D
A
A
Anything
we
should
know
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
really,
don't
have
any
public
service
announcements
today,
but
I
did
notice
this
week
that
apparently
Girl
Scout
cookies
have
arrived.
So
if
you're
out
and
about
you
see
the
table
with
out
there
selling
cookies.
Please
help
support
the
organization.
Girl
Scouts,
Boy
Scouts
are
great
organizations
to
help
young
people
get
on
the
right
path
for
the
rest
of
their
lives,
so
do
what
you
can
to
support
them
and
the
cookies
aren't
all
bad.
A
A
Stop
by
stop
by
and
introduce
yourself
and
or
she'll.

During
the
celebration
of
the
United
States
Bicentennial,
he
urged
Americans
to
seize
the
opportunity
to
honor
the
too
often
neglected
accomplishments
of
black
Americans
in
every
area
of
endeavor.
Throughout
history,
every
United
States
President
since
1976
has
officially
designated
the
month
of
February's
Black,
History
Month
and
whereas
the
board
of
county
commissioner
encourages
its
citizens
to
celebrate
Black
History
Month
in
their
communities
during
the
month
of
February
and
pause
to
reflect
on
the
numerous
contributions
of
black
Americans
in
our
County.
D
Now,
therefore
be
a
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
the
month
of
February
2023
is
celebrated
and
recognized
as
Black
History
Month.
Be
it
further
proclaimed
that
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
urges
every
citizen
to
celebrate
the
month
with
reflection
on
the
many
great
achievements
of
black
Americans
in
our
County
and
Country,
given
under
our
hands
and
seal
this
seventh
day
of
February
2023,
signed
by
All
County
commissioners.
G
A
So
Mr
Kent's
being
a
little
modest
this
morning,
Mr
Ken
is
chair
of
the
local
chapter
of
the
NAACP
and,
if
you
haven't
heard
him
speak
he's
a
great
historic
and
historic
historian,
easy
for
me
to
say
on
black
history
in
Calvert
County.
So
if
you
ever
get
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
him
speak,
you
should
take
that
opportunity.
A
I
think
he's
also
written
a
book
or
two
maybe
and
about
to
put
a
plug
in,
but
I
think
he
might
have
a
book
or
two
out
so,
like
I
said,
if
you
get
an
opportunity
to
hear
him
speak,
you
should
take
that
opportunities
very
well
educated
and
knowledgeable
about
it.
So
thank
you,
Mr
Kent.
We
appreciate
it.
Thank.
I
Please
all
right
great!
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Julie
Ober
I'm,
director
of
Economic
Development
here
for
Calvert
County
today
we're
here
in
celebration
of
national
entrepreneurship
week
and
we've
got
several
members
of
our
community
with
us,
I'd
like
to
invite
everybody
who's
here
for
that
to
come
on
up
and
they've
already
listened,
very
well
and
well.
They're
coming
up
I'll
just
tell
you
that
last
month,
honeytown
High
School
hosted
a
future
Business
Leaders
of
America
FBLA
Shark
Tank
competition.
I
We
had
six
teams
participating
for
cash
prizes,
the
goal
of
the
fblas
to
bring
business
and
education
together
in
a
positive
working
relationship
through
Innovation
leadership
and
career
development
programs.
We
had
several
local
business
owners
help
with
that
competition
to
help
with
the
idea
development,
as
well
as
their
business
plans,
and
several
members
of
our
Economic
Development
advisory
committee
also
served
as
judges,
and
so
we've
got
many
entrepreneurs
and
business
owners
and
students
here
today,
so
I'll.
Let
them
go
ahead
and
introduce
themselves
Angela.
C
Can
you
can
you
please
say
like
if
what
you're
doing
entrepreneur,
wise
or
name
of
the
business
or
just
a
little
bit
of
something
yep.
B
B
L
L
My
project
idea
was
to
make
necklaces
out
of
sea
glass
that
you
find
on
the
bay,
and
this
helps
the
environment,
because
not
all
because
you're
removing
glass
from
the
ocean
or
from
the
bay,
which
is
not
good
for
Animals
they're,
not
not
good
for
people,
because
you
step
on
it,
you
can
get
hurt
and
I
made
it
into
these
really
pretty.
Looking
necklaces
I
used
gold
wire
that
I
bought
and
I
wrapped
it
around
and
I
took
a
string,
and
it
had
this
really
cute,
beachy,
feel
and
and
like.
K
M
M
We
run
school
buses
for
the
school
system
in
Coward
County
and
right
now
we
have
30
buses
that
bring
kids
to
and
from
school
every
day
and
do
trips
and
provide
for
a
member
of
the
the
chamber
here
and
also
the
southern
Northern
chamber,
hopefully
we'll
we'll
help
to
them
and
provide
services
for
calorie
count.
Excellent.
Thank
you
forward.
N
Good
morning,
Commissioners
good
morning,
my
name
is
Edsel
Brown
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
Southern
Maryland
minority
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm,
also,
the
former
head
of
the
small
business
Innovation
research
program
at
the
U.S
small
business
administration
and
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
get
a
little
plug-in
to
encourage
the
Commissioners
in
the
county
to
become
more
involved
with
Innovative
technology.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
Good
morning
my
name
is
Morgan
Jones
I'm,
one
of
the
small
business
owners
that
helped
I'm
a
self-taught,
silversmith
I
started
in
2020
of
last
year
and
I'm
right
here
in
Calvert,
County
and
I
go
around
to
different
vending
events
and
things
like
that
in
South,
and
continue
to
advance
in
the
train.
Good.
E
O
C
So
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
guys
something
you
don't
already
know,
but
but
you
might
know
that,
there's
something
very,
very
wrong
with
us
right.
We
have
this
thing
inside
to
we
think
we
can
do
it.
We
got
to
give
it
a
try,
you
know,
and
it's
not
for
the
faint
of
heart.
You
know
I
talked
to
a
gentleman
one
time
and
he
he
said
you
know
he
goes
when
I
sold
my
business.
They
said
to
me,
how
could
you
sell
it?
C
He
said
you've
never
been
in
business
before
tough,
it's
extremely
hard,
there's
not
a
day
off.
It's
a
365
day
thing
you're
on
vacation,
nope
that
phone
and
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
with
those
buses
every
day
when
that
phone
rings.
What
broke
who
didn't
come
in
because
that
job
has
to
happen
all
the
time.
You
know
it.
A
lot
of
folks
will
say:
oh
you're,
Your
Own
Boss.
You
can
take
off
when
you
want
yeah,
okay,
yeah
yeah.
C
No,
no,
it's
true
and
you
know
in
its
but
I
tell
you
I,
wouldn't
want
it
any
other
way.
You
know.
I've
worked
for
folks.
I've
worked
for
myself,
I'd
rather
make
less
money
working
for
me.
You
know
it's
just
something
that
you
know
it's
I,
don't
know
it's
a
thing
ever
like
when
I
was
a
little
kid.
I
was
always
selling
candy,
bars
and
stuff
like
that
for
school.
You
know,
I
just
think
it's
you
know,
you
know
early
on,
you
know
and
no
so
I'm
so
thankful.
C
You
folks
are
here,
and
it
is
so
important
because
you
know
small
business.
You
know
when
folks
are
doing
fundraisers,
no
disrespect
to
the
big
corporations.
They
don't
go
to
them.
You
know
they
don't
go
to
them
for
sponsorships
and
stuff
like
that.
They
they
don't
have
that
relationship.
You
know
they.
They
go
to
the
person
that
they
see
at
church
or
at
the
grocery
store.
You
know,
I
mean
and
it's
it's.
C
It
is
such
a
part
of
the
fabric
of
community.
It
really
is
I
mean
and
because
we
depend
on
the
folks
in
our
community,
you
know
we
don't
depend
on
Texas
or
California.
It's
the
folks
right
here.
So
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
and
it's
it's
tough,
but
it's,
but
it's
rewarding
too,
because
you
actually
feel
like
you
make
your
way.
You
know.
C
So
with
all
that
said,
this
Proclamation
here
is
whereas
week
of
February
11th
through
the
18th
2023
has
been
designated
as
National
entrepreneurship
week
and
whereas
entrepreneurship
is
vital
to
Calvert
County's
growth
and
prosperity,
and
whereas
most
of
the
new
jobs
created
through
the
United
States
in
the
past
decade
have
come
from
creative
efforts
of
entrepreneurs
and
small
businesses,
and
whereas
local
entrepreneurs
service
models
of
success
to
others
in
the
community,
because
their
success
demonstrates
an
opportunity
for
others,
whereas
the
United
States
House
of
Representatives
resolve
to
recognize
the
first
annual
National
entrepreneurship
week,
convention
on
February,
24,
2007
and
whereas
Calvert
County
recognize
and
supports
entrepreneurship
as
an
economic
equalizer,
crucial
to
the
long-term
growth
of
local
communities,
State
and
the
nation
National
entrepreneurship.
C
Wheat
provides
Calvert
County
with
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
and
support.
Entrepreneurs
within
our
community
now,
therefore
be
a
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
the
week
of
February
11th
through
18th
2023,
be
known
as
entrepreneurship
week
in
Calvert
County.
Be
it
further
Proclaim
that
we
encourage
all
citizens
to
be
mindful
of
the
role
that
small
businesses
play
in
their
lives
even
under
our
hands
and
sealed
the
seventh
day
of
February
23,
signed
by
all
about
commissioners.

Congratulations:

and
his
ProActive
Management
style
that
ensures
County
Emergency
Response
teams
are
able
to
respond
to
situations
during
inclement
weather.
I
love
this
recommendation
because
it's
coming
from
an
employee,
that's
outside
his
department,
so
it
really
shows
that
his
breadth
of
impact
Mark
Mister
took
a
new
employee
under
his
wing
and
taught
him
how
to
operate
and
maintain
snow
plows
during
the
new
employee's
first
winter
season.
R
This
included
everything
from
how
to
operate
the
plow
to
how
to
properly
clean
out
the
salt
box.
Nothing
was
below
him
to
teach.
Furthermore,
Mark
is
Vigilant
about
maintaining
the
safety
of
calverts
fire
departments
and
rescue
squads
parking
lots
which
often
remain
icy.
Our
First
Responders
are
able
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
citizens
during
inclement
weather
because
of
his
commitment
to
this
task.
Further,
he
doesn't
have
to
hesitate
to
cover
for
other
employees
when
they're
out
sick
to
ensure
that
the
county
county
operations
remain
on
schedule.
R
He
genuinely
cares
about
his
co-workers
and
makes
a
huge
positive
impact
on
workplace
morale.
Mark's
leadership
in
public
works
provides
Calvert
citizens
with
a
safer
place
to
work
and
live,
and
his
guidance
and
mentoring
encourages
others
to
strive
for
excellence
and
go
above
and
beyond.
His
leadership
style
contributes
to
staff
development
skill
building
and
ensures
that
staff
are
prepared
to
handle
their
assigned
tasks.
Mark's
supportive
attitude
and
helpfulness
is
an
asset
to
our
Workforce.
R
The
ERC
is
delighted
to
join
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
in
recognizing
this
remarkable
co-worker.
Thank
you,
Mark
for
all
you
do,
and
thanks
to
Monty
Park,
who
took
the
time
to
nominate
you
for
this
award
and
thank
you,
commissioners,
of
course,
for
your
continued
support
of
the
ERC
and
partnering
with
us
to
recognize
our
remarkable
co-workers
and
I
believe.
S
E
N
S
C
So
Mark,
let
me
let
me
just
say:
come
on
down
two
folks
out
there
don't
know
in
so
much.
This
County
travels
out,
as
you
can
take
this
one
travels
outside
of
this
County.
You
always
hear
him
say
and
I
hear
it.
Every
year,
every
year
thank
God
when
I
hit
Calvert
County
the
roads
were
so
bad
and
when
I
got
here,
it
says
chilling
right
here
now,
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
there
and
he'll.
Be
first.
C
Tell
you
that,
but
I'm
telling
you
he's
in
my
phone
they'll
say
to
me:
Mike:
is
it
safe
to
go
through
such
and
such
hold
on
hey
Mark,
something
such
a
and
he'll
say
sir?
We
just
went
through
such
and
such
this
I
mean
I'm
telling
you
there's
not
a
road
that
we
touch.
He
doesn't
know
the
condition
of
that
thing,
especially
then
I
mean
he
is
a
godsend,
especially
to
me,
because
they
know
where
to
find
me.
C
They
know
who
to
ask
when
he's
on
a
job
somewhere-
and
somebody
will
call
they'll
say:
oh
Mark
was
out
here.
It
was
fine.
I
have
never
had
one
call
in
eight
years
that
they
didn't
say
that
when
he
was
there,
they
were,
the
customer
was
completely
satisfied.
You
don't
know
how
much
that
means
to
me.
It
really
does
because
I'm
standing
there
in
front
of
him,
you
know
so
to
you
and
everybody
in
that
apartment.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
T
A
A

time

is

and
budget
review
of
public
facilities,
FY
24
Capital
Improvement
plan
good
morning
Veronica
good
morning.
U
Jr
drew
the
Short
Straw
today,
so
just
talking
about
AC
yeah,
no,
not
yet,
but
that
will
be
first
so
I'll
read
the
memo.
The
Department
of
Finance
and
budget
and
public
facilities
will
present
a
review
of
their
proposed
fiscal
year,
2024
six-year
Capital
Improvement
plan
or
CIP
to
the
board
of
County
Commissioners,
the
Department
of
Finance
and
budget
reviewed
public
facilities,
FY
2024-2029
six-year
staff
recommended
CIP
requests,
totaling
64,
770,
413
dollars.
U
Public
facility
CIP
also
includes
Calvert
Marine,
Museum
libraries,
community
and
senior
centers.
The
fiscal
impact
for
public
facilities,
six-year
CIP
proposed
budget
reflects
64
million
seven
hundred
seventy
thousand
four
hundred
thirteen
dollars.
This
amount
includes
10
million
four
hundred
seventy
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
three
dollars
in
grant
funding
the
Pago
general
fund
for
the
six
years
is
six
million
five
hundred
ninety
two
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty
seven
dollars
debt
or
bond
is
47.
V
U
U
U
S
Causeway,
where
you
go
into
and
along
with
the
boardwalk
and
the
more
or
less
the
retaining
wall,
the
bulkhead
that
helps
that's
underneath
of
the
boardwalk
and
along
the
causeway
has
some
structural
issues.
As
far
as
some
of
the
boards
are
old
and
Rodney,
the
soil
is,
is
being
washed
out
every
time
the
tides
coming
in
and
creating
sinkholes
in
the
parking
lot
that
we
have
to
continually
maintain.
So
we
put
it
in
the
budget
to
to
get
a
design
done
and
start
trying
to
repair.
That
permanently
is.
S
D
S
E
D
S
So
that's
the
health
department
building
up
there
by
the
hospital
there's
some
issues.
We've
been
monitoring
over
the
past
few
years,
there's
there's
cracks
that
have
started
going
along
the
brick
facade
and
we
put
gauges
on
there
to
monitor
that
see
how
much
is
moving
and
it
keeps
moving.
So
this
money
is
to
basically
come
in
and
repair
and
do
underpinning
underneath
the
foundation
of
the
building
to
help
support
it
and
then
basically
make
a
structurally
sound,
more
or.
S
Is
the
transfer
station
for
Transportation
buses
that
I
believe
we
had
out
back
in
2018?
We
talked
about
this
and
where
is
that
going
to
go
so
the
first
money
that
you
see
there
in
FY
24
is
to
basically
redo
a
study
to
determine
that
the
best
location
and
I
believe
majority.
That's
grant
funding
and
I.
Think
Sandy
was
here
from
Transportation
if
she
has
any
additional
information.
A
D
D
X
Right
now
so
we're
requesting
52
000
in
the
current
budget.
We
actually
have
some
funds
from
prior
years
that
we're
using
this
52
000,
there's
dedicated
towards
Dunkirk
ballpark
to
actually
install
the
alerta
system
and,
as
we
had
discussed,
is
we're
actually
going
through
the
process
right
now
to
determine
whether
that's
actually
the
system
we're
going
to
continue
to
go
with.
If
not
we're
going
to
pull
it
off
the
books
and
put
them
in
line
and
go
with.
X
We
actually
have
a
PO,
that's
out
with
there's
three
facilities
we
have
slated
to
and
have
the
same
system
installed
is
215
000..
So
we
have
a
meeting
with
that.
Vendor
I
want
to
say
in
two
weeks
and
at
that
point
we're
going
to
decide.
You
know
whether
we
move
forward
or
where
we
pull
the
project.
X
O
The
Prince
Frederick
feels
dedicated
for
public
transportation
buses.
As
you
know,
they're
moving
to
a
flex
card
system.
The
county
is,
but
we
really
can't
that
doesn't
work
with
how
our
buses
run
and
they
can't
wait.
We're
on
very,
like
clock
timings,
and
we
have
to
keep
up
with
those
so
having
a
dedicated
fuel
station
for
public
transportation
will
allow
us
to.
You
know,
consistently
provide
the
same
service
without
any
kind
of
delays.
O
Right
now
we
have
to
go
off
route
to
slightly
off
Route,
so
we're
looking
for
a
place
that
would
be
closer
to
our
facility
or
even
on
our
facility.
So
the
initial
funding
is
looking
at.
We
have
grant
funding
for
this
project
from
the
state
from
MDOT
MTA
and
we're
at
the
first
phase,
which
is
where
they
do
an
environmental
review
of
the
site
that
location
that
you
choose
and
then
the
next
phase
will
be.
You
know,
design
and
construction.
Where
are
you
currently
getting
if
you
Stratford
all
right.
E
O
You
Stafford
Road,
yes,
but
that's
an
aging
fuel
station.
E
E
S
S
A
S
No,
their
system
we're
looking
at
having
it
down
in
the
industrial
park
near
their
current
facility,
where
the
buses
are
stationed
in
the
evenings
off
duty
so
that
they
can
come
in
fill
up
and
leave.
Is
it
fuel,
lasting
I
believe
it
will
be
the
same
fuel
Master
System?
Yes,
that
we
currently
use
at
Stafford.
O
A
S
No
so
like
she
said,
the
system
of
Staff,
a
road
is
aging
kind
of
has
a
Band-Aid
on
it
more
or
less
it
functions.
But,
as
you
know,
there's
times
it
is
down,
and
we
can't
necessarily
have
that
for
the
transportation
buses
and
when
they
come
in
and
drop
their
funds
off
at
the
existing
facility
down
at
on
an
industrial
park,
they
can
also
fuel
up
and
leave
at
the
same
time.
So
it
makes
a
little
more
efficient
for
their
their
routing
purposes.
The.
Z
Yes,
it's
finally
available.
It
is
currently
at
a
price
that
is
not
acceptable
to
our
board,
but.
C
Z
Is
a
that
is
a
placeholder.
It
will
only
happen
if
and
when
that
gets
executed.
But
it's
it's.
It's
not
County
tax
dollar
be
coming
from
the
state.
A
B
A
A
Z
Hole
replacement
would
likely
be
done
over
at
St
Michael's,
where
they
did
Chesapeake
Bay
Maritime
Museum.
They
they
handle
repairs
and
maintenance
for
the
Tennyson
right
now,
but
that
is
also
a
placeholder.
We
do
not
have
an
immediate
need
for
the
Tennyson
Hall,
but
since
it's
such
an
expensive
item,
we
were
asked
to
put
that
in
as
well.
Okay
thanks,
yes,
sir
thank.
U
Our
next
slide
has
libraries,
community
and
senior
centers.
Our
first
is
libraries
Carrie
Wilson,
director
of
public
libraries,
is
with
us
today
and
can
answer
any
questions.
C
V
Are
Carrie
Wilson,
executive
director
of
the
library,
the
new
twin
beaches,
her
place
and
branch
is,
is
going
to
be
under
roof
in
another
few
weeks.
Good
well,
I,
don't
know
if
I
should
say
under
roof.
They're
gonna
be
starting
to
work
on
the
roof
for
a
couple
weeks,
but
thank
you.
Completion.
D
V
Good
yeah,
they
let
me
go
up
to
the
what
will
be
the
third
floor
and
the
view
is
just
incredible,
both
both
of
north
south
on
land
and
of
the
water.
It's
just
going
to
be
spectacular
until.
V
V
V
E
A
V
V
V
V
So
we
what
we
put
into
the
CIP
for
24,
is
basically
what
was
the
middle
bid
on
that
project.
But
that's
the
I
don't
know
how
we've
gotten
by
this
long.
The
Prince
Frederick
library
is
about
17
years
old
now
and
at
night.
The
cafe
area
is
just
really
really
dim,
there's
just
not
enough
light
in
the
building,
so
it's
an
important
project
but
an
expensive
one
and
we
will
re-look.
Obviously
we
look
at
the
fixtures
we've
chosen
to
see
if
we
can
get
it
cheaper,
less
expensive,
not
cheaper.
Excuse
me.
A
V
Yeah,
it's
not
as
high
as
we'd
like
it
to
be,
but
so
both
for
our
customers
that
we
need
the
actual
light
and
the
energy
saving
will
be
something.
V
Yes,
you
are
by
the
time
we're
finished
with
that
project,
including
money.
That's
in
the
governor's
budget
that
we
assume
will
be
past
the
session.
We'll
have
five
million
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
grant
money
twin.
V
V
C
E
E
U
U
P
I'm
definitely
Clover
I'm,
a
special
Department
of
Community
Resources
and
the
new
crisis.
Shelter
is
my
grant
great,
so
we
have
applied
for
and
received
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
cdbg
funds
for
that
project.
That
would
go
at
85,
Main
Street.
We
have
completed
the
acquisition
of
that
property
and
we're
in
the
design
phase.
The
design
phase
is
not
covered
by
the
grant,
it's
not
an
allowable
expense,
so
that
is
a
county
match
for
that
project.
P
A
P
So
the
total
cost
right
now
we
are
still
working
with
Mom's.
Here
we
have
not
bid
out
the
construction
yet
so
initial
estimates
were
around
one
to
two
hundred
thousand
for
the
the
construction,
the
rehabilitation,
but
obviously
that
will
be
informed
by
the
engineering
that
we're
having
done
so
once
that
engineering
exam
will
have
better
estimates
of
what
upgrades
necessarily
will
be
required.
P
We
are
facing
the
project,
so
the
lower
level
will
be
done
first,
and
that
is
where
day
services
and
programming
would
happen,
and
the
top
four
would
be
second
and
that's
where
the
as
needed
emergency,
shelter
beds
would
be,
and
we
expect
that
to
have
a
bit
more
requirements
like
if
sprinklers
media,
sprinkler
system
or
something
like
that.
That
will
obviously
inform
the
estimates.
P
But
that's
why
we
do
a
plan
to
apply
for
additional
grant
funding,
so
each
cycle
we
can
apply
for
up
to
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
and
I
plan
on
flying
for
all.
We
need
sorry,
so
yeah.
A
So,
what's
the
plan
for
emergency
bed
space
in
that
facility.
P
So
that's!
This
is
not
a
24
7
365
shelter,
so
there
aren't
dedicated
spots.
This
would
be
for
folks
who
are
not
suitable
for
safe
nights,
not
suitable
for
hoteling
and
not
suitable
for
project
Echo.
P
It
is
not
you
know,
project
Echo
people
tend
to
have
a
90-day
stay,
that's
a
standard
for
the
region
and
the
Maryland
balance
estate
requirements,
but
this
shelter
would
be
similar
to
operating
like
a
safe
nights
program
where
it
is
open
during
specific
inclement
weather
or
emergency
events.
So
as
long
as
they
are
able
to
comply
with
the
policies
and
that
they
would
be
welcome,
there
wouldn't
be
reserved
beds.
The
same
thing
we
have
will
have
an
ADA
that
in
that
space
But
that
wouldn't
we
wouldn't
leave
it
open.
P
They
work
with
the
VA
directly
there's
dedicated
case
managers
and
caseworkers
for
those
folks.
This
we
are
going
to
leverage
similar
funds
in
our
kind
of
three
year
five
year
ten
year
plan
getting
these
providers
to
bring
those
services
to
Prince
Frederick,
but
that
would
be
for
immediate
assistance.
I
would
refer
them
through
the
establish
process,
because
I
know
there
are
folks
there
that
are
willing
to
Holiday.
P
You
and,
as
we
know
more
about
like
the
criteria
and
that
sort
of
thing
we'll
share
that
we
are
still
kind
of
in
the
brain
summary
phases
for
that,
just
as
we're
transitioning
out
of
covet
emergency
policies
to
standard
normal
operating.
So
great.
Thank.

AC
C
AC
AC
Sir,
the
building
was
in
the
deteriorated
State
and
was
removed.
Most
of
all.
AC
Original
resolution
that
created
the
historic
district
specifically
specifically
stated
that
the
intact
archaeological
potential
as
a
property
that
had
been
an
African-American
ownership
for
at
that
point
over
150
years,
was
the
basis
or
was
a
basis
of
significance.
Subsequent
the
historic
area
work
permit
that
authorized.
The
demolition
also
specified
as
one
of
the
reasonings
that
the
archaeological
deposits
were.
The
significant
aspect
of
the
historic
district.
AC
No
sir,
the
the
property
is
a
designated
it
is.
It
is
an
archaeological
site
registered
with
the
state
of
Maryland
that
was
based
on
Road
expansion,
work
that
was
done
by
state
highways.
They
never
went
on
to
the
private
property,
but
they
observed
the
house
and
debris
along
the
side
of
the
road
and
using
those
together
registered
as
an
archaeological
site.
AC
A
AC
Yes,
sir,
we
will
ask
the
Planning
Commission
to
to
direct
us
to
schedule
a
public
hearing
joint
at
that
time.
Then,
in
preparation
for
that,
we
will
provide
a
presentation
further
explaining
the
designation
and
its
application
for
removal.
AC
I
would
have
to
look
that
up.
I
don't
want
to
give
you
the
correct
number
offhand.
W
A
AA
Good
morning
Commissioners
John
Norris
County
attorney.
We
find
ourselves.
The
Senate
submission
deadline
was
yesterday,
so
any
new
bills
that
come
from
the
Senate
we'll
have
to
go
through
rules.
The
house
deadline
is
this:
Friday
of
the
1300
bills
that
we've
looked
at
so
far,
they're
200
that
we've
identified
as
tracking
because
they
could
have
potential
impact
on
operations
of
direct
impact
on
operations
in
Calvert
County.
We
did
thought
think
it
was
important
to
bring
a
few
of
those
bills
to
you
today.
AA
So
so
the
Commissioners
are
aware,
and
the
public
may
not
be
house
bills
that
get
filed
get
assigned
to
a
committee.
Once
the
committee
has
a
public
hearing
on
those
bills,
they
take
a
position.
If
it's
a
favorable
position,
it
can
go
back
out
to
the
floor
for
a
vote
in
the
house
and
then
get
sent
over
to
the
Senate
where
it
can
get
assigned
to
a
committee.
AA
The
senate
committee
will
hold
the
second
public
hearing
on
that
house
bill
and
if
they
voted
out,
favorably
send
it
back
to
the
floor
of
the
Senate
and
the
Senate
will
vote
on
that
bill,
and
then
it
goes
back
to
the
house
either
with
amendments
or
without,
and
the
house
can
accept
those
amendments.
If
there's
cross
file
bills,
where
there's
the
same
bill
in
the
house
and
the
Senate,
you
can
have
different
versions.
AA
Those
if
they
get
passed
by
both
houses
go
to
a
conference
committee
to
resolve
the
differences
before
being
sent
on
to
the
governor
for
Signature,
and
then
we
get
a
law.
So
these
are
at
the
very
early
stages.
There
is
first
house
bill,
230
and
Senate
Bill
224,
so
those
are
cross
file
bills
that
are
identical.
The
title
of
the
bill
is
Department
of
the
environment,
zero
emissions,
medium
and
heavy
duty,
Vehicles
regulations.
AA
It's
called
the
clean
trucks
Act
of
2023,
requiring
the
department
of
the
environment
to
adopt
regulations
on
or
before
December
1
2023,
establishing
requirements
for
the
sale
of
new
zero
emission,
medium
and
heavy
duty
vehicles
in
the
state.
Defining
heavy
duty
vehicle
is
one
with
a
gross
vehicle
weight,
equal
or
greater
than
fourteen
thousand
one
pounds
so
greater
than
seven
tons.
AA
It
is
not
specific
to
local
jurisdictions,
but
Calvert
County
does
have
a
number
of
heavy
and
medium
duty
Vehicles.
We
were
just
talking
about
the
fuel
tanks
for
the
buses.
The
County
buses
would
be
considered
medium
duty,
Vehicles,
the
dump
trucks
that
carry
the
bins
from
the
convenience
center
to
appeal,
landfill
for
processing
or
heavy
duty
vehicles,
and,
looking
at
the
physical
note
for
this
bill,
we
see
that
the
Maryland
Department
of
the
environment
is
looking
at
following
the
California
model.
AA
California
act
rule
and
in
the
fiscal
note
which
the
department
of
legislative
Services
tries
to
determine
the
physical,
the
dollar
and
policy
implications
of
each
bill,
and
they
write
a
note,
and
that
is
indexed
with
the
bill.
On
the
on
the
website.
AA
It
does
say
that
it's
likely
to
have
an
impact
on
State
and
local
government
expenditures
for
agencies
that
purchase
medium
and
heavy
duty
Vehicles
according
to
mde.
Pursuant
to
the
California
act.
Zero
emission
vehicle
requirements
are
phased
in
the
increase
from
model
year
2025
through
2035,
and
remain
constant
thereafter.
There
may
also
need
to
be
need
to
hire
or
train
existing
technicians
to
maintain
the
zero
emission
vehicles
and
install
charging
equipment.
AA
As
you
see
from
the
what
was
provided
you,
the
department
input
on
this
was
the
federal
and
state
capital
funding
doesn't
keep
up
with
the
cost
of
these
requirements,
which,
according
to
California
standards
referenced
in
the
legislation,
required
25
percent
of
our
new
purchases
to
be
zero
emission
buses
by
2026..
Currently,
electric
buses
struggle
with
costly,
mechanical
and
battery
issues
as
a
system,
we
aim
to
transition
over
time
to
Electric,
but
do
not
have
the
funding
or
flexibility
to
dive
in
while
the
product
is
still
unreliable.
AA
These
standards
are
not
realistic
and
would
prefer
more
fiscally
responsible
phase
out.
So
if
the
board
would
like
us
to
send
written
testimony
on
your
behalf
regarding
these
bills,
we
would
be
happy
to
do
so
without
your
direction.
We're
just
going
to
continue
to
monitor
it
as
it
moves
through
the
process.
I.
C
C
C
I
mean
it's
easy
for
a
politician
to
say:
hey
do
this,
but
to
actually
have
to
implement
it
pay
for
it,
I
mean.
Do
they
even
make
the
vehicles
to
I
mean
I
heard.
The
biggest
thing
was
with
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
They
don't
even
have
vehicles
in
place.
They
can
even
do
these
things
they're,
not
even
in
production,
much
less
mandate,
you
purchase
them.
A
So
we
can,
we
have
five
bills
today,
I.
A
AA
Second,
bill
is
House
Bill,
84,
Senate,
Bill,
53
altering
beginning
in
fiscal
year,
2024
the
percentage
paid
by
the
Comptroller
from
small
from
the
small
minority
and
women-owned
business
account
to
the
non-profit,
interest-free
micro,
Bridge
Loan
Nimble
account
within
the
Maryland
nonprofit
Development
Center
Program,
requiring
the
governor
to
include
in
the
annual
budget
and
appropriation
of
million
dollars
beginning
in
fiscal
year.
2025..
AA
AA
AA
Mandating
each
individual
County
to
develop
plans
for
mass
transit
strains
the
imagination,
as
no
intra
County
system
would
pass
any
reasonable
cost-benefit
analysis
requiring
these
County
plans
without
any
capacity
to
affect
their
components.
Underscores
the
incorrect
placement
of
these
plans
at
the
county
level.
Counties
lack
the
authority
to
back
up
the
broad
visions
of
the
plan
and
almost
certainly
lack
both
the
expertise
and
resources
to
single-handedly
generate
a
product
to
the
level
of
detail
required
by
this.
AA
How
by
this
bill,
that
was
actually
testimony
on
on
the
bill
that
was
filed
in
2022,
because
this
is
coming
back
again.
The
department
advised
us
that
it
doesn't
seem
it
would
bring
anything
substantively
new
to
the
issue.
We
just
consumed
staff
time
and
County
funds,
because
we
do
already
have
a
comprehensive
plan.
We
have
flood
mitigation
plans
have
been
developed
for
the
areas
of
the
county
that
flood
most
often
that
are
specific
to
those
areas.
AA
There
are
two
bills
we're
asking
the
County
Commissioners
to
support
by
sending
letters,
if
not
testifying
in
in
person
the
house
bill,
449
Senate,
Bill,
323,
Calvert,
County,
Sunday,
hunting,
repeal
of
restrictions,
repealing
a
restriction
on
the
hours
during
which
a
person
may
hunt
on
each
Sunday
of
the
game,
bird
and
game
mammal
seasons.
AA
Support
is
consistent
with
the
request
that
came
from
the
County
Commissioners.
The
hour
restrictions
were
an
amendment
to
your
request
in
Prior
years,
Senate
Bill
103,
the
Maryland
residential
solar
investment
tax
credit.
It
has
already
had
its
hearing.
It,
however,
was
still
going
to
have
to
cross
over
to
the
house.
It
allows
a
tax
credit
against
the
state
income
tax
for
the
cost
of
certain
photovolic
property
placed
into
service
by
an
individual
during
the
taxable
year,
prohibiting
an
individual
from
claiming
the
credit
under
some
circumstances
and
providing
the
carry
forward
of
any
unused
credit.
AA
So
this
is
the
residential
rooftop
solar
bill.
This
is
not
put
it
out
in
the
middle
of
the
field
or
attach
batteries
to
it.
This
is
actually
supported
by
the
Maryland
Association
of
counties,
and
staff's
input
recommends
support
for
the
state
income
tax
credit
because
it
is
not
in
fact
impacting
local
revenues.
AA
G
AE
A
And
just
for
The
public's
information,
we
had
a
discussion
earlier
this
morning
about
solar
battery
packs,
whereby
a
solar
system
stores
the
energy
that's
not
being
consumed
and
the
significant
hazards
that
those
batteries
create
in
the
community
and
in
the
environment.
And
that's
why
you're
hearing
this
discussion
about
batteries.
C
E
W
AA
Of
the
300
Senate
bills
that
dropped
last
night
I
believe
it
was
Senate.
Bill
562
is
the
one
that
requires
the
batteries
to
be
self-contained
and
have
a
fire
suppression
apparatus,
because
we
are
hearing
that
the
there's
some
fire
companies
that
have
been
told.
If
you
see
a
lithium
battery
fire,
just
evacuate
as
far
as
you
can
down
downwind.
C
That's
why
I
was
wondering
like
on
the
solar
panels,
if
they're
on
the
houses,
what
the
rest
didn't
even
know
where
the
neighbors
know
how
deadly
that
could
be
so
because
it
sounds
great
sounds
like
you're
trying
to
save
the
environment.
You
know
I
use
solar,
you
know,
and
you
know,
trying
to
save
money
and
everything
and
make
that
investment.
But
if
there's
a
big
danger
to
it,
people
need
to
know.
D
C
AA
We've
not
seen
that
yeah
there
is.
There
is
legitimate
concern
regarding
the
safety
of
this
and
the
safety
of
the
First
Responders.
C
AA
AA
So
we're
asking
for
the
board
and
we
will
look
into
Senate
Bill
103
and
see
if
it's
been
amended
or
if
it
did
in
fact
deal
with
other
than
what
it's
feeding
the
grid.
If
it
had
battery
storage
capabilities
for
the
tax
credit.
We're
asking
for
the
board's
support,
at
least
in
the
form
of
a
letter
for
the
Sunday
hunting
repeal
of
the
time
restrictions,
and
if
the
board
would
care
to
express
opposition
on
any
of
the
three
other
bills.
A
A
Where
are
we
on
Senate
Bill
103?
Just
for
me,
we're
going
to
support
that.
E
C
AF
Good
morning
my
name
is
Jennifer
David
I'm,
the
rural
planner
in
Planning
and
Zoning
with
me
this
morning
is
Ronald
Marney.
He
is
our
environmental
regulator
in
planning
and
zoning,
and
we
are
here
to
discuss
the
rural
Legacy
expansion
per
the
memo
that
was
distributed.
AF
AF
So
the
recommendations
was
to
expand
the
North
Calvert
and
the
Calvert
Creeks
rural
Legacy
areas.
The
goal
of
this
is
to
expand
the
air
to
increase
the
number
of
properties
that
are
eligible
for
the
program.
AF
So
the
purpose
of
the
presentation
this
morning
is
to
review
and
discuss
the
proposed
rural
Legacy
area
expansion
and
to
request
direction
to
move
forward
with
the
public
adoption
process.
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
By
Priority
preservation
areas
are
those
that
are
identified
as
having
the
greatest
potential
for
maintaining
a
viable
level
of
agricultural
or
forestry
production,
and
these
areas
are
reserved
for
farming
and
natural
resource
related
uses.
With
most
of
the
residential
growth
in
the
county,
targeted
away
from
these
areas,
the
purple
on
the
map
are
the
town
centers,
and
the
orange
color
in
the
top
right
corner
is,
of
course,
the
beaches.
AF
So
again
we
have
the
North
Calvert
rural
Legacy
area
in
the
upper
in
the
north
section
of
the
county,
divided
by
the
Calvert
creeks
World
Legacy
area
to
the
center
in
the
center
in
the
south
of
the
county
and
the
orange
color
that
you
see
on
the
screen
are
the
proposed
expansion
areas.
G
Just
some
clarifications
and
some
assurances
on
those
expansions
when
we
generated
those
maps
with
our
GIS
staff,
we
made
sure
that
they
only
include
tier
four
properties.
So
there's
not
going
to
be
any
impact
of
property
owners
Beyond,
giving
them
the
option
to
pursue
these
easements,
nothing
more,
nothing
less!.
G
A
G
C
G
C
G
Think
for
the
time
being
at
this
stage,
that
this
was
a
really
good,
expansion
is
actually
quite
a
large
expansion.
I
think
it's
a
really
good
starting
point
with
our
partner
with
our
c
d,
it's
going
to
open
up
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
easements
and
for
to
utilize
some
State
funding,
hopefully
have
some
good
things
happen
from
the
preservation
front.
A
So
you
mentioned
tier
four
just
for
those
individuals
out
there
that
might
not
be
familiar
with
tier
four
in
the
O'malley
Administration
when
the
state
came
in
and
did
the
state
I
can't
even
think
of
what
the
legislation
was
called
now
created,
tears
and
tier
one
was
your
high
growth
areas.
Tier
two
was:
were
those
areas
that
sort
of
surrounded
those
high
growth
areas,
tier
three
was
on
the
verge
of
growth
or
rural
tier
four
were
your
most
rural
areas
that
were
should
be
your
highest
priority
to
protect.
G
C
E
AE
C
My
father
used
to
talk
about
the
nicest
thing
I
always
liked
in
Fall
was
watching
the
leaves,
change
and
driving
down
you
know
and,
and
all
these
water
properties
to
do
it
going
by
I
mean
it's
what
you
screw
them
up.
That's
how
I
was
saying
it
was
it.
This
is
too
limiting.
Should
it
was
there
anything
that
we
wish
we
would
have
put
on
here
while
we're
at
it.
G
I,
don't
think
at
this
stage
you
know
I
think
I'm
very
personally,
I'm
very
satisfied
from
a
preservation
standpoint.
We
made
sure
to
that.
We
were
going
for
a
contiguous
nature
for
these
World
Legacy
areas.
We
went
for
the
appropriate
size
and
again
we
didn't
want
to
venture
into
anything
that
was
tier.
Three
we're
very
cautious
with
that
I
think
personally,
and
we
can
always
go
back
for
an
additional
expansion.
G
AF
Well,
this
is
one
tool
for
doing
that,
so
this
will
open
up
a
lot
of
area
for
for
potential
for
World
Legacy
easements
working
with
our
partner,
Southern
Maryland
rcnd
has
been
very
beneficial
to
the
county
and
are
working
on
easements
in
the
future.
One
of
the
other
things
that
I've
realized
in
working
with
the
starting
to
work
with
the
programs
is
that
rural
Legacy
compared
to
our
local
TDR
AG
preservation
program.
AF
There
are
different
opportunities
so
where
there
are
forested
acres
large
tracks,
that
may
not
be
a
good
fit
for
the
one
program.
Then
this
means
that
the
other
program
may
be
available
in
a
better
fit.
So
there's
that
benefit
as
well,
not
just
surely
purely
in
terms
of
Acres,
preserved
or
potential
to
be
preserved,
but
in
times
of
the
types
of
land
that
that
it
is
and
what
qualifies
and
what
doesn't
qualify
for
the
various
programs,
because.
E
C
I'd
like
to
see
us
get
there,
you
know
I,
don't
know
how
much
I
know
we've
made
baby
steps,
but
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
us
put
something
in
place
to
let's,
let's
get
that
number
down
and
then
even
look
for
more
opportunity.
I
mean
it's
we've
seen
it
with
everything.
I
mean
from
water
to
roads
to
air.
You
know,
I
mean
we
just
I've
said
it.
We've
said
it
many
times
we're
just
not
built
for
for
all
of
that.
C
G
We
do
do
that,
it
was
I,
believe
2021
or
2020.
That
I
did
that
for
a
specific
property
owner,
it
was
actually
the
yo
property
and
they
have
completed
the
easement
process.
So
we
work
with
individual
property
owners
and
we
do
that
Outreach.
But
for
such
a
large
scope
expansion,
we
wanted
to
deliberately
make
sure
that
we
did
not
negatively
impact
the
constituency
with
the
effort
and.
G
A
G
G
A
A
rule,
the
state
programs
pay
more
money,
they're
more
restrictive,
but
they
do
pay
more
money
and
it's
a
longer
process.
That's
why
tdrs
have
been
attractive
to
some
people,
because
it's
very
simple,
quick
for
the
most
part,
but
you
get
in
the
mouth.
It
can
take
18
months
to
two
years
to
get
into
a
mile
program.
Rural
Legacy
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
time
frame
is
for
that
anymore.
I'd.
C
A
G
A
A
E
A
Know
just
putting
it
out
there.
People
have
this
conception
that
they
get
less
money
if
they
preserve
it,
and
that
is
not
true.
In
fact,
we've
seen
properties
when
I
was
there
that
were
preserved
in
a
state
program,
were
put
on
the
market
and
sold
several
years
later,
and
they
got
full
market
value
for
them,
even
though
they
were
preserved.
So
in
a
lot
of
cases
you
don't
even
lose
value
when
you
do
it
it's,
but
it's
hard
to
convince
people
of
that.
They
just
have
this
conception.
AF
And
I've
seen
a
lot
of
that
in
in
well
I've
seen
several
instances
in
my
short
time
here
where
you
know
and
that's
the
thing
that
I
particularly
care
about
is
working
with
the
people
and
making
sure
that
they
understand
what
the
program
entails,
making
sure
that
they
understand
what
their
choices
are,
making
sure
that
that
that
hand
holding
takes
place
because
there's
there's
folks
that
don't
understand
they
don't
understand
the
program.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
lot
to
learn.
It's
scary!
It's
scary!
It's.
C
G
We
work
a
lot
with
our
little
with
other
partners
and
ngos,
as
well
as
our
own
Outreach
efforts,
and
just
when
the
public
comes
to
us
to
try
and
assure
them
to
make
sure
like,
when
you're
looking
at
a
program
that
they
understand
what
they're
giving
up,
what
their
compensation
is
going
to
be
and
to
make
sure
they
understand
that
they're
still
retaining
a
vast
majority
of
their
property
rights.
It's
not
that
it's
turning
into
a
public
park
and
we're
going
to
be
walking
around
your
property.
It's
just
hey!
G
A
R
And
my
colleague,
Colleen
England
were
both
environmental
planners
over
planning
and
zoning.
We're
going
to
take
you
through
a
discussion
about
442,
000
and
change
in
the
forest
conservation
fees
and
Liu
fund
Colleen
is
going
to
start
you
off
and
tell
you
why
we
have
this
money
and
then
I'm
going
to
take
over
and
suggest
a
couple
ways
that
we
can
spend
this
money,
and
just
so
you
know
from
the
outs
of
the
the
funds,
as
I
think
someone
previously
mentioned
today.
It
is
restricted
by
state
legislation
on
how
it's
been
spend
it.
So.
AG
Calvert
County
has
442
789
dollars
and
four
cents
in
an
organizational
budget
account
117
that
stems
from
fees
in
lieu
of
developers,
not
reforcing
or
a-forcing,
on
or
off
site,
and
not
buying
Forest
conservation,
transferable
development
rights
or
fctdrs
Per
County
code.
This
fund
may
only
be
spent
on
costs
directly
related
to
reforestation
and
A4
station,
including
site
identification
acquisition,
purchase
of
permanent
easements
preparation
for
plantings,
planting
big
bid,
package,
preparation
and
supervision
of
plantings.
AG
It
may
also
be
used
to
accomplish
the
minimum
requirements
of
the
mitigation
for
which
the
fees
are
being
paid
with
any
of
the
following:
the
maintenance
of
existing
forests,
achieving
Urban,
Tree
canopy
goals,
reforestation
or
A4
station
and
the
purchase
of
Forestry
tdrs.
This
fund
may
not
revert
back
to
the
general
fund.
AG
Solutions
now
Act
of
2021
as
Forest
conservation
does
not
mitigate
this
form
of
forest
conservation,
doesn't
mitigate
loss
of
trees
due
to
development
Department
of
Planning
and
Zoning
proposes
two
programs
to
use
these
funds
A
Tree
coupon
program
and
a
grants
program
in
the
interest
of
planting
forests
that
benefit
local
Wildlife,
require
less
water
and
have
better
survivability.
Both
programs
will
only
fund
native
species.
These
two
programs
closely
mirror
programs
offered
in
other
counties
and
in
the
state.
AG
The
coupon
program
is
35
off
of
trees
that
cost
fifty
dollars
or
more
will
only
be
redeemable
at
Calvert,
County
Nurseries
and
would
run
March
1st
through
October
1st.
The
grant
program
encompasses
both
a
smaller
program
for
streams
and
steep
slopes,
which
would
be
15
or
greater
and
a
larger
program
for
planting
at
least
a
quarter
acre
of
contiguous
Forest
applicants
for
these
grants
would
be
accepted
on
a
rolling
basis.
AG
The
funds
for
this
come
from
an
account
that
must
be
spent
on
reforestation
or
A4
station
or
maintenance
of
existing
forests.
So
there
isn't
an
additional
fiscal
impact.
The
department
recommends
that
the
bocc
approve
the
tree
coupon
and
the
grant
program.
AG
Calvert
County's
program
was
added
to
the
zoning
ordinance
in
1993..
We
use
the
state
level
Forest
conservation,
technical
manual,
which
gives
us
a
little
more
details
on
how
to
apply
certain
things
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
the
tree
Solutions
now
Act
passed
in
2021
that
promotes
a
no-net
loss
of
forest.
It
changed
a
couple
of
definitions
and
it
established
the
5
million
trees
program.
AG
So
the
overall
goal
of
forest
conservation
is
to
minimize
Forest
loss,
Forest
loss,
negatively
impacts,
water
quality,
air
quality,
biodiversity
and
the
ecotourism
industry
between
2013
and
2018,
the
County
lost
about
1300
Acres
or
about
one
percent
of
our
forest
land.
Just
over
50
percent
of
that
lost
represents
land.
That's
converted
when
it's
developed
to
help
mitigate
the
loss
of
forest.
In
the
beginning
of
the
development
stages,
we
identify
priority
areas
to
help
ensure
that
these
areas
are
left
undisturbed.
AG
C
C
AG
Horrible,
so
you
can
do-
and
this
is
listed
in
here
you
can
do
commercial
logging
and
Timber
harvesting,
even
if
you're
in
recorded
Forest
retention
area-
and
that
is
something
that's
approved
by
the
state
and
Soil
Conservation-
also
plays
a
hand
in
that.
So
that
can't
be
good
for
the
area
right.
It's
not
so
we.
AG
We
don't
we
do
so,
it
is
listed
as
an
exemption.
You
can
commercially
go
in
and
log
I.
A
Well,
sometimes
they
recommend
clear
account
depending
on
what
you
have
there
and
you're
going
to
replant
to
something
else.
So
if,
if
you,
if
you
have
a
mixed
force
and
you
want
to
convert
to
Pine
because
it
grows
faster
and
you
can
recover-
you
know-
then
you
might,
they
might
recommend
you
go
in
and
clear-cut
and
replant,
but.
AG
Yep
there,
those
are
all
approved
plans
that
go
through
several
Hoops
before
they
come
to
me,
but,
like
he
said,
there
are
some
ecological
benefits.
If
you're
trying
to
manage
a
force
for
a
specific
species
type
there's
this
idea
of
ecological
succession,
so
certain
species
will
live
in
a
primary
succession
Forest.
So
your
Edge
species,
so
depending
on
how
you're
managing
your
land
would
depend
on
how
you
would
cut
Forest
after
you've
gone
in
and
taken
a
chunk
of
trees
out
a
forest
retention
area
other
than
that
should
be
left
completely
alone.
AG
A
C
C
AG
AG
I
won't
put
your
name
on
that,
so
Forest
conservation
is
triggered
when
you
have
a
project
site
or
like
a
land
parcel
that
is
40,
000
square
feet
or
bigger.
So
this
is
mostly
your
subdivisions.
Your
larger
site
plans,
some
grading
permits
and
things
like
that.
These
are
all
things
that
obviously
are
very
heavily
regulated.
Forest
conservation
is
just
one
piece
in
that
big
puzzle:
there
are
exemptions,
commercial
logging
and
Timber.
We
just
talked
about
anything
in
the
critical
area
is
off
its
own,
separate
programs.
AG
So
those
two
things
are
sort
of
separate,
but
equal
agricultural
activities
up
to
a
certain
square
footage
that
you're
cutting
every
year
are
exempt
and
then
linear
projects.
AG
So
if
you're,
building
a
road
or
a
utility
line,
if
you're
clearing
less
than
a
certain
amount
and
then
building
a
house
for
an
owner
or
their
child,
so
if
you're
familiar
with
family,
conveyance
or
interfamily
transfer
as
long
as
you're
clearing
under
a
certain
amount,
those
would
also
be
exempt,
and
these
are
all
things
that
they
have
to
formally
apply
for
and
get
signed
off
on
before
they
can
do
anything
whether.
L
A
AG
It's
it's
frowned
upon
and
that's
what
I'm
getting
to
next.
So
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
minimize
how
much
you're
clearing
in
the
first
place.
That's
why
we
call
them
forced
retention
areas.
Is
that
we're
trying
to
designate
a
place
that
you're
leaving
alone,
especially
if
it's
something
else
environmentally
sensitive?
So
if
you're
near
a
stream,
if
there's
wetlands
in
the
back
of
your
property
or
something
like
that,
those
we
try
to
keep.
We
try
to
prevent
somebody
from
touching
them.
AG
If
that's
not
doable,
which
sometimes
is
the
case
for
site
constraints,
will
have
a
lot
of
times.
They'll
go
back
in
and
plant,
so
we
call
that
A4
station
or
reforestation,
so
they'll
clear,
cut
they'll
build
what
they
need
and
then
they'll
go
back
in
and
plant
trees
and
create
a
forest
where
there
wasn't
one
or
where
there
used
to
be
one.
AG
They
can
do
that
on-site
or
they
can
do
that
off-site.
We
have
had
some
projects
in
the
past
that
don't
have
room
to
fit
it
like
on
a
commercial
site
in
the
middle
of
Prince
Frederick,
for
example.
They
might
not
have
room
to
fit
it
there,
but
they'll
fund,
sorry,
they'll
fund,
planting
for
on
a
property
somewhere
else
to
kind
of
make
up
that
difference
and
then
Forest
conservation,
tdrs
is
has
been
a
very,
very
common
use.
AG
So,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
concept
of
a
regular
TDR,
it
gets,
we
use
the
term
upgraded,
but
it
gets
re-recorded.
Instead
of
being
used
for
density,
it's
used
to
satisfy
an
acre
of
an
off-site
Forest
conservation
requirement,
and
that's
all
if
you
can't
fit
everything
you
need
on
the
site
that
you
have
once
you
exhaust
that
whole
flow
chart,
then
at
the
very
end
you
get
to
fan
mail.
So
if
you
have
a
project
that,
for
a
wide
variety
of
reasons,
you
can't
do
any
of
those
things
on
the
screen.
AG
C
I
get
it
when
you
say
brand
right,
because
I
know
what
they
want
to
do.
They
want
a
guy
who
wants
to
go
hey
if
you
move
them
all
out
of
the
way
it's
going
to
be
so
much
simpler
for
everything
right,
but
frown
doesn't
have
teeth.
So
guy
does
that
you
know
he
does
that
and
it's
frowned
what's
consequences.
AG
D
AG
C
AG
C
And
I
get
it
I
mean
you
know,
there's
some
things
you
do
have
to
mitigate
I
mean
I,
get
that
you
know,
but
I
just
don't
want
the
The,
Lazy
approach
or
the
internet
be
the
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
ain't
found
anybody
ever
said.
They
didn't
come
here
for
schools
in
the
in
the
country
way
of
life.
So
you
know
if
you
let's
slide
that
lot.
Well,
it's
just
that
one
or
that
one
next
thing.
You
know
you
got
nothing
left
right.
AG
A
AG
Not
the
same,
it's
not
quite
expensive
and
that's
why
we
we
shoot
for
minimized
clearing
to
start
with,
because
then
you're
avoiding
all
of
that.
It
doesn't
look
bad
when
you're
driving
by
and
you
you're
still
having.
You
know
your
60
and
100
year
old
trees
and
your
really
old
trees
that
are
past
a
certain
size
are
regulated
and
you
have
to
ask
for
a
variance
even
just
to
take
out
one.
Do.
AG
V
Y
Math
cook,
director
of
Planning
and
Zoning,
certainly
if
someone
is
clearing
a
neighbor's,
gonna
call
or
someone's
going
to
drive
by,
we
do
get
the
calls
through
code
enforcement
and
we
go
out
and
investigate
so
sometimes
they've
already
got
the
plan
and
we
can
tell
them
yep
they've
been
through
the
site
plan
process.
They
have
permits
to
do
this
other
times.
It's
a
violation
and
we
go
through
our
code
enforcement
process.
A
AG
C
R
R
So
how
can
we
spend
this?
Well,
according
to
the
State
Legislative
State
policy
and
our
own
code,
it's
restricted.
It
cannot
go
back
to
the
general
fund,
so
this
can't
be
diverted
into
other
programs.
R
It
must.
It
must
be
spent
within
Calvert
County,
preferably
within
the
Watershed
in
which
the
project
took
place.
That's
not
always
possible,
just
based
on
our
small
County
geographical
restrictions,
but
that
is
preferred
and
it
cannot
be
spent
in
the
critical
area
again,
because
critical
area
programming
is
separate
funding
and
then
again,
as
mentioned,
the
forest
forestry
tdrs
will
be
expiring
in
2024,
so
that
won't
be
an
option
Sophie's
and
Lou.
It
can
be
spent
on
reforestation
or
A4
station
that
includes
site
identification
acquisition
purchase
of
permanent
easements.
R
It
can
also
be
used
for
maintaining
existing
forms.
Force
Urban
Tree,
canopy
or
purchase
of
Forestry
tdrs,
but
again
that
doesn't
exist
2024.
R
So
we
have
two
basic
programs:
they
are
copied
from
the
state
and
other
counties
that
are
spending
this
money.
This
way
these
are
quick
and
dirty,
get
them
off
on
the
ground
and
running
get
the
trees
in
the
ground
programs.
The
tree
coupon
program
is
again
it
copies
the
state,
except
for
we
offer
more
money.
It's
35
off
a
tree.
Fifty
dollars
or
more
each
coupon
can
be
used
up
to
three
trees
and
two
coupons
per
residence.
So
the
potential
is
there
to
to
use
this
program
for
six
trees.
R
R
This
again
will
only
be
used
for
Native
species,
so
it
can
lessen
our
environmental
footprint
with
the
with
the
trees.
It
supports
Calvert
County
Nurseries
I've,
reached
out
to
14
her
back
from
I
made
contact
with
seven
and
their
support.
Soft
support
from
four
four
nurseries
and
one
is
reaching
out
to
their
district
manager,
so
there's
interest
there.
Many
of
these
nurseries
are
already
participating
in
the
state
coupon
program.
You
can
double
coupon
with
the
state
and
the
county
coupon.
R
R
The
second
program
is,
it
consists
of
two
grants.
They're
pretty
similar.
One
is
a
larger
program
for
you.
Have
you
want
to
plant
at
least
a
quarter
acre
of
contiguous
land
in
into
forest,
and
this
other
one
is
smaller,
and
that's
if
you
have
a
stream
on
your
property
or
a
steep
slope,
and
you
want
to
save
help
stabilize
that
slope.
R
So,
with
this
trees
for
streams
and
slopes,
grant
that
always
trips
me
up
it
doesn't
it
does
incorporate
smaller,
shrubs
to
a
smaller
degree,
just
to
help
really
stabilize
that
steam
that
strength
bank
and
reduce
nutrient
and
sediment
erosion
into
our
waterways.
R
R
R
So
so
that's
why
we
have
that
dedicated
streams
and
slopes
Grant
for
people
who
have
a
little
bit
of
land,
that's
starting
to
erode.
This
is
going
to
help
offset
the
cost
of
stabilizing
those
Banks
and
you're
going
to
be
preventing
that
the
the
sediment
runoff
and
nutrient
runoff
from
entering
those
waterways,
because.
C
And
not
to
Spotlight
into,
but
there's
certain
Creeks
that
just
fail
miserably
every
year
I
mean.
How
far
will
this
grant
go?
I
mean
you
know:
does
a
person
have
to
go
back
to
the
process
of
they've
got
to
apply,
go
through,
I
mean
I,
hate
saying
it,
but
human
nature,
drive-through
windows
are
there
for
a
purpose
right.
You
know.
If
we
wanted
to
get
out
the
car
and
walk
in,
we
would
drive
the
hell
to
get
out
the
car.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
you.
AD
R
So
the
Grant
application
process
is
pretty
painless.
You
don't
have
to
hire
a
survey
or
you
don't
have
to
hire
a
professional
to
come
map
out
your
land.
Luckily,
with
technology
and
our
and
our
county
maps,
we
are
able
to
look
at
the
property.
Make
sure
that
it's
not
already
forested
and
it
consists
of
a
hand-drawn
map-
is
perfectly
acceptable
and
food
photographs.
C
How
do
we
identify
it
and
go
out
to
the
people
and
say
Hey,
you
know
you
would
qualify
for
this
grant
I
mean
if
we're
really
serious
about
trying
to
protect
these
waterways
and
doing
everything
we
can
it's
great
to
have
it
here,
but
I
mean
I.
Look
at
the
YouTube
things.
A
couple
hundred
people
might
view
this
thing.
You
know
90
000
people
live
here,
I
mean
to
really
to
really
put
teeth
in
it
and
put
shoulder
behind
it.
I
mean
it's
going
to
take
a
door-to-door
type
effort.
To
be
quite
honest,.
R
It
is,
and
I
do
want
to
bring
one
other
thing
to
your
attention.
The
grant
funding
would
be
available,
the
land
would
stay
forced
in
perpetuity,
and
if
you
take
that
land
out
of
forest,
then
you
would
have
to
reimburse
the
entire
Grant
fund.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
it's
not
just
a
free.
You
know
it
would
carry
with
with
land
ownership.
C
That
you
know,
but
we.
R
We
have
a
program,
we
have
a
list
drawn
up
and,
furthermore,
it
is
identify.
It
has
different
attributes
of
the
different
trees
like
if
you
want
deer
resistance,
if
you're
nervous
about
health
effects
on
your
horses,
all
you
know
if
it
has
a
large
Tap
Root
for
your
again.
If
it
we
have
to
worry
about
our
septic
systems
right.
So
all
those
attributes
of
our
native
species
in
Calvert
County
are
already
drawn
up
on
a
list
and
that
would
be
provided
to
the
nursery
and
on
our
website.
There's.
AG
An
existing
list
on
the
website,
this
one
is
a
little
more
detailed,
more
geared
for
the
homeowner,
who
is
probably
not
a
tree
expert,
and
rather
than
them
having
to
Google
and
figure
out
on
their
own,
which
species
they
would
want
to
buy
from
the
nursery.
This
would
be
a
list
that
would
make
it
a
little
easier
I.
A
C
Go
by
the
trees,
bring
them
there
and
plant
them.
I
mean
it's
that
type.
You
know
what
I
mean.
So
you
know
it's
really
would
be
a
very
you're
gonna,
a
lot
of
Education.
It's.
C
C
I
mean
and
that's
the
groups
that
commissioner,
has
a
great
point:
I
mean
what
are
the
4-H,
kids
or.
W
AG
You
can
hook
up.
There
are
other
counties
that
have
very
similar
Grant
programs
that
will
they
I
mean
they
come
right
out
and
say
if
you're
hot
I
mean
if
you're
hot,
if
you're
doing
a
quarter
of
an
acre,
there's
a
good
chance.
You
might
hire
somebody
to
come
out
and
do
it,
and
so
it's
not
necessarily
that
you
as
the
individual
have
to
drive
your
truck
to
the
nursery
and
fill
it
full
of
trees
and
go
dig
all
the
holes
you.
A
C
D
A
A
A
S
S
So
with
me,
I
have
a
steering
committee
to
my
left:
I
have
a
Debbie
Jennings
director
of
traffic
services
and
special
projects
for
Chesapeake
Regional
Safety
Council
to
my
right.
I
have
First
Sergeant
officer
Dean
in
the
audience.
I
have
Jessica
catano,
planner
2
from
planet
and
zoning
and
Bruce
Brevard
first
sergeant,
State
Police,
so
I
can
either
jump
into
the
presentation
or
we
can
read
the
memo.
AH
S
AH
AH
We're
going
to
discuss
the
Strategic
roadway
safety
plan
items
covered
will
be
the
state's
highway
safety
plan.
Why
Calvert
and
other
Counties
have
been
requested
to
develop
a
local
plan
and
a
draft
of
items
that
will
be
included
in
the
Calvert
plan.
We
are
seeking
your
approval
to
move
forward
with
the
plan's
development
and
continuing
support
of
it
through
the
Calvert
County
Traffic
Safety
Council,
and
that
will
also
be
addressed.
AH
Maryland
strategic
highway
safety
plan
and
you'll
see
that
I
will
call
it.
The
shsp
is
a
Statewide
highway
safety
plan
that
is
put
in
place
to
reduce
Highway
fatalities
and
serious
injuries
on
all
public
streets
and
highways.
The
MDOT
secretary
has
made
an
annual
request
to
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
during
the
CTP
tour
that
occurs.
Every
fall
for
a
local
plan
to
be
developed.
AH
Having
a
local
plan
will
allow
organizations
to
share
information
and
resources
about
Trends,
planned
traffic
safety
programs
efforts,
local
safety
data
such
as
high
crash
locations
and
risky
behaviors.
A
local
plan
would
also
make
the
county
eligible
for
additional
grant
funding.
Federal
Highway
Safety
Improvement
funding
known
as
hsip
funding
is
made
available
to
states
that
have
strategic
highway
safety
plans
and
Maryland
offers
it
as
a
potential
funding.
Opportunity
to
counties
that
have
local
plans
in
place.
AH
AH
Examples
of
some
Maryland
counties
that
have
applied
for
and
received
hsip
funding
in
the
past
to
include
Cecil
County.
They
received
76
500
to
install
pedestrian
hybrid
beacons.
Baltimore
county
is
going
to
receive
225
000
to
install
raised
crosswalks
and
Montgomery
County
is
going
to
receive
720
000
to
install
protected
pedestrian,
Crossings
Crossings
and
in
each
of
those
cases
the
county
put
forth
10
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
project
I'm
going
to
talk
about
Calvert
a
little
bit
as
you
can
see.
AH
The
data
shows
that
on
average,
Calvert
has
1115
crashes,
339
injury
crashes,
38
Serious
injury
crashes,
of
which
five
are
typically
unbelted
and
eight
fatal
crashes.
There's
a
five-year
trends,
the
behaviors
involved
and
those
crashes.
Three
of
the
eight
are
typically
impaired
and
that's
drug
or
alcohol.
Three
of
eight
are
typically
unbelted.
AH
In
reference
to
Calvert's
strategic
highway
safety
plan
efforts,
we've
decided
to
call
it
a
strategic
roadway
safety
plan.
It
seems
to
make
more
sense,
based
on
the
the
makeup
of
our
roads
and
the
partners
that
we
have
in
place.
AH
Calvert's
initial
efforts
will
be
a
plan
from
2023
through
2025
and
from
that
point
forward
it
will
be
aligned
with
the
state's
release
of
their
five-year
annual
shsp
plan.
The
efforts
over
the
next
few
years
will
be
focused
on
Gathering
data
Partnerships
and
determining
the
success
of
existing
programs.
New
Traffic
Safety,
Council
Members
will
be
recruited.
They
will
be
organizations
that
can
build
strategic
efforts
towards
success,
of
driving
down
serious
injuries
and
fatal
crash
numbers.
AH
We
expect
the
speeding
and
aggressive
driving
strategy
to
use
enforcement
of
egregious
or
unsafe
speeds
make
use
of
available
resources,
including
social
media,
National
campaigns,
data-driven
education
for
high-risk
populations
and
identify
high
incident
location
statements
and
intersections,
and
in
this
case,
you'll,
see
that
the
last
strategy
given
involves
engineering,
and
that
is
a
component
of
the
plan
intentionally
so
that
we
can
start
documenting
the
need
for
hsip
funding,
which
is
infrastructure.
Improvements
on
a
pair
driving
strategies.
You'll
see,
enforcement
of
impaired
driving
laws,
again
alcohol
and
or
drugs
make
use
of
those
same
available.
AH
Resources
for
National
campaigns,
Implement
education
for
drugs,
alcohol
stress
and
fatigue
related
driving
and
we've
seen
usually
one
or
two
crashes
fatal
crashes
every
year
here
that
involve
fatigue,
identify
impaired,
related
high
incident
location
segments
and
intersections
and
determine
engineering
countermeasures
to
reduce
impaired
driving
and
once
again,
we're
trying
to
do
it
comprehensively
through
education
enforcement
engineering
and
Outreach
the
same
for
the
distracted
driving
strategies.
AH
Last
last
strategy
we're
still
developing
this
one,
it's
going
to
involve
vulnerable
Road
users,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
address
those
populations
that,
even
though
they
may
not
have
a
high
number
of
fatalities
each
year,
they're
consistent.
It's
our
pedestrians.
We
may
have
one
a
year
or
golf
carts
are
four-wheelers
are
bicyclists
or
older
drivers
or
younger
drivers.
They
may
not
be
prevalent
throughout
the
entire
crash
data,
but
they
are
occurring
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
that
are
most
vulnerable
are
addressed.
A
No
I
don't
want
to
put
this
Deputy
on
the
spot,
but
and
I
don't
want
to
get
commissioner
Hart
fired
up,
but
legalization
of
marijuana
isn't
that
going
to
create
significant
issues
for
you
all
doing,
traffic
enforcement?
Yes,
yes!
So
what
is
there
any
kind
of
a
plan?
Or
is
there
any
experience
like
in
Colorado
that
you
all
can
use
to
help
with
that.
AH
So
I'm,
representing
I'm
volunteering
to
the
county,
to
put
this
plan
in
place,
but
I
also
have
it's
awkward
to
to
describe
sometimes
but
I
I
have
a
real
job
and
they
have
allowed
me
to
participate
in
this
plan
development,
as
well
as
develop
initiatives
that
support
not
only
Calvert
but
other
counties
around
the
state
and
other
states
as
well.
AH
One
of
the
most
Innovative
programs
and
it's
the
first
in
the
country
to
be
done
for
non-law
enforcement
people
is
what
is
called
a
green
web
and
the
green
lab
is
basically
a
cannabis
version
of
a
wet
Workshop
where
law
enforcement
would
get
the
opportunity
to
evaluate
impaired
by
alcohol
people
and
practice.
The
assessments
we're
doing
the
same
thing
for
Calvert
on
April
5th
company,
Four's,
Rescue
Squad.
C
So
let
me
ask
you
so
so
did
you
you
know
alcohol's
tried
and
tested?
You
know
you
know
it
Point,
whatever
level,
no
matter
your
body
weight
type.
What
have
you
majority
studies
test
if
you're
at
this
proficiency?
That
proficiency?
Is
there
any
Aid
to
the
officer
whatsoever
to
say?
Okay,
because
you
have
medical
marijuana,
which
is
now
legal
through
the
state
that
at
a
certain
level
that
they're
not
in
that
they're
too
impaired
to
drive
the
vehicle
or
not
I
mean?
Is
there
actually
a
bona
fide
test?
AH
AH
There
are
resources
out
there
that
are
being
piloted
around
the
country.
As
I
mentioned,
my
employer
is
allowing
me
to
participate
in
helping.
AH
I'll
pass
it
on,
but
there
are
resources
out
there,
including
there's
a
druid
app
that
allows,
in
our
case
employees
to
assess
their
level
of
impairment
based
on
Baseline
studies.
There's
a
application
called
hound
dog,
which
is
an
oral
swab
test
that.
AH
AE
So
to
answer
your
question:
commissary,
yes,
sir,
our
countermeasures
or
training
share,
believes
and
training.
Every
road
Deputy
is
pushed
through
the
advanced
roadside
impairment,
detection,
which
is
basically
going
to
allow.
AE
Set
to
look
beyond
the
alcohol,
you
have
to
look
for
indicators
of
impairment
from
marijuana
or
some
other
substance
and
from
there
they
will
make
the
the
DRS
based
off
their
their
the
drug
recognition.
Now
experts
are
brought
in
to
do
the
full
evaluation,
so
you
know
we're
we're
adjusting
as
needed
as
laws,
change
and
so
forth.
AE
But
to
our
countermeasure
at
this
point
is
training
we're
trying
to
give
our
deputies
the
best
tools
they
have
from
counteract,
but
I
can
tell
you
from
personal
experience
from
managing
and
running
majority
of
our
DUI
checkpoints.
So
writing
checkpoints
over
the
last
10
years
is
that
we're
seeing
a
significant
decrease
in
impaired
from
alcohol
and
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
marijuana
presence
alone.
AE
C
A
C
Get
on
that
road,
you
know
once
you
get
on
that
road,
it's
a
game
changer,
because
we
all
have
family
and
friends
and
all
out
there
I
mean
I
mean
you
know
it's
no
secret.
What
I
do
for
a
living
and
I
and
I
worked
in
the
beer
industry
for
years
plastered
all
inside
the
distributorship
was
about.
You
know
your
weight,
what
you
could
drink
you're
on
their
insurance
policies.
C
You
know,
you're
representing
this
car
I
mean
so
so
we
it
was
drummed
into
us
about
drinking
and
driving,
because
it's
the
industry
you're
in
there's,
Spotlight,
really
on
you.
You
know,
and
it's
just
we
all
said
the
same
thing.
None
of
us
want
anybody
hurt,
you
know,
I
mean,
and
so
you
know
it's.
How
do
we
protect?
C
You
know
the
other
drivers.
What
tools
do
we
have
available
and
like
say
it?
This
is,
it
always
seems
like
in
the
state
of
Maryland
Maryland.
Just
does
it
and
says
figure
it
out
and
so
going
across
your
answers,
Point?
What
has
Colorado
found
out
or
some
of
these
others
that
will
Aid
and
you
know
once
you
lose
child,
a
loved
one
or
whatever
you
don't
get
them
back.
So
you
know.
A
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
mean
to
yeah,
you
know
yeah,
so
it
appears.
State
Highway
is
replacing
the
guard
rails
on
Route
4
on
the
south
end
of
the
county
and
they're
moving
them
all
closer
to
the
road.
So
it's
like
bumper
cars
now
when
you
drive
them
down,
the
road
I
mean
is
that
the
safety
plan
is
that
what
we're
going
to
do
create
bumper
cars
everywhere
now.
S
I
have
not
heard
why
State
Highway
is
choosing
that,
but
they
have
I
do
want
to
know.
The
guardrail
requirements
have
changed
throughout
the
state,
especially
for
the
height
above
pavement.
So
my
assumption
is:
they're
probably
need
to
replace
them
anyways
because
they
don't
meet
the
regulations
for
the
height
himself,
and
someone
shows
that
they
would
probably
be
better
off
to
have
them
closer
to
the
road
and
stop
the
vehicle
from
going
down
into
the
Ravine.
Further.
A
So
for
those
of
you
that
travel
up
and
down
Route
4
south
of
Plantronic,
if
you
see
all
those
Stakes,
if
there's
not
a
guard
rail
there,
now,
there's
a
guard
rail
coming
and
you
know
when
they
first
put
the
ones
on
the
south
end,
because
I
travel
sophomore's
time
the
Rope
ones
down
like
Perrin
Road
when
they
first
went
in
I
thought.
Oh
my
God,
they
were
so
ugly.
Well
now,
I've
gotten
used
to
them.
I!
Don't
pay
attention
to
them,
but
you
know
we
try
to
keep
this
County
University.
A
I
can't
so
you
know,
I
get
two
fingers
instead
of
one,
but
so,
but
you
know,
and
the
other
thing
that
bugs
me
if
I'm
on
a
the.
A
A
That's
how
we're
funding
the
state,
local
state,
police,
barracks,
deputies,
writing
tickets,
I'm.
AE
AE
We
we.
E
AE
Initiatives
we
set
up.
Typically,
the
grant
fund
initiatives
that
we
pass
on
education
to
our
real
Patrol
deputies
as
well,
is
to
counter
enforce
that.
So,
if
we
have
an
officer
who's
on
a
traffic,
stop
we'll
have
a
secondary
unit
just
to
monitor
that
move
over
same
thing
with
the
crashes
and
so
forth,
we're
assisting
with
our
tow
truck
operators.
We
do
enforce
those
measures
over
the
violations.
I.
E
AE
You
typically
a
lot
of
times
it's
education,
it's
lack
of
Education
from
the
public.
That's
what
I
want
you
to
touch
on
absolutely
so
we'll
still
make
contact
nine
times
out
of
tenants.
The
the
depth
is
discretion
on
how
the
disposition
stop
education
can
be
from
a
warning
as
well
as
a
citation
so
yeah,
I,
guess,
sir.
We
are
doing
counter
measures.
You
know
with
all
of
our
initiatives.
W
A
AH
C
I
was
shocked
to
hear
how
many
people
run
red
lights.
That's
mind-blowing,
it's
asking
to
die,
I
mean
so
you're,
seeing
more
and
more
of
people
ignoring
red
lights.
AE
A
AE
C
W
A
Q
AA
You,
sir,
the
board,
adopted
a
resolution
in
1989
intending
to
maintain
the
order
and
decorum
of
the
governmental
process
a
copy
is
found
here
to
my
right.
The
ethics
commission
has
asked
us
that
we
remind
speakers
of

Good
afternoon
Commissioners
I'm
Leonard,
zuza
I
live
in
Solomon's
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Calvert
citizens.
United.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
address
you
on
January
25th.
The
Supreme
Court
ruled
that
the
County's
2019
comprehensive
plan
was
not
invalidated
by
former
commissioner
mcconkey's
unethical
vote
to
move
his
property
into
an
expanded
hunting
in
town
center,
but
you
will
still
have
difficulty
implementing
this
plan
in
accord
with
the
county
Target
of
37
600
residences
through
2040,
because
Calvert's
growth
will
likely
exceed
that
2040
Target
for
residences
by
2024..
T
Why
is
such
a
metric,
important
state
regulations
require
counties
to
manage
growth
in
a
rational
way
that
is
beneficial
to
the
public?
This
is
in
the
Maryland
code.
Your
most
fundamental
obligation
is
to
manage
growth
so
that
it
does
not
exceed
the
capacity
of
critical
facilities.
These
include
limiting
traffic
growth
so
as
not
to
worsen,
Road
congestion,
continuing
to
provide
public
water,
maintaining
the
capacity
to
process
increase
sewage
and
ensuring
the
ability
of
schools
to
accommodate
new
students.
T
State
and
County
officials
work
together
to
set
the
number
of
residences
in
2040
to
provide
you
a
data
point
to
manage
growth.
So
you
can
continue
providing
Services
the
previous
bocc,
provided
you
revised
metrics
to
inform
your
decisions
on
growth
by
upgrading
the
adequate
public
facilities
criteria.
These
will
provide
you
staff
and
the
public
reliable
indicators
of
the
impact
of
proposed
growth
on
County,
Services
and
budgets.
T
Why
is
CCU
calling
your
attention
to
the
number
of
residences
in
the
county,
given
the
growth
of
residences
in
2015,
when
the
2040
Target
of
37
000
units
was
set
and
the
Baseline
for
existing
residences
was
Thirty,
one
thousand
County
officials
could
authorize
six
thousand
new
residences
over
the
next
25
years
at
the
rate
of
240
a
year.
However,
subsequent
County
approvals
of
new
subdivisions
significantly
exceeded
that
rate.
T
T
Second,
the
county
approved
construction
of
two
thousand
three
hundred
fifty
eight
new
units
between
2016
and
2022..
That
combined
growth
significantly
increased
the
total
number
of
new
residences
built
since
2015..
This
means
that
the
county
will
likely
reach
the
thirty
seven
thousand
six
hundred
Target
by
2024..
This
calls
into
question
how
much
New
Growth
the
county
can
support
without
overloading
facilities.
Second,
by
reaching
this
level
next
year
and
effectively
eliminating
a
new
growth,
Target
County
officials
will
have
eliminated
any
growth
Target
for
the
next
16
years.
T
Planning
staff
will
have
no
metric
for
evaluating
how
many
new
residences
they
can
approve
annually.
Should
it
be
five:
a
year
50
a
year
150
a
year
500
a
year,
they
will
have
no
metric
for
determining
that.
Given
the
absence
of
a
new
residential
Target,
the
budget
officials
will
have
no
statistical
framework
for
determining
what
new
facilities
will
be
required
to
meet
growth
generated
demands
on
facilities.
T
Without
these
guidelines,
it
will
be
impossible
to
determine
what
new
facilities
will
be
needed
to
fund
the
capital
Improvement
program
to
avoid
Calvert
decision
makers
having
no
data
to
make
informed
decisions
covered.
Citizens
united
suggests
the
following
number
one:
direct
County
staff
to
consult
with
Maryland
Departments
of
the
environment
and
planning
to
revise
the
2040
residential
growth
Target
to
determine
how
many
more
new
residences
that
County
can
approve
through
2040
without
exceeding
the
capacity
of
public
facilities.
T
Second,
director
County
Planning,
Commission
and
planning
and
zoning
department
to
include
the
revised
apfo
metrics
in
documents
they
use
to
process
permit
applications
for
major
new
developments.
This
would
enable
caliber
officials
and
residents
to
see
what
the
impact
of
this
proposed
growth
would
have
on
facilities
and
budgets.
T
This
transparency
will
greatly
increase
the
confidence
of
County
residents
so
that
they
can
evaluate
the
impact
of
future
growth
on
their
wealth,
safety
and
Welfare.
This
is
a
function
of
transparency
that
we
would
appreciate.
Seeing
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
this
upper
this
information
with
you
and
the
views
of
Calvert
citizens.
United.
T

My
request
is
for
the
catch
a
large
Heritage
House
historical
district
designation
to
be
removed
from
my
property
on
Olivet
Road
in
Lusby,
because
the
historic
district
no
longer
meets
the
criteria
of
Calvert
County
code,
chapter
57,
article
3,
section
57
HD
that
says
exemplifies
the
cultural,
economic,
social,
political
or
historic,
Heritage
of
the
county
and
its
communities
in
the
specific
criteria
for
which
it
was
originally
originally
designated
by
resolution
number
26-18,

I'm

was
granted
correctly

The

Department

that
the

immediate
vicinity
of
the
former

is
a
registered

archaeological
site
for
Maryland
historic
trust
site
number
18cv538.
This
is
to
point
out
that
that
site
type
and
focus
is,
it
says,
mid
20th
century
frame
house.
E
AB
Which
is
the
old
house
that
is
gone
at
the
HDC
Mead
regular
meeting
on
November,
the
9th

I
pointed
out
that
resolution
number
2618
statement.
The
grounds
around
the
house
have
been
virtually
undisturbed
since
the
Kent,
my
great-grandparents
purchased
the
property,
making
an
in-tech
archaeological
archaeological
record
of
African-American
family
that
spans
more
than
120
years
as
a
misrepresentation.
It
is
false
because
my
great-grandparents
inherited
the
property
they
built.

E
AI
Friends
of
Hunting
Creek,
but
I
won't
take
five
minutes,
I'm
sorry,
but
with
all
the
land,
preservation
and
Forest
preservations
things
that
I
saw
today
and
the
kind
of
Hoops
you
have
to
jump
through
to
knock
down
a
forest
when
you're
developing
something
brings
to
mind
what
happened
again
at
our
favorite
place
at
Calvert
Hills,
where
they
knocked
down
a
perfectly
good
forest
and
the
result
was
unmitigated
erosion.
Sediment
Transportation
into
the
Watershed
of
mde
seemed
to
be
absent
and
I
know
they
were
short.
Short-Handed
I've
looked
at
all
the
psych
plans.
AI
The
the
site
plans
site
plan,
Redline
I've
asked
people.
Is
there
any
other
place?
You
know
where
they
would
have
gotten
permission
to
knock
down
all
those
trees
just
to
put
in
file
and
the
Contour,
which
is
essentially
a
half
funnel
that
funnels
all
that
water
into
one
place,
creating
a
heavily
incised
sediment
carrying
a
disaster
Downstream.
When
you
look
at
the
old
topo
maps
which
luckily
they
haven't
replaced
so
I
can
see
what
it
looked
like
in
the
past.
You
see
a
tiny
little
Creek
in
there
intermittent
when
you
go
and
look
at
it.
AI
AI
A
well-managed
intermittent
creep,
nothing
going
on
there,
you
know
it's
perfectly
stable
and
they
replace
it
with
something
that
last
time,
I
was
able
to
do
the
measurements
of
a
creative
Ravine
that
was
at
least
100
yards
of
dirt,
and
that
doesn't
count
the
stuff
that
was
transported
down
from
that
stockpile.
Stockpile's
still,
there
MD
says
it's
great,
it's
just,
but
the
reason
it's
great
is
because
they
bypass
that
and
in
an
uncontrolled
Manner,
and
it
basically
goes
around
where
they
used
to
have
the
pond.
AI
So
maybe
a
third
of
the
water
goes
down
there
and
I
was
thinking
to
myself.
Why
not
put
some
trees
back
there?
Why
not
there's
programs
for
that?
Maybe
maybe
somebody
knows
how
to
do
that,
but
but
if
you
think
that
it
doesn't
happen,
believe
me
it
happens.
You
all
know
it
happens.
Trees
get
knocked
down,
people
ignore
it.
Maybe
there's
a
variance
done
in
some
dark
little
meeting
that
says:
oh
yeah,
you
can
knock
down
anything.

Good
morning,
Commissioners
or
good
after
afternoon,
at
this
point
my
name
is
Joe
Corby
I'll,
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself.
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
today
and
thank
the
staff
who
put
together
all
these
presentations
today.
I
know
they
don't
happen
overnight
or
by
Magic
I
know
it
takes
a
lot
of
hands
behind
the
scenes,
and
it's
not
just
people
in
front
of
you
who
are
reading
them,
but
I
just
want
to
say
how
much
I
appreciate
all
the
support
staff
that
are
going
to
putting
these
presentations
together.
AD
I
want
to
put
my
appreciation
out
to
the
Sheriff's
Office.
We
had
an
SRO
at
Windy,
Hill
Middle,
who
had
a
great
information
tonight
for
Internet
safety
and
really
hit
home
with
my
kids.
I
appreciate
the
Sheriff's
Office
being
part
of
that,
and
as
we
look
through
this
thing,
we
talk
about
all
the
different
ways.
We
can
be
efficient.
AD
I
hope
that
you're
going
to
work
with
the
school
board,
not
just
on
their
budget
but
to
find
ways
you
guys
can
partner
on
things
like
if
you're,
going
to
put
together
a
transportation
program
for
peel
use.
I
hope
that
you
involve
them,
because
the
more
you
guys
can
buy
stuff
in
bulk
that
you're,
both
using
for
the
same
purposes
I
think
that's
going
to
say
the
taxpayers
money
again.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
who
put
all
this
stuff
together
and
you
guys
have
a
great
day.

Attended
my
weekly
Mako
meeting
on
Wednesday
and
then
Saturday
I
attended
a
Tri-County
Maryland
alumni
chapter
of
Delta
Sigma
Theta,
sorority
I
was
on
a
panel
and
I
was
on
a
panel
with
Inez
Claggett,
the
sheriff
of
Charles
County,
the
head
of
the
Charles
County
Commissioners,
and
a
board
of
ed
member
from
Charles
County
and
was
kind
of
a
surprise.
But
I
held
my
own
and
I.
C
You,
commissioner,
Hart,
as
you
know,
it's
budget
season,
so
myself
and
commissioner
Hance,
we
met
with
superintendent
of
schools
on
one
day
and
the
part
of
the
day
came
back
and
met
with
a
couple
board.
Members
from
the
Board
of
Ed
seems
like
budget
season
never
ends,
but
so
it's
going
to
be
blueprint
Maryland's
going
to
be
a
lot
to
digest
this
year.
So.
A
Thank
you
so
last
Thursday
I
attended
the
Maryland
AG
dinner
up
at
Maryland
Live
and
didn't
get
to
meet
the
new
governor,
but
he
was
there
and
gave
a
presentation,
an
excellent
presentation
and
had
lunch
yesterday
with
the
new
AG
secretary
I
think
he
was
picking
my
brain
that
didn't
take
very
long,
but
I
want
to
wish
him
all
the
best.
You
know
agriculture
is
very
important
to
the
state
of
Maryland.
A
Is
the
number
one
industry
and
you
hear
me
talk
once
in
a
while
about
how
important
it
is
to
me,
especially,
and
we
talked
about
Timber
earlier.
If
you
weren't
paying
attention
and
most
of
you
know,
I
do
own
a
farm
and
I
have
Timber
on
that
farm
and
two
years
ago,
during
covet
the
price
of
Timber
spiked
tremendously.
That's
why
a
two
before
was
12
or
whatever
it
was,
and
I
pondered
the
thought
of
selling
my
Timber,
but
commission
I
just
can't
stand
the
sight
of
when
they
harvest
Timber
and
I.
A
Do
it
you
know
I,
like
looking
at
my
forest
and
those
beautiful
old
trees
and
not
that
I'm
a
tree
hugger,
but
you
know,
even
selective
harvest
is
a
little
messy
and,
as
commissioner
always
said,
you
know
a
few
years,
you
don't
even
notice
it
but
I
like
those
trees
and
so
I'm
going
to
keep
my
trees.
A
But,
as
commissioner
Hart
mentioned,
we
did
meet
with
the
new
superintendent
last
Friday
talking
about
the
new
budget.
As
we
get
into
the
budget,
you
will
see
that
it's
it's
a
little
eye-opening
the
current
request
and
last
night
we
did
meet
with
the
president,
the
vice
president
of
school
board.
Talking
about
various
issues.
A
You
know
this
budget's
going
to
be
a
challenge
as
they
all
are.
You
know
it's
it's.
What
I've
learned
is
in
this
budget,
where
we
have
to
work
with
various
components.
Last
night
the
vice
president
of
the
Board
of
Education
said,
but
this
money's
for
the
kids.
You
have
to
give
it
to
them.
Well,
if
you
follow
our
budget
presentation,
most
of
the
requests
we
get
are
very
important.
A
They
meet
needs
of
citizens
and
they're
all
important,
but
when
you
sit
in
this
chair,
you
have
to
make
decisions
and
they're
not
easy
decisions,
as
these
three
new
members
will
find
out,
but
there's
only
so
much
money
and
you
know
you
spend
that
money
as
efficiently
and
as
effectively
as
you
can.
But
you
can't
say
yes
to
everybody,
you
know
I
understand
it's
for
the
kids.
A
I
understand
it's
for
this
or
for
that,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
these
five
individuals
up
here
make
decisions
that
they
think
are
in
the
best
listeners
to
the
county
and
they're,
never
easy,
but
we're
in
budget
season
and
as
commissioner
Hart
says
it
seems
like
it
never
ends
we'll
get
a
little
break
in
July
and
August
and
then
we'll
start
back
up
again
in
September
start
working
on
next
year's
budget.
So
just
want
to
reinforce
the
fact
all
of
you
out
there
that
it's
a
tough
process.
It's
not
easy.
A
We
all
wish.
We
could
say
yes
to
everybody,
but
that
can't
happen.
So
it's
going
to
be
fun
for
these
three
new
Commissioners
I.
Remember
my
first
budget.
So
I'll
stop
babbling.
That's
enough!.
C
That's
a
valid
point.
You
know,
I
was
fortunate
when
I
came
on
the
first
time.
C
You
know
you
remember
the
rainy
day
fund,
they
used
to
say
it
was
raining
when
it
got
here
to
a
tune
of
about
8
million
a
year
coming
out
of
general
fund.
Just
to
balance.
There
was
no
steps,
no
colas,
it
was
raining.
You
know
we
get
short-term
memory
and
thank
goodness
those
commissioners
put
money
in
that
fund
so
that
we
didn't
have
interruptions
and
services
and-
and
you
know
you
get
a
bad
snowstorm
and
you
have
a
million
dollars
of
snow
removal.
I
mean
sounds
of
certain
them,
but
it's
not.
C
You
know.
It's
and
I
think
the
message
especially
and
I'm,
hoping
people
really
support.
This.
As
commissioner
hand
said,
you
can't
say
yes
to
everybody,
but
why
you
can't
say
yes
is
because,
and
when
you
say
it's
for
the
kids,
it
is
for
the
kids.
That's
a
great
valid
point.
It
is
for
the
kids.
It
is
so
that
they
don't
have
to
pay
for
it.
You
know
it's
it's
it's
it's
it's
so
easy.
You
know
you
can
say
yes
to
everything
and
never
have
to
buy
a
steak.
C
The
rest
of
your
life,
be
somebody
Pat
you
on
the
back,
tell
you
how
great
it
is,
but
but
their
grandkids
gonna
hate
you
So.
Eventually
that
bill
comes
due
and
it
has
to
be
paid
and
and
it's
it's
not
a
very
popular
position
to
say
no,
but
but
really
it's
is
for
the
Next
Generation
I
mean
we
say
we
do
everything
for
our
family
and
our
kids
and
everything
it
is
for
that.
It's
not
some
ego
trip.
It's
when
you
look
at
it
and
go.
Is
it
sustainable?
It
talks
a
lot
about
growth.
C
Today
we
found
out
a
lot
of
this.
Growth
is
not
sustainable
and
you
know-
and
it's
just
sometimes
you
know,
no
is
the
best
answer
you
can
say
and
I
don't
know.
Somebody
would
probably
throw
a
rock
at
me
when
I
walk
down
the
street
today,
but
but
I
mean
it's
just
so
it's
it's
a
valid
point.
It's
not
it's
not
rambling!
It's
it's!
Why
hardwood
here?
We
don't
have
the
issue
that
a
lot
of
towns
have
and
it's
people
on
those
walls.
C
They
said
a
lot
a
lot
of
no's.
You
know
and
it's
why
a
lot
of
you
folks
are
out
here.
You
know
every
week
you
know
watching
over
stuff,
it's
just
so
so
I'm
starting
to
ramble
too
so
bad
anyway.
Sorry
about
that
going
to
see
a
whole
lot
of
rock
throwing
this
year,
but
the
intent
is
the
future
and
I
think
every
all
five
up
here
just
want
to
make
sure
Calvin's
the
best
place.
It
can
be.
A
And
it's
all
recurring
costs
so
anyway
we
digress.
But
it's
a
challenge.
You
know
and
as
commissioner
art
says,
we
are
going
to
do
our
very
best
to
support
the
school
system
whenever
all
the
citizens
of
Calvert
County.
But
it's
a
challenge
and
this
year
it's
really
going
to
be
a
challenge.
So
I've
rambled
enough.
