I'm
here
thank
you
tonight
we
are
meeting
at
a
work
session
to
hear
presentations
from
the
department
of
recreation
and
parks,
the
office
of
budget
and
finance
property
management
and
the
baltimore
county

So
I
would
now
like

Thank
you.
The
department
of
recreation
and
parks
has
allocated
capital
funding
on
an
annual
basis
through
the
parks,
preservation
and
greenways
capital
improvement
program,
also
known
as
the
cip.
The
funding
provided
in
even-numbered
fiscal
years,
such
as
the
underway
fiscal
year,
2022,
is
typically
a
larger
amount,
due
in
part
to
the
biennial
bond
referendum,
whereby
citizens
vote
on
borrowing
ordinance
ordinances
in
the
november
elections
and
even-numbered
calendar
years
approved
borrowing
ordinances
result
in
general
obligation
bond
funding
being
allocated
in
the
next
even
numbered
fiscal
year
for
use
over
two
fiscal
year
period.
D
The
record
35
million
in
bond
funding
in
the
agency's
fy22
cip,
is
nearly
nine
times
as
large
as
the
four
million
bond
referendum
amount
typical
in
recent
history,
voters
overwhelmingly
approved
the
bond
issue
in
the
november
2020
election
with
approval
rating
of
82.1
percent
being
bested
only
by
the
waterway
improvement.
Borrowing
ordinance
next
slide,
please
thank
you.
D
In
addition
to
the
35
million
in
bonds
deriving
from
the
bond
referendum,
a
strong
investment
in
county
general
funds
was
made
by
the
chefsky
administration
next
slide.
Please,
these
pie,
charts
of
capital
revenue
sources,
show
a
major
change
in
how
the
fy,
22
recreation
and
parks
capital
budget
was
funded
in
comparison
to
the
two-year
period
comprising
fiscal
years
2020
and
2021..
D
D
10
million
of
the
state
aid
is
in
the
form
of
grant
funding
from
the
state's
new
local
parks
and
playgrounds
infrastructure
program,
which
multiple
senators
and
delegates
representing
baltimore
county
residents
were
so
instrumental
in
creating
including
our
very
own
speaker
jones.
Next
slide.
Please.
D
Additional
state
aid
may
also
be
added
to
the
fy
23
capital
budget
is
secured
at
the
state
legislature
and
the
agency's
tier
funding
request
may
result
in
additional
general
funds
or
bond
premium
funding
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
This
slide
displays
the
seven
projects
to
which
revenue
is
allocated
to
fund
a
wide
range
of
capital
jobs.
As
an
example,
the
milford
mill
trail
renovation
job
presently
under
design
is
funded
out
of
project
308,
greenways
stream,
valleys
and
trails.
All
jobs
fall
into
three
general
categories:
acquisition
park,
development
enhancement,
renovation
and
special
acquisition.
D
Thank
you.
This
map
is
from
the
county's
underway
land
park,
land
preservation
park
and
recreation
plan
or
the
lpprp,
and
it
gives
a
sense
of
baltimore
county's
vast
park
network
215
parks,
totaling
more
than
8
300
acres
represent
the
heart
of
the
county's
park,
recreation
and
open
space
network
with
each
site
offering
one
or
more
type
of
recreational
facility.
D
In
addition
to,
in
addition
to
the
park's
public,
recreational
opportunities
are
provided
at
more
than
160
public
school
recreation,
centers,
whose
campuses
consist
of
nearly
3
700
acres
of
land.
Certain
facilities
at
school
recreation
centers
are
funded
or
maintained
through
the
department
of
recreation
and
parks.
Capital
budget
as
an
example,
ball
diamonds
and
most
sport
courts
at
elementary
school
recreation,
centers
are
renovated
through
the
recreation
and
parks
capital
budget
and
many
synthetic
turf
fields
at
high
school
recreation.
Centers
were
constructed
through
that
same
budget.
D
D
The
county's
network
of
recreational
infrastructure
is
vast
and
in
some
cases,
old
and
worn,
there
are
known
unmet
needs,
parks
and
recreation
needs,
whether
as
a
result
of
lack
of
parks
and
recreation
sites
in
a
particular
area,
growth
in
population
or
changes
in
recreational
preferences
and
demands
the
decision-making
process
for
allocating
available
funding
can
be
challenging
with
many
worthy
competing
needs.
Guns
to
assist
with
priority
setting
is
offered
through
an
array
of
sources
ranging
from
various
plans
to
ongoing
public
input
to
county
administration
initiatives,
council
input
and
others
such
as
sustainability
and
equity.
D
Okay,
I
think
we
skipped
a
slide.
It's
one
more
back
perfect.
Thank
you,
then.
Oh,
no
one
more
forward.
Okay,
perfect!
All
right.
The
next
series
of
slides
provides
information
on
a
selection
of
the
capital
projects
and
jobs
funded
within
each
project.

D
The
annual
ball
diamond
maintenance
and
de-lipping
program
budgeted
at
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in

Please.
D
By
far
the
largest
apportionment
of
of
available
recreation
and
parks,
fiscal
and
fiscal
year,
22
capital
funds,
over
54
million,
was
budgeted

This
project
funds,
the
vast
majority
of
larger
scale
park
and
recreation,
site,
development
and
enhancement
jobs,
as
well
as
some
major
renovation
and
replacement
jobs.
Many
such
jobs
involve
both
design
and
construction
and
may
take
multiple
years
to
complete
underway

Project
309,
greenways
stream,
valleys
and
trail
development
funds,
a
wide
variety
of
typically
large-scale
trail
and
path,
construction
and
rehabilitation
jobs,
while
the
department
of
public
works
and
transportation
has
capital
funding
that
is
dedicated
to
the
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access,
jobs
that
predominantly
improve
overall
access.
The
majority
of
jobs
funded
under
this
project
are
for
trail
and
paths
that
are
recreational
in
nature.
Bicycle
lanes,
nature
trails
and
paved
paths
were
the
top
three
most
requested.
Additional

Staff
recently
met
with
the
department
of
natural
resources
to
discuss
a
proposed
county,
funded
trail
extension
on
the
north

park
and
the
tides
inheritance
historical
site
to
the
county's
fort
howard
veterans
park.
Next

D
Please,
project
601
is
park
and
recreation
facility
acquisition,
county,
executive,
oshevsky
and
his
administration
have
encouraged
the
department
of
recreation
and
parks
to
be
more
active
in
the
pursuit
of
additional
quality
park
sites
resulting
in
the
acquisition
of
nine
properties.
Since
the
start
of
calendar
year
2020.,
all
nine
of
the
acquisitions
were
for
functional
part
purposes,
rather
than
being
solely
for
the
purpose
of
acquiring
and
preserving
additional
green
space.
D
The
purpose
of
acquisition
has
varied
somewhat
from
site
to
site
the
villa
maria
acquisition
permanently
secured
a
site
whose
baseball
diamonds,
whose
ball
diamonds,
have
long
been
utilized
by
the
local
recreation
council.
Through
a
license
agreement,
five
acquisitions
were
in
communities
with
no
or
limited
access
to
neighborhood
or
community
parks,
including
some
that
will
serve
as
areas
designated
as
having
high
social
vulnerability
needs
and
levels.
The
worthington
road
acquisitions,
while
involving
small,
smaller
properties,
secured
two
key
parcels
along
the
six
bridges
trail.
D
Recreation
and
parks
continues
to
work
with
real
with
the
real
estate
section,
to
continue
to
actively
pursue
high
quality
acquisition
opportunities.
Utilizing
not
only
maryland
program
open
space
funding,
but
the
2
million
in
county
general
funds
dedicated
to
project
601
during
the
fy
22
capital
budget
process.
Next
slide,
please.
D
This
slide
displays
six
of
the
properties
acquired
over
the
past
year.
The
department
of
recreation
and
parks
continues
to
work
with
the
office
of
law's
real
estate
section
to
continue
to
actively
pursue
high
quality
acquisition
opportunities,
utilizing
not
only
maryland
program
open
space,
but
the
2
million
in
general
funds.
The
investment
of
county
funding
allows
for
a
more
robust
parkland
acquisition
program,
making
it
more
feasible
to
acquire
key
properties
that
may
become
available
next
slide.
D
Finally,
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
recreation
and
parks,
the
thousands
of
recreation
council,
volunteers
and
countless
county
residents
and
visitors
who
visit
and
enjoy
the
county's
broad
and
diverse
recreation
and
parks
network.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support
and
that
concludes
my
presentation.
A
F
Yes,
scott
roslyn
wayne
mcguinness
here
the
site
on
schwann
road
was
originally
purchased
for
the
for
the
settlement
of
agriculture
organizations
such
as
university
of
maryland
extension
service
and
the
soil
conservation
district,
the
land,
the
20
acres
in
the
middle
was
set
outside
for
the
office
spaces
and
the
rest
of
the
farm
was
entered
into
maryland
agricultural
land
preservation
program.
F
This
program
sets
aside
this
land
for
the
use
of
agricultural
purposes.
Now
we
have
almost
75
000
acres
of
agricultural
permanently,
preserved
agricultural
land
in
baltimore,
county
plus,
additional
25
000.
That's
protecting
some
of
our
water
resources,
since
this
is
an
agricultural
area,
an
agricultural
site
and
the
original
when
it
was
originally
purchased.
You
can
then
count.
Executive
smith's
asked
the
mark
board
to
form
a
board
to
run
the
site
and
to
present
it
for
agricultural
uses.
F
Now
recently,
the
parks
and
rec
has
requested
that
remark
board
be
moved
from
their
existing
office
to
make
room
for
parks
and
rec
to
have
an
office
now,
in
fact,
that
they
have
a
number
of
sites
where
they
can
have
their
own
site.
Why
is
this
necessary
to
be
located
in
the
center
of
the
agriculture
organization.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
mcginnis,
for
your
question.
It's
good
to
see
you
again.
First
of
all
that
information
that
you
received
was
not
accurate.
Actually,
the
mark
board
asked
to
move
their
office
because
they
wanted
a
dedicated
office
that
they
could
share,
amongst
only
marked
users,
and
they
wanted
a
door
that
would
close.
So
we
we
met
their
their
request
and
so
their
office
was
moved
at
their
request.
D
We
have
many
offices
at
that
that
particular
location.
This
particular
office
was
shared
between
three
users
and
so
mark
requested
to
be
moved
to
their
own
office
so
that
they
could
have
private
conversations.
F
Well,
since
this
is
a
site
that
was
bought
and
purchased
for
agricultural
use,
and
it
is
the
land
to
be
observed
or
used
for
agriculture,
not
for
parks
and
rec,
why
do
you
have
an
office
there.
D
So
a
couple
of
things
so,
first
of
all,
recreation
and
parks
does
run
this
particular
site
and
we
have
many
offices
there.
We
have
our
chief
of
nature,
who
is
responsible
for
nature,
department-directed
programs,
all
throughout
the
entire
county.
He
is
located
at
that
particular
location,
so
we
have
additional
office
space
for
staff
there.
We
also
have
a
staff
person
who
is
responsible
for
managing
our
part-time
staff
hours
and
payments,
as
well
as
background
checks.
D
She
is
located
at
that
site
and
we
have
other
staff
who
are
responsible
for
department
directed
programming
at
that
site,
because
we
are
tasked
with
carrying
out
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
parks
and
recreation
department
we
are
currently.
We
have
currently
outgrown
our
administrative
offices
and
so
because
mark
requested
to
move
out
of
that
office
that
created
additional
office
space
that
we
could
move
recreation
and
parks,
employees
into.
F
All
right,
one
more
subject:
the
northern
part
of
baltimore
county
is
vast
between
harvard
high
school
to
norfolk,
to
pennsylvania
line,
harford
county
and
in
carroll
county,
it's
10
to
15
miles
for
these
children
after
travel.
We
are
in
desperate
need
when
the
airport
high
school
was
renovated.
F
Instead
of
spending
120
million
dollars
to
renovate
the
school
to
put
a
new
school,
they
chose
to
renovate
the
existing
school
for
under
50
million
in
that
pr.
In
that
time,
they
did
not
account
for
the
increase
when
they
went
from
a
junior
senior
high
school
to
a
high
school
that
there
is
a
tremendous
need
for
additional
activity
space
to
afford
both
recreation
and
the
school
activities,
and
there
is
a
site
next
to
the
existing
gym,
where
a
new
additional
gym
space
could
be
used.
F
Currently,
my
son
is
trying
to
find
space
to
have
a
team
practice.
They
have
to
go
to
pennsylvania
or
harford
county
or
private
schools
to
find
space
to
have
a
basketball
practice,
and
I'm
wondering
why
the
recreation
department
can't
share
with
the
public
schools
to
expand
this
site
on
the
hereford
high
school
campus.
So
it
would
be
a
beneficiary
to
both
the
recreation
people
and
to
the
school
people.
D
That's
a
good
question:
I
would
defer
to
the
school
system
for
the
answer
to
that
question,
as
it
is
school
systems
property,
so
we
don't
have
the
the
onus
to
go
onto
their
property
and
build
it.
I
will
share
that.
We
would
be
open
to
any
conversations.
D
However,
there
currently
is
not
funding
for
an
additional
gym
at
that
location,
but
we
could
begin
talks.
However,
that's
something
that
would
be
driven
by
the
school
system,
not
by
the
department
of
recreation
and
parks.
Five.
F
Four
out
of
the
five
last
years,
the
planning
board
has
recommended
that
up
to
two
million
dollars
being
expended
to
for
this
project
and
has
been
ignored
by
the
the
county
administration
so
anyway,
thank
you.
B
G
First
of
all,
I'm
it's
very
wonderful
news
about
the
increase
in
funding
for
reckon
parks
and
we've
all
sat
on
so
many
in
on
so
many
of
these
master
plan
meetings
and
it's
very
obvious
in
the
county
that
people
are
really
putting
strong
support
for
more
recreation
and
and
outdoor
opportunities.
G
G
The
foundation
of
the
bridge
is
washed
out.
You
know,
so
I
see
that
there's
a
plan.
Is
there
a
hard
plan?
Has
that
gone
out
for
bid
and
I'm
wondering
what
the
timeline
is
on
that
completion
and
in
the
meantime
I
mean,
can
they
at
least
put
benches
for
people
to
sit
on
there
on
on
this?
This
on
the
side
between
the
creek
and
and
the
parking
lot,
so
people
have
a
place
to
at
least
socialize
outside.
D
Excellent
questions
we
toured
diamond
ridge
back
when
it
first
got
cold,
so
I
want
to
say
it
was
back
in
november.
My
months
are
kind
of
running
together
now,
but
that
bridge
that
the
steps
over
that
bridge
continue
to
be
a
problem.
When
we
went
out
and
visited
that
day,
it
was
a
full-grown
tree
across
the
entire
pedestrian
bridge.
So
we
had
that
removed.
We
tested
the
steps.
Some
of
the
steps
were
in
poor
condition.
D
So
while
we
were
out
there,
my
team
and
I
discussed
how
we
could
better
enhance
that
park.
You're
absolutely
right.
There
is
an
old
bench
there
with
concrete
footing.
That
is
huge,
huge
pieces
of
wood
that
are
gone
into
the
ground.
It's
lopsided,
the
concrete
when
you
go
around
the
corner,
has
had
a
major
break,
so
what
we
have
created
is
instead
a
way
around
that
bridge
area.
D
D
But
with
the
plan
that
we
have,
we
can
go
around
where
the
bridge
currently
is
over
to
where
that
broken,
concrete
is,
and
so,
if
we
create
a
pathway
over
there
that
way,
then
we're
also
checking
to
see
if
we
could
do
an
ada,
accessible,
switchback,
we're
not
sure
if
there's
enough
space
to
do
a
switchback,
because
it
is
a
relatively
small
part,
but
the
amazing
views
are
once
you
kind
of
get
over
the
hill.
So
we
want
everyone
to
be
able
to
access
those
views.
D
Additionally,
when
you
get
over
the
hill,
those
two
fishing
pairs
appears
they're
in
really
bad
shape.
We
even
have
benches
that
are
facing
the
bushes,
thus
obstructing
the
views
of
the
lake.
So
you
know
I'm
not.
You
know
I
love
bushes,
but
I'm
not
sure
too
many
people
want
to
sit
there
and
just
look
at
the
bush,
so
we
are
working
through
that
whole
process.
We
have
discussed
being
able
to
purchase
additional
picnic
tables.
We
looked
in
our
inventory.
D
We
don't
want
to
throw
good
money
after
bed
and
install
benches
that
would
have
to
be
removed
later
on
because
of
the
design
we
have
to
work
with
apps
because
of
the
stream.
That's
there
so
there's
a
stream
buffer
and
we'll
also
have
to
we
may
have
to
plant
for
do
an
a4
station
in
that
area.
For
what
we
would
like
to
install
the
surfaces
that
we'd
like
to
install.
So
it's
not
an
easy
solution.
It's
not
a
quick
solution.
D
We
even
talked
about
doing
an
emergency
demo
of
that
bridge
because
the
when
we
went
out
today
when
we
had
a
property
management
go
out
today
they
made
the
bridge
unusable,
because
when
we
put
tape
across
it,
people
just
break
the
tape
and
go
across
so
they
had
to
put
plywood
up.
It
is
not
the
best.
The
best
looking
solution,
but
it
was
a
quick
solution
and
even
to
demo
the
bridge,
we
got
a
quote
of
seven
to
ten
thousand
dollars
just
to
demo
that
bridge.
D
So
we
are
we're
working
on
that's
an
emergency
demolition,
which
is
a
high
price,
so
it
is
included
in
our
scope
for
the
redevelopment
of
of
this
park.
So
we
are
working
on
it.
We
are
aware
of
it
and
we
will
cut
a
do
very
shortly.
Once
we
identify
a
consultant.
G
Well,
I
I
would,
I
would
project,
I
mean
I've
just
been
to
the
site
on
sunday.
I
know
that
there's,
like
total
scouring
under
that
bridge,
and
I
don't
think
seven
to
ten
thousand
dollars-
is
much
of
an
expense
for
a
demo,
considering
your
budget,
and
it
is
frankly
in
two
one.
Two
four
four
on
the
west
side
is
an
eyesore.
G
The
bridge
is
an
eyesore
and
the
steps
up
to
the
to
the
the
useless
steps
and
the
useless
bridge
are
just
an
eyesore
in
our
district.
So
I
would
suggest
that
you
know,
I
don't
think
it's
asking
too
much
to
throw
ten
thousand
dollars
at
it
to
to
remove
those
eyesores
and
and
they're
dangerous.
You
that's
acknowledged,
so
you
know
anything
that
can
do
and
it
sounds
like
we're
years
out
from
having
any
kind
of
plan
implement.
You
know
completed
for
that
project.
D
Okay,
so
I
apologize.
If
I
wasn't
clear,
we
are
definitely
demoing
the
bridge,
but
we
want
to
do
it
at
a
reasonable
rate,
so
it
won't
affect
our
future
designs
or
amenities
that
we
won't
be
able
to
add.
So
the
bridge
will
absolutely
be
demoed.
We
are
not
many
years
out
we're
getting
ready
to
go
to
design.
A
do
will
be
issued
shortly,
so
we
can
get
started
and
we
can
actually
do
the
design
work.
D
G
I
hope
so
we
have
a
bridge
on
the
same
road
that
was
designed
in
2004
and
it
hasn't
been.
Not
no
no
surface
has
been
scratched
to
build
it
yet
so
you
know
I.
I
would
hope
that
this
would
move
along
a
little
quicker.
D
It
absolutely
will
we
have
900
000
dedicated
to
this
project
and
we
anticipate
we'll
have
to
use
every
bit
of
this
900
000.
So
that's
why
you
hear
me
being
a
little
cautious,
because
I
don't
want
to
not
be
able
to
put
in
benches
later
on
because
we
spent
you
know
additional
money
on
the
front
end,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
can
afford
as
many
amenities
as
possible.
A
H
Questions
yes,
hi,
miss
johnson!
Thank
you,
I'm
from
bob
schweitzer
from
councilmanic,
seven
district,
seven,
I'm!
First
of
all,
I
I
appreciate
your
presentation.
I
think
a
very
good
job
covered.
H
You
covered
the
waterfront
entirely
literally,
but
the
the
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is,
first
of
all,
thanks
for
all
the
support
down
in
the
in
district
7,
with
with
what
we
see
and
what
is
planned,
but
in
view
of
the
budget
that
you
have,
I
want
to
go
back
to
what
mr
mcginnis
said
a
few
minutes
ago.
He's
asked
for
help
from
several.
H
I
guess
every
department
that
could
help
him
in
baltimore
county
or
the
last
couple
years
for
some
recreational
facility
support
and
it's
getting
old,
and
I
it
frankly
it's
not
that
his
not
that
his
requests
are
getting
old.
The
point
is:
is
that
they're
not
getting
taken
care
of
there's?
H
If
you
look
at
the
map
that
you
presented
earlier,
there's
nothing
in
not
very
much
in
in
council
member
district,
three
that
district,
that
that
that
the
department
of
wrecks
and
propriet
recreation
do
you
know,
and
I'm
not
saying
you
don't
do
anything
there.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
switzer,
and
thank
you
for
your
comments.
I
will
add
that
we
have
we
work
very
closely
with
the
recreation
council
in
the
hereford
zone
and
one
of
their
major
asks
was
for
additional
field
space.
They
do.
They
did
ask
for
indoor
space
too,
but
their
prior
priority
that
they
shared
with
us
was
field
space.
D
So
we
purchased
the
belfast
road
property
in
this
budget
year
and
we
also
have
6.4
million
allocated
to
the
belfast
road
property
for
fields
and
that's-
and
that
seems
like
a
high
number,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
dirt
to
move
there.
So
I
don't
want
the
hereford
zone
to
think
they're
being
ignored.
That
was
a
major
investment
of
a
lot
of
money
to
do
that
particular
project,
I'm
happy
to
say
this
week.
We
did
release
the
do
for
that
project
too.
D
So
we
we
hear
you
and
there
are
many
competing
needs
and
the
needs
outnumber
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
have
so
we're
working
our
way
through
it.
Slowly
but
surely,
and-
and
I
I
understand
that
it's
not
as
quick
as
everyone
would
like
to
see,
but
unfortunately
we
have
a
finite
amount
of
resources
that
we
have
available
to
use
at
this
time.
I
F
I
double
check
and
you
were
right
that
the
mark
board
did
request
to
move
to
a
larger
office
space
there
at
the
ag
center.
But
my
other
question
is
when
you
say
that
the
parks
and
rec
are
running
the
farm
at
the
ag
center.
What
do
you
mean
by
that,
when
it's
strictly
for
use
of
farm
activities.
D
That
means
that
the
property
is
maintained
and
administered
by
the
department
of
recreation
and
parts,
and
so
the
mark
board
has,
by
their
choice,
opted
to
go
on
hiatus
and
so
by
their
own
initiative.
They
are
not
the
council
on
record
at
this
particular
location.
So
currently
we
do
not
have
a
council
that
is
in
part
working
in
partnership
with
us
at
the
ag
center's
location.
So
you
know
that
that's
what
I
mean
by
that.
So
the
department
is
working
to
program
that
space
we
had.
D
We
grew
through
sunflowers
this
past
summer.
We
utilize
the
greenhouse
at
this
location.
We
have
farm
animals
there.
We
have
an
equestrian
program
there,
so
we
have
all
sorts
of
activities
that
we
provide
to
the
public
that
we
serve.
F
I
thank
you.
In
addition,
as
you
know,
the
agriculture
community
is
requesting
to
have
a
separate
department
of
agriculture
within
the
county
to
run
such
things.
We
have
over
200
different
organizations
that
are
connected
with
agriculture,
and
it
is.
It
is
important,
as
I
said,
because
of
the
amount
of
land
that
is
permanently
observed
for
agriculture.
It's
important
that
we,
the
county,
recognize
this
and
so
we're
trying
to
get
this
set
up
so
that
we
have
our
own
department
and
our
own
department
would
be
running
the
site.
D
I
am
absolutely
aware:
I've
been
extremely
involved
in
that
and
this
administration
is
the
first
administration
to
recognize
and
support
that,
and
so
they
they
are
in
the
process
of.
We
are
in
the
process
of
creating
an
ag
board
similar
to
that
of
harford
county,
which
has
won
many
awards,
so
not
necessarily
a
department
of
agriculture,
but
more
so
an
agricultural
board
with
many
interested
parties,
and
so
you
being
one
of
the
the
first
trailblazers
in
as
far
as
car
as
sequester
and
carbon
and
no-till
farming.
C
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
to
you
and
representation
and
different
views.
It's
a
big
county
and
what
what
what
we
are
asking
is
proportional
allocation
of
resources.
That
is
all
we
are
are
concerned
about
to
take
care
of
different
areas
all
over
the
country.
Our
goal
is
the
same
to
see
the
county
do
well.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
D
B
A
B
J
Great,
I
too
have
a
presentation,
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
this
evening.
Can
you
see
what
we
are
sharing
on
the
board?
Yes,
oh
well,
that
was
not
what
I
wanted
to
do.
Excuse
me
wait
a
minute
technology's,
wonderful
until
maybe
it
doesn't
work
as
as
well
as
I'd
like
it
to
okay,
I'm
trying
to
get
it
to
be
full
of
you.
Let
me
well,
okay,
you.
J
Thank
you,
technology's,
not
my
friends.
I
want
to
give
a
good
shout
out
good
shout
out
for
the
individual
who
actually
made
this
presentation
for
property
management,
kat
steis,
who
is
on
here
this
evening
with
us,
who
made
a
wonderful
presentation
that
you
hopefully
will
find
very
informative
and
useful.
So
thank
you
first
and
foremost
for
allowing
us
to
come
and
share
some
of
the
information
that
we
property
management
do
for
all
of
the
agencies
throughout
baltimore
county.
J
So
obviously
we
are
the
office
we're
actually
under
the
office
of
budget
and
finance,
and
we
do
work
for
the
our
director,
mr
ed
blades.
We
very
much
work
very
closely
with
every
agency
in
baltimore
county.
J
We
are
very
much
engaged
with
in
helping
them
design
and
create
we
also
partner
with
the
libraries
and
they
will
be
giving
a
separate
presentation,
but
we
are
there
where
their
partner
and
when
it
comes
to
designing
and
building,
we
have
a
great
relationship
with
them.
In
addition
to
that,
you'll
see
in
our
presentation.
Some
of
the
other
agencies
that
we
are
privileged
to
work
with
is
for
aging
the
police,
the
fire
company.
J
So
we
do
a
lot
of
we
kind
of
touch
all
of
of
all
of
the
agencies
here
in
baltimore
county
as
a
private
partner
or
a
quiet,
a
silent
partner,
as
I
like
to
call
us.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
started.
J
First,
property
management
provides
services
for
all
the
constituents
and
agencies
through
the
county.
Not
only
do
we
provide,
you
often
hear
about
our
capital
projects
and
enhancement
funds,
but
we
provide
custodial
services
to
over
250
buildings
throughout
baltimore
county.
We
do
grounds
maintenance
for
in
the
recreation
and
parks.
We
would
do
it
at
the
police
stations,
the
libraries
we
cut
grass.
We
will
help
maintain
ball
diamonds,
we
will
remove
snow.
I
know
that's
a
bad
word
coming
up
this
weekend,
so
we
do
all
of
the
grounds
maintenance
here
in
the
county.
J
We
even
have
a
very
strong
partnership
like
recreation
and
parks
alluded
to
where
the
school
system
baltimore
county,
public
schools
and
us
we
will
work
on
their
ball
diamonds
and
their
athletic
fields
with
them.
So
we
have
a
very
strong
partnership
with
the
schools.
Again,
you
will
hear
very
much
about
our
capital
projects
and
enhancement.
We
are
then
responsible
after
we
build
250
plus
buildings
to
maintain
them
the
interior
and
exterior,
and
also
kind
of
plunging
them
forward
into
sustainability.
J
You'll
see
some
projects
that
we're
working
on
to
try
to
bring
us
not
only
into
the
the
fy
22
year,
but
we
also
want
to
be
sustainable
and
look
at
addressing
climate
control
that
is
happening
and
how
we
are
good
citizens
of
with
our
buildings
and
being
as
green
as
we
can,
and
we
also
lease
do
lease
management.
So
the
cap
in
the
county,
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
realize
that
we
lease
our
buildings
to
some
nonprofit
or
other
organizations
that
provide
services
into
the
county
buildings
for
our
agencies.
J
J
J
So
property
management
will
take
every
year,
creates
a
priority
list
based
off
of
the
building
operation
and
equipment
life
cycle.
We
focus
very
much
on
the
how
old
the
roof
is.
The
windows,
the
hvac,
whether
we
need
to
come
in
and
do
full
replacement
of
mechanical
systems
or
whether
we
can
just
do
minor
repairs
to
them.
J
In
addition
to
that,
we
work
very
closely.
As
you
have
heard,
with
programming
needs
for
the
agency.
We
sit
down
yearly
with
them,
if
not
more
frequently,
and
we
talk
about
some
of
their
their
needs
for
their
space
planning
and
and
or
what
services
they
are
providing
and
now
we
can
help
them
and
where
they
need
capital
needs
and
then
collaboratively.
J
Property
management,
the
office
of
budget
and
finance
and
the
agency
will
work
together
to
develop
a
strong
capital
program
that
we
then
present
to
the
ce
with
him
for
approval
and
making
sure
that
there
is
equitability
across
each
agency
and
in
every
community.
J
Considerations
that
are
criteria's
excuse
me
that
are
taken
into
consideration
is
obviously
we
go
by
the
master
plan
and
you
know
we're
making
a
new
master
plan
for
the
county
as
a
whole,
but
we
try
to
take
the
guidelines
and
and
recommendations
that
have
been
made
from
the
prior
master
plan
and
we'll
obviously
use
the
future
master
plan
and
also
align
with
the
county's
missions
and
goals,
as
you
know
that
this
administration
put
a
very
strong,
thoughtful
mission
statement
together,
so
that
we
had
some
accountability
with
our
goals.
J
J
J
Excuse
me
making
smart
choices
and
making
sure
that,
when
we
are
replacing
equipment
that
we're
looking
at
all
avenues
of
how
our
mechanical
systems
are
running
and
whether
we
move
forward
to
going
to
completely
electric
or
do
we
do
solar
and
things
like
that,
we
look
at
enhancing
our
environment.
J
If
we
are
we're
at
a
catastrophic
failure
on
one
particular
thing
or
something
has
gone
down
the
mechanical
system,
we
take
the
time
to
look
at
what
other
things
should
we
do
at
the
same
time
so
that
we
at
least
have
a
reduction
of
impact
to
the
facility
itself,
and
is
it
appropriate
time
to
to
do
just
one
thing
and
get
them
back
up
and
running
or
is
it
we
look
at
it
holistically.
J
The
types
of
projects
completed
in
capital
for
22
this
fiscal
22
year
out
of
the
187,
we
tried
to
give
you
a
breakdown
of
what
types
of
projects
that
we
have
have
been
dealing
with.
So
when
we
say
repairs
and
replacements,
what
happens
in
our
field
is
with
all
best
laid
plans,
and
all
of
you
have
houses-
and
you
know
what
I
mean.
So
what
we
will
do
is
create
a
very
large
capital
project
list
to
say:
okay,
here
are
all
the
mechanical
systems
and
all
of
our
wish
lists.
J
We
want
to
replace
this
roof.
We
want
to
do
this
this
year
and
then
something
obviously
will
break
down
that
we
thought
may
have
two
years
of
life
left
in
it
and,
of
course
you
know
it's
going
to
break
down.
You
have
no
control
over
that.
We
bump
those
projects
up
and
every
time
we
have
to
deal
with
an
emergency
failure
or
repair
that
that
kind
of
drops
everything
else
down.
J
So
I
like
to
say
we're
living
in
a
in
the
real
world
of
like
owning
258
large
homes,
and
that
we
deal
with
every
situation
that
when
we
think
we're
gonna
get
two
more
years
out
of
something
it
goes
down
and
we
have
to
make
a
repair.
J
So
we
have
had
75
of
those
26
projects
were
new
construction
and
installation.
23
were
office,
moves
and
furnitures.
We've
only
had
one
demolition.
This
year
we've
had
four
design
and
studies
that
we
worked
on
and
we
had
58
different
renovations
throughout
the
county.
J
We
would
also
like
to
show
you
that
we
work
very
closely
with
our
customers
in
our
capital
project,
so
59
111
projects
that
were
completed
in
our
capital
project
list
so
far
has
been
actually
customer
generated.
Our
agencies
were
the
ones
who
said
we
need
to
have
this
done
and
we
were
able
to
work
with
them
and
prioritize
them
to
get
what
their
requests
done
and
41
were
capital
projects
that
were
actually
on
the
docket
for
property
management
that
we
actually
generated
and
replaced.
J
Some
of
the
projects
that
were
completed
in
fy
22
and
we
we
would
like
to
brag
about
is
the
fire
stations.
As
you
probably
know,
in
every
fire
station
there
are.
We
have
been
working
very
hard
with
the
fire
department
to
do
extractor,
washers
and
dryers,
and
the
installation
which
is
very
important
for
the
life
and
safety
of
our
firemen
and
fire.
Excuse
me
fire
people,
so
we
have
three
different
phases
phase.
One
is
completely
done.
We
are
now
moving
on
to
phase
two.
J
So
if
I
can
explain
a
little
bit,
we
had
three
different
phases
for
extractors
and
moisture
and
dryer
the
washer
and
dryers
to
be
done,
and
what
we
did
was.
The
first
phase
is
what
we
I
like
to
refer
to
as
low
hanging
fruit.
We
went
in
and
said
what
are
the
easiest
fire
stations
globally,
that
we
can
get
done
without
a
whole
lot
of
design
and
possible
renovation?
J
That
needs
to
be
done.
What
can
we
do
quick?
What
is
the
plug
and
play
for
us
and
the
quickest
ones
that
we
can
get
done?
So
we
have
those
all
done
and
now
we're
moving
on
to
phase
two,
which
we
call
the
medium.
J
We
still
have
to
have
some
design
to
them,
but
we
don't
have
to
do
major
renovation
to
the
facility
to
to
install
the
washer
and
dryer,
so
we're
moving
into
that
phase,
and
our
last
phase,
where
is
phase
three,
is
where
it's
going
to
take
us
some
more
time
to
build
onto
the
building
or
make
some
major
renovation
modify
and
modification
so
that
we
can
accommodate
that.
But
we
really
have
done.
I
do
believe
over
25
in
phase
one
different
installations
to
try
to
move
forward.
J
Another
project
that
you
probably
heard
about
was
the
woodlawn
wick
and
health
center
that
we
were
able
to.
These
were
two
different
facilities,
so
folks
in
the
woodlawn
community
would
have
to
go
to
two
different
sites
to
get
services,
whereas
in
other
communities.
Quite
often
these
two
services
were
put
together
in
the
same
facility.
J
We've
accomplished
that
at
the
woodlawn
and
we
opened
up
our
brand
new
facility
and
renovated
and
fit
out.
So
I
know
dr
branch
was
very
excited
about
that
we
were
able
to
upgrade
the
police
pistol
range,
that
is
indoor
shooting
range
to
make
it
state-of-the-art
and
more
safe
for
our
officers
and
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
customers
that
come
into
the
county
office
building.
J
We
heard
everyone
loud
and
clear
last
year,
so
we
want
to
let
you
know
where
we
are
on
two
projects
that
I
know
was
very
important.
In
the
aging
community
we
actually
completed
woodlawn
senior,
center's,
building
expansion,
study
and
we
are
now
moving
on
to
construction
and
excuse
me
for
full-blown
design
and
construction.
J
J
Expansion
study
for
cockeysville
senior
center
we've
met
with
both
aging
and
and
reckon
parks
because,
as
you
know,
you
can
see
that
there's
a
vault
fields
also
involved,
and
we
came
up
with
a
really
good
solution
on
how
we
could
add
some
parking
onto
this
very
small
lot,
and
I
will
use
my
cursor
to
show
you.
J
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
that,
but
how
we
can
add
more
parking
to
there
to,
hopefully
not
only
meet
aging's
needs
with
additional
parking
for
the
senior
center,
but
also
provide
some
more
support
to
reckon
parks
fiscal
year
23.
We
are
not
stopping,
and
these
are
some
of
the
projects
that
we
hope
to
accomplish.
J
In
our
fy
23
year
we
have
been
charged
with
at
lake
roland,
the
pump
house,
it's
a
beautiful
view
and
the
pump
house
is
needing
of
repair
the
structure
itself,
the
soffits,
the
roof
and-
and
things
like
that,
we
have
to
do
some
maintenance
repairs
to
that.
The
catonsville
fire
station.
J
We
are
going
to
replace
the
slate
roof
that
is
on
that
facility
and
in
the
detention
center
we
are
going
to
replace
five
bowlers
that
are
currently
at
their
at
life
expectancy
and
a
life
expectancy
and
in
the
circuit
court
building.
We
are
currently
going
to
start
a
space,
design
and
systemic
renovation.
J
So
this
is
a
very
interesting
building
is
probably
very
all
of
you
know,
and
it
had
been
added
on
for
years.
Different
levels,
the
court
system
themselves
and
the
people
in
the
facility
have
really
changed
from
the
way
it
was
built
to
how
they
operate
now,
and
also
every
time
that
they
added
a
floor
onto
this
facility.
J
The
hvac
system
didn't
quite
marry
into
the
next
floor,
so
it
has
now
become
an
antiquated
system
and
we
would
like
to
really
upgrade
our
mechanical
system
in
this
very
heavily
used
building
and
look
at
a
system
that
really
helps
us
holistically.
Look
at
this
building
and
start
saving
some
energy
by
having
building
automation,
systems
controlling
the
building,
where
we
can
control
the
temperatures
and
and
and
maybe
even
have
some
reduction
in
energy
in
a
very
heavily
used
building.
J
Some
other
projects,
we're
doing
is,
we
hope,
to
be
well
underway
with
the
wilkins
police,
the
new
police
precinct.
J
We
are
going
to
be
adding
solar
panels
to
randallstown
community
center
dundalk
fire
station,
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
replacement
bowler
there
and
at
hill
and
jail
fire
we're
going
to
be
replacing
a
generator
one
of
generators,
not
a
not
an
exciting
project
to
most.
But
when
the
electric
goes
down
in
a
fire
station
and
police
station,
it's
pretty
major
for
their
operations.
They
need
that
to
keep
running,
so
we
try
to
keep
up
with
replacements
on
there.
J
In
addition
to
that,
hernwood
and
parkville
landfills.
As
many
of
you
know,
we
are
talking
about
taking
the
brown
fields
and
making
them
up
a
solar
field
which
we're
very
excited
about
and
at
golden
ring
fire
we're
going
to
design
and
replace
a
new
hvac
system
and
then
the
loch
raven
center,
the
old
elementary.
We
are
going
to
do
a
major
roof
replacement
on
that
facility.
J
As
I
said
earlier,
in
addition
to
the
projects
that
you've
seen
here,
we
work
very
closely
with
the
library
and
runner
recreation
parks
and
they
obviously
are
going
to
present
and
have
presented
their
projects
that
they
hope
to
accomplish,
and
we
will
be
glad
to
be
one
of
their
partners
in
the
endeavor
that
ends
our
presentation.
I'll,
be
glad
to
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
You
miss
schindle,
so
at
this
time
are
there
any
questions
for.
G
Miss
schindle
this
is
kathy
and
the
woodlawn
health
center
is
that
leased.
That's
leased
from
set
the
captives
free.
J
Yes,
ma'am.
We
do
lease
the
facility,
but
like
any
lease,
we're
still
responsible
for
what's
in
the
facility
ourselves,
our
own
build
out
and
what
our
requirements
were.
Yes,
ma'am.
J
G
You
and
and
last
the
the
solar
facility
on
fernwood
road.
It's
enormous.
It's
enormous!
When
is
construction
expected
to
start
on
that.
J
So
we
are
still
in
the
middle
of
working
on
design
with
that,
and
I
don't
really
have
a
construction
date.
That's
that's
really
ready.
We
have
to
work
very
closely
with
bge
and
the
contractor
to
kind
of
work
through
how
we're
going
to
do
the
interconnection,
but
I
would
imagine
in
the
next
four
months
we
will
be
able
to
release
a
more
firmer
date
on
when
we'll
have
that
four
months
you
say
yes
ma'am
and
around
that
yeah.
Okay,.
L
Mr
haleuk,
this
is
ed
blades.
Do
you
mind
if
I
add
to
deb's
presentation?
L
One
of
the
slabs
we
probably
should
have
included
is
that
in
the
fy
22
budget,
the
county
executive
included
three
million
dollars
for
north
county
senior
center
and
we
are
currently
active
actively
trying
to
locate
a
site
for
the
the
north
county,
the
hereford
senior
center
and
the
ideal
building
once
we
find
a
site,
would
would
include
a
gymnasium
and
I
think
that's.
It
would
be
something
similar
in
my
mind
to
the
jacksonville
senior
rec
center
combination.
But-
and
you
know
I
know,
the
county
executive
is
open
to
that
concept.
F
Thank
you
a
couple
couple
sites
in
harvard
county
down
at
emerton
and
churchville,
which
have
not
expensive
facilities
but
they're,
very
practical
for
use
of
recreation
and
and
they
can
also
be
used
for
the
school
system
also,
but
anyway,
I
appreciate
your
comments.
Sure
I.
J
And
I
will.
I
would
like
to
testify
that
mr
blades
has
been
on
me
about
if
we
build
something
he
wants
a
gymnasium
there.
B
B
And
deb,
one
thing
you
never
you
didn't
highlight
again
is
how
much
you
did
over
the
last
year
for
covid
and
you
supported
a
lot
of
outdoor
events
and
you
kept
our
communities
together,
and
so
we're
very
very
grateful
for
that,
and
we
appreciate
what
you
and
your
staff
have
done
for
our
communities.
B
J
You
I
I
will
do
a
shout
out
not
for
me,
but
the
team.
Thank
you
for
that
recognition.
The
covet.
Might
we
really
have
been
front
and
center
in
the
covid,
so
anything
coveted
property
management
probably
has
touched,
including
the
community
distribution
of
rapid
tests.
I
got
you
know
the
county
executive
is
very
passionate
and
he
he
really
does
try
to
support
the
communities
with
the
food
drives
and,
yes,
we
were
very
much
involved,
but
I
also
use
the
silent.
J
J
A
You
show
the
the
slide
about
renovations
at
lake
roland
and
that
actually
brought
a
question
up.
How
many
of
the
properties
do
you
have
to
worry
about
sort
of
historic
preservation
rules
I
mean
I
would
think
the
like
roland
pump
site
would
be.
I
mean,
is
that
something
where
you
have
to
follow
different
guidelines?
You
might
elsewhere.
J
Absolutely
so,
if
anything
is
on
and
we
have
a
list
of
everything
on
the
historic
preservation
list
and
depending
on
what
type
of
list
it
is
whether
it's
the
maryland,
you
probably
very
well
know
that.
But
we
are
aware-
and
we
get
told
every
time
something
does
go
on
the
preservation
list
and
it's
under
our
maintenance.
J
We
put
it
in
there,
and
so
we
do
follow
very
strict
guidelines
and
we
will
take
it
through
the
maryland
historic
trust
to
make
sure
that
they
are
comfortable
with
anything
that
we
are
doing
and
that
they
approve
how
we
are
modifying
or
changing
out,
windows
and-
and
things
like
that.
So
yes,
sir,
that
is
part
of
our
design
and
construction
process,
and
I'm.
A
Does
anyone
else
have
any
questions
for
ms
schindle,
then
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
very
useful
and
I
hopefully
people
you
know
again.
It's
amazing
how
many
different
things
you
guys
have
to
do
every
all
the
time
so
good.
A
Finally,
we
will
have
a
presentation
from
the
baltimore
county
public
library
miss
sonia,
I'm
gonna
butcher,
the
name
akatara
antoine.
How
well
did
I
do.
M
I
M
M
M
We
do
a
lot
to
serve
the
community
and
we
really
pride
ourselves
on
serving
our
community
with
distinction
and
helping
to
level
the
playing
field
so
that
everybody
has
access
to
the
resources
and
the
information
that
they're
going
to
need
to
be
successful
in
school
work
and
in
life.
We
have
19
facilities
around
the
county
and
you
can
see
it
on
the
map
or
represented
by
the
blue
dots.
M
The
average
age
of
our
buildings
is
48
years.
So,
if
you
think
about
it's
about
50
years
old
right,
so
you
think
about
all
the
changes
that
have
happened
in
life
in
our
world
in
society
in
the
past
50
years.
The
way
people
access
information,
the
way
people
consume
information,
the
tools
and
technology
that
we
use
to
access
information
and
to
communicate
is
completely
different
at
the
time
that
our
libraries
were
built.
M
You
can
see
from
the
age
of
our
our
buildings,
our
newest,
our
youngest,
is
our
owings
mills,
library,
which
is
just
under
a
decade
old
to
our
reisterstown
library,
which
is
our
oldest
facility
and
the
oldest
part
of
the
building
is
201
years
old
in
terms
of
size.
Loch
raven
is
our
smallest
branch.
It's
at
2500
square
feet
and
owings
mills
is
54
000
square
feet.
Towson
is
technically
our
largest
facility,
where
it's
a
public
library
combined
with
our
administrative
space
and
that's
85
000
square
feet.
M
I
point
out
the
size
of
our
facilities,
because
the
state
has
a
guideline
that
there
should
be
one
square
foot
of
public
library,
space
per
capita
based
on
our
population.
Here
in
baltimore
county,
we
fall
significantly
short
instead
of
having
one
square
foot
per
capita
per
capita
here
in
baltimore
county
we
have
0.55
per
capita,
so
we
don't
have
a
number.
We
don't
have
an
adequate
number
of
facilities
throughout
the
county,
but,
more
importantly,
a
number
of
our
facilities
are
too
small
and
lock
raymond
being
just
a
prime
example
of
that
next
slide.
M
Please,
we
have
a
building
philosophy
here
at
bcpl
and
when
we
look
to
upgrade
or
improve
any
of
our
facilities.
These
guidelines
here
guide
us
it's
kind
of
like
our
lodestone.
This
is
this
is
what
guides
us
as
we
move
forward
and
reimagining
our
spaces.
We
want
spaces
that
are
designed
and
appointed
and
maintained,
to
meet
and
surpass
21st
century
needs
of
our
users
and
and
the
communities
that
we
serve.
M
We
want
spaces
that
are
open
and
light
filled
and
easy
to
navigate,
and
we
also
want
facilities
that
are
secure,
comfortable
and
accessible
for
all,
and
this
isn't
just
what
we
want.
This
is
also
what
our
customers,
what
our
library
users
tell
us
that
they
want
and
what
they
appreciate
as
well.
Next
slide.
M
There
is
a
video
that
we
want
to
share
with
everybody
and
I'm
hoping
that
after
the
presentation,
you'll
you'll
you'll
get
a
copy
of
this
presentation.
So
you
can
click
on
the
video
itself.
It's
a
little
long.
So
I
didn't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time
showing
the
video
tonight,
but
it
highlights
what
21st
century
libraries
look
like.
M
There
are
a
number
of
new,
exciting
and
bold
library
facilities
that
have
been
constructed
very
close
to
us
nearby
in
other
counties
and
they're
really
setting
the
pace
in
terms
of
what
libraries
look
like
today,
and
when
you
compare
those
library
facilities
to
what
we
have
here
in
baltimore
county,
it's
clear
that
we've
we've
fallen
a
little
short.
Today's
libraries
have
our
centers
for
learning,
play,
exploration
and
discovery,
we're
not
it's
not
just
about
books
or
solely
just
about
books,
we're
not
shushing
people,
it's
the
opposite.
M
There's
a
lot
of
activity,
there's
a
lot
of
learning
and
play,
and
engagement
and
and
just
really
dynamic
spaces,
and
today's
libraries
need
to
accommodate
those
types
of
activities.
M
We
have
to
have
spaces,
for
you
know
the
quiet
and
the
noisy,
and
the
solitary
and
social
activities.
People
still
do
come
to
libraries
and
they're,
hoping
for
a
quiet
space
and-
and
so
we
have
to
serve
people
that
come
to
libraries
for
traditional
reasons,
but
we
also
have
to
serve
people
who
come
to
libraries
for
the
new
non-traditional
reasons.
M
M
M
M
Just
just
last
month
we
were
distributing
winter
coats
at
the
library,
and
these
are
all
new
things
that
are
happening
at
libraries
that
go
well
beyond
books
and
our
facilities
need
to
be
able
to
allow
us
to
to
provide
these
services
to
the
community,
and
today's
libraries
have
sufficient
and
varied
seating,
including
collaborative
workstations,
and
they
provide
spaces,
inclusive
spaces
for
all
ages
and
are
reflective
of
our
diverse
community.
So
again,
we
are
not
just
about
books,
anymore,
libraries
are
have
changed
and
evolved,
and
our
facilities
need
to
keep
keep
pace
with
that
next
slide.
M
K
I
get
the
pleasure
of
reviewing
some
of
our
recent
accomplishments
and
capital
projects
and
some
of
the
things
we're
currently
working
on
and
I'd
like
to
start
with
our
biggest
capital
project
that
we
just
completed
several
months
ago,
which
was
the
renovation
and
historic
restoration
of
the
reisterstown
library.
K
C
K
Just
a
couple
of
shots
of
the
renovated
interior:
there
is
a
youtube
video,
that's
linked
at
the
bottom
of
the
previous
screen,
and
if
you
have
a
chance,
I
would
recommend
you
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
a
good
before
and
after
video,
which
illustrates
how
we
transformed
what
was
a
dark
crowded,
dated
library
into
a
modern,
open,
gracious,
21st
century
library,
space,
and
here
are
a
couple
of
photographs
to
illustrate
that
transformation
on
the
left
is
our
new
library
computer
center.
K
This
is
where
our
public
computers
are
located
and
our
customer
service
desk
and
on
the
right.
This
is
the
lobby
of
the
new
renovated
building,
which
shows
both
our
digital
display
and
our
historic
breisterstown
artifacts
display,
where
we
rotate
items
from
the
history
room
for
the
enjoyment
of
our
customers.
Anyone
visiting
the
branch
next
slide,
please.
K
These
are
a
few
more
pictures
on
the
far
left
we
took
what
was
once
an
outdoor
courtyard
that
was
rarely
used.
We
enclosed
it
and
made
it
into
a
year-round
usable
space,
and
so
now
this
is
one
of
the
most
popular
spaces
in
the
library.
It's
also
the
location
of
our
preservation
station,
which
are
which
is
our
culture
and
history
center
of
excellence
at
reisterstown,
and
it's
already
extremely
popular.
It's
a
place
where
you
can
take
old
photos,
family
memorabilia,
old
videos,
old
tapes
and
then
transfer
them
to
digital
format.
K
Next
slide,
please
other
projects
that
we've
completed
this
past
year
and
what
is
illustrated
for
you
is
the
restoration.
Excuse
me,
the
renovation
of
the
rosedale
public
meeting
room
again
we
took
we
took
a
dated
meeting
room
and
modernized
it
to
21st
century
standards,
including
installing
new
lighting,
a
new,
more
economical
and
easily
maintainable
flooring,
material
and
also
acoustical
treatments
to
help
with
sound
absorption.
K
We
also
this
year
completed
the
restoration
and
resurfacing
of
the
white
marsh
library
parking
lot,
and
we
also
took
care
of
some
smaller
projects,
such
as
the
wall
repair
at
the
cockeysville
library
when
a
vehicle
went
into
the
building,
so
it
does
occasionally
happen
in
our
libraries
and
all
of
these
projects.
We
could
not
do
without
the
support
and
partnership
of
baltimore
county
property
management,
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
debra
schindle
and
her
team.
K
K
Currently,
we
are.
We
are
working
on
a
major
renovation
of
the
catonsville
library.
This
is
a
major
interior
renovation
that
we've
been
planning
for
several
years.
We
are
in.
We
are
in
the
final
design
phases
at
this
point
and
we
are
hoping
to
actually
begin
construction
late
in
fy,
22
or
early
fy
23..
K
This
this.
This
renovation
will
be
a
full
interior
renovation
of
the
space,
completely
redesigning
and
rethinking
the
interior
to
create
more
open
space,
more
space
for
customers,
more
interactive
space
for
teens
and
children,
but
also
on
the
lower
level
to
install
a
new
center
of
excellence,
which
will
be
an
audio
video
recording
studio
in
line
with
catonsville's
identity
as
a
music
center
and
an
art
center.
K
So
we're
really
excited
about
this
4.2
million
dollar
project
that
we're
about
to
undertake
and
I'm
looking
are
looking
forward
to
the
transformation
of
the
catonsville
branch
next
slide.
Please,
among
the
other
capital
projects,
is
to
hit
them
lightly
that
we
are
currently
working
on
with
property
management,
the
renovation
of
our
meeting
room
and
restrooms
at
the
white
marsh
library,
restoration
of
the
restrooms
at
the
pikesville
library.
K
We
are
working
on
resurfacing,
the
parking
lot
at
the
pikesville
library
and
senior
center,
and
also
some
hvac
upgrades
to
our
north
point
library
and
some
customer
service
desk
improvements
at
our
cockeysville
perry.
Hall
branches
slide,
please
in
all
of
these
projects
that
the
library
undertakes
and
that
we
partner
with
property
management
to
accomplish.
We
are
always
looking
at
sustainability
and
energy
efficiencies.
So
each
of
our
renovations
and
improvements
we
take
into
consideration
how
to
use
modern
and
energy.
Efficient
hvac
led
led
building
elements.
K
Energy
efficient
lighting
on
the
inside
and
outside
of
the
building.
Many
of
our
branches
are
getting
electric
vehicle
charging
stations.
Now
in
our
furnishings
and
fabrics,
we
look
for
natural
recycled
and
pvc
free
fabrics
and
where
we
can,
we
try
to
put
pollinator
gardens
and
plantings
and
green
spaces
in
all
of
our
buildings
or
around
all
of
our
buildings
slide.
Please
I'll
turn.
M
So
we
do
get
some
funding
from
the
county.
We
get
1.95
million
dollars
every
two
years
and
we
do
appreciate
the
county's
attention
to
our
capital
needs
and,
as
james
said
before
very
eloquently,
we
really
do
value
our
partnership
with
property
management,
because
without
them
we
would
not
be
able
to
have
any
get
any
momentum
on
any
of
our
capital
projects
at
all.
M
We,
but
1.95
million
dollars
every
two
years
is
is
inadequate.
Frankly,
we
have
19
aging
and
heavily
used
buildings
that
require
a
significant
investment
and
I'll
add
that
the
1.95
million
covers
not
just
renovation
and
construction
costs,
but
it
also
covers
scheduled
and
unscheduled
maintenance.
So,
for
example,
if
we
need
to
replace
a
chiller
or
you
know,
part
of
a
roof
or
something
at
a
branch,
it
has
to
come
from
that
that
same
pot
of
money.
M
So,
typically
in
order
for
us
to
do
any
significant
capital
project,
we
have
to
cobble
money
together
from
multiple
sources,
to
to
bolster
the
account
the
dollars
that
we
get
from
the
county,
and
we
do
a
lot
with
what
we
have.
We
are
able
to
to
to
stretch
our
limited
dollars
to
to
try
to
to
do
these
projects.
M
However,
the
needs
at
the
19
locations
continue
to
outpace
those
resources
and
sometimes
when
we
are
able
to
have
enough
money,
save
enough
money
and
get
money
from
other
sources
to
be
able
to
do
a
renovation
or
a
capital
project.
We're
not
able
to
do
all
the
things
that
the
community
asks
us
to
do
so,
for
example,
you
know
oftentimes.
M
We
can
really
only
focus
on
the
interior
of
the
library
when,
in
fact,
we
need
to
also
focus
on
the
exterior
or
sometimes
we
can
only
do
a
renovation
when,
in
fact,
what
we
need
to
do
is
an
expansion
or
something
more
significant
to
the
building.
A
really
good
example
of
that
was
the
randallstown
library
renovation
that
was
completed
in
2017..
M
We
we
did,
I
feel
like
we
did.
We
used,
we
made
best
use
of
the
dollars
that
we
had
and
the
facility
is
beautiful.
On
the
inside,
however,
we
didn't
have
enough
money
to
fully
complete
the
renovation
and
there
were
parts
of
the
lower
level
of
the
building
that
we
weren't
really
able
to
touch.
So
in
today's
dollars.
M
If
you
consider
the
fact
that
the
average
interior
library
renovation
cost
from
anywhere
from
four
to
eight
million
dollars
or
the
average
new
library
building
can
cost
up
to
20
million
dollars,
you
can
see
that
1.95
million
dollars
is
really
is
really
inadequate.
Next
slide,
please.
M
I
pulled
a
number
of
library
systems
in
the
county
whom
we
consider
to
be
pure
libraries,
and
you
can
see
that
the
investment
in
public
libraries
and
other
counties
here
in
the
state
outpaces
what
we
have
here
in
baltimore
county.
This
list
is
not
exhaustive.
M
M
We
do
seek
state
funding
and
private
funding,
but
we're
we're
looking
for
a
strong
commitment
from
baltimore
county
government
being
that
the
buildings
that
we
have
are
owned
by
baltimore
county
government,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
21st
century
libraries
right
here
in
baltimore
county,
and
we
want
our
community
to
be
able
to
enjoy
that
and
not
have
to
go
outside
of
the
county
to
be
able
to
to
be
able
to
have
access
to
those
resources.
M
Libraries
are
integral
to
the
quality
of
life
of
every
community.
Every
great
community
has
a
great
public
library
system.
I
dare
you
to
mention
to
me
at
the
name
of
any
city
or
county
that
you
that
you
would
consider
to
be
great,
and
I
can
I
can
tell
you
without
a
doubt
that
they
will
more
than
likely
almost
always
have
a
fantastic,
well-funded
and
well-resourced
public
library
system.
M
Investing
in
public
libraries
pays
off
in
dividends,
because
public
libraries
provide
everyone
with
the
resources
that
they
need
to
be
successful
and
to
thrive.
Libraries
strengthen
and
enhance
communities
we're
asking
for
an
adequately
funded
five-year
capital
budget
so
that
baltimore
county
public
library
can
progress
on
facility
improvements
that
are
long
overdue.
No
library
pun
intended
next
slide.
Please.
M
These
are
some
of
the
projects
that
we're
looking
at
for
the
next
five
years
and
we're
hoping
to
to
get
the
funding
and
the
resources
to
be
able
to
to
make
it
happen.
Woodlawn
library,
we
have
a
unique
opportunity
in
deb,
schindler's
presentation.
Prior
she
talked
about
the
new
woodlawn
wic
and
health
center.
Well,
once
upon
a
time
they
used
to
have
a
space
below
the
the
woodlawn
library
that
space
is
now
vacated
and
we
have
a
golden
opportunity
to
do
something
really.
Transformational
in
that
facility.
M
The
library
is
located
next
door
to
woodlawn
high
school
and
every
day
after
school,
there's,
usually
there's
usually
about
150
to
200
teenagers
at
the
library.
It's
a
captive
audience
and
we
really
want
to
do
something.
Amazing
woodlawn
is
also
the
site
of
one
of
our
storyville
centers,
so
it's
already
a
place
for
youth
and
families
and
we're
really
looking
to
to
think
outside
the
box
in
terms
of
what
that
library
could
be
and
what
it
needs
to
be
for
its
community.
M
This
year
we
are
going
to
be
engaging
in
a
design
study
and
we've
we've
just
gotten
the
ball
rolling
on
that
to
try
to
imagine
what
the
possibilities
are
and
we're
looking
forward
to
engaging
directly
with
the
community
to
try
to
find
out
what
is
it,
what
it
is
that
they
want
and
need
in
a
new
facility,
we
estimate
the
cost
of
a
new
woodlawn
library
to
be
around
9.5
million
dollars.
M
The
second
project
that
we're
really
passionate
about
is
lansdowne
lansdowne.
The
building
is
too
small
at
about
5400
square
feet.
It's
too
small
for
the
service
area
for
the
community
that
it
serves.
Remember
the
standard
is
one
square
foot
per
capita
so
by
that
metric,
lansdowne
library
should
be
closer
to
fifteen
thousand
dollar
fifteen
thousand
square
feet.
Excuse
me
we're
looking
to
partner
with
existing
agencies.
There
aging,
possibly
the
school
system,
to
create
something
really
transformational
for
people
in
the
community
and
so
over
the
next
year.
M
Towson
library
and
and
administrative
offices
is
another
priority
for
us.
The
building
has
significant
accessibility
issues
in
the
public
library
and
it
is
an
equity
issue
because
it
is
the
only
public
library
in
baltimore
county
where
people
have
to
pay
to
park
and
relocation.
The
the
idea
of
relocation
is
something
that
has
been
discussed
for
the
past
10
years.
I'm
the
fifth
library
director
for
baltimore,
county
library,
directors,
number
three
and
number
four,
also
mused
and
talked
kind
of
you
know,
informally.
M
M
The
preference
would
be
to
have
it
embedded
in
a
neighborhood
so
that
it's
walkable
and
accessible
to
children
and
families,
and
it's
also
too
small,
as
per
state
guidelines,
and
so
an
estimated
cost
of
something
like
that
would
be
18
and
a
half
million
dollars.
And
I'll
also
note
that
this
for
three
of
the
four
libraries
is
it's
an
equity
issue,
because
woodlawn,
lansdowne
and
essex
are
are
communities
that
are
higher
on
the
social
vulnerability
index.
M
M
On
behalf
on
behalf
of
baltimore
county
public
library,
our
staff,
our
library
board
of
trustees,
all
of
the
customers
and
all
the
users
in
the
community
who
use
the
library,
I
thank
you
for
your
advocacy
and
your
support
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
to
talk
about
the
library
and
and
let
you
know
what
what
it
is,
that
we
need
and
and
what
our
plans
are
and
what
the
vision
is
for
for
the
future.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
mr
cook
for
your
presentations.
Are
there
questions
comments
for
miss
alcantara,
antoine.
E
I
have
two
questions,
scott.
I
am
not
going
to
attempt
to
say
her
name
say
your
name,
because
I
know
I'll
get
it
wrong
and
I
don't
want
to
do
that.
But
I
do
want
to
ask:
why
is
the
funding
for
baltimore
county
libraries
so
incredibly
low
compared
to
other
counties.
M
A
M
Well,
as
I
said
before,
our
need
is:
we
need
150
million
dollars
for
11
facilities,
other
the
other
library
systems
that
I
that
I
pointed
out
their
their
capital
budgets
are
project
based
so
every
five
years
they
have
a
new
budget
and
it's
not
the
same
amount
every
time
it's
just
based
on
whatever
projects
that
they've
got
on
the
slate
and
so
for
us.
You
know:
we've
prioritized
our
11
facilities
and
we
have
rough
estimates
in
terms
of
what
we
think
those
projects
would
cost.
M
We
have
an
idea
of
what's
needed
in
those
cases
and
and
and
have
been
able
to
come
up
with
decent
cost
estimates
based
on
that
and
by
the
way
we
we
did,
this.
The
library
system
engaged
in
a
facility
study
in
2017,
and
I
had
that
updated
for
2021.
So
the
cost
estimates
that
I've
given.
You
are
2021
numbers,
so
we're
hoping
for
a
five-year
capital
budget
that
so
we
can
tackle
those
four
projects
that
that
I
talked
about
tonight:
woodlawn,
lansdowne,
towson
and
essex.
A
So
the
150
million
dollar
number
you
cited
earlier,
that's
based
on
the
the
most
this
2021
study.
M
E
L
Mr
hello,
this
is
ed
blades
good
night
and
serve
myself.
Do
you
mind
for
programming
in
a
cip?
Yes,
it's
1.95
million.
That
is
programmed,
but
we
do
get
in
to
you
know.
We
do
have
a
good
dialogue
and
we've
really
are
developing
a
very
an
excellent
relationship
with
a
new
director
and
last
year
the
county
executive
did
include
7.2
million
dollars
for
specific
projects
in
the
library,
including
you
know,
looking
at
feasibility
and
design
for
lands
down
feasibility
for
woodlawn,
we
are
engaged
and
working
collaboratively,
but
it
is.
L
M
And
as
an
addendum,
we
also
you
know
whatever
whatever
money,
that
we
don't
aren't
able
to
expend
in
our
operating
budget.
We
we
save
it
in
a
fund
balance,
so
it's
kind
of
like
our
piggy
bank,
and
so
we
do
use
that
to
supplement
whatever
money
that
we
are
able
to
get
from
the
county,
and
we
also
can
apply
for
capital
grants
through
the
state.
M
Usually
the
the
max
amount
is
about
a
million,
so
we
and
those
are
competitive
grants
they're,
not
guaranteed,
but
we
we
have
been
successful
at
getting
that
funding.
But
having
said
that,
I
do
think
that
we
do
need
a
significant
infusion
of
resources
to
be
able
to
to
do
justice
to
the
to
the
buildings
that
that
do
need
greater
investment.
E
Has
the
towson
library
at
that
location
ever
been
appraised,
and
if
so,
what
was
it
appraised
for
and
does
I
assume
the
county
does
own
that
property
and
that
and
that
land.
M
Yes
and
deb
might
be
able
to
answer
this
question.
I
know
that
recently
the
question
was
asked
about
what
is
the
value
of
of
this
site,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
have
the
answer
to
that
question,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
here
being
that
there's
all
of
this
development
that's
happening
right
around
towson
library.
M
J
If
you
would
like
me
to
jump
in
it's
deb,
schendel,
katie,
nice,
to
see
you
again
great,
so
just
letting
you
know
we
are
working
on
that
with
real
estate
compliance
right
now.
That
is
one
of
the
avenues
that
the
ce
wanted
us
to
look
at.
To
see
what
kind
of
value
the
property
would
bring
in,
that
would
be
a
determining
factor
whether
we
stay
or
sell
it
so
that
we
can
then
build
something
that
is
more
adequate
for
their
needs.
So
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
B
Thanks,
deb
and
and
sonia
your
passion
is
unbelievable,
I'm
sure
you're,
gonna
move
mountains,
we're
very
grateful
to
have
you.
Thank
you.
A

some
of
those
look
like
again.
