,
is
to
create
a
an
actual
Armory
Park
to
create
a
park
where
the
community
can
gather
and
hold
events
and
celebrate.
J
Hopefully
we
will
be
getting
to
the
state
and
getting
an
agreement,
so
we
can
afford
effectuate.
This
transfer
and
the
county
has
put
over
two
million
dollars
in
the
past
couple
of
years.
I
anticipate.
We
will
continue
to
support
this
matching
State
funds
on
Liberty
Road.
There
are
a
number
of
initiatives
that
have
begun
a
couple
of
years
ago.
The
planning
board
did
approve
a
set
of
design
guidelines
to
help
look
at
what
may
be
done
to
particularly
to
refocus
on
some
of
the
older
shopping
centers.
J
J
Those
are
just
a
few
of
the
projects
that
we've
undertaken.
We
have
many
more.
We
are
working
actively
to
develop
a
facade
Improvement
program
that
can
be
made
available,
which
would
build
upon
the
architect
on
call
program
that
we
already
have
in
place
and
we're
also
developing,
hopefully,
a
strategy
for
providing
more
resources
to
smaller
organizations
that
need
support.
J
B
J
That's
now
been
made
available.
I
I
will
say
that,
as
as
I
indicated
earlier,
we
function
differently.
We
don't
we
don't
do
the
projects
the
same
way
that
economic,
assuming
that
Environmental
Protection
does
or
Property
Management.
J
We
generally
are
a
grant
providing
organization
or
entity
with
capital
funds
going
out
to
nonprofits.
There
are
like
on
Liberty
Road,
where
we've
provided
trash
cans
and
rice.
Excuse
me
Pikesville,
where
we've
provided
some
benches
having
Hands-On
engagement,
but
it's
in
Louisville
really
in
a
different
kind
of
vein.
J
We
have
to
rely
upon
other
agencies
and
partners
to
to
deliver
these
projects
and
I
show
you
this
not
because
we
have
any
current
investment
in
Reisterstown
but
to
show,
as
we
work
with
this
Main
Street
Community
the
kind
of
projects
that
we
could
Envision
in
other
communities
as
well.
We
are
a
partner
and
provide
funding
to
Reisterstown
Improvement
Association,
so
they
can
manage
their
Main
Street
program,
but
we
we
recognize
that
with
a
little
bit
of
investment,
we
can
see
such
dramatic
changes
in
communities
throughout
the
county.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
Lafferty.
Oh,
are
there
any
questions
on
this
presentation.
G
Oh,
that
is
no
that's.
Okay,
Mr
Warren.
I
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
efforts
around
Social
Security,
it's
an
important
part
of
our
community
and
it
has
been
on
the
decline
and
it
is
important
to
everyone
here
in
our
community.
So
your
efforts
there
are
greatly
appreciated.
That's
all
I
had
to
say
about
it.
D
G
J
J
This
is
a
challenge,
the
we're
we
are
not
looking
to
move
the
Earl
line,
and
we
recognize
that
we
now
need
to
take
a
very
different
look
at
the
existing
areas
and
how
do
we
retrofit
in
communities
that
need
to
have
you
know,
I?
Think
all
of
us
have
seen
in
one
place
or
another
shopping
centers
that
no
longer
are
really
servicing
the
community?
J
As
retail
changes
in
the
economic
landscape
changes,
we
have
to
rethink
how
properties
are
being
used,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
important
in
the
future
for
the
county
to
look
into
those
areas
where
we
can
think
about.
Refurbishing
retrofitting
redevelop.
Call
it
what
you
want
and
I
think.
J
G
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands,
then
thank
you,
Miss
Benjamin.
Thank
you,
Mr
Lafferty,
for
your
presentations
tonight
and
for
the
other
County
officials
who
spoke
earlier.
G
If
there
are
no
further
questions,
I
am
going
to
move
to
adjourn
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
The
next
meeting
of
the
planning
board
committee
on
the
capital
Improvement
budget
will

30
pm.
That
meeting
will
