A
I
want
to
note
that
while
there
may
be
community
members
and
attendants
of
tonight's
meeting,
this
meeting
has
not
been
designed
to
accept
comments
from
citizens.
The
planning
board
held
a
citizen
input
meeting
on
October
20th
2022,
which
was
the
opportunity
for
the
board
to
hear
from
citizens
on
their
issues
concerning
the
capital
Improvement
budget
program
now
I'd
like
to
start
with
the
first
presentation
from
the
Department
of
reckon
Parks
I'd
like
to
invite
Mr
Bob
Smith
from
the
Department
of
reckon
parks
to
begin
his
presentation.
F
Good
evening
chairwoman,
halfford
and
members
of
the
playing
board
I'm
Bob
Smith
I'm,
the
acting
director
for
the
Department
of
Recreation
and
Parks
and
I'm
pleased
to
offer
you
a
presentation
on
the
department
of
recreation
parks
proposed
fiscal
year.
2024
Capital
Improvement
plan
next

Please.
A
F
P106
is
a
special
project
category
which
provides
funding,
support
to
the
non-profit
conservation
organization,
neighbor
space
of
Baltimore
County,
which
acquires
and
develops
small
pocket
parks
and
urbanized
communities.
Next
slide.
Please
a
capital
budget
supporting
detail
booklet
for
fiscal
year.
2023
displays
proposed
funding
amounts
for
out
years,
including
fiscal
year
2024..
F
The
amounts
proposed
for
the
FY
2024,
Parks
preservation
and
greenway's
capital
budget
as
displayed
above,
is
22
950
000..
This
amount
is
subject
to
change
based
upon
multiple
factors
such
as
revised
State
funding
amounts
that
will
not
be
known
until
late
in
the
state's
legislative
session
and
the
amount
of
any
tier
funding
that
may
be
added
to
supplement
the
proposed
funding.
It
is
important
to
note
that
Capital
funding
typically
carries
over
year
to
year,
which
reflects
the
fact
that
major
capital
projects
may
take
several
years
to
complete
next
slide.
F
The
supporting
detailed
booklet
likewise
displays
the
anticipated
Revenue
sources
for
the
proposed
FY
2024
budget.
The
types
of
Revenue
sources
range
from
County
sources,
such
as
general
funds
and
bonds
to
outside
sources
such
as
federal
state
and
Maryland
program,
Open
Space,
funding
to
special
sources
such
as
local,
open
space
waiver
fees,
donations
and
other
a
number
of
the
listed
Revenue
sources
are
relying
upon
the
receipt
of
associated
funds.
For
instance,
Revenue
listed
under
donations
does
not
become
real
unless
donations
are
indeed
forthcoming.
F
Next
slide
program,
open
space
or
POS
has
been
an
invaluable
capital
budget,
Revenue
Source,
helping
to
find
a
variety
of
Park
acquisition,
development
and
enhancement
projects.
Even
when
County
funding
was
scarce,
the
chart
on
the
left
shows
the
county
POS
allocations
in
two-year
periods
from
fiscal
years,
2014
2015
through
2022-2023.,
as
can
be
seen,
the
amount
of
POS
funding
has
increased
over
the
years.
The
chart
on
the
right
shows
the
percentage
of
the
overall
recreational
Park's
capital
budget
that
POS
comprised
over
the
same
time
period.
F
As
you
can
see,
the
proportion
grew
to
more
than
50
percent
in
fiscal
years,
2018
and
2019.
Since
that
time
the
percentage
has
dropped,
despite
the
amount
of
POS
funding.
Significantly
increasing
veteran
is
due
to
a
stronger
investment
of
County
funding
into
the
Recreational
Products
capital
budget.
Over
the
past
four
years,
the
capital
funding
has
allowed
recreational
parks
in
cooperation
with
Baltimore
County
Property
Management
to
again
construct
new
parks
and
enhance
existing
Parks
and
Recreation
sites.
The
stronger
accounting
investment
has
allowed
critical
park
and
recreation
facility
renovation
programs
to
resume
next
slide.
Please

F
Category
301
is
the
primary
source
for
park
and
recreation
facility,
Renovations
and
capital
funded

A
strong
County
investment
in
this
project
category
is
essential.
As
the
previously
mentioned
program.
Open
Space
funds
are
intended
to
be
expended
on
Park
acquisition,
development
and
enhancement
with
rules
that

and
his
administration,
both
in
terms
of
number
of
sites
Acquired
and
the
quality
of
the
sites.
The
15
properties
acquired
in
calendar
year
of
2019
through
2022,
is
nearly
double
the
quantity
acquired
in
the
prior
four
calendar
years,
emphasis
has
been
placed
upon
acquiring
properties
that
will
make
functional
Park
and
Recreation
sites,
with
increased
Equity
being
a
key
consideration.
F

The
four
properties

the
wide
range
of
purposes
for
which
a
property
may
be
acquired
for
Park
and
Recreation
purposes.

large
enough
to
support
a
large-scale
recreation

most
recent

property
acquisition

Oh
this
project
category
generally
has
limited
funding
as
other
project
categories
such
as
p301,
p307
or

are
often
utilized
to
increase

facility
accessibility.
Only

presently
allocated

program
for
FY
2024.
F
Because
I'm,
a
significant
project
being
funded
out
of
the
p755
is
the
program
is
the
point
access
renovation
project
at
Rocky,
Point

Peninsula,
you
can
say
that
five
times
real
fast,
the
proposed
Renovations
and
enhancements
presently
under

include
revamping
and
the
construction
of

F
A
G
H
G
G
As
a
former
as
a
graduate
education
teacher
at
Everett,
high
school
I'm
concerned
about
the
plans
for
additional
facilities
in
the
Hereford
area
and
currently
the
development
of
a
field
in
the
Sparks
area,
which
is
about
five
miles
below
Hereford
and
further
away
from
most
of
the
users
I'm
concerned
about
any
indoor
facilities
that
have
been
planned.
Excuse
me
at
this
site,
there's
a
great
need
for
additional
indoor
facilities
at
the
Hereford
area
or
the
high
school
which
could
be
used
for
both
education,
both
the
school
and
for
recreation,
and
we
have
a
huge
need.
G
F
And
so
I
believe
you're
referencing,
the
Belfast
Road
Site,
located
adjacent
to
the
existing
I.
Guess
what
I'll
call
the
new
Sparks
Elementary
Greg
yeah
I
mean
the
the
issue
with
building
closer
to
the
the
School
site
is
currently
the
department
of
recreation
parks.
Doesn't
own
any
property
in
that
in
that
area,
it's
all
BCPS
property.
So
we
had
identified
the
Belfast
Road
site
as
a
potential
way
to
add
both
outdoor
and
indoor
Recreation
amenities
into
the
north
county
area.
F
We
did
hold
a
public.
You
know
input
meeting
back
in
October
November
to
begin
to
hear
from
the
public
on
needs
him
once
for
those
facilities,
but
as
I'm
sure
I
can
quote
Pat
McDougall
who's
on
this
call,
if
there's
additional
property
in
the
north
county,
that
anyone
can
identify
for
us
to
add
additional
recreational
amenities
that
we're
always
looking
for
those
opportunities.
G
Well,
currently,
they're
building
additional
Senior
Center
there
behind
the
Hereford
High
School
between
Hereford
High
School
and
the
Hereford
itself,
and
this
is
a
large
enough
area
that
that
could
be
used
for
recreational
uses.
Also,
in
addition
to
the
area
right
beside
the
existing
gym
on
the
high
school
itself.
F
And
I
also
know,
sir
we're
in
our
conversations
with
aging.
We
have
had
some
preliminary
conversations
about.
You
know
co-using
their
facilities
as
well,
so
when
they
get
into
the
design
phase
for
the
new
aging
Center
they're
in
the
heart
kind
of
in
in
Hereford,
we
may
have
an
opportunity
there
as
well
I.
F
E
Thank
you,
first
of
all,
Mr
Smith
for
that
presentation,
so
I'm
new
to
the
board.
So
if
this
is
a
general
question,
I
apologize
so
do
you
does
the
department
of
parks
and
recs,
you
guys
track
attendance
and
utilization
of
the
parks
and
amenities?
Is
that
kind
of
how
you
prioritize
what
projects
come
up
and
where
you'd
love
to
acquire
land.
F
I
I
wish
we
could
track
the
the
usership
at
the
parks
more
clearly
because
of
the
number
of
facilities
and
kind
of
the
range
of
where
they
all
are.
It
is
not,
you
know
possible
for
us
to
track
every
person
who
comes
in
and
uses
the
park
facility.
What
what
we
have
started
to
do
is
utilizing
Google
metrics
to
track
kind
of
increase
in
Recreation
Area
usage.
So
we
can.
F
So
a
lot
of
it
is
is
based
upon
our
you
know,
scheduling
of
what
we
have
going
on
input
that
we
receive
from
the
public.
We
were,
we
have
staff
that
are
situated
in
all
of
the
communities
and
we
receive
direct
input
back
that
way
and
then
you
know
in
the
budget
Town
Hall
processes,
you
know,
help
us
determine
where's
the
best
locations
to
begin
to
move
stuff
forward.
E
F
And
with
the
skate
party,
as
an
example,
you
know,
as
we
mentioned,
there
was
a
a
very
historical,
concrete
Bowl
skate
park
on
the
West
Side
and
in
meeting
with
there's
a
skateboard
Council
that
we
meet
with
that
kind
of
represents
the
skaters
throughout
Baltimore
County,
and
we
were
able
to
identify
a
site
on
the
east
side.
So
we
try
to
balance
that
out.
F
G
F
D
F
F
F
F
A
I
Good
evening,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
invitation
to
present
tonight.
I
am
the
chief
of
property
management
and
I.
Have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
multiple
agencies
throughout
Baltimore
County,
as
you
heard,
acting
director
Smith
had
mentioned.
Reckon
Parks
is
one
of
the
many
agencies
that
we
work
with.
I
I
would
like
to
mention
that
we
work
very
closely
with
the
libraries
who
you
will
hear
from
next.
We
also
then
do
General
all
of
General
government,
which
could
be
any
any
of
the
Department
of
aging's
capital
requests.
We
handle
on
top
of
the
health
department,
the
corrections
facility,
General
government
I'm,
trying
to
think
giving
you,
but
I
will
go
through
some
examples,
but
pretty
much.
We
are
their
their
arm
to
the
construction
piece
and
they
are
definitely
a
very,
very
vital
import.
I
Okay,
a
little
bit
about
property
management
in
general,
because
not
only
do
we
do
Capital,
but
we
do
many
other
things.
We
have
a
building
maintenance,
division,
a
grounds,
maintenance,
division,
a
custodial
support
service
and,
of
course,
the
more
popular
one
is
our
capital
projects
and
enhancement
next
slide.
I
Next
slide
in
our
building
maintenance
section,
we
maintain
over
750
primary
and
auxiliary
buildings
and
structures,
including,
but
not
limited
to
obviously
Community
Rec,
Centers
senior,
centers
libraries,
fire
stations,
police
stations
and
other
items
like
conference
station
Pavilions
and
any
outlying
amenities.
We
support.
We
have
over
6
million
square
feet
of
building
space.
To
maintain,
and
last
year
alone,
we
had
17
576
work
tickets
that
were
actually
completed
in
our
22
season.
I
Grounds
Maintenance
is
another
division,
you're,
probably
very
familiar
with.
So
we
help
support
all
facets,
including
Recreation
and
Parks.
So
we
mow
over
2
000
Acres
a
week.
We
have
a
149
playgrounds
that
we're
responsible
for
and
each
one
of
them
gets
inspected
monthly,
and
if
there
is
any
any
things
that
need
to
be
repaired,
we
repair
them
immediately.
I
I
Next
slide
things
that
are
taken
into
criteria,
that's
taken
into
consideration
each
year
is
that
we
look
at
our
master
plan.
What
was
the
guidelines
or
what
was
the
County's
mission
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
are
in
line
with
the
goals
that
were
set
forth?
We
take
into
consideration.
Is
it?
Is
it
smart
growth?
Is
it
sustainable?
Is
it
you
know
the
time
that
we're
we're
doing
a
project
on
the
roof?
Is
it
time
to
look
at
solar
or
any
other
energy
sources
or
we're
replacing
an
HVAC?
I
Do
we
go
all
electric,
so
we
take
all
of
that
to
help
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
and
looking
at
that,
we
take
into
the
consideration
the
community.
Looking
at
the
health
and
public
safety
issues
and
what
issues
we're
having
and
how
we
can
enhance
that
community,
obviously
we
always
take
into
consideration
the
budget.
More
importantly,
does
it
make
sense
to
do
one
project
in
collaboration
with
another?
I
What
is
a
federal
and
state
mandate
was
anything
required
that
changed
by
code
that
we
have
to
bring
up
to
code
if
we
can
and
then
again
timing
kind
of
goes
back
to
that
theory
we
take
and
we're
already
doing,
you
know
this
project
of
a
renovation
in
this
facility.
Do
we
add
this
portion,
which
is
the
HVAC
and
add
it
in
there?
So
they
are
all
taken
into
consideration
next
slide
capital
projects
currently
open
in
the
2000
of
2023
So.
I
Currently
we
have
366
capital
projects
that
we
are
working
on,
so
I
do
want
to
say
some
of
them
are
little.
Maybe
they're
as
little
as
a
sidewalk
and
then
others
are
we're
building
new
buildings
or
developing
site
plans
for
an
agency
so
that
they
can
build
a
new
park,
build
a
new
building,
put
a
new
athletic
turf
field
in
or
we're
repairing
someone.
You
know
a
park
sidewalk
or
a
fire
stations
parking
lot.

of
our
work.
I
I
The
type
of
completed
Capital
project
so
far
this
year
is
fiscal
year.
23
is
256..
We
tried
to
give
a
breakdown,
because
when
you
think
of
capital,
you
think
oh
we're
only
building,
but
we
do
a
lot
of
things.
We
might
be
internally
moving
agencies
from
one
location
to
another
or
we
have
to
renovate
space
in
a
facility
we
may
be
in
the
design
and
study
phase.
We
might
be
looking
to
there's
a
conceptual
idea
that
we
want
to
do,
and
we
do
some
of
those
before
we
even
go
to
full-blown
design.
I
I
This
is
a
slide
to
kind
of
show
you
where
our
historical
capital
budget
expenditures
have
been
since
FY
2019..
This
is
only
for
1036.
So
remember,
capital
budget
can
be
money.
That's
actually
wreck
is
set
aside
for
them,
so
that
is
not
captured
in
here.
This
is
for
General
government
buildings.
Only
so
libraries
have
their
own
as
you're
going
to
hear
and
Rec
does.
But
this
is
everybody
else
Falls
in
this
catchment
and
so
for
FY
23.
I
Fy
projects
update,
so
we
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
what
we
presented
last
year,
what
we
were
working
on
and
kind
of
give
you
enough
data
where
we
are
today.
So
this
picture
is
a
beautiful
picture
of
a
conceptual
that
we
have
in
Fernwood
and
park
parked
in
landfill,
solar
Fields.
This
is
where
we
took
Brown
fields
and
we
would
like
to
install
solar.
This
is
a
picture
of
Parkton.
It's
90
percent
concept
is
the
concept
design
and
that
you
will
soon
be
seeing
the
sign
that
says.
I
Construction
will
begin
very
shortly:
Randallstown
Community
Center.
We
are
doing
a
solar
installation
and
that's
going
to
be
beginning
the
summer
of
23.
the
circuit
court
building.
As
many
of
you
probably
know,
it
is
a
very
large
facility,
it
we're
doing
a
systemic
HVAC
study
for
those
who
don't
know
that
building
was
built
in
in
different
layers,
so
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
HVAC
equipment.
I
That's
completely
different
on
each
floor
and
it's
very
Antiquated,
so
we're
doing
a
study
to
see
what
is
their
recommendation
on
how
we
can
bring
that
very
large
and
heavily
used
building
into
the
modern
century
and
have
a
better,
better
energy,
efficient
building
and
then
Wilkins
police
station.
We
are
currently
in
design.
I
I
One
of
the
other
projects
that
we've
been
working
on
is
the
lake
Roland
pump
house
repairs.
We
had
some
systemic
stability
we
needed
to
do
to
the
pump
house
so
that
we
can
make
sure
it
stays
there
for
a
very
long
time.
So
we
worked
with
the
Maryland
historic
chess
to
make
sure
that
we
could
meet
their
needs
and
and
get
that
building
stabilized
and
Woodlawn
Senior
Center
for
those
have
been
asking
for
many
years.
Construction
has
started
and
we
hope
to
be
completed,
August
of
23,
and
that
was
the
expansion
for
the
senior
center.
I
I
We
are
taking
the
the
161
very
large
buildings
we
have
here
in
the
county
and
we've
hired
a
consultant
to
help
do
a
full
assessment
of
each
building,
and
we
expect
that
to
be
completed
in
fy24.
What
that
will
do
for
the
county
is
it
will
help
us
have
a
a
true
document
and
a
map
to
help
us
create
a
very
strong
Capital
program
throughout
Baltimore
County.
So
that
is
gonna.
I
I
I
Some
other
projects,
the
Edgemere
Senior
Center,
HVAC
replacement,
will
begin
the
summer
of
24
and
the
Fullerton
fire
station
renovation.
That
Pro
is
in
progress,
we're
adding
a
complete
renovation
of
the
women's
and
men's
locker
room
and
washer
and
dryer
extractors,
and
that
construction
should
begin
FY
of
24.
next
slide.
I
Foreign,
you
will
be
very
happy
Mr
Wayne,
to
know
that
the
Hereford
Senior
Center
is
currently
in
progress
with
design.
We
are
working
very
closely
with
both
aging
and
the
rec.
Excuse
me
reckon
parks
to
talk
about
this
site
and
not
only
have
it
as
a
senior
center,
but
how
it
could
be
more
used
as
a
community
center
after
hours.
So
this
is
a
very
engaging
opportunity
for
us.
I
Loch
Raven,
the
Loch
Raven
Center,
many
of
you
may
know
on
Ken
Glenn,
Keith
Road.
There
is
a
feasibility
study
being
done
for
a
renovation
and
a
possible
addition
to
this
facility
and
that's
currently
under
study
and
the
Randallstown
fire
station.
The
mechanical
upgrade
design
and
construction
will
begin
in
fy24
next
slide.
I
I
hope
that
you
can
see
quite
frankly
that
we
are
very
busy
here
in
Baltimore
County
and
it
is
property
Management's
honored
to
work
very
closely.
Not
only
with
this
board,
but
the
communities
and
our
agencies
to
help
support
everyone
in
Baltimore
County
to
make
a
great
facility
and
I
can
take
any
questions
if
needed.
Thank
you.
A
I
H
Yeah
I
was
I
just
wanted
to
first.
Thank
you
for
the
Woodlawn
Senior
Center,
that's
been
a
project,
that's
been
on
people's
mind
for
a
very
long
time.
So
first
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
ask
a
little
bit
about
how
the
county
is
going
to
utilize.
Some
of
the
buildings
in
Towson,
you
know,
is
there
plans
since
the
office
space
is
not
being
utilized
and
is
there
a
plan
to
look
at
wanna
back
to
work,
but
if
not
how
they
would
utilize
that
those
offices
in
that
space.
I
So
I'm
not
sure
specifically
what
office
you're
talking
about
because,
quite
frankly,
we
are
using
every
interval
of
Towson
space
that
we
have
right
now
and
busting
at
the
seams,
but
the
county
does
and
and
I'm
a
huge
advocate
for
this.
We
do
have
Stella
working
that
is
in
place
and
the
county
and
and
I
have
been
part
of
that
conversation
is.
We
are
starting
to
look
at
following
the
national
Trends
to
kind
of
go
into
a
more
hoteling
model,
if
possible
and
So.
I
G
I
wanted
to
remind
the
speakers
that
in
the
past
of
Northern
Baltimore
County,
the
only
Recreation
facilities
have
been
in
collaboration
with
the
high
school,
with
the
schools,
Elementary
and
high
schools.
So
this
has
always
been
a
fact
that
there
was
use
of
these
facilities
and
I
would
urge
you
to
do
further
study
on
the
use
of
the
Hanford
High
School,
in
addition
to
the
recreation,
the
senior
center
area.
Thank
you.
C
I
Yes
ma'am,
so
Randallstown
is
a
solar
roof
project.
We
do
take
a
very
good
look
at
when
we
go
to
replace
roofs.
There
is
an
open
discussion
for
some
of
our
facilities
and
I
will
give
you
a
perfect
example.
I
actually
am
stationed
at
Glen
Arm
we
did
originally
when
we
got
went
to
go.
Look
at
that
roof
replacement
needed.
We
started
down
the
road
to
do
a
quick
feasibility
to
see
if
we
could
put
solar
on
it.
I
I
B
B
I
I
J
Yeah,
so
that's
a
part
of
it
would
be
part
of
a
pppa
I'm.
Sorry,
a
power
purchase
agreement.
The
county
would
work
and
to
be
used
to
land
for
what's
called
waterfall
against
existing
County
usage
and
we
go
back
in
the
grid
General
use,
but
we
would
use
it
in
a
sense
to
offset
County
or
Productions
in
our
our
buildings
and
so
forth
that
nature.
A
K
C
K
K
We've
been
coming
before
the
planning
board
for
many
years
and,
as
you
know,
many
of
you
know,
we
have
19
facilities
across
the
county
raging
in
age
from
11
years
old
to
the
Reisterstown
Branch,
a
part
of
which
is
from
the
1820s.
So
if
you
present
a
number
of
challenges
and
opportunities
for
the
building
program,
many
of
our
buildings
were
actually
built
in
the
1960s
and
1970s.
So,
as
you
can
imagine
in
2023
they
are.
K
We
are
finding
many
challenges
in
the
design
of
old
buildings
and
how
to
retrofit
them
toward
for
modern
Library
usage.
So
it's
quite
an
interesting
challenge
for
all
of
us.
Our
buildings
range
in
size
from
very
small
2500
square
feet
at
our
Loch
Raven
library,
to
a
large
93
000
square
feet
in
our
Towson
Library
and
administrative
offices
building
and
all
of
those
library
branches.
Whether
they
are
small
or
large,
are
full
service.
Libraries
providing
the
full
array
of
services
to
the
citizens
of
Baltimore
County
next
slide.
K
We
want
to
create
Library
buildings
throughout
the
county
that
meet
the
21st
century,
needs
of
our
residents
of
our
communities
that
are
gracious,
welcoming,
exciting
spaces
to
be
in
that
are
be,
that
are
buildings
that
are,
in
fact
viewed
as
a
point
of
pride
in
our
communities
and
neighborhoods
buildings
that
are
flexible
and
adaptable
to
the
many
uses
that
our
customers
come
to.
The
public
library
for
in
2023
libraries
are
no
longer
just
about
checking
out
books
or
studying
their
social
spaces.
We
have
meeting
rooms,
we
have
study
rooms.
K
Last
year,
when
we
were
here,
we
shared
with
you
a
video
which
I'm
just
sharing
the
link
again.
I
won't
take
the
time
to
show
it
as
it's
rather
long,
but
it's
a
video
that
highlights
some
of
the
21st
century
libraries
that
we
are
particularly
interested
in,
including
in
our
area,
the
Michael
Bush
library
in
Annapolis,
which
is
a
model
of
a
modern
20
21st
century
Library
space
and
the
exploration
Commons
in
the
Carroll
County
Public
Library,
Westminster
branch,
which
is
a
great
example
of
a
flexible
maker
space.
K
And
what
can
be
done
with
that
in
all
of
our
21st
century
libraries?
We
want
to
create
spaces
that
are
for
learning
for
play
for
exploration
for
discovery
that
will
support
both
quiet
activities
and
noisy
activities,
and,
if
you've
been
in
any
of
our
libraries
these
days,
you
know
that
they
are
not
necessarily
quiet,
but
we
try
to
create
spaces
for
those
who
want
quiet
and
for
those
who
want
social
interaction.
K
Our
libraries
are
now
centers
for
Community
expression.
We
have
art
exhibits
in
our
libraries,
we
serve
meat.
We
serve
food
in
our
libraries
to
teens
and
children,
who
may
not
be
getting
made
out
of
access
to
food
at
home.
We
are
using
our
libraries
for
a
variety
of
after
school
programs.
We
do
things
like
passport
acceptance
in
our
libraries
and
we
create
workspaces
for
a
variety
of
Library
users.

slide.
K
K
Our
most
recent
completed
major
Capital
project
was
the
renovation
of
the
Reisterstown
library
and
we
had
a
ribbon
cutting
there
on
September
14th
of
2021,
and
you
may
remember,
this
was
a
major
project
of
3.8
million
dollar
renovation.
Part
of
the
building
was
historic
dating
to
the
1820s
and
required
historic
restoration.
I
just
got
to
have
a
few
pictures
from
the
renovation
to
show
you
the
transformed
space
next
slide.
Please.
K
We've
made
some
other
major
Capital
Improvements
in
FY,
22
and
23
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
of
those
one
was
our
White
Marsh
Branch,
where
we
have
completely
re
reshelled.
The
branch
which
may
seem
like
a
small
thing
but
shelving
is
a
big
deal
in
public
libraries
and
many
of
our
branches
had
very
old
style
shelving
that
was
very
tall.
K
Very
wide,
took
up
a
lot
of
floor
space,
cut
down
on
light
and
created
sort
of
a
dark,
competitive
role,
feeling
in
the
building,
White
Marsh
and
that's
the
picture
at
the
top.
We
were
able
to
take
out
all
the
old
shelving
and
replace
it
with
our
new
standard
for
shelving,
which
is
lower,
thinner,
takes
up
much
less
floor.
Space
opens
the
spaces
up
for
customer
use
for
collaboration
for
work
for
study
and
also
create
some
improved
sight
lines
and
improved
lighting
throughout
the
building,
we're
very
proud
of
that
project.
K
In
addition,
we
we've
updated
the
lobby
to
the
reister's.
Excuse
me,
the
Randallstown
meeting
room,
the
meeting
room
was
part
of
a
renovation
of
that
branch
that
was
done
several
years
ago,
but
due
to
funding
limitations,
we
weren't
able
to
address
the
lobby.
So
we
were
finally
able
to
redo
the
lobby
to
bring
it
up
to
the
style
and
and
character
of
the
rest
of
the
branch.
K
K
Our
current
major
Capital
project
that
I
just
want
to
highlight-
and
again
we
talked
about
this
last
year-
is
the
renovation
of
our
catons
Catonsville
branch.
This
is
a
project,
that's
been
several
years
in
the
making
and
we're
excited
to
see
it
happening,
we're
just
we're
expecting
to
begin
Construction
in
March
of
this
year
and
it's
going
to
be
a
12-month
construction
project.
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
getting
this
7.9
million
dollar
renovation
launched.
K
This
will
be
a
complete
in
renovation
of
the
Interior,
so
we
will
essentially
be
gutting
the
interior
and
completely
rethinking
it
to
bring
it
up
to
21st
century
Library
standards.
The
renovation
will
include
audio
video
recording
studios
in
the
lower
level
of
the
library,
and
this
will
be
a
first
for
bcpl.
These
will
be
our
first
recording
studios
for
the
system
and
we'll
align
with
this.
The
music
theme
of
the
Catonsville
area,
so
we're
very
excited
to
get
this
project
going
next
slide.
K
Some
other
capital
projects
that
we're
currently
working
on
with
property
management
and
the
office
of
budget
and
finance
the
Woodlawn
library
we
are
currently
engaged
in
community
engagement
around
the
renovation
and
expansion
of
that
Library.
We're
going
to
be
meeting
with
Community
leaders,
community
members,
our
staff,
our
customers,
to
talk
about
what
they
want
in
a
new
Woodlawn
library
we're
going
to
be
moving
then
into
design
for
that
renovation
and
expansion
and
hopefully
into
construction
in
the
summer
of
24.
K
We
hope
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
exciting
project
for
the
Woodlawn
community
and
we're
very
excited
to
be
gaining
additional
space
and
having
an
opportunity
to
rethink
the
Woodland
library
from
the
Woodlawn
Community
residents.
In
addition,
we
are
in
we're
just
beginning
our
design
for
the
White
Marsh
Library
renovation
of
the
meeting
room
and
restrooms.
K
This
is
a
project
we've
been
wanting
to
do
for
several
years
and
and
happily,
we
were
able
to
move
forward
with
that
now,
but
we
are
also
working
on
Renovations
of
the
public
and
staff
restrooms
at
Pikesville.
As
I
said,
the
Pikesville
building
is
shared
by
the
library
and
the
senior
center
upstairs,
and
so
the
public
restrooms
are
heavily
used
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
really
updating
those
and
modernizing
them.
We're.
G
K
Point
Library,
so
that
is
also
a
project.
That's
in
design
and
we've
been
working
on
some
feasibility
studies
for
the
possibility
of
renovation
or
replacement
of
our
Essex
and
Towson
libraries
next
slide
just
a
point
to
consider
an
average
library
and
by
that
I
mean
a
library
of
about
28
to
25
000
square
feet.
These
days,
an
average
Library
interior
renovation
costs
between
8
and
10
million
dollars
for
the
same
size,
Library
a
new
library
building
on
average,
now
costs
between
30
and
50
million
dollars.
So
it
isn't.
K
This
is
the
most
money
that
bcpl
has
ever
had
dedicated
to
a
single
Library
renovation,
so
we're
so
excited
for
the
possibilities
that
this
this
opens
up.
Other
libraries
that
we're
looking
to
improve
in
the
future.
Interestingly
enough,
Essex,
Landsdowne
and
Towson
all
have
the
same
problem
they're
vastly
different
in
sizes
and
usage,
but
they
all
have
basically
the
same
challenges
which
are
that
they
are.
They
have
insufficient
space
now
for
the
uses
that
we
need
them
to
fulfill.
K
They
are
aging
and
their
systems
are
giving
us
some
challenges
and
also
we
are
looking
for
libraries
that
will
most
better
meet
the
needs
of
those
communities.
So
we're
really
excited
to
to
think
about
moving
those
projects
forward
in
the
future,
and
I
might
also
note
that
those
three
projects-
Essex
Lansdowne
and
Towson-
were
supported
by
some
comments
from
the
community
that
were
submitted
to
the
planning
board
this
session.
K
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
moving
forward
with
some
some
thinking
and
Idea
Idea
creation
around
those
around
those
Library
buildings
and
spaces
and
I
think
that's
the
end
of
the
presentation.
We
thank
you
again
for
your
advocacy
and
supportive
libraries,
as
you
have
done
for
many
years
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
K
We
get
a
1.95
million
allotment
every
other
year,
plus
money
from
the
1036
which
supports
other
projects
so,
depending
on
the
year,
I
think
and
on
average
we
we
are
looking
at
about
eight
to
ten
million
dollars
that
support
Library
projects,
I'll
kind
of
look
to
Matt
and
Deb.
Just
to
tell
me
if
I'm
off
base
there
but
I
believe
that's
about
right.
A
L
K
We
work
with
property
management
very
carefully
on
and
very
thoroughly
to
look
at
possible
sites
for
a
new
building.
The
challenge
with
our
Essex
Library
is
that
it
is
in
a
shopping
center,
so
it
is
not
an
ideal
location
for
accessibility,
so
we
are.
We
are
thinking
about
the
possibility
of
other
properties
in
the
Essex
area.
K
I
So
we
also
as
property
management
work
with
with
a
realtor,
and
we
also
work
with
the
community
and
and
some
other
resources
to
determine
if
there's
any
property
that
is
available,
we
also
look
at
property.
We
already
own
in
the
community.
I
can't
really
disclose
right
now
in
the
Essex
Community,
because
we
are
looking
at
some
property,
but
we
do
we
take
any
and
every
piece
of
information.
I
If
somebody
knows
that,
there's
a
property
that
may
be
for
sale
or
someone
wants
to
sell,
please
feel
free
to
share
it
with
the
library.
But
we
do
we
we
run
down.
Those
leads
internal
leads,
Community
leads
and
we
use
a
realtor.
So
that's
what
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
is
really
trying
to
determine
where
we
would
like
to
put
this
and
is
there
any
land
available.
I
Yes
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
James.
What
we
do
is
we
work
very
closely
with
the
the
branch
and
the
administration
of
the
library,
so
they
communicate
the
needs
because
we
do
understand
that
Transit
is
very
important
in
communities,
and
so
yes,
we
are
looking
at
that,
particularly
for
that
location.
K
A
I
am
not
seeing
anything
so
if
there
are
no
further
questions.
Thank
you
again,
Mr
cook.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
If
there
are
no
further
comments
or
questions,
we
will
adjourn.
I
do
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
several
other
board
members
have
joined
us
since
we
did
the
roll
call,
Miss,
German,
Mr,
Johnson,
Mr,
McGinnis,
Miss,
Panero
I,
think
I've
got
everyone.
Who's
who's
joined
the
next
Capital
Improvements
meeting
will
be
this
Thursday
January
26th
at
5
30..
This
meeting
will
also
be
held.
