A
So
I
would
now
like
to
start
with
a
presentation
from
the
department
of
environmental
protection
and
sustainability.
I'd
like
to
invite
mr
david
likens
from
the
department
of
violent
protection
to
begin
his
presentation.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
our
needs
and
our
wants
and
what
we
do
at
any
point
along
the
line.
You
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
stop
me.
B
B
B
Here's
a
picture
of
beautiful
bird
river
in
baltimore
county,
it's
hard
to
believe
it's
hard
to
remember
that
we
actually
have
200
miles
of
shoreline
in
baltimore
county.
That's
a
lot,
that's
a
significant
amount,
but
you
know
we
see
scenes
like
this.
It's
just
hard
to
believe.
So
this
is
our
department
organizational
chart.
I
just
want
to
I
bring
this
up
every
year
to
show
you.
B
We
have
80
people.
We
do
basically
two
things
on
the
lower
left,
stormwater
management,
environmental
impact
review
and
groundwater.
Those
three
sections
of
our
department
review
development
issues,
plans
permits
any
development
issues,
the
watershed,
restoration,
watershed
management
and
monitoring,
and
our
forest
management
group
run
our
ms4
and
npds
permit
for
the
county
and
that's
where
we
spend
our
capital
dollars.
B
B
We
have
to
inspect
them
every
three
years
and
make
required
people
to
do
repairs.
We
repair
ours.
Our
department
is
responsible
for
all
the
stormwater
management
facilities
in
the
county.
We
consolidated
that
a
year
or
two
ago
that
we
have
everybody's,
except
we
don't
do
revenue
authority
and
we
don't
do
a
board
of
education.
B
B
Groundwater
management
are
the
well
and
septic
guys
and
then
watershed
restoration,
they're
they're
spending
your
money,
our
capital
dollars
on
things
like
stream,
restoration,
shoreline
jobs,
watershed
management,
monitoring;
they
actually
run
the
ms4
mpds
permit
for
the
county,
and
they
have
support
groups,
a
gis
group.
They
have
watershed,
managers
that
work
with
all
the
environmental
groups,
bluewater
baltimore's,
patapsco
heritage,
all
the
different
groups.
B
And
finally,
we
have
a
forest
management
group
which
is
pretty
small,
but
in
my
capital
budget
I
did
ask
working
with
the
county
executive.
On
the
operating
side,
I've
asked
for
six
more
people
to
help
run
that
section
to
do
street
trees,
an
urban
forest.
We
have
a
rural
reforestation
program
which
plants
trees,
one
acre,
five
acre
20
acres
at
a
clip.
B
We
have
an
urban
reforestation
group
that
does
street
trees.
Things
like
a
bald
burlap
six
to
eight
foot
tree
that
you
would
see
along
the
side
of
the
street
and
then
we
also
plant
for
forest
conservation.
So
we
need
more
people
to
keep
all
those
programs
going
and
to
keep
the
trees
alive.
We
need
a
maintenance
section
and
so
at
the
urging
of
the
county
executive,
I've
asked
for
six
more
people,
but
going
along
with
that
there's
a
corresponding
capital
dollars
that
we
need
to
help
that
program
grow.
So
in
our
capital
budget.
B
We've
actually
asked
for
more
money
for
that
group
this
year
also,
but
that's
what
our
department
does
and
the
last
three
groups
are
the
ones
that
really
spend
the
capital
dollars
and
run
the
pro.
Our
ms4
program
is
for
the
county,
not
just
for
our
department,
so
these
are
the
the
different
drivers.
I
guess
other
programs,
we
call
it
ms4
and
mpds
permits
that
the
county
has,
and
everybody
says
well
what
do
those
really
mean?
B
So
ms4
is
municipal
for
the
m,
separate
storm
sewer
system
and
then
npds's
national
pollution
discharge
elimination
systems
permits
that
we
get
from
the
state
and
from
the
epa
to
be
able
to
discharge
stormwater
both
point
and
non-point
into
the
streams
the
storm
drains
of
baltimore
county
actually
into
the
state
of
maryland.
B
In
that
permit,
they
give
us
a
permit
every
five
years.
We
just
got
a
new
permit
actually
in
november
of
last
year,
but
the
things
that
are
included
in
that
they
require
us
to
do
restoration
of
impervious
surfaces.
So
what
that
means
is
to
address
the
pollutants
that
are
running
off
of
any
hard
surface,
whether
it
be
a
road
or
a
building,
and
in
this
permit
we
have
to
address
pollution
from
3167
acres
of
impervious
surface.
That's
about
10
of
the
hard
surfaces
in
baltimore
county.
B
B
Most
of
those
again
are
similar
to
the
chesapeake
bay
tm
pollutants,
nitrogen
phosphorus
sediment,
but
we
also
have
things
like
bacteria
that
get
into
streams.
We
have
legacy
pollutants
like
pcbs,
which
haven't
been
used
since
the
80s
they
were
outlawed
in
the
80s,
and
things
like
mercury
that
comes
through
air
pollution.
So
all
of
these
things
pollute
different
stream
systems
and
the
bay
and
in
our
permit,
we're
required
to
reduce
those
pollutants.
So
that's
basically
where
we
spend
all
your
capital
dollars.
B
In
our
new
permit
that
we
just
got
again
3
100
acres,
impervious
surface
that
we
have
to
treat,
we
did
something,
so
our
last
permit
expired.
It
was
from
2013
to
2018,
and
we've
spent
the
last
three
years
negotiating
with
the
state
and
the
epa
to
do
something
called
mep,
which
is
maximum
extent
practicable.
B
B
So
we
spent
three
years
negotiating
with
them
to
tell
them
how
many
people
we
have
how
much
money
we
have,
what
our
whole
program
is
about,
and
they
include
restrictions
in
the
permit
that
they
think
that
we
can
actually
achieve
they've
changed
rules
about
street
street,
sweeping
they've
revised
the
accounting
rules,
there's
a
it's
the
science
that
they
use.
It's
based
on
the
chesapeake
bay
model,
they've
just
gone
from
chesapeake
bay
model,
5
to
phase
six,
so
they've
changed
the
rules.
B
They've
changed
the
accounting
procedures
and
with
that,
our
restoration
priorities
might
shift
where
we
might
have
gotten
a
lot
of
credit
for
stream
restoration
before
maybe
they
reduced
that
now,
we'll
try
to
plant
more
trees,
so
we're
busy
analyzing
the
permit
that
we
just
got
to
to
do
what's
most
cost
effective
to
spend
the
amount
of
money
that
we
spend
and
we
spend
between
20
and
30
million
dollars
a
year
trying
to
address
these
issues.
It's
not
cheap
in
the
ms4
permit.
What
are
some
of
the
new
things
they
put
in
there?
B
They
allow
you
credit
for
floating
wetlands.
Now
we
don't
have
any
flooding
wetlands
in
baltimore
county,
but
if
you're,
maybe
seen
in
the
harbor
down
in
the
harbor
they
have
baltimore
city
has
put
in
floating
wetlands
you're
allowed
to
have
credit
for
that.
Now.
As
far
as
conservation,
the
state
requires
us
to
address
forest
conservation.
B
B
They
revised
the
storm
drain,
cleaning
credits.
Again,
it's
the
county's
permit.
It's
not
just
my
departments,
it
involves
public
works,
it
involves
property
management,
it
involves
the
school
system,
it
involves
pai,
we
get
all
kinds
of
different
groups
in
the
county,
so
storm
drain
cleaning
is
done
by
public
works
street
sweeping
there's
different
credits.
You
get
for
different
kinds
of
street
sweeping
when
you,
when
you
street
sweeper,
comes
along
if
it
picks
up
big
particulate
matter,
that's
different
than
the
fine
dust
that
it
would
pick
up.
B
So
it's
kind
of
like
having
a
hepa
filter
on
your
vacuum,
cleaner
at
home,
where
you
can
get
the
real
fine
dust.
The
real
fine
dust
is
what
stays
suspended
in
the
water
and
causes
more
pollution,
so
the
better
the
street
sweeping
equipment,
the
better.
The
credit
that
you
get.
That
again,
is
something
that's
done
by
public
works.
B
Sometimes
they
spend
you
know
again,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
increasing
their
type
of
machines
that
they
have
to
be
able
to
get
better
pollution
reductions.
B
So
they've
put
this
in
many
of
the
counties
permits
you
know.
There's
salt
is
polluting
all
reservoirs
as
you
sample
the
reservoirs.
You
see
sodium
and
chloride
levels
going
way
up
almost
to
health,
dangerous
levels
for
health.
Fortunately
we're
ahead
of
the
curve.
Our
department
of
public
works
has
been
buying
new
equipment
over
the
last
few
years
to
track
where
how
much
salts
put
down
where
it's
put
down
and
to
put
gauges
on
the
trucks
down
the
road
they're
actually
going
to
have
a
salt
academy
to
help
train.
B
It's
not
just
the
county
staff,
but
we
also
hire
a
lot
of
contractors.
I
don't
know
if
you
knew
that,
but
we
pay
a
lot
of
money
for
contractors
to
put
salt
down
for
us
and
also
to
educate
the
residents
of
baltimore
county,
but
they're
requiring
us
to
do
this
now
as
part
of
our
to
reduce
pollutants.
B
These
are
the
four
things
that
we
get
our
most
credit
for:
extreme
restoration,
shoreline
stabilization
again
we
have
200
miles
of
shoreline,
taking
stormwater
management
facilities,
older
ones
and
upgrading
them
with
new
best
management
practices
and,
of
course,
reforestation
and
planting
trees,
get
lots
of
credit
for
that.
B
So
each
one
of
those
I'll
go
through
real
quickly,
our
stream
restoration
program.
We
have
one
of
the
best
stream
nationally
recognized
stream,
restoration
programs,
rob
ryan
our
manager
for
our
watershed.
Restoration
group
runs
that
and
there's
lots
of
things
you
can
do
as
part
of
a
stream
restoration
project,
but
we
get
credit
per
linear
foot
of
stream
restored.
B
These
projects
are
very
expensive.
Excuse
me
sometimes
taking
three
or
four
or
five
years
to
plan.
We
have
to
go
out
and
find
a
project.
B
We
have
to
design
the
project
or
have
a
consultant
design
a
project
we
have
to
get
plans,
we
have
to
get
permits,
then
we
have
to
go,
build
it
and
that
could
take
three
or
four
years
and
you
can't
always
collect
all
the
money
in
one
year
for
that
some
of
these
projects
might
be
five
million
dollars.
So,
as
you'll
see
later
we
put
a
little
bit
of
money
from
our
capital
budget
every
year
towards
a
project.
B
B
These
are
just
show
you
some
examples
of
places
in
the
county
where
we
have
done
stream
restoration
projects,
but
that's
our
our
biggest
cost
that
we
spend
money
on
in
the
capital
program.
We
get
the
most
bang
for
the
buck
in
terms
of
credits,
shoreline
stabilization
projects
again
200
miles
of
shoreline
have
to
address
not
just
pollution
in
our
streams
and
rivers,
but
also
in
the
bay.
B
So
this
is
a
good
one
to
reduce
nitrogen
in
the
bay
the
plants.
What
I
should
do
is
I've
included
a
picture
of
what
it
looks
like
before.
Where,
because
of
wind
action
and
wave
action,
you
might
have
a
10
foot
cliff
on
the
edge
of
the
shore.
We
take
that
we
level
it
out.
We
go
out
into
the
water,
we
make
it
the
slope
gentler.
B
B
We
do
a
whole
continuum
here
of
different
kinds
of
projects
along
the
shoreline,
but
it's
a
really
great
way
to
reduce
nitrogen
levels,
especially
in
the
bay
again,
a
picture
to
show
you
some
of
the
places
where
we
actually
do
these
things.
On
the
east
side
of
baltimore
county,
we
take
stormwater
management
facilities
and
we
upgrade
them
with
newer
technology.
B
Today
we
have
environmental
site
design
plans
where
we're
specifically
tailoring
certain
pollutants.
We
go
back
to
ponds
that
we
already
own
and
we
change
the
technology
and
the
way
we
treat
the
water
inside
so
wait.
We
get
a
lot
of
bang
for
the
buck
on
that
one.
We
we
delay
the
water
we
put
plants
in
and
we
put
filtering
systems
in
the
ponds,
but
this
is
a
great
way.
We
do
this.
Also,
my
staff
does
this
and
designs
a
lot
of
these
themselves.
B
I
have
engineers
and
natural
resource
specialists
that
do
this,
so
it's
much
cheaper
than
hiring
a
consultant
to
do
it,
something
that
might
cost
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
design
and
take
a
year
to
design.
If
I
hire
a
consultant,
my
staff
can
do
in
a
matter
of
months
and
then
go
out
and
actually
build
it
much
much
cheaper,
here's
places
where
we've
gone
back
and
retrofitted
ponds
throughout
the
county
and,
of
course,
planting
trees
is
a
great
way
to
reduce
pollution,
and
we
get
a
lot
of
credit
for
this
again.
B
We
have
a
rural
reforestation
program.
We
have
a
urban
reforestation
program.
We
have
a
forest
conservation
program
here,
I'm
showing
you
something
called
operation
retreat,
which
is
a
new
program
that
we
came
up
with
this
year
at
the
urging
of
the
county
executive
and
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
in
a
minute
when
we
talk
about
some
equity,
but
it
was
a
program
that
literally
the
county
executive
sent
me
some
articles
when
he
was
reading
online.
B
He
reads
a
lot
online,
so
he
sent
me
some
articles
that
he
was
reading
about
what
they
were
doing
in
pittsburgh
and
what
they
were
doing
in
detroit
going
back
in
and
planting
trees
and
old,
urbanized
areas
and
said:
do
you
think
we
could
do
something
like
this
and
we
we
picked
up
and
we
ran
with
it
and
we
planted
our
first
trees
last
november,
I
tell
you
that,
because
we
use
capital
dollars
to
do
that,
so
it's
part
of
our
capital
program,
we're
also
are
getting
1.5
million
dollars
in
federal
funds
to
help
with
that
program.
B
Again,
these
are
the
different
drivers
and
documents
that
we
use
the
ms4
permit
the
phase
three
chesapeake
bay
model
whip,
the
tmdl
implementation
plans
that
we
prepare
for
those
dmdls
and
then
swaps
swaps
are
small
watershed
action
plans
where,
when
we
have
a
poli,
we
go
out
to
the
community
and
we
involve
our
watershed
groups.
We
involve
community
members
to
say
what
can
we
do
in
your
neighborhood
in
your
small
watershed
to
improve
the
quality
of
the
environment
and
we
get
buy-in
from
the
citizens.
B
We
think
that's
very
important
to
have
citizens
involved
to
have
watershed
groups
involved,
so
we
create
these
small
watershed
action
plans
and
we're
actually
going
back
now.
Some
of
them
are
13
years
old
and
redoing
them
and
updating
them
with
the
community.
Now
this
is
a
you
know:
the
meeting,
the
potatoes
of
a
five
or
six
year
capital
program,
really
just
to
show
you
that
we
put
money
in
each
of
these
programs
every
year
and
each
project,
and
we
can't
really
accumulate
all
the
money
we
need
in
one
year
across
the
bottom
there.
B
On
the
far
left
allotted
funding,
we
have
76
million
dollars
right
now
already
allotted
towards
projects
that
we
plan
on
doing
over
the
next
six
years
right
there
in
the
fy
next
one
over
fy
22
needs
the
budget
year,
we're
in
right.
Now
it's
about
22
million
dollars
that
we're
spending
this
year
next
year
same
thing:
we've
already
planned.
We
know
we're
going
to
need
at
least
another
22
million
25
million
and
24.
B
we've
already
thought
of
enough
projects
in
25
that
we
anticipate
we'll
need
19,
more
additional
million
and
26
20..
So
we're
planning
that
far
ahead
with
these
projects,
where
does
that
money
come
from
comes
from
a
combination
of
waterway
improvement,
bonds,
metropolitan
district
bonds,
some
from
the
general
fund
and
also
some
from
grants.
B
Mr
lafferty
asked
us-
I
guess
last
year
or
two
years
ago
about
resiliency
and
sustainability,
and
so
we
made
this
matrix
to
show
you
the
types
of
projects
we
do
across
the
top
and
then
issues
related
to
resiliency
and
sustainability
down
the
left
side,
to
show
you
that
most
of
our
projects,
that's
what
we
do
we're
in
the
business
of
building
projects
that
help
with
resiliency
and
sustainability.
B
So
this
was
just
a
quick
version
rather
than
going
project
by
project.
B
This
is
our
operation
retreat
program
that
was,
I
was
telling
you
about.
It's
really
a
study
that
we
did
using
gis
analysis
of
tree
canopy
coverage
versus
income
level
and
trying
to
find
people
with
lower
income
levels
that
didn't
have
tree.
There's
a
lot
of
correlations,
I'll
start
with
between
tree
canopy
coverage
and
other
things
that
you
can
find
these
days
with
the
internet
and
all
the
data.
That's
on
the
internet.
B
One
of
the
things
you
see
is
people
that
have
higher
incomes
have
higher
tree
canopy
coverage
in
their
neighborhoods
and
higher
tree.
Canopy
coverage
can
also
be
correlated
with
health
benefits,
so
things
like
reduced
asthma,
higher
tree
canopy
coverage,
less
emergency
room
visits
less
ozone
lower
summer
time,
ambient
air
temperatures
with
higher
tree
canopy
coverages.
B
B
B
We
actually
used
census
block
data
to
look
at
this
and
took
it
down
to
that
level
to
see
where
the
trees
are
where
the
canopy
coverage
is
and
and
figured
out
which
neighborhoods
do.
We
need
to
go
to
what
were
the
lowest,
the
neighborhoods
that
had
the
lowest
correlations
and
you
can
see
them
here
in
purple
all
around
baltimore
county.
B
We
did
a
really
good
analysis
and
we
came
up
with
a
32
census,
block
groups
with
the
lowest
correlation
between
income
and
canopy
coverage
and
we're
going
to
go
to
those
neighborhoods
and
we're
going
to
plant
trees,
and
so
we
started.
As
I
said
in
november
of
last
year-
and
we
went
you
know
the
first
of
the
32.
We
noticed
that
some
are
very
close
to
each
other.
In
this
case
we
went
to
west
inverness
in
the
dundalk
area
of
baltimore
county
and
we
planted
almost
300
trees.
B
There
were
four
different
four
of
those
census.
Block
groups
are
all
sort
of
very
close
to
west
inverness,
so
we
did
those
first
four
all
together
and
it
wasn't
just
us
it
was
rec
and
parks.
It
was
property
management,
it
was
the
planning
office
we
used
pai
or
the
county's
landscape.
Architect,
jim
herman
is
in
pai.
It
was
public
works,
the
county's
county.
We
have
an
arborist
saul
pass,
he
works
in
public
works.
B
We
got
all
these
people
together
and
we
went
door
to
door,
we
put
door
hangers
up,
we
talked
to
the
community
members.
We
put
advertisements
out
to
find
people
that
would
be
interested
in
getting
trees.
We
work
with
the
local
community
associations,
we
planted
298
trees
and
they're
again
inched
inch
and
a
half
caliber
5
to
7
feet
tall,
and
this
is
johnny
o.
B
This
is
the
first
day,
that's
the
first
tree
that
we
planted
and
we
plan
on
continuing
this
program
until
we've
done
all
of
those
32
neighborhoods
and
so
we're
planning
on
four
more
in
the
spring.
As
I
said,
we
originally
had
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
capital
money,
we're
getting
1.5
million
of
arp
american
rescue
plan
federal
money
and
when
we're
done
with
that,
we'll
come
back
and
ask
for
more
capital
money.
But
this
is
an
equity
program
just
to
show
you.
B
I
know
that
just
to
show
you
the
things
that
we
do
aren't
just
we're
doing
them
we're
in
this
neighborhood,
because
these
are
the
people
that
can
least
afford
to
do
anything
about
their
plate
and
their
canopy
coverage
and
so
we're
in
there
trying
to
help
them.
So
this
is
a
program
that
we
started
this
year
with
our
capital
dollars
and
we
hope
to
continue
it
in
the
future.
I
think
that's
probably
it
for
me.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
them.
C
And-
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
this
brings
me
back
to
the
very
beginning
of
my
teaching
career,
which
started
at
inverness
elementary
in
19,
okay,
and
so
it's
really
this
is,
I
couldn't
I
have
to
tell
you.
It
almost
makes
me
teary-eyed,
but
because
of
social
media,
I
still
keep
in
contact
with
some
of
my
students
from
west
inverness,
who
are
all
very,
very
successful
adults,
and
to
see
you
use
this.
You
know
in
a
very
thoughtful
data-driven,
equitable
way,
cleaning
these
trees.
B
Effort,
thank
you
very
much
and
that's
exactly
you
know
the
county
executive.
We
we
have
a
data
driven
county
and
that's
what
we
did
and
we
did
a
great
analysis
and
came
up
with
it
and
actually
he's
in
his
front
yard.
Planting
a
tree
and
the
woman
who
owns
the
house
when
johnny
went
up
to
introduce
himself.
She
said.
Oh,
I
know
you.
I
remember
you
when
you
were
a
little
kid
yeah
yeah.
B
So
it's
it's.
What
it
becomes
is
hyper
local
right,
so
you
can't
just
walk
into
some
neighborhood
and
start
planting
trees.
You
have
to
get
buy-in
from
the
community.
You
get
the
community
association,
the
watershed
groups,
it's
really
it's
a
great
program.
It
really
is.
We
had
a
really
good
time
and
it's
very
rewarding.
C
A
D
B
This
particular
case,
yes,
most
of
the
trees,
were
on
private
residences.
We
also
planted
at
the
rec
center
we
planted
on
some
reckon
parks,
property,
some
of
them,
the
not
every
neighborhood
is
amenable
to
this.
You
have
all
kinds
of
obstacles:
there's
a
there's,
also
a
correlation
between
income
level
and
lot
size.
B
I
probably
have
to
go
down
to
the
street
and
put
it
in
a
tree
well,
but
if
we
can
get
like
the
second
group
that
we're
doing
in
the
spring
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
again,
it's
income
level,
they
don't
live,
not
everybody
lives
in
a
townhouse
or
a
row
house
apartments
right,
so
some
of
them
are
areas
where
there's
nothing
but
apartment
units.
So
we're
approaching
the
apartment
owners
and
we're
planting
along
the
streets.
B
We
also
any
again
any
reckon
parks
or
public
lands
that
we
can
get
to
we're
we're
more
than
happy
to
do
that,
we're
trying
to
plant
them
as
street
trees
to
get
shade
down
along
the
sidewalks
in
the
streets.
However,
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
go
plant
in
somebody's
backyard.
There
just
isn't
room,
usually.
A
Thank
you.
I
mean
I
asked
I've
been
involved
in
greening
work
in
dundalk
for
a
while.
That's
often
been
the
challenge
of
finding
people
who
would
be
willing
to
plant
trees
right.
But
the
other
question
then,
is,
are
you
know?
Typically,
when
you
plant
trees,
you've
got
the
steaks
you've,
you
wrapped
the
you
know
the
mowing
guard
etc,
but
then
are
the
the
property
owners
responsible
for
taking
that
down?
At
some
point
you
know
I've.
B
That's
when
the
state
actually
says
it
might
convert
to
a
forest
situation
if
I'm
planting,
if
I'm
planting
five
acres
after
10
years,
if
the
trees
are
still
alive,
they'll
typically
become
a
forest.
So
that's
our
goal,
whether
it's
a
street
tree
or
whether
it's
a
larger
planting
that
we
do
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
I've
asked
for
extra
people
for
a
maintenance
program
in
our
forestry
section
right
now.
We
spot
check
all
the
trees
that
we
plant
larger
far
larger
plantings,
come
with
a
three-year
guarantee.
B
F
Yeah,
mr
lincoln,
thank
you
so
much.
This
was
a
wonderful
presentation.
My
name
is
nancy
hafford
and
I'm
in
the
towson
area
and
we're
it's
great
because
we
have
a
lot
of
businesses
here.
But
I've
noticed
when
you
talk
about
salt
they're
dumping
it
all
over
the
sidewalks.
B
Absolutely
I
don't
know
if
I
can
go,
can
I
go
back?
Let's
see,
can
I
get
to
my
salt
slide,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we're
hoping
to
do
and
a
requirement
in
our
permit
we're
going
to
have
a
salt
academy
to
train
the
staff,
but
also
there
at
the
bottom,
salt
management
outreach
to
residents
and
businesses
to
say
what
seems
appropriate.
B
What
do
you
do?
What
do
you?
Where
do
you
store
it?
When
you're
done
a
lot
of
businesses,
they
do
their
parking
lots
and
if
they
have
extra
salt,
they
put
it
over
in
the
corner
for
the
next
snowstorm.
Sometimes
they'll
cover
it
over.
Sometimes
they
don't
so
it's
yes,
it's
a
package
of
citizens,
businesses
and
county
employees
and
and
teaching
everybody
getting
everybody
on
the
same
page,
absolutely
and.
F
B
It's
a
great
question:
I
don't
have
a
good
answer
for
you.
We
could
talk
to
our
friends
in
public
works,
I'm
sure
there's
something
that
could
be
done.
B
D
Last
saturday,
I
had
an
occasion
to
drive
through
newark
a
lot
of
rural
areas
in
york,
county
pennsylvania,
where
they
do
not
use
salt
on
these
slowly,
smaller
roads
where
you're,
traveling,
20
or
30
miles
an
hour
and
and
people
still
get
to
and
from
where
they
have
to
go.
It
bothers
me
when
I
see
even
just
the
hit
of
a
little
bit
of
snow,
that
all
these
little
side
roads
are
being
salted.
I
think
this
is
a
waste
of
salt
and
environment.
B
I
totally
agree
with
you
and
it's
a
there's,
a
balance
between
public
safety.
That's
always
the
issue
right
public
safety,
and
you
know
what
do
other
states
do?
What
does
ohio
do?
What
does
pennsylvania
do?
You
know
what
do
they
do
in
northern
areas?
They
just
drive
on
it
right,
yeah,
some
places
use
sand.
You
get
to
the
top
of
the
hill
and
they'll
have
a
sandbox
there's
all
kinds
of
different
ways
to
go
about
it
and
before
they.
G
Correct,
mr
likens,
this
is
katie
pinero,
I'm
a
I
was
living
in
the
city
and
now
I'm
back
in
the
county,
and
it
is
it
the
reason
that
it
seems
that
there
is
so
much
excessive
salt
still
on
the
roads.
Is
that
because
the
storm
this
last
few
storms
have
under
performed,
so
you
put
more
down
expecting
more
more
snow
and
it
just
didn't
come.
B
A
I
Sorry
about
that,
can
you
go
back
a
little
bit
and
tell
us
how
this
urban
soil
decomposition
decomposition
will
be
achieved.
B
B
You
know
something
where
people
been
running
back
and
forth
under
for
years,
and
so
all
you
have
is
just
trees
and
there's
dirt,
there's
nothing
under
it.
So
if
you
develop
a
program
where
you're
not
going
in
and
taking
a
bear
land
and
planting
the
trees,
but
you've
already
got
the
trees,
you
want
to
put
the
understory
layers
in
you
can
go
in
and
actually
dig
up
the
soil.
B
B
If
somebody
comes
in
and
says
hey,
I
I
want
to
go
plant,
they
have
a
mitigation
requirement
to
me
and
they
have
to
restore
certain
have
to
plant
a
certain
amount
of
forest.
I
usually
want
new
forest,
but
in
some
situations
they
come
in
and
say
wait
a
minute.
We've
got
forest
here,
it's
just
you
know
it's
terrible.
It's
compacted!
It's
you
know.
Can
I
get
credit
for
going
in
and
fixing
it
up
and
that's
what
that
is.
B
A
Not
hearing
any,
we.
B
J
Good
evening,
chairman
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
having
me
this
evening.
I
will
go
through
our
capital
plan
for
fy23
this
evening.
It
will
not
be
as
entertaining
as
mr
likens
as
I
do
not
have
his
lovely
photos
as
he
does.
I
will
tell
you,
though,
that
I
have
been
with
the
department
since
1999
in
1987.
I
was
in
high
school,
so
that
being
said,
I
do
represent
the
230
men
and
women
of
this
department
that
do
in
their
own
way
serve
and
protect
this
county.
J
J
No
problem
so
steve:
if
you
go
to
the
small
menu
bar
to
the
left
side
of
the
powerpoint,
you
will
see
a
magnifying
plus
and
minus
just
left
of
it.
If
you
hover
your
mouse
over
it
and
you
can
zoom
in
that
way,.
J
J
These
crms
work
close
with
the
agencies
and
they
gather
information
on
upcoming
mandates,
their
strategic
initiatives
that
may
be
fed
down
from
the
executive
or
from
their
own
agencies
inside
and
whatever
their
agency
goals
may
be.
J
We
take
these
requirements
and
these
requests
and
we
build
what's
called
an
intake
form
with
each
of
these
agency
project
requests
and
we
are,
and
then
we
vet
them
with
the
agencies
and
the
crms
to
prevent
any
overlaps
from
one
agency
to
another,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
23
different
agencies,
sometimes
there
are
duplicate
initiatives
coming
from
more
than
one
agency.
J
This
is
where
we
work
together
to
put
in
place
enterprise
solutions.
Overall
projects
are
then
added
to
the
ite
project
portfolio
they're
balanced
on
whether
it
is
a
mandate.
It's
strategic
goal
alignment
priority
within
the
agency
and
then
overall
level
of
effort
which
includes
resourcing
and
funding.
These
are
then
reviewed
with
the
administrative
and
executive
teams
and
then
once
approved
by
the
administration
or
the
executive
team
to
move
forward.
Funding
is
obtained
for
each
it
project
and
initiative.
J
We
do
work
with
multiple
funding
sources,
including
the
equipment,
finance
package,
metro
funding,
the
police
asset
for
future
funds
and
also
what
is
called
our
tech
fund,
which
is
enhanced
productivity
through
technology
moving
into
our
project
portfolio,
the
previously
funded
projects
that
I'd
like
to
review
with
each
of
you.
Some
of
these
I've
actually
put
in
order
of
what
I
would
call
importance.
J
As
you
can
imagine,
cyber
security
has
become
the
number
one
thing
on
the
forefront
for
almost
every
I.t
agency,
whether
public
or
private,
as
we
have
dealt
with
and
seen
and
been
impacted
by
ransomware
that
has
affected
our
baltimore
county
public
school
systems.
We've
seen
it
affect
the
city,
the
gbmc
hospital
and
then
recently
the
maryland
department
of
health,
which
also
affected
us
in
operations.
J
We
have
worked
aggressively
to
institute
new
enterprise.
I
guess
best
of
breed
cyber
security
initiatives
and
technologies
throughout
the
county.
We
take
cyber
security
very
seriously
here
in
the
county.
We
train
each
of
our
employees.
It
is
a
mandatory
training
that
each
employee
must
go
through
monthly
if
they
miss
a
set
number
of
training
sessions,
they
are
notified
and
they
do
not
complete
that
within
x
number
of
days,
their
accounts
are
actually
locked
and
they're
not
able
to
work
until
they
complete
those.
J
I
have
explained
to
the
county
executive
many
times
whether
it
is
you
know
in
my
tenure
here
at
the
county
or
in
future
years
upcoming
that
you
know
it
is
not.
If
you
will
ever
get
hit
by
a
ransomware
or
any
type
of
attack,
it
is
when,
and
it
is
how
you
react
to
that
attack
and
how
quickly
you
can
respond
and
mitigate
and
come
back
to
operations.
That
is
important.
J
So
that
is
something
that
we're
focusing
on
within
the
department
and
working
with
each
of
our
agencies
to
work
on
those
business
impact
assessments
and
invest
in
technologies
that
help
us
return
critical
operations.
First
next
is
probably
one
of
our
largest
projects,
and
I
say
that
not
just
fiscally,
but
also
in
the
amount
of
effort
and
resource.
This
is
what
I
call
a
countywide
project.
This
project
is
requiring
resources
from
every
single
agency.
J
We
are
replacing
our
enterprise
resource
planning,
which
is
basically
our
hr
and
financial
systems,
with
one
of
the
top
of
the
line
best
of
breed
systems
that
is
utilized
by
fortune
fortune
50
fortune
500
companies
and
its
work
day.
Several
of
you
have
probably
heard
of
workday.
This
has
been
a
two-year
project
that
we
are
going
live
in
july.
First,
the
beginning
of
fiscal
year
2023..
J
J
The
second
project
that
has
recently
just
gone,
live
for
first
phase,
is
our
land
use
regulatory
automation
system
for
online
permitting
and
inspections?
J
Just
to
put
you
into
some
perspective
of
what
we
used
to
call
the
shoots
and
ladders
game
of
getting
permits
here
in
baltimore
county,
where
you
had
to
walk
into
the
county
office
building,
fill
out
your
application
for
a
permit,
take
that
permit
application
across
the
street
to
the
office
of
budget
and
finance
cash
sharing,
section
pay
for
that
application.
J
Come
back
across
the
street
with
your
receipt
and
then
begin
your
application
process.
We
were
on
a
mainframe
system
with,
I
would
call
it.
I
guess,
integrated
manual
processes,
along
with
that
mainframe
system
for
10
037
days.
That
is
the
length
of
the
building
permitting
application
that
was
running
on
our
mainframe.
We
have
now
been
online
live
with
our
full,
permitting
application
system
for
90
days.
We
actually
have
increased
the
intake
of
number
of
applications
coming
in
by
almost
50
percent.
The
first
couple
months
were
rough,
as
you
can
imagine.
J
10
037
days
with
manual
processes
and
mainframe
processes
had
a
large
learning
curve,
not
only
for
internal
resources,
but
also
for
those
applying
for
these
permits.
We
have
caught
up
to
speed
on
all
of
our
trade
licensing
for
gas,
electric
and
plumbing,
and
we
are
building
and
improving
our
processes
for
building
permits.
This
will
give
a
new
and
better
experience
for
whether
it
is
constituents
or
developers
or
contractors
applying
for
permits
and
give
transparency
to
each
of
their
permanent
applications
where
they
are
in
the
process.
J
We
have
completed
phase
one
and
there
are
seven
subsequent
phases
to
come.
We
are
learning
as
we
go
and
we
will
basically
automate
every
single
process
that
we
can
throughout
land
regulatory,
our
land
use
regulatory
system,
the
next
investment
that
we
currently
have
and
we've
had
for
several
years,
which
stemmed
from
a
b
top,
which
was
a
broadband
technologies,
opportunity
program
that
was
put
out
in
2014
by
president
obama.
Some
of
you
may
remember
that
eight
large
jurisdictions
in
maryland,
central
maryland
and
the
state
of
maryland
went
together
for
a
one
maryland
broadband
opportunity
program.
J
We
were
awarded
115
million
dollars
to
begin
building
out
public
county-wide
and
statewide
fiber
infrastructure.
J
J
Throughout
the
years
we
have
seen
net
savings
of
two
million
dollars
a
year
in
operational
costs
running
this
and
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
2023
we're
looking
for
annual
revenues
of
about
four
million
dollars.
So
this
is
a
a
great
investment
for
us,
we're
able
to
deliver
high-speed
internet
to
all
of
our
schools,
and
it
has
been
a.
I
guess
what
I
would
call
one
of
the
best
return
on
investment
capital
projects
that
we've
had,
especially
within
it.
J
K
J
J
Okay,
like
I
said
it's
exciting,
so
the
next
project
for
our
previously
funded,
is
to
replace
our
emr,
which
is
our
enterprise
medical
record
system,
our
public
health
record
system.
We
have
spent
170
000
a
day
that
money
was
invested
in
bringing
in
a
contractor
to
do
requirement
gathering
with
the
department
of
health,
as
we
move
into
this
very
large
initiative
in
fy
23,
replacing
our
health
system.
J
J
The
next
project
that
you'll
see
is
our
enterprise
asset
management
system,
which
is
heavily
used
by
our
public
works,
divisions
and
other,
I
guess
correlating
agencies.
The
first
one
that
went
live
was
our
solid
waste
program
management
program
and
we
are
currently
active
in
our
highways
implementation.
J
J
The
next
list,
for
previously
funded
projects,
is
for
the
department,
baltimore
county's
department
of
aging.
We
have
probably
the
largest.
I
believe
it
is
one
of
the
largest
senior
populations
on
the
east
coast,
with
over
20
percent
of
our
residents
at
age,
65
or
plus,
our
department
of
aging
was
using
manual
processes
to
manage
case
work
for
our
seniors.
We
implemented
a
new
technology
for
them
to
better
facilitate
the
case,
management
and
workflows.
J
J
So
again,
a
lot
of
these.
I
don't
want
to
repeat
what
they
are,
but
you
will
see
that
most
of
these
are
the
same
projects
that
you,
you
will
see
across
the
board
for
cyber
security
that
we
reviewed
continued
efforts
into
the
workday
project
as
we
have
future
phases
after
we
go
live
with
hr
financials
those
are
recruiting.
J
We
also
have
a
learning
management
system
that
we'll
be
implementing
along.
That
is
part
of
this
workday
system.
As
I
stated,
we
have
phases
two
through
eight
to
continue
for
the
land
use
regulatory.
Then
our
broadband
build
out
continues
for
the
next
couple
of
years,
as
we
continue
to
build
out
throughout
the
counties.
We
have
several
schools
that
we're
trying
to
reach
we've
hit
about
150
of
165
schools.
The
remaining
15
schools
are
what
I
would
call
long
haul
schools,
but
just
because
they
are
in
specific
geographic
locations.
J
The
health
record
system
that
we
already
discussed
is
going
to
be
funded
for
three
years
for
the
next
two
years.
I'm
sorry
current
fi,
22
and
nfi
23..
Then
we
always
put
a
placeholder
in
for
areas
that
we
know
that
we're
going
to
have
demand
public
safety
projects
come
in
each
year.
They'll
come
from
the
chief
over
to
the
county
executive
or
the
county
administrator.
J
They
will
get
approved
and
then
obviously
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
I.t
funding
available
for
those
projects.
One
of
the
other
large
replacement
systems
is
our
jail.
Management
system
was
implemented
in
2007.
I
was
actually
a
network
engineer
at
that
time.
Implementing
that
jail
management
system.
Just
so
you're
aware
it
has
been
upgraded.
It
has
had
its
security
patches
technology
upgrades
but
functionally.
J
It
is
time
to
replace
the
system
it's
15
years
in
the
making,
and
finally,
we
are
going
to
be
doing
a
phone
replacement,
an
upgrade
for
our
psap
psap.
Is
your
public
safety
answering
point
basically
911
center?
Next
one
was
one
of
those
you
get
thrown
over
the
fence
every
once
in
a
while,
our
national
fire,
instant
reporting
system,
otherwise
known
as
enfers
the
owner
of
that
product
that
we've
been
with
for
quite
a
while
and
is
actually
a
national
leader
in
this
product,
is
moving
on
from
this
product
and
sunsetting
it.
J
J
J
We
should
be
sunsetting
our
mainframe
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
and
we
will
be
off
of
a
mainframe
permanently
in
baltimore
county.
This
is
a
large
technology
move
for
us.
It
is
also
a
large
cost
savings
and
those
investments
can
be
put
into
further
technologies,
and
then
the
office
of
information
technology
also
always
has,
within
its
text
fund
request
a
one
million
dollar
contingency
again
for
executive
decisions,
mandates
and
things
that
come
in
that
were
unfunded.
J
Unfortunately,
since
we
have
to
plan
a
year
and
ahead,
as
you
can
imagine,
things
happen
during
a
year
and
there
are
times
that
we
have
to
pick
up
unplanned
projects
and
then
any
questions
that
you
may
have
and
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
have
pictures
of
trees,
rivers,
lakes
next
year.
I
will
work
on
that
or
pictures
of
laptops
or
you
know,
whatever
you
want
to
say,
rob.
F
I
I
see
you
know
you're,
making
these
improvements
to
streamline
permits
and
inspections,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
something
in
place
to
streamline
access
for
citizens
that
are
following
these
developments
right
now.
If
you
want
to
know
what
a
hearing
is,
you've
got
to
go
on
the
website,
you
know
and
see
when
the
hearing's
going
to
be
for
this
special
exception
or
that
development
like
if
I
go
on
google,
and
I
want
to
know
about
what
anything
that
comes
up
for
a
particular
keyword.
I
You
know
that
comes
into
my
inbox.
Is
there
anything
you
have
on
the
citizen
side
to
keep
them
abreast
of
projects
that
they're
interested
in
hearing
about
without
having
to
physically
go
go
on
the
website
and
mine
that
out
themselves?
Yes,.
J
Ma'am,
this
was
actually
the
discussion
that
we
had
with
our
department
of
government
reform
and
strategic
initiatives,
and
we
were
looking
at
citizen
engagement
tools
and
we
are
going
to
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
those
again.
Unfortunately,
obviously
a
lot
of
the
resources
got
to
you
know,
I
guess
you
know
moved
and,
and-
and
you
know
over
into
fighting
covid.
In
fact,
it
was
very
involved
in
that
as
well.
So
that
is
something
that
we
had
on
our
project.
I
guess
hold
list,
and
it
is
something
that
elizabeth
sacks.
J
I
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
her
who's,
the
director
of
government
reform
strategy
conditions
has
as
a
high
priority
in
her
area
as
well,
and
it's
for
overall
civic
engagement.
So
obviously
it's
for
the
ability
to
easily
track
and
see
when
you
know
town
halls
or
things
like
that
are
but
also
to
be
able
to
comment-
and
you
know,
give
civic
input
on
against
county
initiatives
as
well.
I
J
I'll
talk
to
my
web
team
about
that
we
did
have
the
list
serve
and
we
still
do
have
a
list
serve
for
people
to
sign
up
for
email.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
kind
of
gotten
for
some
reason
hidden
on
the
website,
but
that
list
serve
was
still
in
effect.
But
I
will
check
on
that
for
you.
Thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am.
E
Scott,
I
don't
have
a
question.
I
just
have
a
comment
for
the
benefit
of
the
board.
E
We
ramped
up
and-
and
those
of
you
who
are
on
the
board
last
year,
may
recall
his
commentary
about
how
many
people
were
working
virtually
in
you
know,
march
15th
of
2020,
and
how
many
were
working
virtually
march
16th
of
2020
and
how
his
agency
ramped
up
to
service,
not
only
us
as
employees
but
the
county,
because
all
of
you
who
are
sitting
at
home
and
able
to
access
this
meeting
are
reflective
of
what
we've
seen
across
the
entire
county.
Is
that
so
many
more
people
want
to
work
work
virtually.
E
They
want
to
communicate
with
agencies
virtually
and
participate
like
tonight.
Virtually,
and
that's
just
one
element
of
how
really
professional
and
dramatic
his
team
has
been
able
to.
You
know:
trans
transform
the
way
the
county
government
functions,
and
I
I
don't
think
we
can
send
rob
enough
kudos
for
making
this
really
work.
Well.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
It
was
a
collective
effort
by
everyone
within
the
county
to
keep
county
services
moving
forward
throughout
the
pandemic,
but
but
steve's
right
it
has
changed
the
way
the
county
government
is
now
going
to
continue
to
work
with
its
constituents
and
the
county
executive,
and
I
met
during
our
budget
meetings
and
we're
taking
a
look
at
a
fair
investment
in
digitization
of
all
services
throughout
county
government,
and
you
know
it's
not
a
light
switch
that
we
can
turn
overnight,
we're
not
a
small
county.
J
You
know,
as
I
tell
people
we're
an
aircraft
carrier
and
we
can't
turn
on
a
dime,
we're
a
very
large
county
and
obviously
to
take
a
look
at
security.
You
know
I
mean
the
one
thing
that
I
take
you
know
to
heart
is
not
only
the
security
of
county
data.
J
In
other
words,
you
know
the
you
know
the
data
that
we
hold,
but
also
of
our
constituents
data
I
mean
we
have
800
000,
plus
people
that
I
need
to
make
sure
are
protected,
and
I
I
see
what
the
fallout
can
be
when
you
know
people's
data
gets
breached.
So
I
appreciate
steve's
words,
but
it
again
you
know
it
was
something
that
I
really
do
think
and
I
really
do
wish
that
they
could
send
container
constituents
could
see
the
men
and
women
that
came
in
here
messed
up
day
in
day
out.
J
J
A
Our
final
presentations
are
from
the
department
of
planning
I'd
like
to
invite
miss
megan
benjamin
to
begin
the
presentation.
L
L
L
With
the
capital
funds
for
land
preservation,
we
are
working
towards
our
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
budget.
Some
are
funded
through
state
programs
and
sometimes
it's
a
combination
of
those
as
well
as
donations.
L
L
So
this
chart
shows
the
proportion
of
acres
that
we
have
protected
through
the
different
programs,
the
largest
dark,
green
slice
of
the
pie.
There
is
the
maryland
agricultural
land
preservation
foundation
where
we
have
about
37
of
our
acres
protected
in
that
program.
The
lighter
green
is
maryland.
Environmental
trust
primarily
donated
conservation,
easement
program
with
22
percent.
L
Then
next
is
rural
legacy
with
around
18
percent.
Our
county
ag
program
protects
about
nine
percent
of
our
total
acreage.
Local
land
trusts
individually
hold
about
eight
percent
and
then
our
development
cluster
easements
protect
about
six
percent.
So
I
think
it's
just
interesting
to
see
how
all
of
the
programs
work
together
and
really
are
vital
for
working
towards
our
overall
goal
and
the
next
line.
L
So
with
our
ag
preservation,
capital
funds,
the
go
towards
the
mouth
program,
we
have
a
lot
of
fantastic
properties
that
we
are
working
on.
We
had
four
easements
that
were
recorded
last
year
and
another
that
closed
and
is
just
pending,
recordation,
that
we
had
county
funds
contributing
towards
those
and
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
L
I
think
the
pictures
help
tell
the
best
story
here
so
that
you
can
see
those
farms
that
we
were
able
to
close
on
protecting.
Last
year.
We
had
some
really
nice
variation
in
size
and
production
type
and
we're
very
pleased
to
protect
one
of
the
few
remaining
dairy
farms
in
the
counties.
So
the
two
slides
on
the
bottom,
with
the
bright
blue
skies,
you
can
see
the
dairy
cows
there.
So
we're
really
happy
with
that
one
as
well
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
L
It's
always
a
priority
for
us
to
contribute
matching
funds
towards
the
mouth
program
with
our
agprez
funds.
The
county
contribution
and
matching
funds
to
the
mouth
program
are
matched
at
a
60
40
ratio
to
a
maximum
of
2
million.
In
matching
funds
we
can
receive
from
the
states
so
for
every
dollar.
So
we
get
back
1.50
for
every
dollar
that
we
contribute.
So
you
can
see
there.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
contribute
the
full
1.33
million
each
year
for
that
program
and
the
next
slide.
L
L
This
spring
we've
also
been
working
with
the
administration
to
design
a
new
land
preservation
sign
that
we
hope
to
unveil
soon,
and
we
think
that
it
will
highlight
these
programs
and
bring
awareness
and
serve
as
a
conversation
starter
for
potential
new
preservation,
candidates,
oftentimes
or,
I
would
venture
to
say,
the
majority
of
times.
The
best
outreach
is
landowners
talking
to
neighbors
and
other
landowners,
and
we
hope
this
will
help
start
some
conversations
there.
L
L
There's
someone
I
like
to
quote
often
that
she
I'll
paraphrase
she
says
that
once
land
is
subdivided
and
developed,
that's
essentially
the
last
crop
of
the
farm,
so
we're
always
working
against
the
conversion
rate
of
the
properties
that
we're
looking
to
preserve
and
these
funds
will
help
us,
like.
I
said,
to
accelerate
that
pace
and
on
to
the
next
slide
so
other
than
our
ag
press
category.
We
also
have
our
rural
legacy
budget
category.
L
These
funds
go
towards
protecting
lands
within
any
of
our
five
designated
rural
legacy
areas
in
the
county.
These
can
be
entirely
county
funded
and
held
easements,
or
they
could
go
towards
projects
coordinating
with
the
state
rural
legacy
program.
We
work
with
the
rural
legacy
area
sponsors
on
all
of
these
projects.
L
At
the
end
of
last
year,
we
had
our
first
county
rural
legacy
project
close
in
a
number
of
years
on
a
23-acre
farm
in
the
piney
run
rural
legacy
area,
and
we
have
three
other
projects
that
we
are
currently
active.
Moving
forward
in
the
piney
run
area
and
we
hope
to
have
another
soon
coming
along
in
the
long
green
rural
legacy
area.
L
Also
with
these
funds,
we
support
the
baltimore
county
land
trust
alliance,
which
is
an
umbrella
group
that
was
created
by
the
county
and
the
local
land,
trust
that
we
have
here
that
coordinates
with
the
multiple
land
trusts
and
at
the
administrative
functions
and
serves
an
important
role
in
doing
outreach
they
in
october
last
year,
we
had
an
outreach
event
that
they
put
together
inviting
landowners
to
come
out
to
hear
about
all
of
the
different
preservation
programs
to
help
to
educate,
bring
awareness
and
help
landowners
find
the
program
that
will
work
best
for
them
and
again
move
towards
our
shared
goals
for
preservation
and
the
next
slide.
L
H
Do
I
have
a
question
miss
benjamin?
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
If
I
recall
last
year
we
were
at,
do
you
recall
what
like
82
percent
of
our
goal
or
somewhere
in
there
and.
L
Yes,
so
la
so
in
the
calendar
year
2021
we
recorded,
I
think,
we're
still
around
the
same
percentage
as
we
were
last
year.
We
have
a
lot
more
farms
in
the
pipeline,
so
even
though
they
haven't
been
recorded,
they
are.
We
have
the
funds
ready,
they
have
they're,
lined
up
and
ready
to
go
we're
working
towards
them.
So
we've
only
made
a
small
drop
in
the
bucket
in
the
last
year,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
Sometimes
these
take
a
long
time
to
complete.
H
Yeah,
I'm
just
curious,
is
it
the?
It
seems
a
little
like
at
this
rate
we
might
get
there
in
20
years?
Is
it
an
opportunity
issue
or
is
it
a
budget
issue,
that's
kind
of
keeping
us
from
making
progress
towards
the
ultimate
goal.
L
L
L
And
we
want
to
make
sure
we
want
to
balance
bringing
in
acres
with
quality
acres
as
well.
So
I
think
we
are
funded
well
now
to
do
what
we
need
to
do,
we're
making
the
most
of
the
opportunities
we
have
before
us,
and
so
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
we
need
more
funds
than
we
have
than
we're,
showing
right
now,
and
also
I
will
mention
on
the
state
side.
L
The
funding
right
now
is
looking
very
good,
so
we
want
we
will.
We
want
to
use
all
of
that
funding
as
well.
So
I
don't
think
that
we
necessarily
need
any
additional
funding.
We
wanted
to
have
the
outreach
and
the
landowners
interested
and
working
with
us
to
find
the
program
that
works
for
them
and
and
to
get
them
protected.
H
L
M
M
It
just
concerns
me
that
so
much
of
our
land
is
being
preserved
forever,
and
you
know
we
don't
know
what
the
future
looks
like.
L
So
this
so
I
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
you
know
the
goal
for
the
80
000
acres
we
are.
This
is
targeted
in
the
rural
areas.
We
have
priority
preservation
areas
along
with
our
rural
legacy,
areas
where
these
programs
are
targeted.
So
it's
targeting
our
prime
agricultural
lands
and
resource
lands
and
part
of
the
reason
for
the
80
000
acre
target
was
based
on
being
able
to
maintain
a
viable
agricultural
economy
within
the
county.
So
that's
where
the
goal
comes
from
and
that's
what
we're
working
towards.
E
No,
no
sir,
mr
warren.
E
Each
one
acre
equals
640
one
square
mile
equals
640
acres,
so
you
have
to
do
640
acres
times,
598.
to
get
the
total
number
of
acres
in
the
county
and
then
take
that
80
000
from
that.
A
I
have,
I
am
curious:
do
we
coordinate
it
all
with
any
of
these
surrounding
counties
jurisdictions
so
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
preserve
force
that
may
be
overlapped
with
harper,
county
or
carroll
county
or
up
into
pennsylvania?
I
mean
is
that
taken
into
account
at
all.
L
So
we
have
so,
for
instance,
the
manor
rural
legacy
area
does
cross
county
boundaries.
So
there's
efforts
there.
You
know
on
both
sides
of
the
boundary
when
we
have
properties
that
come
in
to
apply
for
the
programs
that
we
administer.
L
Sometimes
you
know
they
may
straddle
county
boundaries,
and
so,
if
we're
working
with
the
mouth
program
with
those
properties,
we
landowners
have
the
option
to
either
donate
the
portion
on
the
other
side
of
the
county
and
or
if
it
would
be
a
priority
for
the
county
on
the
other
side
to
also
put
forward
that
part
of
the
property
towards
the
same
program.
They
could
do
that.
So
in
instances
where
we
have
properties
that
are
on
both
sides,
we
do
do
what
we
can
to
see
if
we
can
match
up
the
preservation.
A
L
Yeah
I
mean
just
for
especially
connected
to
the
mouth
program,
the
other
mouth,
administrators
and
the
other
counties
we
are
in
connection
with
them.
Yeah
thank.
I
L
It
is
primarily
a
commitment
not
to
development,
develop
it
it's
a
deed
of
conservation.
Easement,
that's
recorded,
so
there's
no
requirement
to
keep
it
in
agriculture,
but
essentially
it
is
maintaining
the
ability,
even
if
it's
not
actively
in
agriculture,
that
it
could
be
in
the
future,
because
we're
keeping
the
development
you've.
E
So
yeah,
let
me
thank
you,
scott
and
and
thank
you.
Let
me
echo
that
to
begin
with
that,
you
know
there
are
actually
two
capital
programs
that
are
housed
in
the
planning
department
and
you've
just
received
a
presentation
from
megan.
She
and
her
team
have
really
done
a
terrific
job
and
you
know
one
of
the
there.
There
are
a
couple
of
challenges
and
I
think
megan
responded
to
a
question
about
being
in
the
pipeline.
It's
either
opportunity
or
budget.
E
Excuse
me.
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
of
both
until
this.
This
administration
few
dollars
were
actually
budgeted
for
land
preservation
and
certainly
not
for
the
rural
legacy
component.
Secondly,
is
encouraging
more
and
more
owners
to
protect
their
land
and
put
it
in
easement.
E
We
have
land
trust,
alliances,
the
land,
trust
alliance
and
land
trust
organizations
that
have
worked
very
hard.
We
were
have
been
stymied
in
one
of
them.
The
coastal
rural
legacy
area
and
working
and
megan
and
her
team
have
been
working
very
hard
to
re-examine
that
and
make
it
a
much
more
competitive
program
to
bring
in
more
state
dollars.
So
we
can
preserve
more
land
around
the
coastal
area
and
therefore
better
protect
the
waterways
as
well.
E
It
is
a
the
county
executive,
as
megan
pointed
out.
You
know,
has
committed
an
increasing
amount
of
dollars
which
should
not
necessarily
make
the
work
easier,
because
you
still
have
to
work
with
the
the
property
owners
to
demonstrate
the
value
to
them,
but
it
gives
at
least
more
opportunities
to
to
do
so.
E
Current
community
plans
input
we
receive
from
communities
from
and
from
the
community
input
meeting
that
the
planning
board
had
last
october
and
from
the
different
agencies.
The
classification
does
not
include,
I
mean
also
does
include
specific
dedicated
funds
for
various
communities
and
various
initiatives
that
the
county
executive
has
put
into
the
budget.
So
martian
next
slide.
E
So
the
agency
mission
really
is
is
to
follow
the
policies
and
recommendations
of
the
master
plan,
as
well
as
the
other
plans
that
really
help
guide
where
the
county
is
going,
and
you
can
see
that
you
know
we
use
a
varied
set
of
policies
and
directives
to
help
us
guide.
Our
community
improvement
program,
master
plan,
2020
being
the
key,
the
baltimore
county
enterprise
strategic
plan
that
has
now
been
in
place
for
two
and
a
half
years.
E
Settled
back
in
2016,
we
also
have
sustainable
community
plans
that
have
been
adopted.
We
have
nine
of
those
and
then
also
the
designations
of
our
various
commercial
revitalization
districts.
Next
slide,
please
next
keep
keep
going
marcia
next
one.
Thank
you.
The
first
one
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
dundalk
heritage
trail
and
park.
E
A
part
of
the
project
has
already
been
undertaken,
however,
we've
gotten
to
a
point
where
there's
a
acquisition
challenge
that
we've
been
working
through
in
order
to
buy
a
piece
of
property
that
allows
us
to
continue
the
extension
of
the
roadway
and
also
then
to
build
park
land
along
that
that
new
extension
money
is
in
the
account
there's
no
new
money.
This
year
being
requested.
E
There
are
multiple
facets
to
this,
but
two
of
those
that
come
into
the
capital
budget
are
one
providing
funding
at
a
3
million
a
year,
a
level
for
for
a
decade
to
help
us
increase.
The
number
of
units
that
are
available
referred
to
in
the
agreement
is
hard
units
and
we're
obligated
to
provide
a
thousand
hard
units
over
this
decade
period
of
time.
E
We
are
now
into
year,
six
and
the
capital
budget
does
include
3
million
dollars
this
year.
Additionally,
however,
the
county
executives
committed
funding
out
of
our
federal
arpa
money.
The
american
recovery
and
planning
act
money
that
we've
received
committed,
16
million
dollars
in
order
to
stimulate
and
encourage
the
development
of
more
affordable
units.
E
E
Please
the
towson
road
project
and
any
of
you
have
come
into
towson
recently
and
nancy
overlooks
this
every
day
as
she
gets
up
and
looks
out,
her
window
towson
row
has
come
out
of
the
ground.
E
E
E
So,
on
a
broader,
is
this
the
next
one?
Okay,
so
in
a
broader
way,
you
can
see
these
specific
items
called
out,
and
I
want
to
focus
on
the
very
bottom
line:
the
county-wide
improvements
line,
which
in
fy
22
we
received
1.5
million
dollars
into
this
account,
and
it's
programmed
as
the
county
executive
is
committed
to
looking
out
into
24
and
to
26
to
dramatically
increase
the
amount
of
money
next
slide.
Please.
E
So
let
me
give
you
an
example
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
already
started
and
where
we've
started
to
invest
our
money,
the
county
executive
has
what
he's
called
the
essex
initiative.
E
This
is
a
shot
of
eastern
avenue
and
if
any
of
you
have
been
to
essex,
you
know
that
this
is
sort
of,
like
quote
the
main
street,
but
when
you
have
a
highway
running
through
a
main
street,
it
really
curtails
the
kind
of
investment
that
can
take
place
so
by
bringing
in
outside
experts
through
the
urban
land,
institute's,
local
baltimore
chapter.
We
hope
to
really
develop
a
more
long-range
plan
for
reinvesting
on
the
boulevard
and
to
see
what
we
could
do
to
reposition
some
of
these
businesses.
E
So
funds
out
of
this
county-wide
improvement
funds
are
being
used
not
only
to
fund
the
tap
this
technical
assistance
program
or
panel,
but
we
expect
to
use
it
subsequently
once
they
come
back
with
recommendations
next
slide.
Please
another
area
is
liberty.
Road
liberty,
road,
as
many
of
you
know,
is
a
very
long,
eight
mile
long
stretch
of
roadway
with
heavy
vehicular
traffic.
It
also
has
a
number
of
old
shopping
centers
that
are
running
into
disrepair.
E
E
They
demand
a
lot.
If
you
want
to
make
improvements
on
the
roadway,
they
expect
you
to
do
extensive
engineering
work
at
this
stage,
we're
really
looking
at
more
maintenance,
whether
it's
replacing
benches
and
trash
cans,
replanting
trees
or
just
other
improvements
to
make
sure
that
you
have
ada
accessibility,
better
mta
bus
shelters
and
the
kind
of
things
that
just
sort
of
make
it
a
more
comfortable
place.
E
One
of
the
elements
is
to
how
do
we
rethink
the
way
that
the
main
street
quoted
quote-unquote
again
of
reisterstown
road
functions,
and
so
funds
are
in
this
account
to
help
again
look
at
maintenance,
there's
a
lot
of
broken
benches,
a
lot
of
light
poles
that
are
no
longer
functional
other
needs
that
need
just
be
addressed
as
a
first
phase.
We
expect
this
actually
to
be
a
longer
term
investment,
because
we
can
only
take
on
so
many
of
these
different
initiatives
in
one
stretch
with
a
limited
amount
of
money.
E
E
And,
lastly,
the
issue
of
equity
plays
into
almost
all
of
the
decisions
that
we're
rendering
you
can
see
by
the
allocation
of
funds
when
we
look
at
east
towson
and
liberty
road
as
two
examples
that
those
communities
that
have
been
underserved
in
the
past
are
going
to
receive
a
lot
of
our
attention
going
forward.
E
We
have
encouraged
our
community
planners
to
work
closely
with
their
leaders
to
see
what
opportunities
there
are
for
additional
funding
so
that
we
can
continue
to
stimulate
and
maintain
vibrant
communities
in
the
county.
So
so
with
that.
Mr
chairman,
if
you
have
any
questions
happy
to
answer
them,.
A
Open
it

Quite
candidly,
the
owner
has
been
pretty
recalcitrant,
and
I
know
the
county
executive
is
deeply
committed
to
trying
to
make
this
work
and
has
been
in
touch
with
those
who
can
hopefully
sway
the
owner
without
our
need
to
take
more
dramatic
actions.
And-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
more
history
to
it-
that
you
could
share.

I
would
