E
God
of
Grace
and
God
of
Mercy,
we
invite
your
spirit
into
this
place
to
preside
over
this
meeting.
We
ask
that
you
and
you
alone,
leader
and
guide
us
in
this
board
meeting
of
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
to
be
effective
and
decisive
in
their
decision
making.
For
this
County,
we
pray
that
your
spirit
would
move
to
promote
Unity
May.
There
be
a
spirit
of
camaraderie
and
a
desire
to
work
together
in
their
shared
vision
and
Mission.
E
We
pray
that
you
will
be
like
a
well-watered
Garden
in
their
lives
like
a
spring
whose
water
never
fails.
We
pray
that
they
will
be
indeed
fruitful,
for
we
realize
that
the
Harvest
is
indeed
plentiful,
but
the
workers
are
few,
so
strengthen
them,
strengthen
them
Lord
for
their
work
in
Calvert
County.
E
Now
let
us
all
pray,
as
your
son
taught
us
to
pray,
Our
Father
who
art
in
heaven
Hallowed
be
thy
name
thy
kingdom
come
thy
will
be
done
on
Earth
as
it
is
in
heaven
and
give
us
this
day
our
daily
bread
and
forgive
us
for
our
trespasses,
as
we
forgive
those
who
trespass
against
us
and
lead
us
not
into
temptation.
But
Deliver
Us
from
Evil
for
thine
is
the
kingdom
the
power
and
the
glory
forever
and
ever
amen.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
So
thank
you,
Pastor
white
for
coming
in
this
morning
and
joining
us.
Pastor
white
comes
with
us
from
Friendship
United,
Methodist,
Church
and
Pastor.
Weems
is
very
appreciative
when
we
have
passed
other
pastors
show
up
and
we
don't
have
to
put
him
on
the
spot.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
in
this
morning.
B
B
B
So
far
we
haven't
had
a
hurricane,
but
we
are
in
hurricane
season,
so
we
just
want
to
remind
everyone
out
there
to
make
sure
you're
prepared,
especially
those
that
love
the
low-lying
areas
that
are
subject
to
flooding,
that
you
have
a
prepared
kit
and
that
you
pay
attention
to
any
warnings
that
you
may
receive
from
Calvert
County
government
about
issues
that
may
be
rising.
The
Calvert
County
Fair
starts
this
coming
next,
not
this
coming
next
Wednesday
and
we'll
run
from
Wednesday
to
Sunday
just
want
to
express
our
appreciation.
B
Last
week
we
ran
a
calvex
drill,
which
is
emergency
preparedness.
Drill
I
want
to
thank
all
the
employees
and
all
those
representing
outside
organizations
for
their
participation.
You
know
when
we
drill
it
makes
us
better
what
we
need
to
do
when
we
need
to
do
it.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
those
that
participated
in
that
event
and
on
this
day
in
1884,
the
poem
The
Star-Spangled
Banner
was
first
printed
as
a
song
in
both
the
Baltimore
Patriot
and
the
American
newspapers,
originally
titled,
the
defense
of
Fort
McHenry.
B
The
poem
was
composed
by
Francis
Scott
Key,
after
witnessing
the
British
bombardment
of
fort
mchamry
in
Baltimore.
So
today
is
a
quite
an
event
in
our
history.
I
believe
that's
all
I
have
at
this
time.
So
the
next
item
of
business
is
proclamations
and
the
first
one
we
have
is
for
emergency
preparedness
month.
Mr
gadway.
H

A

They
don't
even
think
that
they're
vulnerable
to
it,
but
two
three
four
days
without
powering
their
houses
and
when
it's
cold,
you
got
no
heat
unless
you've
got
some
external
heat
source,
so
I
urge
people
to
take
a
look
at
what
they
have
around
their
house
and
think
what
would
happen
if
I
didn't
have
these
Services
didn't
have
electricity
or
something
like
that
for
three
days
and
then
start
taking
and
preparing
for
that
doesn't
have
to
be
expensive.
When
you
go
to
the
grocery
store,
you
can
buy
an
extra
gallon
of
water.
H
H
This
Nationwide
observance
encourages
all
Americans
to
learn
more
about
ways
to
prepare
for
all
types
of
emergencies,
from
natural
disasters
to
potential
terrorist
attacks
and
whereas
the
United
States
Department
of
Homeland,
Security
and
citizen
Corps
urge
all
Americans
to
take
the
time
to
get
an
emergency
kit.
Make
a
family
emergency
plan,
be
informed
about
different
threats
and
their
appropriate
responses
and
get
involved
in
preparing
their
community
and
whereas
Calvert
County
recognized
the
importance
of
preparing
for
potential
emergencies
and
is
proud
to
observe
appropriate
events.
H
Preparedness
information
and
activities
this
month
now,
therefore
be
a
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
September
2022
be
known
as
Calvert
County
preparedness
month.
Be
it
further
proclaimed
that
all
citizens
are
urged
to
join
with
the
Calvert
County
Department
of
Public,
Safety
and
division
of
Emergency
Management
and
carrying
this
message
of
preparedness
to
the
community
given
under
our
hands
and
seal
this
20th
day
of
September
2022,
signed
by
all
Commissioners.
Thank
you.
H
K
Pierce
and
I'm
one
of
the
clinical
supervisors
at
Calvert,
County
Behavioral
Health,
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
suicide
awareness
and
prevention
month,
which
is
September
it's
only
one
month
out
of
the
year.
So
you
know,
Suicide,
Prevention
and
awareness
is
a
12-month
24
7
job
and
it
takes
a
community
for
us
all
to
be
aware
about
what's
going
on
in
our
community,
specifically
and
also
in
our
world,
because
it
affects
all
of
us.
I
have
a
couple
just
a
few
stats
that
I
want
to
just
kind
of
put
out
that
are
interesting.
K
K
So
what
that's
sort
of
a
big
talking
point
is
what's
happening
with
our
students
and
our
children
in
this
community.
However,
you
know
we
are
blaming
everything
on
the
pandemic,
but
since
2000
20.
we
have
seen
I'm
sorry
2000.
We've
seen
a
4.5
increase
in
that
age
in
our
in
our
little
kids
of
suicidal
thoughts
and
attempt
and
that's
significant,
even
prior
to
the
pandemic.
So
then
we
put
the
pandemic
and
isolation
and
separation
from
friends
and
family.
On
top
of
that,
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
those
statistics
in
a
few
years.
K
So
this
is
an
important
month
for
us
at
Calvert,
County,
Behavioral
Health.
We,
our
prevention
team,
has
done
some
calendar
work
where
they
got
some
daily
things
out
there
on
social
media
to
people
some
positive
thoughts
as
well:
Stephanie
Dayton
who's
there
with
me
today.
She
is
up
here
girl.
She
is
a
special
coordinator
at
our
agency.
She
works
with
me
and
we
present
suicide
awareness
classes
for
the
community.
We're
doing
that.
Actually,
this
weekend
we
have
the
next
one.
Coming
up.
K
We
have
our
newest
employee,
Megan,
Smith
she's,
going
to
be
walking
in
and
taking
three
of
our
elementary
schools,
so
I'm
excited
about,
because
we've
had
some
real
decline
in
our
job.
You
know
people
who
are
ready
to
do
this
job,
so
we
welcome
Megan
and
of
course,
everybody
knows.
10
from
our
community
resources
and
she's
been
super
super
supportive
about
prevention,
for
suicide
and
any
other
kinds
of
mental
health.
Things
that
we
do.
Thank
you
for
that.

410-535-3079
correct
or
one
eight,
seven,
seven,
four,
six,
seven,
five,
six,
two
eight
and
the
message
here
is:
there's
help
out
there.
If
you
see
somebody
you're
concerned
about,
please
call
doesn't
cost
anything
to
call
and
I
think
this
past
year,
with
the
pandemic,
you
know
we
saw
a
rise
in
the
increase
in
the
bridge
suicides
which
get
highlighted
what
doesn't
get
highlighted.
So
much
is
the
other
ones
that
occur
in
the
quiet,
and
nobody
really
knows
about
and
to
me,
it's
shocking
to
hear
that
the
highest
age
group
is
from
17
to
24..
K
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
say
is
it
does
nothing
makes
talking
about
Mental
Health
talking
about
our
challenges
in
the
world
talking
about
depression
talking
about
suicide
does
not
increase
the
numbers,
it's
when
we
don't
talk
about
it
and
we
don't
reach
out
to
help
so
I
stand
with
you.
You
know,
commissioner,
hands
in
the
sense
of
that
there
is
help
posted
everywhere.
It's
everywhere
in
this
school
I
mean
we're
present
in
the
school.
K
B
So
recently
we
were
at
the
Chesapeake
Beach
for
the
drug
overdose
awareness
ceremony,
and
you
know
people
talk
about.
Sometimes
they
don't
see
any
signs.
Sometimes
they
do
see
signs
and
they
just
don't
know
where
to
go.
You
don't
think,
there's
anybody
out
there
to
help.
You
know
they're
ashamed
or
embarrassed
to
ask
for
help,
but
you
know
this
there's
nothing
to
be
ashamed
or
embarrassed
about.
You
know.
You
know
you
just
reach
a
point,
hopefully
where
you're
willing
to
ask
for
help.
B
K
L
K
That
exactly
we
talk
about,
you
know
asking
somebody
if
they're
having
thoughts
of
suicide
or
if
they
are
going
to
kill
themselves
that
doesn't
put
the
idea
in
their
minds.
It
doesn't
increase
the
risk
of
suicide
because
somebody
very
who
is
who
isn't
thinking
about
it
is
going
to
be
quick
to
say
no
I'm,
not
thinking
about
it
I'm
having
a
really
hard
time
now,
and
so
just
asking
that
question
lets
them
know
that
you're
serious
about
how
they're
doing
or
how
they're
not
doing.
M
M
Well,
we
need
to
get
to
public
hearing,
so
we
need
time
Mark
Willis,
County
Administrator.
Would
you
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
on
the
number
of
individuals
that
are
impacted
by
a
single
suicide?
It's
covered
in
the
proclamation,
but
I
don't
think
people
are
aware
and
in
that
number
oftentimes
leads
to
another
suicide,
which
then
expands
that
number
even
greater.
So
that's
something
I
think.
K
K
How
many
children
are
in
a
high
school,
so
I
think
the
number
when
I
look
at
it
is
small,
but
we
have
the
statistics
that
say:
135
people
directly
or
indirectly,
and
so
then
our
statistics
regarding,
if
you
are
exposed
to
suicide,
whether
it's
somebody
that
is
close
to
you
or
not
your
risk
of
dying
by
Suicide
increases
as
well.
That's
when
people
are
the
most
vulnerable
is
right
after
they've
been
exposed
to
the
non
job
or
the
experience.
F
Whereas
suicide
is
the
leading
cause
of
death
among
all
age
groups
and
is
the
third
leading
cause
of
death
among
individuals,
ages,
10
through
34
in
Maryland,
and
whereas
it
is
estimated
that
in
2020
there
were
1.2
million
suicide
attempts
in
the
United
States
and
whereas
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
has
reported.
585
people
died
by
suicide
in
Maryland
in
2020
and
135
people
are
exposed
by
a
single
suicide
loss
and
whereas
over
90
percent
of
the
people
who
die
by
Suicide,
have
a
diagnosable
and
treatable
mental
health
condition.

Good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
very
important
topic
I
do
want
to
stress
the
past
topic
that
you
know
has
affected
me
personally,
since
first
time
I
was
15
years
old,
so
everything
you
said
really
hit
home
and
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
time
out
for
that.
That
was
important,
so
my
name
is
Lisa.
N
The
members
of
this
team
are,
if
you
guys
don't
mind
when
I
call
your
name,
could
you
stand
up
and
and
go
over
there
with
your
certificates,
we'll
pose
for
a
picture
that
would
be
awesome
from
Communications
and
media
relations.
We
have
Daryl
Baxter
John
Bennett,
Katie,
Britton,
Sarah,
Eamon
Terrell
gross
Aaron,
Lowe
Kevin
Smith
and
Heather
Skyler
hi.
N
N
D
A
N
N
Assembly
decided
to
dismantle
the
law
enforcement
officer's
Bill
of
Rights
and
create
a
new
statutory
regime
for
accountability
and
administrative
charges
for
law
enforcement,
and
this
was
not
without
controversy.
Commissioners
as
passion
and
emotions
were
found
on
all
sides
of
this
issue.
This
talented
team
used
a
collective
ability
to
provide
fair
and
unbiased
messaging
to
obtain
public
input.
N
N
Documents
collaborated
and
researched
every
aspect
of
possibility.
The
ERC
is
delighted
that
that
we
recognize
the
importance
of
creating
this
board
with
thoughtfulness,
tact
and
the
desire
to
improve
the
process
for
the
greater
good
and
to
join
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
and
recognizing
this
exceptional
team
for
demonstrating.
What
we
all
know
is
that
Calvert
county
is
the
greatest
place
to
live
and
work.
N
N
O
It's
a
small
group
there
that
got
us
to
the
finish
line.
I
say
that
tongue-in-cheek,
because
it
took
a
lot.
You
know
former
commissioner
Hutchins
provided
us
the
starting
point
with
the
for
the
discussion
and
when
he
left
it
was
President
Hance
and
vice
president
Weems,
who
called
together
the
County
Administrator
the
Deputy,
Administrator
and
initiated
community
outreach
and
engagement,
most
importantly
mandated
that
we
do
this
in
an
open
and
transparent
way,
and
there
are
many
opportunities
where
you
think
you're
being
transparent,
but
without
all
these
people
it
would
not
have
actually
been
transparent.
O
People
were
able
to
see
their
comments.
They
were
able
to
see
the
comments
of
others.
They
were
able
to
reply
and
engage
through
video
on
per
in
person
and
through
email
and
surveys.
In
a
time
where
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
deal
with
covid
and
all
that
that
brought
with
us
in
February
this
year,
the
board
enacted
the
consensus
of
the
community
on
the
police.
Accountability
board
that'll,
make
recommendations
on
how
to
improve
policing
in
the
county,
and
we
were
always
reminded
by
the
board
that
we're
dealing
with
lives
and
livelihoods.
O
This
has
to
be
done
right.
We
have
to
consider
respectfully
everybody's
comments
without
this
team
that
could
not
have
been
accomplished.
The
professionalism
of
these
employees,
your
support
for
full
transparency,
ensured
the
discussions
were
meaningful
and
respectful
and
I'm
grateful
for
every
sacrifice
that
everybody
made,
whether
they're,
here
or
they're,
behind
the
scenes,
or
they
declined
to
accept
this
I
I,
truly
appreciate
everybody's
efforts
and
sacrifice.
Thank
you,
foreign.
P
Morning,
Wilson
parent
I'm,
currently
well
I'm
here
today,
as
the
chair
of
the
police,
accountability
board
and
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
this
team,
because
without
the
work
of
this
team,
interacting
with
the
public
establishing
the
structure
that
we
needed
to
establish
on
time,
it
would
not
have
been
possible
for
me
to
start
on
July
1st
as
the
chair
and
to
take
these
committees
forward.
So
I
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
all
the
work
you've
done
and
it
doesn't,
as
you
know,
it
doesn't
end
there.
P
We
we
currently
meet
make
sure
that
we
do
continue
going
forward
with
the
directives
from
the
state
and
also
to
say
that
the
Commissioners
you
establish
the
Committees
and
the
committee
and
the
board
on
time.
Calvert
County
is
leading
the
state
right
now
in
terms
of
executing
those
functions
with
the
PAB
has
met
twice.
The
ACC
has
met
once
we're
fully
staffed
in
terms
of
members
of
the
ACC,
the
PAB
and
all
sort
of
trial
boards.
P
B
It
thank
you,
so
we
did
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
work
they
did.
As
was
mentioned,
this
was
something
there
wasn't
a.
There
wasn't
already
a
program
out
there
that
we
could
just
copy
off
of.
We
had
to
start
from
the
ground
up
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
citizens
had
as
much
input
as
possible
to
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
are
the
ones
that
have
to
have
confidence
in
the
process.
B
So
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
work
they
did
and
setting
this
up,
because
we
did
hear
comments
around
the
state.
They
were
all
waiting
to
see
what
we
did
once
they
heard
where
we
were
going
so
others
were
just
copying
off
of
us
as
we
went
along,
so
it
makes
you
feel
pretty
good
dude.
At
least
somebody
recognizes
you
did
something
right
so
so
we
are
on
time
for
our
first
public
hearing
our
public
hearing
number
one
is
Department
of
Economic
Development
budget
adjustment,
zero.
L
I'm
Julie
oberg,
director
of
Economic,
Development
and
I,
have
with
you
today
Hillary
Daly
tourism
program,
specialist,
we're
here
for
a
public
hearing
on
budget
amendment
number
41
to
increase
the
fiscal
year,
23
adopted
Economic
Development
Grant
budget.
There
are
three
public
hearings
scheduled
for
today.
All
hearings
were
duly
advertised
and
the
certificate
of
publication
is
made
part
of
the
record
of
each
hearing.
Citizens
were
invited
to
provide
public
comment
on
any
or
all
of
the
three
hearings.
After
each
presentation
has
concluded.
L
Each
of
the
three
hearings
may
have
a
separate
comment
period
following
their
brief
presentation.
Anyone
here
in
person
must
sign
in
on
the
sheet.
Next
to
the
attorney
to
speak
budget
adjustment,
number
41
to
increase
the
FY
2023
adopted
Economic
Development
Grant
budget
background.
The
Department
of
Economic
Development
is
offered
a
tourism
marketing
grant
annually
through
the
Maryland
office
of
Tourism
development.
The
department
has
received
this
recurring
grant
for
over
20
years.
L
The
Maryland
tourism
development
board
is
committed
to
supporting
tourism
marketing
and
the
development
efforts
conducted
by
local
jurisdictions,
which
in
turn
provide
a
return
on
investment
to
the
state
of
Maryland
in
June
2022.
The
Maryland
tourism
development
board
reviewed
the
FY
23
destination
marketing
organization
grant
program
as
part
of
the
Maryland
office
of
Tourism
development,
the
annual
marketing
development
plan
and
the
2.5
million
dollar
funding
pool
legislated
in
the
tourism
promotion.
Act
of
2028.
L
The
FY
23
allocation
formula
is
unique
because
of
the
one-time
addition
of
the
eight
million
dollars
in
rainy
day
funds
to
the
Maryland
office
of
Tourism
development's
budget
based
on
the
formulaic
performance
of
Calvert
County.
The
Maryland
tourism
development
board
awarded
Calvert
County
a
grant
in
the
amount
of
193
586
dollars.
The
total
Grant
Award
of
193
586
dollars,
of
which
thirty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
four,
is
currently
in
the
FY
23
adopted
budget
budget.
L
Department
of
Economic
Development
requests
that
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
after
each
public
comment
are
after
public
comment,
close
the
record
and
sign
the
attached
resolution
enacting
budget
amendment
number
41
in
the
amount
of
156
172
dollars.
The
floor
has
been
open
for
public
comment
on
this.
Q
Good
morning
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joseph
Cormier
from
Owings
Maryland
I
want
to
take
a
second
and
recognize
our
fellow
Americans
in
Puerto
Rico,
who
are
struggling
from
the
hurricane
right
now,
and
they
thrive
on
tourism
too.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
help
them.
I'd
appreciate
I,
just
had
a
question
about
this
particular
item.
The
193
000
that
we're
getting
from
this
Grant
and
I'm
all
about
getting
grants
and
anything
from
the
state
we
can
get.
Q
Is
this
on
top
of
the
500
000
that
we
got
from
the
hotel
tax
allocation
to
fund
33
tourism
development
incentive
fund.
So
now
that
we
have
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
use
Ford
marketing
or
these
separate
pools
of
money
and
just
looking
forward
how
we're
going
to
spend
it
here
in
Calvert
County
to
increase
tourism
because
waterways
and
farmers
and
everything
is
what
we
thrive
on.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Okay,.
R
Hillary
good
morning,
my
name
is
Hilary
Daly
I'm,
the
tourism
specialist
for
Calvert
County.
It's
two
pots
of
money.
This,
the
annual
tourism
Grant
associated
with
this
budget
adjustment,
allows
us
to
partner
with
the
state
of
Maryland
office
of
Tourism
development
on
Nationwide
advertising
and
marketing
opportunities.
That
would
otherwise
be
out
of
our
reach
budget
wise.
In
parallel
with
this
grant,
the
Maryland
office
of
Tourism
offers
a
slate
of
Publications
that
are
willing
to
give
discounted
rates
to
the
counties
that
accept
this
annual
marketing
Grant
award.
R
Yes,
we
have
partnered
with
Maryland
on
Tripoli
world
and
preservation
magazine
and
Washington
Post.
All
of
these
Publications
are
extremely
expensive,
usually
to
advertise
in,
but
with
this
Grant
and
the
parallel
offers
that
they
allow
us
to
get
discounted
rates.
With
this
particular
money,
we
can
highlight
Calvert,
County,
bigger
and
wider
than
we
can
with
with
our
other
budget
and.
R
Thousand,
yes,
sir,
how
about
the
500
000.,
the
500
000
is
we're
going
to
work
with
our
partners
and
tours
and
businesses
to
figure
out
where
they
want
to
put
the
money,
the
target
markets,
their
target
markets,
figure
out
where
they
would
like
to
Market
with
that
money.
So
that's
more
local
and
inside
Maryland.
This
is
more
outside
Maryland
National.
F
B
O
Morning,
good
morning,
good
morning,
good
morning
and
John
Norris
County
attorney
Commissioners,
we
were
with
you
for
a
work
session
before
we
advertised
this
as
a
public
hearing,
he
gave
us
permission.
Thank
you.
We
are
going
to
go
through
15
amendments,
all
of
which
are
mandated,
except
for
three
three:
are
the
recommendation
of
the
ethics
Commission
at
the
end,
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
if
it's
appropriate,
based
on
the
record,
close
the
record,
adopt
and
enact
the
recommended
amendments.
O
We
do
have
the
state's
approval.
So
that's
new
background.
The
principal
goal
of
the
Calvert
County
ethics
code
is
defer
that
the
Public's
trust
in
the
those
who
govern
the
local
ethics
rule
to
find
the
minimum
obligations.
Government
officials
and
employees
have
toward
the
public
The
Continuous
development.
Refinement
of
these
minimum
standards
ensure
continuity,
continuity
of
trust
that
adapts
to
changing
environments.
So
that's
why
there
are
changes.
This
is
a
delegated
program,
so
the
state
ethics
commission
has
given
the
county
the
authority
to
have
a
local
ethics
ordinance.
O
O
Amendment
number
two
is
mandatory:
it
adds
a
definition
of
quasi-governmental
entity
as
an
entity,
that's
created
by
State
Statute
that
performs
a
public
function
and
is
supported
in
whole
or
part
by
the
state
but
managed
privately.
Mandatory
amendment
is
related
to
a
later
amendment
to
preclude
the
disclosure
of
the
amount
of
consideration
received
from
the
University
of
Maryland
Medical
system,
where
state
or
local
governmental
entities
and
quasi-governmental
entities.
O
Amendment
number
three
provides
a
new
subpart
forward
section
41-13a
of
the
of
the
ethics
code.
It's
a
mandatory
amendment
that
creates
a
reverse
post-employment
restriction
of
one
year
for
lobbyists
who
become
officials
or
employees.
It
does
not
apply
to
uncompensated
or
minimally
compensated
less
than
twelve
thousand
dollar
border
commission
members
or
elected
officials.
O
Mandatory
amendment
number
four
adds
new
subpart
e
at
41-1483
to
prohibit
The
Knowing
acceptance
of
a
gift
from
associations
engaged
in
representing
counties
or
Municipal
corporations.
So
it's
specifically
designating
Mako
and
MML
as
organizations
whose
gifts
must
be
rejected
if
you
knowingly
are
receiving
it
from
them.
O
O
O
Mandatory
number
eight
is
an
amendment
to
repeal
and
re-adopt
41-15
a2d
of
the
code
changes
the
length
of
time
a
candidate
has
to
cure
and
overdue.
Financial
disclosure
from
20
days
to
eight
after
written
notice
of
failure
to
file
is
provided
by
the
county
clerk
or
the
Board
of
Elections
supervisor.
O
H
T
T
O
J
J
Well,
it's
true
and
it
gets
misconstrued.
I
can
remember
I
kid
you
not
when
Dominion
was
building
the
facility
and
they
were
tearing
the
road
up
on
a
daily
basis.
I
mean
it
was
just
debris
and
stuff
I'm,
not
you
know
from
the
thing
and
they're
cleaning
it,
but
the
cars
were
getting
dirty
in
the
process.
They
were
giving
out
tokens
to
go
to
the
car.
Wash
I
wouldn't
even
take
those
because
I
just
didn't
want
the
drama.
You
know
I'm
like
now:
let's
go
wash
my
own
car,
but
they
were
like
hey.
J
O
So
number
10
is
the
mandatory
amendment
that
requires
individuals
to
disclose
any
Financial
or
contractual
relationship
with
the
Maryland
Medical
system,
a
governmental
entity
that
of
the
state
or
a
local
government
or
a
quasi-governmental
entity.
This
again
is
a
mandatory.
Amendment
also
requires
the
file
if
the
filer's
spouse
is
a
lobbyist,
regulated
by
the
county,
to
disclose
that
the
entity
has
engaged
the
spouse
for
lobbying
purposes.
O
12
is
also
a
mandatory
Amendment
adds
new
subpart,
5
and
6
to
41-15
G
of
the
code,
precluding
public
access
to
information
related
to
the
amount
of
consideration
or
the
compensation.
That's
paid
from
the
University
of
Maryland
Medical
system,
the
governmental
entity
of
the
state
or
a
quasi-governmental
entity
of
the
state
for
statements
filed
after
January
1
2019.
It
precludes
public
access
to
an
individual's
home
address
as
well.
O
Number
13
is
an
optional
Amendment.
That's
been
recommended
by
the
Calvert
County
ethics
commission
to
repeal
and
re-adopt
section
41-16
B1
requiring
lobbyists
who
serve
on
County
boards
and
commissions
and
are
disqualified
from
participating
in
a
specific
matter
to
file
a
statement
of
recusal.
So
recusal
forms
are
optional
at
this
point.
O
This
would
make
that
mandatory
for
those
that
are
lobbyists
on
a
County
board
or
committee
number
14
is
an
optional
Amendment,
also
recommended
for
approval
by
the
Calvert
County
ethics
commission
to
begin
to
plan
for
the
public
to
have
internet
access
to
financial
disclosure
statements
submitted
by
local
elected
officials,
candidates
for
office
and
head
of
principal
departments.
So
it
does
not
require
that
the
county
have
tomorrow
or
when.
O
B
T
B
A
T
C
B
B
T
C
T
B
T
A
B
A
M
You
make
sure,
as
if
I
may,
Mark
Willis
County
Administrator.
This
is
actually
a
topic
that
we're
addressing
right
now
with
HR
Human
Resources
Director,
because
you
know
when
we
look
at
it,
we're
a
small
County.
We
can
say
everybody
knows
everybody.
We
have
some
very
talented
citizens
out
there
that
would
like
to
work
for
the
county
and
a
lot
of
times.
M
It's
in
the
same
line
of
work,
which
you
might
see
is
normal,
whether
it's
technology,
services
or
Emergency
Management,
for
example,
they
kind
of
grew
up
in
the
system
and
they
follow
that
same
track,
we're
having
a
difficulty.
What
we
would
see
is
hiring
certainly
one
of
the
most
qualified
individuals
across
the
spectrum,
because
there's
a
family
member
in
the
chain
of
command,
we're
going
to
be
taking
that
to
the
ethics
Commission
in
the
near
future.
Just
to
kind
of
get
some
ideas
on
which
direction
we
can
go.
J
You
know
it's
just
something
that
you
just
know
so
well
and
there
could
be
a
very
qualified
person
out
there
very
well
deserving
person
and
then
we're
actually
doing
the
county
and
Injustice
by
not
having
them
on
board.
So
and
it's
a
fine
line,
you
know,
but
I
think
you
know,
with
the
application
process
that
we've
put
in
we've,
taken
a
lot
of
steps
to
try
to
ensure
that
we're
just
getting
the
best
qualified
people
and
not
just
you
know
any
type
of
nepotism
or
anything
at
all
like
that.
B
H
Off
nepotism,
I
I
heard
you
say
something
earlier
that
you
guys
are
not
an
investigatory,
you
guys
don't
go
out
and
proactively
look
for
stuff
to
investigate
you're,
not
detectives
and
whatnot,
but
do
you
have
to
have
an
actual
physical
complaint
filed
from
someone
or
if
you
see
something
being
on
the
committee?
That's
so
in
your
opinion,
so
blatant
and
obvious.
H
T
You
guys
do
that
at
all.
In
my
experience,
we
have
not
done
that
okay
to
responded
to
in
a
situation
as
long
as
I've
been
there
and,
yes
do
you,
you
need
to
file
a
complaint.
If
somebody
has
a
conflict
of
interest
concern,
they
contact
us.
Typically,
what
we
do
is
we
send
them
information
how
to
fill
a
form
out
where
the
form
lives
and
articulate
exactly
what
they're
their
complaint
is
or
their
concern
is,
and
then
we
take
that
up
as
a
as
a
a
commission
got
you.
Thank
you.
T
O
Could
say,
while
I
was
in
St
Mary's
Jack
Upton
was
counseled
to
the
Saint
Mary's
ethics,
commission
and
I
was
counseled
to
the
Calvert
County
ethics.
Commission
I,
don't
recall
either
one
of
them
ever
undertaking
an
investigation
on
their
own
initiative.
Once
there
is
complaint
that
they
feel
warrants
an
investigation,
they
do
doggedly
investigate
gotcha.
B
O
O
Q
Good
morning
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joseph
Cormier
from
Owings
Maryland
I
do
want
to
thank
the
ethics
commission.
I
did
reach
out
to
them
and
see
if
I
needed
to
register
his
lobbyists
and
some
up
here
running
my
mouth
all
the
time
they
didn't
say
that
I
needed
to
at
this
time.
I
just
had
a
question
about
this
ethics
code
for
recusals.
When
someone
feels
like
they
need
whether
a
commissioner
or
Committee
Member,
and
they
feel
they
need
to
recuse
themselves,
I
think
that
they
should
have
to
declare
it
I
know.
Q
Q
What
was
going
on,
especially
for
those
with
you,
know,
lame,
duck
terms
right
now
who
are
about
to
be
back
in
the
private
sector
if
you're
voting
on
things
that
are
changing
in
your
District,
if
you've
got
a
cigar
lounge
in
the
plan,
you
should
have
to
announce
that
type
of
thing,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
of
the
ethics
commission
again
I.
Imagine
that's
an
all
volunteer
board
who
you
know
puts
their
time
and
effort
into
that
and
it
helps
the
county
greatly.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
O
F
B
Have
motion
a
second
that
we
close
the
record
and
approve
and
adopt
the
ordinance
enacting
amendment
to
chapter
41
of
the
Calvert
County
code.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries.
Do
we
have
any
vacancies
currently
on
the
ethics
commission.
I
know:
we've
had
some
issues
over
the
time.

Q
Good
morning
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joseph
Cormier
from
Owings
Maryland
I
I
still
struggle
with
this
whole
TDR
situation,
and
now
we've
got
the
the
purchase
and
remove,
which
is
just
increasing
the
scarcity
of
that
finite
resource,
because
there's
only
so
much
land
that's
eligible
for
those
TDR
situations,
the
cost
of
buying
those
tdrs
is
just
passed
on
to
the
the
home
builder
and
the
or
the
future
renter.
It's
not
doing
much
for
that
I
know
we
have
to
balance.
Q
You
know,
protecting
our
waterways
and
preserving
our
open
land,
but
to
say
that
there's
no
fiscal
impact
in
this
I
don't
think
it's
true,
because
we've
got
millions
of
dollars
sitting
in
this
Bank,
not
doing
anything
for
the
county
right
now.
Are
we
investing
that,
while
it's
sitting
in
the
bank
or
is
it
just
sitting
in
a
line
item
somewhere?
We're
gonna
have
2.7
million
dollars
at
five
thousand
dollars
a
TDR,
which
is
what
they
want
to
raise
it
to
later
in
today,
that's
going
to
preserve
another
550
Acres.
Q
What
is
the
end
goal?
How
many
acres
are
we
trying
to
preserve
and
what's
left
and
is
there
a
map
that
we
can
see
what
tdrs
have
already
been
removed
from
the
system
and
where
that
land
is
I,
just
I
want
to
know
is
the
price
going
to
continue
as
that
Supply
continues
to
shrink?
Are
we
going
to
be
paying
nine
thousand
ten
thousand
fifteen
thousand
per
TDR
to
keep
building?
It
continues
to
fall
onto
the
septic
and
the
aquifer
situation.
Q
Q
Just
this
TDR
thing
is
very
complicated
and
I'm
trying
to
understand
it
all
I,
don't
know
if
that's
money
well
spent
or
if
we
can
put
it
toward
better
uses
for
citizens
who
are
struggling
today
or
other
resources
for
mental
health,
or
you
know
Community
uses
like
the
Harry
Elizabeth
Brown
Center,
instead
of
just
paying
farmers
and
developers
to
move
money
around.
Thank
you
so
much.
F
J
W
W
U

A
W
W
Right
and
especially
smaller
individual,
you
know
individuals
rather
than
companies
or
or
folks
that
are
well
versed.
It
can
be
challenging
to
find
the
ttrs
that
they
need
for
development
or
even
for
a
single
home.
So
not
only
are
our
companies
impacted,
but
also
individuals
in
the
county.
Ordinary
citizens
are
also
impacted
in
different
ways
and
it
does
get
complicated.
W
Is
going
in
the
right
direction?
So,
as
we
discussed
last
year,
the
purchase
price
for
both
programs
was
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars,
and
then
we
did
not
have
any
sales.
Any
transactions
for
the
TDR
Reserve
program
go
through
or
become
finalized
prior
to
the
beginning
of
this
fiscal
year
in
July
1..
W
So
we
got
our
very
first
three
transactions
completed
this
coming
one,
and
it's
going
well
and
as
we've
mentioned
before,
we
have
we
have
10
in
the
bank
currently
and
we
will
have
22
coming
up
shortly
as
soon
as
the
paperwork
is
completed.
So
that
would
be
a
a
total
of
32
tdrs
and
we're
hoping
that
that
program
expands
and
we
have
interested
parties
and
it
sounds
like
it
will
be
really
good
and
there
are.
W
X
J
Essential
so
so
in
in
going
forward,
you
know
looking
past
today.
Obviously
I
mean
we
we've
seen
we've
seen
when
growth
goes
unchecked.
All
the
unintended
consequences
I
mean
commissioner
Williams.
What
was
it
back
in
the
90s?
It
was
a
school
every
year,
every
two
years,
every
year,
every
year
I
mean
that's
unsustainable.
You
know
we
and-
and
we
have
the
luxury
of
being
able
to
see
the
past
and
that
data.
So
my
question
is
I
I
see
the
five
thousand
dollars.
J
H
The
head
of
the
game
with
us
having
a
goal
of
40
000,
preserved
Acres
across
the
county,
I
like
the
fact
that
we
have
that
definition
and
that
that
goal
and
I
believe
we're
well
over
30
000
at
this
point,
that's
correct,
so
we
can
move
to
that
other
discussion
later
if
it
pleases
the
rest.
The
Commissioners
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
close
a
record
and
a
proven,
adopt
a
resolution
and
acting
FY
2023
budget
adjustment
number
zero,
five.
Nine
second.
G
X
X
X
G
X
We
we
try
to
do
it
within
the
fiscal
year
with
the
at
least
the
par
program.
The
bank,
the
reserve,
it's
open
all
the
time
but
to
spend
the
money
within
the
fiscal
year
is
why
we
bring
it
to
you
like
in
the
fall,
we'll
open
the
program,
and
then
we
actually
physically
have
to
close
it
to
see
how
much
money
we've
spent
during
that
fiscal
year.
I.
G
G
What
is
the
percentage
of
people
that
own
tdrs
as
to
the
percentage
of
the
population
of
Calvert,
County,
I
kind
of
feel?
Like
you
know,
all
the
taxpayers
are
paying
for
this
program,
but
the
majority
of
the
County
isn't
benefiting
from
it
kind
of
what
Joseph
Cormier
said.
You
know
it's
there's
other
programs
that
we
need
money
in
and
there's
a
small
percentage
of
people
that
are
benefiting
from
this
program
where
the
other
citizens
aren't
so.
X
The
money
comes
from
various
places:
it's
not
all
coming
out
of
the
the
budget
for
the
Commissioners,
so
we
have
recording
fees
that
get
Associated.
You
know,
there's
a
percentage,
there's
a
record,
an
ordinance
recorded
for
how
much
that
that
recording,
recording
fee
is
going
to
go
into
this
pot
of
money.
We
get
money
from
other
state
agencies
and
there's
quite
a
bit
of
this
money
that
can't
be
spent
for
anything
else.
It's
not
like.
We
can
take
this
money
out
of
this.
X
H
J
J
There's
a
person
driving
up
and
down
the
road,
Route
4,
going
back
forth
to
work,
loves
the
traffic
situation
the
way
it
is
today
much
less
how
it
could
be
in
the
future,
and
you
know
I,
remember
my
father.
When
I
was
a
kid,
you
know
we
would
drive
down
rooseby
Hall
Road
and
go
around
and
he
would
just
love
the
trees
and
to
change
the
colors
and
we
would
go
down
around
four.
What's
that
price?
What's
that
cost?
J
You
know
if
you
look
at
Maryland
as
a
whole
and
I'm
correct
me,
24
jurisdictions,
22
jurisdictions,
I'm,
sorry
put
one
like
Calvert
County
low
crime
schools.
Look
at
that
picture.
There's
always
some
reason
to
destroy
it.
You
know,
what's
the
price
to
keep
it
the
gorgeous
place,
we
all
came
here.
For
that
reason
or
you're
born
here-
and
you
appreciate
it
and
you
stayed
but
if
you're
here
it's
because
you
like
it
a
certain
way
and
there
seems
to
be
this
rush
to
destroy
it,
and
you
know,
there's
a
there
was
a
movie.
J
It
was
this
guy
trying
to
take
over
a
company.
He
says:
why
are
you
trying
to
destroy
it?
He
goes
because
I
can
destroy
it
and
sometimes
the
bigger
restraint
is
not
to
to
appreciate
the
value
and
the
beauty
of
it.
It's
already,
you
know
as
just
in
time.
You
know
the
population
just
grows
on
its
own,
but
to
rush
it
to
destroy
it.
I
mean
I.
I.
A
Y
H
J
And
for
what?
What
do
you
gain?
I
mean
we're?
Gonna
have
I
was
laughing
so
cheetahs
here
so
cheetah.
How
many
of
those
HVAC
conversations
do
we
have
every
year?
You
know
right
right,
so
I
mean
it's
it's.
You
know
and
that's
just
you'll
learn
over
time,
and
so
commissioner
Clark
said
to
me
one
time
he
said
you
know
he
said
understand.
You
know
why
people
are
here.
You
know
and.
G
X
The
developers
get
to
buy
the
tdrs
on
the
free
market,
so
they
don't
have
to
pay
5000
tdrs.
They
approach
an
owner
of
tdrs
and
make
an
offer.
So,
if
they're
offering
to
buy
100
tdrs,
maybe
they're
only
paying
three
thousand
dollars
that
we
have
no
control
over,
that.
We
only
have
control
over
what
we're
purchasing
or
retiring
under
the
par
and
with
the
reserve
program.
We're
actually
going
to
get
that
money
back
because
we're
going
to
sell
those
to
the
Developers
for
what
we
paid
for
them.
J
And
there's
a
there's
a
cost
in
there
that
people
don't
see
when
these
developments
happen.
They
don't
just
fill
out
a
building
permit
and
that's
it.
Staff
is
brought
in
multiple
times
back
and
forth.
Back
and
forth.
Back
and
forth
doesn't
include
what
the
school
system
has
to
put
in
for
bus
routes
and
everything
else.
The
the
price
is
so
much
more
than
just
you
know,
going
back
to
what
do
you
gain?
What
does
the
tax
payer
gain
from
that?
It's
it
it
it
it
and
it's
extremely
complex.
J
It
really
is,
and
it's
something
I've
been
here
almost
eight
years
and
I
probably
I
mean
only
know
15
of
what
I
need
to
know
on
this
I
mean
it's
just
that
complex,
because
it's
it's
dominoes,
you
touch
this
and
all
the
way
over
there
you're
you're,
affecting
something
else,
and
you
we
you've
been
in
that
position.
How
long.

Background
Board
of

or
the
Boe
has
had
some
unforeseen
failures
at
Huntingtown,
Elementary
School,
the
existing
septic
fields
that
serve
the
school
have
failed
and
require
replacement.
The
total
cost
for
the
Emergency
project
is
projected
to
be
three
hundred
thousand.
The
board
of
education
has
requested
the
county

of
75

for
the
project.

these
projects
total
funding,
75
000
to
be
transferred
to
the
Huntingtown
Elementary
School.
The
remaining
funds
in
this
these
projects
represent
projects
that
are
either
completed
or
the
costs
were
under
the
budget.
At
the
time
of
the
project.
Conclusion
recommendation,
finance
and
budget

that
the
board
approved

CIP
for
75

to
the
Huntingtown
Elementary
School,
CIP
construction
project.
AA
Yes,
we
are
working
with
the
Department
of
Health
to
begin
the
perk
testing
I
have
been
in
conversations
with
the
state
to
request
funding
towards
the
emergency
project.
We're
very
hopeful.
We've
gathered
information
that
the
state
required
in
terms
of
invoices,
because
what
is
happening
at
this
point
is
the
we
had
an
inkling
that
the
septic
fields
were
starting
to
experience
failure.
AA
So
maintenance
had
contacted
me
regarding
a
potential
evidence
that
showed
that
the
fields
were
not
taking
in
the
water
as
they
should,
and
so
we
had
actually
began
a
concept
study
in
the
spring
to
be
able
to
place
the
project
in
the
CIP
in
a
future
year.
But
over
the
summer
we
were
doing
a
parking
lot,
Improvement
project
at
Huntington
Elementary,
and
when
we
began
excavation
for
the
bio
Pond,
which
is
required
for
the
stormwater
management,
we
actually
Unearthed
these
septic
fields.
AA
They
were
completely
in
the
wrong
place
from
where
the
as
built
showed
them
to
be,
and
then,
when
we
excavated
further,
we
found
that
they
had
in
fact
failed.
So
we
stopped
the
work
there
and
obviously
it
became
a
much
more
of
a
critical
matter.
So
that
is
why
we're
here
today
we
are
at
this
point:
pumping
weekly,
the
septic
tank
and
the
distribution
tank,
which
is
costing
us
between
750
and
a
thousand
dollars
a
week.
So
it's
certainly
from
the
operational
side.
AA
AA
In
terms
of
design,
I,
don't
think
that
that
will
be
the
issue.
I
think
it
will
be
the
review
period
and
the
permitting
period
so
we're
really
working
pretty
diligently
with
County
staff.
We
had
a
meeting
last
week
with
Public
Works
to
let
them
know
what
was
happening
and
just
to
have
a
conversation
regarding
the
bio
Pond
and
whether
that
needed
to
be
moved
with
the
current
project
that
we're
under
construction
on
so
they've
been
very
helpful
conversations.
AA
I
wish
I
could
tell
you
I,
don't
know,
because
that
is
a
piece
that
I
can't
control
in
terms
of
the
review
process
and
the
permitting
process,
but
we're
certainly
going
to
do
everything
that
we
can
very
quickly
and
I
believe
that
the
county
staff
has
been
really
good
with
working
with
us.
So
I'm
sure
everybody
understands
that
for
the
good
of
the
students
and
the
staff,
we
need
to
be
able
to
get
these
done
as
quickly.
H
As
possible,
Right
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
money
is
there
and
you
guys
found
the
money
elsewhere
in
the
budgets,
which
brings
me
a
question.
How
often
do
you
find
the
extra
monies
like
this
on
projects
already
completed
or
came
in
under
budget,
and
what
normally
happens
with
that?
If
there's
not
an
emergency
situation
like
this,
that
it
can
be
immediately
rerouted
to.
AA
AA
In
fact,
we
just
de-scoped
one
that
came
in
1.6
million
dollars
over
budget,
so
we
had
to
really
revamp
and
re-uh
re-bid
that
out
very
very
quickly,
so
it
does
happen
sometimes,
but
I
think
you
will
find
that
when
you
go
through
most
of
our
project
accounts,
a
lot
of
them
will
have
a
little
bit
of
money
left
over
like
this,
which
we
will
then
go
through
and
and
try
to
kind
of
combine
towards
something
else.
So
we
try
to
do
our
due
diligence
to
really
just
make
sure
that
there
isn't
money.
J
G
It's
it's
great
that
you
had
it
because
a
lot
of
counties
when
they
get
close
to
the
fiscal
year
they
some
other
counties.
They
either
use
it
or
lose
it,
so
they
just
start
getting
stuff
done
to
use
up
the
money.
So
it's
good
that
you
guys
have
extra
money
on
some
of
these
projects
to
in
case
of
emergency,
like
this.
Z
Absolutely
and
capital
projects
does
roll,
so
they
do
go
year
to
year,
which
is
good
in
this
case.
I
really
did
think
when
we
approached
this.
Looking
for
the
75
000
that
we
were
going
to,
she
was
going
to
have
to
decrease
a
project
or
switch
something
out.
It
was
great
that
we
could
find
this
money.
We
had
to
use
four
different
projects
in
order
to
get
up
there.
Z
No,
they
don't
typically
have
a
lot
of
money
left
over.
We
do
re,
they
do
not
encumber
funds
through
us.
They
encumber
it
on
their
books,
so
I
send
a
report
quarterly
to
their
financial
person.
It
was
Edie,
I,
don't
know
who's
going
to
take
that
position
and
they
check
it
against
their
projects
to
see
what
they
have
in
most
cases.
If
they,
if
it's
a
significant
amount
of
money,
that's
left
over,
if
it's
from
like
the
general
fund
or
excise
tax,
then
we
put
that
money
back
into
those
buckets.
Z
If
it's
general
fund
I
mean
if
it's
obligation,
bonds
and
the
bonds
have
been
sold,
then
sometimes
there's
been
chance.
We
would
come
in
front
of
you
and
ask
to
reutilize
those
bonds
for
a
different
project
to
help
offset
costs
that
she
may
need
in
the
future.
If
something's
come
in
over
budget.
Does
that
help
I.
A
U
F

The
motion,
a
second,
that
we
approved
budget
adjustment
ba012cip
to
transfer
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
from
four
other
CIP
projects
to
the
Huntington
Elementary
School
CIP
construction
project.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion
hearing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
shashita,
while
you're
here
at
Beach
Elementary.
Yes,.
AA
Update
it's
going
really
well,
you
know
we
have
a
live
cam,
so
you
can
actually
watch
it
just
at
a
click
of
a
button.
If
you
actually
go
to
the
Huntingtown
elementary
website,
we
have
it
on
our
construction
Department
website
as
well.
But
if
you
go
to
the
actual,
the
school's
website
you'll
be
able
to
see
a
live
cam.
It's
going
really
well
we're
up
to
the
Second
Story
at
this
point.
So
construction
is
on
schedule.
AA
The
staff
we
have
the
move
of
the
staff
from
the
old
building
to
the
new
building
scheduled
for
next
summer.
So
in
about
a
year,
the
construction
will
be
done
with
the
new
building
students
and
staff
will
move
in,
so
students
will
actually
get
to
start
fall
of
2023
in
the
new
Beach
Elementary
School,
and
then
we'll
proceed
with
demoing
of
the
existing
building
and
the
fields

Er
new

purchase
some
retirement
funds,
and
so,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
most
of
you
know
I
farm
and
because
I
farm,
my
own
land.
So
you
notice
I've,
recused
myself.
Whenever
we
talk
about
tdrs,
because
I
do
own
some
tdrs
in
partnership
with
family
members
and
I
have
no
intention
of
ever
selling
any
as
long
as
I'm
alive,
but
to
avoid
any
perception
of
conflict
I'm
going
to
always
recuse
myself
when
we
talk
about
the
DDR
program.
F
A
A
W
W
A
D
W
So
the
prior
presentation
was
regarding
the
budget
adjustment
that
affects
both
of
these
programs,
but
this
is
specifically
for
the
opening
of
these
programs.
The
background
the
background
is
that
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
established
the
purchase
and
retirement
par
Fund
in
1992
to
purchase,
retire
and
permanently
remove
transferable
development
rights
from
the
from
the
development
rights
Market,
thereby
protecting
additional
Farmland
Acres
from
development.
W
There
is
one
million
843
386
dollars
in
the
budget
available
for
for
par
fund
purchases
and
921
675
dollars
available
for
the
TDR
reserve
for
fiscal
year.
2023.,
the
par
funding
includes
a
small
portion
of
the
Agricultural
transfer
taxes,
which
are
funds
dedicated
for
agricultural
preservation,
totaling
approximately
ten
thousand
dollars.
W
W
A
Maximum
Impact
of
two
million
seven
hundred
and
sixty
five
thousand
sixty
one
dollars
is
available
in
the
fifth
fiscal
year
2023
budget,
which
includes
ten
thousand
dollars
of
anticipated
agricultural
transfer
tax
revenue.
In
the
current
fiscal
year
conclusion
recommendation
staff
recommends
that
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
consider
the
apab
recommended
price
and
direct
staff
to
open
the
par
cycle
to
receive
applications
and
continue
with
the
TDR
Reserve
pilot
program.
J
Oh,
no,
no
I,
think
I
alluded
to
before
you
know
with
this.
These
groups
that
are
getting
together,
I
mean.
Does
this
price
going
to
get
this
program
moving?
We've
never
I
mean
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
movement
every
year,
but
not
really
substantial
I
mean.
Are
we
going?
Is
this
gonna
really
start
that
going
or
what?
What's
the
feedback
you're
getting.
X
To
predict
where
they
are
in
the
their
lives,
whether
you
know
they
want
to
retire,
they
need
the
money
now
whether
they
want
to
wait
a
few
years
see
what
happens
with
the
price.
Maybe
they've
already
made
an
agreement
with
a
developer
to
sell
them.
There's
a
free
market
that
goes
on
in
the
background
that
we're
not
even
involved.
C
V
X
H
J
X
So
if
we
get
no
offers
or
very
few
offers,
we
absolutely
could
come
back
and
have
you
reevaluate
the
price?
The
problem
is,
it
takes
a
really
long
time
to
go
through
the
process,
so
I
mean
this
is
a
really
good
time
to
be
doing
it
and,
as
Jen
said,
we're
still
wrapping
up
some
from
last
year,
but
they
have
to
hire
an
attorney.
There's
a
lot.
A
J
W
It's
from
last
year
that
I
pulled
together
just
I'm,
not
sure
it
directly
correlates
your
question.
But
in
trying
to
answer
your
question
so
in
fiscal
2022,
I
looked
at
all
all
TDR
transactions,
so
I
wasn't
discriminatory
about
which
ones
went
to
to
par
and
which
ones
went
to
and
what
type
of
TDR
they
were,
so
that
that's
not
on
the
table.
But
it's
trying
to
follow
General
trends.
So
in
fiscal
2022
there
were
two
private
transactions.
W
I
I
took
out
all
of
the
transactions
that
were
involved
the
county
programs,
because
we
wanted
to
look
at
just
those
that
were
within
the
private
Market
and
there
were
two
private
transactions
in
all
of
fiscal
year:
2022
of
5
000
or
more
and
fiscal
23.
So
far
there
have
been
two
private
transactions
of
five
thousands
or
five
thousand
dollars,
or
more
recorded
in
July
alone,
and
two
private
transactions
of
five
thousand
or
more
having
been
recorded
in
August.
W
W
W
I
didn't
calculate
that
all
I
was
trying
to
be
Broad
in
general,
but
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
about
the
price,
we're
increasing
and
then
there's
always
a
little
bit
of
lag.
We
get
constant
calls
that
I
take
constant
calls
at
the
office
about
the
current
price
of
tbrs
and
give
out
a
report.
We
can
produce
a
report
and
give
it
out
to
anyone
who
inquires
as
to
what
the
current
prices
are.
So
so
it's
not
instantaneous
and,
as
Mary
said,
this
program
takes
time
to
implement.
J
U
U
Obviously,
as
Mary
Beth
said,
if
we
are
not
getting
good
participation,
we're
going
to
come
back
to
you
and
try
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
get
it
the
program
where
it
needs
to
be,
but
otherwise
we
try
and
keep
them
on
a
preset
cycle,
because
that
Cycle
takes
so
long
again.
It
takes
almost
a
full
fiscal
year
from
start
of
advertisement
to
closing
the
final
transaction.
J
F
W
B
B
Y
AB
AB
Y
AB
Again,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
today,
I'm
glad
to
talk
talk
about
traffic
for
you.
So
a
little
background
behind
me.
So
with
Wallace
Montgomery
we're
a
maryland-based
and
Consulting
Transportation
consulting
firm
we've
worked
for
the
copper
County
for
many
years,
I've
been
off
and
on
working
on
some
projects
with
this
County
for
pretty
much
almost
my
entire
22
years
in
this
industry,
I
would
say
so.
I'm
the
Vice
President
in
charge
of
our
traffic
engineering
department,
so
I
feel
a
few
things
are
too
about
traffic.
AB
AB
Their
initial
Transportation
plan
back
in
2006
worked
with
Carroll
County
Howard
County,
just
for
more
the
role
ones
so
worked
with
them
before
then,
a
lot
of
I've
done
a
few
development
of
a
traffic
impact
analyzes
for
these
counties
on
behalf
of
them,
as
well
as
also
reviewing
these
so
I
do
have
a
good
background
behind
analyzes.
So,
okay,
so
the
two
topics
I
want
to
talk
about
today:
I,
obviously
traffic
related.
So
the
first
one
is
to
talk
about
level
service.
So
obviously
this
ordinance
really
dictates.
AB
AB
So
again,
this
ordinance
talks
about
you
know
details
like
when
a
traffic
analysis
should
be
done,
I'll
kind
of
go
into
more
of
the
components
of
a
traffic
impact
analysis
really
kind
of
to
talk
about,
what's
what's
important
to
the
county
on
those
so
slide
so
going
into
level
service
and
it's
adequate
Suite
So.
Currently,
the
Calvert
County,
what
it
defines
as
adequate
for
level
service
so
for
County,
Roads,
it's
level
of
service,
C
or
better
so
A
or
B
for
Town
Center
roads,
it's
a
level
of
service,
D
or
better.
AB
So
obviously,
there's
a
lot
of
State
maintained,
Road
waves.
Here,
a
lot
of
the
analyzes
that
you
see
because
they
they
do
impact
state
roads,
I'm,
going
to
kind
of
compare
what
this,
what
their
their
adequacy
as
well,
so
they
Define
it
as
level
service,
D
or
better.
So
it's
a
little
more
about
this,
so
level
service
D
leads
level
service
in
general.
The
county
does
talk
about.
You
know
this
is
for
intersections
it
really
doesn't
it
doesn't
really
Define
it
is
it
for
the
overall
level
service
for
the
intersection
versus
more.
AB
Is
it
talking
about
More
Level
service
for
the
approaches,
the
Turning
movements?
So,
just
to
let
you
know
that,
where
the
state
a
lot
of
their
their
guidelines,
kind
of
go
into
the
overall
level
service
plus
talks
about
you
know,
analyzing
the
movements,
so
I
did
did
some
research
on
some
other
counties
in
Maryland,
just
kind
of
comparing
with
what
they're
at
their
ordinances
say
about
level
service
too.
So
this
table,
you
see
here
this
actually
comes
from
St
Mary's
County,
their
ordinance.
They
all
do
they
kind
of
do
things
a
little
differently.
AB
This
is
sort
of
a
little
more
detail,
kind
of
kind
of
splits
them
up
by
their
zoning
districts.
But
it's
pretty
similar
where
a
lot
of
their
their
rural
areas,
they
also
Define
level
of
service
e
or
better.
As
that
adequacy
what's
interesting,
is
they
do
kind
of
go
into
no
matter
which
type
of
zoning
District,
the
town,
centers
and
the
village
centers?
Is
that
threshold
is
level
of
service
C?
AB
A
couple
of
other
counties
just
to
note
so
Harford
County,
is
another
one
kind
of
looked
I
thought
they
have
a
more
updated
version
so
with
the
way
they
Define
it
is.
You
know
whatever
development
inside
their
development
envelope,
whether
it's
a
county
or
state
road
as
that
that
threshold
level
of
service
D,
if
it's
outside
of
that
development
development
threshold,
even
if
it's
County
or
state,
is
level
service
C.
AB
So
again
they
don't
want
to
define
whether
it's
an
overall
service
or
approach
so
kind
of,
let
you
know,
Talbot
County,
which
is
one
I've
worked
with
before
they've,
got
an
interesting
word
where
they
say
any
of
the
lane
and
Lane
approaches
must
be
at
or
above
a
level
of
service.
C
again
they
don't
Define
as
a
state
or
a
county
either,
but
they
do
Define
as
it's.
It's
not
necessarily
the
overall
level
service.
But
it's
more
of
that.
AB
Those
approaches
at
on
a
road
or
at
an
intersection
they
actually
go
into
further
talking
about
if
an
intersection
that
you're
impacting
if
it's
currently
at
a
level
service,
D
or
E,
you
can't
make
it
worse.
Okay,
and
if
you,
if
there
is
an
intersection
or
a
roadlet,
that's
at
a
curly
level
service
F.
If
you're
going
to
be
impacting
it,
you
must
improve
that
to
a
level
service
e.
So
if
you're
going
to
impact
this
this,
this
failing
roadway
intersection,
you
better
help
us
make
it
better.
J
Those
counties
that
don't
make
that
definition
are
there
arteries
as
vital
as
say
our
state
connections
I
mean.
Basically,
the
four
ways
in
and
out
of
here
are
all
on
a
state
road
yeah,
and
so
it's
hard
one
definition
when
people
are
looking
at
it
to
understand
where
the
difference
of
control
of
Route
4
opposed
to
control
of,
say,
a
County
Road,
all
of
our
roads
have
to
dump
out
on
that
artery.
Yes,
do
they
have
the
same
scenario.
AB
I
would
say
they
do
have
a
lot
of
state
roads
that
that
are,
they
should
probably
be
impacted.
I
might
obviously
have
like,
like
tall
account.
You've
got
us
50
out
there
an
example
95
in
in
Harford
County,
so
I.
You
would
think
that
those
type
of
roads
are
should
be
influenced
by
it.
So
that's
why
I'm
saying
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
make
sure
we
sort
of
Define
that
you
know.
J
AB
AB
AB
AB
It's
it's
based
on
your
volumes
and
your
capacity
ratios
so
basically
just
kind
of
your
inputs
of
your
volumes
and
the
amount
of
room
and
amount
of
capacity
you
have
on
the
roads
themselves,
so
not
a
preferred
method
to
really
make
a
lot
of
decisions,
I
would
say,
whereas
the
high
capacity
manual.
This
is
what
is
nationally
recognized,
is
what
we
was,
what
we
typically
use,
it's
what
was
actually
used
in
the
the
Calvert
County's
Transportation
plan.
AB
As
far
as
for
their
analyzes
much
more
robust,
you
can
do
there's
different
types
of
analyzes
based
on
the
type
of
facility,
whether
it's
an
intersection,
whether
it's
a
court
or
a
segment,
if
it's
a
interchange,
ramp
a
bike
facility,
a
pet
facility,
so
all
different
types
of
facilities
and
what
that
kind
of
gives
the
results
of
that
is
it'll.
Give
you
a
level
of
service
grade
to
it.
It
depends
how
you
come
to
that
level
of
service
is
depends
on
the
type
of
facility
I'll
go
into
that
a
little
later.
AB
It
does
give
you
that
your
volume
capacity
ratio,
it's
a
pretty
common
information
that
you
include
in
written
analyzes
and
for
especially
for
a
nap
for
intersections.
It's
good
to
have
results
of
Hues
at
your
intersections.
The
cues
aren't
dictated
by
the
level
service,
it's
more
of
an
additional
metric
that
you
should
definitely
look
at
in
analyzes
next
slide.
AB
So
again,
this
is
coming
from
the
Calvert
County's
Transportation
plan
they
do
have.
This
is
sort
of
their
intersection
level
service
analysis
that
they
did
for
for
that
plan.
It's
based
on
I
believe
2017
existing
volumes.
So
it's
a
little
dated,
but
you
know,
obviously
they
looked
at
a
level
services
along
a
number
of
obviously
mostly
Maryland
around
two
and
four
intersections
they're
State
roadways,
so
it
kind
of
gives
you
a
general
sense
of
you
know
the
level
Services.
AB
AB
Okay,
so
drilling
down
into
the
actual
methodologies,
the
analysis,
so
you
have
intersections
and
what
what
is
defined
for
level
service
for
intersection.
It
is
average
control
delay.
Okay,
so
basically
how
long
you
were
waiting
at
an
intersection.
The
thresholds
based
on
this
this
chart
here
talks
it's
a
little
different.
If,
whether
it's
an
unsignalized
versus
a
signalized
intersection,
you
can
kind
of
see
these
thresholds
between
grades,
it's
a
little
lower
for
unsignalized.
That's
because
your
sort
of
level
of
tolerance
for
for
weighting
is
less
at
unsignalized
intersections
than
signalized
intersections.
M
AB
Exactly
Apples
to
Apples,
when
you
look
at
that
signalized
unsignalized
intersections
so
for
signalized,
you
do
get
a
level
service
for
the
overall
average
of
that
intersection.
Plus
it
gets
into
more
of
the
approaches,
level,
Service,
Plus,
the
movements
of
of
each
of
those
approaches
and
whereas
unsentilized
doesn't
give
you
at
overall
play
it's
just
whatever
the
the
stopped
movie
movements
are
to
give
you
level
of
service
there.
So
I
want
to
raise
that
as
I
think
it's
important
to
when
you're
analyzing
intersections
with
level
of
services.
AB
You
include
not
just
the
overall
but
the
approaches,
say:
example
you're
at
it
and
its
civilized
intersection.
The
overall
is
level
of
service
e,
but
you
might
have
a
failing
approach
right,
but
it's
not
really
doesn't
show
it
on
that
overall
level.
Service
grade
you
might
because
it's
it's
failing.
You'll
probably
have
some
some
really
large
cues.
You
know
blocking
some
turning
movement
lanes
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
really
I
feel
like.
If
you're.
AB
If
you
want
to
clarify
level
service,
it's
maybe
good
to
Define
it
as
overall
and
the
you
know,
approach
and
turn
movement
level
of
service
go
ahead,
and
this
is
just
other
methodologies
that
we
do.
You
may
or
may
not
see,
I.
Think
you're
more
interested
in
more
intersections
is
more
the
corridor
segment
level
services.
So
this
is,
you
know,
corridors
outside
the
influences
of
the
intersections.
You
have
a
two-lane
road,
one
lane
each
Direction,
it's
that
level
surface
is
defined
by
speeds
or
even
the
percent
time
you're
following
Vehicles,
a
multi-lane
section.
AB
You
know
two
or
more
lanes
per
Direction,
that's
really
more
on
more
volume
based
density,
the
saturation
of
of
vehicles
on
that
corridor.
Obviously
When
You
Reach
capacity
that
your
level
Services
after
it's
failing,
let's
go
next
next
slides
next
couple
is
just
some
examples
for
you
as
what
it
looks
like
on
these
segments.
As
far
as
from
a
level
of
service,
a
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
volume
be,
as
obviously
the
traffic
increases.
AB
Okay,
so
that's
what
level
Services
is
and
what's
sort
of
defined
now
I
kind
of
go
into.
You
know
how
we,
how
do
we
handle
how
we
develop
this
analysis?
So
the
analysis
is
based
on
peak
hour
delays.
So
what
that
means?
Is
we
look
at
certain
the
peak
period
so
a
morning
Peak
the
evening
Peak
a
lot
of
times,
sometimes
the
weekend
Peak
right.
So
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
count
we'll
do
a
certain
period.
AB
In
the
morning
two
three
hours
we
will
find
out
what
are
in
that
you,
you
collect
the
data
in
15-minute
intervals.
You
you
basically
find
what
are
the
four
highest
consecutive
15-minute
intervals
that
is
defined
as
your
peak
hour.
Okay,
you
do
this
for
the
morning
and
Peak
evening,
Peak.
Obviously
that
kind
of
gets
a
lot
of
your
commuter
type
of
volumes.
We
can,
especially,
if
you're,
in
more
of
a
commercialized
area
a
lot
of
commercial
weekend.
Traffic
you'll
do
the
same
thing
for
like
a
lot
of
times
like
for
Saturday.
AB
So
so,
once
we
have
the
peak
hours
kind
of
figured
out
and
balanced,
we'll
use
the
software
so
again,
some
some
some
terms
to
throw
it
out
there.
So
we
use
the
high
capacity
software.
It's
one
type
of
meth
we
use
Syncro
and
traffic
is
something
that's
probably
more
commonly
used
out
there.
Actually,
if
you
look
on
the
screen
that
little
green
blob
there,
that's
actually
sort
of
a
a
simulated
network
of
roadways,
that's
sort
of
what
Synchro
looks
like
this
is
actually
what
they
use
for
the
transportation
plan
for
Calvert
County.
AB
This
is
actually
what
the
highway
uses
to
develop
their
their
signal.
Timings
as
well.
I've
been
involved
with
that
as
well.
So
obviously
in
in
Calvert
County,
you
have
two
coordinated
systems.
You've
got
one
on
four,
but
in
Huntingtown
I
think
there's
two
signals.
Obviously
in
Prince
Frederick
there's
a
six
signal
system
there.
So
this
is
how
it's
sort
of
they
Define,
how
they,
how
they
create
these
analyzes.
Okay,
other
ones
that
you
may
see
as
Sidra.
B
So
some
of
the
surveys
we've
seen
they've
averaged
we
hate
averaging.
You
know,
of
course,
from
10
to
4
in
the
morning.
There's
no
traffic
going
through
those
intersections,
but
during
peak
hours
may
take
you
three
Cycles
to
get
through
a
light,
and
we
don't
believe
that
averaging
is
an
appropriate
way
to
assess
those
intersections.
Yes,
but
it
looks
good.
It
makes
your
report
card.
AB
AB
So
totally
a
problem
I
mean
it's
really
a
matter
of
with
this
analysis
and
how
you
calibrate
it
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
this
a
little
later,
so
your
existing
conditions
making
sure
you're
modeling
this
the
best,
as
you
can
as
far
as
what's
out
there,
make
sure
what
your
that
eye
test
is
being
is
being
implemented
into
your
analyzes,
so
I
know
like
here
again:
I
mentioned
the
Ohio
State
Highway
has
Maryland
for
the
signal
systems
yeah.
They
have
this
analysis
created.
AB
You
know
this
is
you
know
their
their
best
case
scenario
of
how
the
how
they
should
operate,
whether
it
does
it
operate
that
way
or
not,
I
I,
don't
know.
If
it
they
haven't
gone
out
there
and
adjusted
the
timings
a
long
time
they
do
get
out
of
whack
after
a
while.
So
it's
like
going
to
a
doctor
like
an
appointment,
you're
going
to
make
sure
you
you
have
to
go
back
here
and
there
to
make
sure
some
adjustments
are
made.
So
so.
B
And
the
other
uniqueness
that
we
have
is
because
we
are
a
peninsula.
Everything
has
to
go
on.
Route
four
I
think
we're
the
only
jurisdiction
in
the
state
that
has
that
unique
characteristic
where
you
can't
disperse
traffic
everybody's
forced
on
Route,
four
and
I
think
my
concern
has
been
in
the
past.
When
we've
done
traffic
studies
for
projects,
they
only
look
at
the
impact
to
that
little
road
that
that
dumps
on
it
doesn't
take
into
account
the
impact
at
the
end
of
the
road
where
it
intersects
with
route.
Four
sure
so,
I've
been
told.
B
We've
never
had
a
project
where
there
said
there
was
a
traffic
impact
gotcha,
but
you
get
to
that
intersection,
and
you
know
there
were
three
projects
on
that
road
and
each
one
of
them
dumps
200
Cars
individually.
It's
the
traffic
engineer,
so
it's
no
big
deal
you're
just
dumping
200
cars,
but
then
all
of
a
sudden
you've
got
600
cars
coming
out
the
end
of
that
road,
and
we've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
to
capture
that
gotcha.
AB
Definitely
my
next
section
would
talk
about
that
and
kind
of
go
through.
How
do
you
you're,
basically
your
study
area?
How
you
really
make
sure
you
Define
that
the
way
you
want
it
and
you
are
capturing
you
know
all
the
I
would
say
intersections-
that
that
you
feel
like
are
really
going
to
be
impacted
too.
So.
B
And
it's,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
about
the
tolerance
of
our
citizens
and
what
they
believe.
We
had
a
transportation
expert
come
to
us
a
year
or
two
ago,
and
he
said
your
traffic's
not
as
bad
as
DC.
You
don't
have
any
traffic
problems,
there's
a
difference.
Tolerance
level
in
Calvert
County
than
there
is
in
Washington,
D.C
and
I.
B
Don't
think
that
air
citizens
would
agree
that
we
don't
have
a
traffic
problem
because
it's
not
like
DC,
yes,
and
so
you
know,
sitting
at
a
light
cycle
for
making
three
trips
before
you
can
move
through.
The
intersection
may
be
acceptable
in
some
places,
but
for
our
residents
it
is
not
acceptable.
I
totally
get
that
yeah,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
capture
in
this
updating
of
the
a
apfo
is:
how
do
we
capture
the
entire
impact
of
a
project
on
the
main
artery
when
there's
no
way
to
disperse
that
traffic
gotcha.
B
That's
what
we
hear
I
mean
when
you're
out
in
the
community
you
hear
about
growth
and
traffic
and
right
now,
traffic's
not
very
bad
on
that
road,
but
you
know
sure
three
hours
from
now
it's
going
to
be
a
different
scenario
and
they're
just
not
used
to
it
and
they
don't.
They
didn't
move
here
to
put
up
with
that
sure
lack
of
a
better
term.
B
I
grew
up
here
and
I
live
on
a
I
grew
up
on
a
state
artery
and
you
could
play
basketball
in
the
middle
of
the
road
when
I
was
a
kid
because
it
was
dirt,
yeah,
well,
no
one's
dirty,
this
black
top,
but
today
you
can
barely
cross
that
road.
You
know
after
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
so
it's
it's
been
quite
an
adjustment
for
those
of
us
that
have
been
here
and
for
those
that
have
come
here.
B
B
And
because
of
the
bridge
of
Solomons,
we
have
a
lot
of
Transit
traffic,
yes,
which
we
can't
really
control,
but
we
have
to
account
for
yep.
We
can't
you
know
you
can't
have
a
blind
eye
and
say
well,
it
doesn't
exist
because
we
don't
control
it.
We
have
to
account
for
that
traffic.
So
you
know
some
people
said
well
seven.
Seventy
percent
of
the
traffic
on
the
road
is
Transit,
so
you
know
that's
not
our
problem.
AB
A
lot
of
the
analyzes
when,
if
you
do
it
properly
is
you
do
account
for
heavier
Vehicles,
larger
Vehicles,
they're,
bigger,
take
up
more
space
or
slower,
so
you
got
to
make
sure
that
that
does
influence
your
traffic
flow
too.
So
absolutely
so
gotcha
so
I
want
to
kind
of
move
on
and
just
kind
of
talk
about
going
to
the
traffic
analyzes.
AB
So
I
see
the
AP
the
the
ordinance
kind
of
dictates
as
far
as
when,
when
when
you
want
to
when
you
need
to
do
an
impact
study
right,
so
I'm
going
to
kind
of
compare
again
sort
of
Calvert
County
with
state
with
some
of
the
other
other
counties
as
well.
So
right
now,
the
way
it's
it's
defined
for
in
Copper
county
is,
if
you
have
sites
400
or
more
two-way
trips
per
day
or
sites
fit
40
or
more
through
peak
hour
trips.
AB
You
require
to
study,
comparing
to
what
state
says,
there's
more
sites
more
than
50
peak
hour
trips,
so
you're.
So
the
count
is
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
when,
when
requiring
a
study,
which
is
great
just
comparing
the
other
ones,
so
Harford
County
a
little
bit
more
developed,
more
populated
area,
theirs
is
249
trips
per
day.
AB
AB
So
so
just
here's
a
list.
You
know
they'll
talk
about
the
study
area,
how
big
it
should
be.
You
know
what
counts,
what
intersections
should
be
studied?
The
counts
needed
the
background
development
to
include
sort
of
in
the
the
no
build
scenario
in
the
future.
The
land
use
types.
So
what
the
the
the
land
use
type
of
of
of
that
proposed
development
will
Define
what
it
should
be
defined
as
any
of
the
future
growth
rates,
the
percent
distributions
of
traffic.
AB
So
you
know
how
is
that
traffic
going
to
be
distributed
along
throughout
your
study,
study
area
and
any
other
assumptions,
so
the
study
area,
the
way
is
defined
for
Calvert
County.
Now
it
says,
is
existing
counting
state
roads
are
intersections
from
each
site,
access
to
multiple
sites
to
the
first
minor,
collector
arterial,
Road
intersection,
so
the
state
defines
a
little
differently,
so
they
kind
of
do
more
based
on
the
size
of
the
development.
AB
So
if
it's
a
small
one,
it's
more
of
a
a
quarter
mile
radius,
medium
size,
a
half
mile
radius-
and
this
is
a
large
one-
to
one
mile
high
radius
for
for
that
study
area-
to
compare
some
other
ones
so
Harford
County.
It
defines
it
it's
similar
to
the
county,
but
to
the
first
major,
collector
or
higher
classification.
AB
Okay,
so
next
slide
okay,
so
there
are
parts
of
the
of
the
analysis
you're
going
to
try
to
capture
your
existing
volumes.
We
you
define
as
trying
to
utilize
traffic
counts.
You
want
to
use
of
recent
ones,
so
one
year
old
is
really
really
your.
What
you
want
to
do
certain
scenarios:
you
can
go
as
much
as
two
years
as
old
in
certain
scenarios,
but
nothing
more
than
that.
You
do
that
because
you,
the
recent
Council
capture,
any
of
the
updates
to
the
developments
any
of
the
movements
within
within
that
area.
AB
Or
is
pretty
darn
close,
of
course,
the
way
of
life
especially
work.
The
way
work
is
now.
You
know
a
lot
when
people
tell
Community
it
may
not
I,
don't
know
if
you'll
ever
get
as
bad,
but
it's
pretty
darn
close
I've
stayed
definitely
at
least
where
I
live.
The
evenings
is
just
as
bad,
so
so
now
it's
and
obviously
during
Kobe,
if
we
were
doing
an
impact
study,
you
couldn't
use
any
volumes.
You
know
couldn't
count
data
during
2020
or
2021.
For
that
reason,
because
we.
B
Have
employees
now
that
work
from
home
that
did
not
pre-covet
and
post
covered?
We
believe
a
majority
of
those
are
going
to
stay
home.
So
there
is
an
impact
just
from
us
and
we
know
that
impact
extends
out
to
other
Industries
and
other
businesses
absolutely,
but
at
some
point
we're
going
to
get
back
to
what
I
call
the
post-covered
normal
and
yeah.
AB
And
I
would
say,
I
would
feel
comfortable
going
back
and
doing
attorney
moving
counts,
not
making
adjustments
to
it
at
this
point,
so
we
had
to
do
that
during
covet
again
we're
going
to
count
the
morning
Peaks
evening
Peaks,
even
for
a
lot
of
maybe
a
lot
of
the
resident
non-residential
developments,
you
want
to
capture
the
weekends,
because
I
mean
you
definitely
want
to
see.
What's
what's
going
on
the
very
different
pattern
of
travel,
you're,
getting
more
captured,
more
internal
trips
versus
you
know,
external
trips
right.
B
AB
AB
AB
Absolutely
and
obviously
part
of
that
you're
look
there.
They
forecasted
future
volumes
as
well,
so
but
yeah,
it's
a
lot
of
times
doing
some
nominal
updates
based
on
the
existing
conditions.
It's
worthwhile,
so
so
part
of
the
existing
conditions.
Again
we're
developing
the
the
volumes
part
of
this
is
the
signal
timings
again.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
signal
timings
is
really
important
to
have
that
information
where
you're
developing
the
analysis
reviewing
it.
AB
What
you
want
to
do
is
have
calibrated
analysis,
I
kind
of
mentioned
this
before
so
again,
just
because
you
gather
this,
this
data,
you
do
want
to
go
out
there
and
observe
the
traffic.
What
are
really
the
cues
that
you
see
you
know
travel
accord
or
what
are
those
travel
times
to
really
make
sure
that
is
true,
because
you
do
you're
able
to
make
the
adjustments
to
these
models
to
make
sure
it
is
accurate,
as
you
can
so
yeah
go
ahead
next
slide.
AB
So
the
next
step
is
the
background
conditions.
I
call
this
sort
of
the
Future
No
build
so
you're
trying
to
project
when
that
site
development
is,
is
going
to
be
constructed
in
on
board,
but
you're.
Looking
at
what
what
are
what's
the
traffic
going
to
look
like
without
that
that
development
in
hand
so
to
do
that
you're
going
to
agree
upon
An
approved
growth
rate
from
that
meeting,
the
approved
developments
to
include
from
that
meeting
what's
interesting
is
this
is
very
common.
How
are
Harford
County?
Not
just
they
look
at
approved
developments.
AB
They
look
at
pending
developments
as
well,
so
say
you
have
you're
they're
doing
a
traffic
pack
study
at
the
same
time
as
a
couple
other
ones
so,
and
these
aren't
online
yet
you're
not
capturing
those,
so
they'll
do
sort
of
an
alternative
analysis
of
oh
I
know
these.
Other
developments
are
coming
on
board.
This
hasn't
been
approved
yet
so
they'll
actually
look
at
it
more
of
a
pending
scenario
to
see
how
bad
that
really
is.
I
thought
it
was
kind
of
interesting.
J
A
AB
J
And
you
look
like
the
bad
guy,
but
commissioner
Hans
is
right.
It's
a
Saturday
two
Saturdays
ago
Zach
got
a
game
out
of
County
live
down.
Southern
part
of
the
county
and
I
was
like:
where
did
all
these
cars
come
from?
On
a
Saturday
on
Saturday
I
mean
when
I
was
a
kid.
It
was
a
ghost
town.
You
know,
on
the
weekends
I
mean
and
I'm
going
in
the
time
that
I
a
lot
to
get
somewhere,
I'm
building
more
time
in
Carol's
like.
Why
are
we
leaving
so
much
earlier?
B
B
Now
it's
eight
o'clock
okay,
Saturday
morning,
if
I'm
gonna
move
something
big
I
try
to
be
on
Route
4
by
8
o'clock,
because
and
by
noon
like
I've
said
it's
just
it's
nuts
gotcha
and
even
on
weekdays.
Now
I,
don't
know
what
the
traffic
study
is
going
to
say,
but
even
on
weekdays,
now
it
used
to
be
from
9
to
11
was
a
pretty
good
time
to
move
yep,
not
anymore.
A
B
J
Big
thing-
and
you
just
you
just
said
it
because
with
all
working
from
home,
you
see
this
I'm
doing
this
on
my
lunch
break
well
on
your
lunch
break
might
have
been
in
DC
or
Annapolis,
but
now
you're
working
for
home,
so
your
lunch
break
will
be
in
your
backyard.
Absolutely
and-
and
you
know,
when
you're
seeing
that
influx
and
and
that
was
unforeseen,
we.
H
H
J
J
AB
Understood
and
then
obviously
part
of
the
background
conditions,
if
there's
any
approved
or
funded
any
any
roadway
projects.
Improvements
within
that
future
area,
you'll
take
that
into
account
again
do
once
you
have
all
that
information
together,
create
your
future
volumes.
You'll
do
more
Capacity
Analysis,
then
the
last
this
next
last
piece
is
your
projected
build.
So
this
is
your
future
bill
with
that
site
in
hand,
so
you
basically
add
that
development
into
your
analysis,
so
we're
creating
what
what
sites?
What
generated
volumes
are.
AB
This
is
from
this
I
from
the
ite
manual
that
was
approved
you,
you
kind
of
you,
need
to
figure
out
what
the
percentages
of
distributed
traffic
is
from
your
site
out,
dispersed
out
into
your
into
your
your
study
area
and
then
then,
from
there
you
assign
the
traffic
and
create
your
volume,
your
total
future
volumes.
Once
you
have
that,
then
you
now
and
then
you
analyze,
that
you
really
kind
of
analyze
the
capacity
of
that
scenario
with
the
future
background
scenario.
What
did
that
and
that?
AB
What
did
that
development
really
do
to
impact
that
your
your
network?
Is
it
just
a
natural
future?
This
is
what's
going
to
happen
anyways,
or
is
it
really
causing
some
adverse
impacts
so,
and
then
the
last
piece
is
the
next
slide
is
part
of
your
recommendations.
You're
explaining
what
your
results
are,
what
are
the
adverse
impacts
and
then
here's
you're
going
to
Define?
What
are
the
mitigation
steps
you're
going
to
to
improve
these
right?
AB
So
again,
maybe
it's
a
certain
type
of
capacity,
Improvement
operations,
a
safety
Improvement
you're,
going
to
do
you're
going
to
develop
the
the
analyzes
of
that
improved
impact
to
show
them
what
needs
to
be
done
ultimately
to
create
sort
of
a
a
concept,
design
of
what
that
is
and
an
estimate
as
far
as
how
much
of
it
of
how
much
the
cost
would
be.
So
it's
that's
sort
of
the
the
components
of
of
I
mean
traffic
impacts,
analysis
report,
any
other
questions.
B
So
this
may
be
unrelated,
but
so
there
are
six
or
seven
traffic
lights
in
Prince
Frederick
and
a
stretch
of
about
less
than
a
mile
and
a
half.
Yes,
we've
been
pushing
State
Highway
to
time
those
lights.
We
believe
it
would
make
a
significant
Improvement.
The
traffic
flow
through
Prince
Frederick
is
that
a.
AB
AB
AB
Yeah
they
and
I
know
State
Highway.
Is
there
it's
slowly
getting
to
update
their
technology?
You
know
more
Wireless
Systems,
so
they
that
the
signals
can
communicate
together.
I
don't
know
where
it
stands
as
far
as
that
particular
system,
it
does.
If
you
update,
if
you
look
analyze
and
update
signal
timings,
it
does
a
world
of
differences,
make
things
the
flow
improve,
but
you
analyze
it
correctly.
B
A
H
AB
B
AB
J
AB
They're
doing
because
I
I
do
a
lot
of
the
traffic
design
signal.
Design
for
them
is
that's
kind
of
what
they
do.
If
you,
if
you
are
going
to
go
in
and
make
some
improvements,
whatever
Improvement
it
is
they'll
try
to
go
in
and
just
systematically
try
to
up
make
the
upgrades
on
their
their
end.
At
least
the
ones
I've
worked
on
elsewhere.
That's
what
they
do
so.
B
B
That
would
you
know,
add
traffic
and
the
state
highway.
The
last
time
they
did
our
study,
which
was
in
2016
or
2017..
You
know
they.
They
said
that
you
know
moving
forward,
that
we
weren't
going
to
have
significant
significant
issues
if
we
completed
an
East-West
bypass
if
we
built
two
or
three
crossovers
in
Prince
Frederick.
B
Those
are
the
two
things
that
stuck
out
of
my
mind
and
I'm
thinking
right
off
the
bat.
Some
of
that
ain't
happening.
You
know
those
crossovers
we've
already
developed.
They
have
to
tear
down
buildings
to
put
in
their
crossovers.
We
look
at
the
cost
of
those
bypasses
and
Wetland
issues
and
environmental
impacts
and
I'm
not
sure
they
can
happen
the
way
State
Highway
projects
how
they
should
flow.
B
H
Mr
Mr
President
I
use
it.
We
talked
earlier
about
emergency
preparedness,
this
emergency
preparedness
month,
I
can't
sit
there
and
look
at
our
roads
and
think
that
we
owe
our
taxpayers
anything
less
than
a
c
in
normal
operating
conditions,
because
we
only
have
limited
Ingress
and
egress
out
of
the
county.
If
there's
an
emergency
that
we
have
to
move
or
citizens
have
to
get
out,
how
are
you
going
to
sit
there
if
we
can't,
on
a
regular
work
day,
maintain
a
non-failing
grade
of
a
d
e
or
F?
J
Commission
Chicago
to
your
point,
take
the
Solomon's
Bridge
one
accident.
You
shut
everything
down
both
ways:
you've
seen
accidents
on
Route
4,
you
shut
down
an
entire
section,
I
mean
all
these
arteries.
All
it
takes
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
some
major
action.
It
could
just
be
a
fender
bender,
you
know
even
somebody
just
breaking
down
and
you
shut
it
all
down.
J
So
to
me
we're
already
failing
because
going
back
to
the
emergency
thing,
if
you
had
God
forbid
a
weather
event
or
something
where
there
was
an
evacuation,
how
would
you
do
it?
I?
Remember
so
many
different
discussions
when
Dominion
was
being
built.
You
know
it's
like
some
magic
thing
was
going
to
come
down
and
we're
not
creating
any
more
property
out
here.
J
So
this
illusion
of
oh,
we
can
build
this
and
build
that
and
there's
no
effect,
I
mean
we're
just
talking
one
aspect:
just
roads
and
we
already
see
I
mean
to
be
honest,
it's
an
F,
it
really
is
I
mean
because
it
fails.
If
there's
a
time
where
there's
an
accident-
and
you
can't
get
through
it-
fails
if
there's
a
storm
event.
J
Anything
and
you
can't
get
through
or
if
there's
certain
periods
of
time
I
mean
these
roads
should
be
accessible
24
hours
a
day
to
for
at
least
for
a
moderate
expectation
and
with
single
arteries
that
we
have
I
I
mean
my
personal
opinion.
I,
just
don't
see
it
in
the
thought
that
we
could
add
thousands
more
units
out
here,
which
means
thousands
more
cars
and
to
think
that
we're
not
affecting
the
waterways
to
everything
I
mean
it's
ludicrous
and
I,
go
back
to
what
I
said
earlier.
J
B
S
H
J
Many
times
when
you're
in
your
travels,
do
you
hear
I'm
trying
to
be
very
politically
correct,
but
someone
doing
a
project
say
well:
I
complied
with
what
the
county
said.
I
complied
with.
What
this
that's
to
get
out
of
jail,
free
card
right,
because
once
I
complied
doesn't
matter,
the
impact
that
I
made
I
complied,
but
when
you
try
to
make
that
to
minimize
that
impact
all
of
a
sudden
you're,
the
bad
guy,
you
know,
I'll
be
54..
I
got
more
years
in
the
rear
view,
mirror
than
I
got
in
the
front
windshield
right.
J
B
Y
G
Y
M
Commissioners,
if
I'm
a
Mark,
Willis
County
Administrator.
Yes,
we
do
we're
being
visited
by
Mako,
so
each
year,
mako's,
executive
director
and
the
current
Mako
president
with
visit
Maryland's
County
to
update
mako's
legislative
activities
and
hear
from
elected
officials
about
the
needs
and
interests
for
the
upcoming
year.
These
visits
help
to
inform
mako's
work,
it's
valuable
as
we
go
through
and
we
update
as
the
year
moves
on
so
with
us.
B
V
You
know
the
I
guess
the
last
month
or
so
of
session.
Things
really
opened
up.
We
were
able
to
do
things
in
person.
Shake
some
hands,
make
eye
contact
which
really
makes
a
big
difference,
and
we
got
some
amazing
things
done,
there's
about
2,
700
bills.
Last
session.
No,
no
surprise,
Mako
analyzed
about
a
third
of
them
about
900.
They
come
very
very
quickly
and
our
Mako
staff
does
an
amazing
job.
V
Getting
that
to
us
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
work
they
do,
but
I'm
also
extremely
grateful
for
the
work
of
this
gentleman
to
my
left,
Mr
Sanderson,
who
is
the
one
who
keeps
his
organization
going
and
and
such
an
amazing
leader,
I'm
very
honored,
to
be
able
to
serve
this
year
with
him,
which
is
my
final
year
in
office,
and
it's
a
wonderful
way
to
go
out
and
work
side
by
side
with
him.
And
you
know,
as
I
said,
in
a
very
non-partisan
way.
V
We
look
at
these
bills
in
a
way
that
actually
just
affects
our
counties
and
not
what
our
own
political
beliefs
are
and
and
zeroing
in
on
it
in
that
way,
really
gets
it
done,
because
the
elected
officials
are
the
ones
ultimately
making
the
decision
even
that
the
staff
does,
you
know
all
of
the
pre-work.
It
makes
us
the
most
credible
organization
in
Annapolis
because
they
know
it's
people
like
you
and
me
who
are
ultimately
making
these
decisions
on
the
legislation.
V
V
We
can
get
back
in
person
and
and
meet
and
do
that,
but
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
out
of
busy
schedules
to
keep
up,
not
only
with
the
legislation
that
you
have
here
back
in
our
home
counties,
but
also
all
the
legislation
that
gets
introduced
in
Annapolis
so
appreciate
that
very
much
one
thing
about
today.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
interactive
so
that
you,
rather
than
just
giving
us
you
know
us
giving
you
the
presentation.
I
know
we're
going
to
have
a
chance
to
to
have
some
lunch
afterwards.
V
We
also
want
you
to
you,
know,
give
us
your
feedback
and
tell
us
what
Mako
does
good,
what
we
do
bad,
hopefully
not
so
much
of
that
and
what
we
can
improve.
So
we
do
need
to
hear
from
you.
We
we
work
very
closely
with
the
legislative
committee
members,
but
this
is
the
opportunity
now
for
the
other
members
of
the
commissioner
commission
to
let
us
know
what
they're
thinking
as
well.
V
V
So
the
bill
did
a
few
things:
one
It
upgraded
from
a
hundred
dollars
to
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
transport.
Certainly
that
still
needs
to
go
up
a
little
bit
more
and
we'll
come
back
and
have
another
bite
at
that
apple
in
a
few
years
to
try
to
raise
that
some
more.
But
now
we
get
reimbursed
no
matter
where
we
go
or
even
if
we
don't
go
anywhere.
V
So
if
it's
more
makes
more
sense
to
go
to
an
emergency
care
unit,
urgent
care
facility
to
a
doctor's
office
or
someplace
else,
we
get
reimbursed
for
all
of
those,
but
also
to
recognize
the
true
health
professionals
that
our
EMTs
and
paramedics
are.
You
go
out
and
you
treat
them,
and
sometimes
you
don't
need
to
go
anywhere
or,
if
you're,
a
bad
patient.
V
V
Then
we
can
also
will
are
always
going
to
go
out
and
answer
a
911
call.
But
if
the
patient
has
insurance,
we
can
then
Bill
their
insurance
not
only
for
those
transports,
but
even
if
we
don't
transport.
So
that
should
make
a
huge
difference
in
the
bottom
line
of
our
Emergency
Services
budgets
and
and
have
a
big
help.
V
V
In
a
rural,
more
rural
County
like
us,
Talbot
and
Calvert,
you
can
go
out
and
make
those
house
calls
so
to
speak,
but
in
a
more
urban
area
you
may
set
up
on
the
street
corner
and
do
all
kinds
of
pre-screenings
blood
work
and
check
for
things
like
that
and
again,
all
of
those
things
are
reimbursable.
So
it's
a
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
to
get
adequate,
Health
Care
out
to
our
communities
for
those
who
don't
have
access
to
it.
V
AC
Thank
you
very
much,
Commissioners
grateful
for
your
time
today,
I'm
Michael
Sanderson
I'm,
the
director
of
the
Maryland
Association
of
counties.
We
serve
and
represent
all
24
jurisdictions
across
the
state,
all
the
elected
officials
and
their
services
on
the
front
line
that
affect
and
benefit
all
marylanders,
and
we
make
a
visit
out
to
each
elected
body
over
the
course
of
each
year
and
try
and
have
this
interaction
which
is
beneficial
for
us
and
hopefully
for
you
as
well.
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time
and
and
I
know.
You've
had
an
aggressive
agenda.
AC
Today
we
distributed
some
information
for
you,
I'll
skip
most
of
that
and
and
other
and
basically
just
do
a
couple.
Bang
bang
points
looking
backwards
and
a
couple
looking
forward
because
we're
sort
of
at
that
point
where
the
next
legislation
legislative
session
is
upon
us
and
the
state
legislature
sets
an
awful
lot
of
the
terms
that
end
up
being
the
rule
book.
We
all
get
to
play
by
that
your
budget
and
your
priorities
are
affected
by
things
at
the
state
level.
We
want
that
to
be
a
partnership
rather
than
a
leash
right.
AC
So
let
me
speak
to
a
couple
of
things.
Looking
back
this
year,
Madam
president
spoke
glowingly
about
a
bill.
We're
really
proud
about
their
Emergency
Services
bill
is
a
really
important
step
forward
and
it
required
lots
and
lots
of
little
things
to
happen
to
come
together.
I'm
proud
that
it
did.
We've
got
more
work
to
do
on
that
issue
and
we'll
probably
be
coming
back
a
couple
years
from
now
after
a
study,
but
we
made
really
good
progress
this
year
and
had
a
lot
of
Partners
come
out
of
the
woodwork
we
didn't
know.
AC
We
had
another
issue,
that's
been
that
I've
been
at
this
table.
Speaking
to
you
all
about
over
the
years
is
how
we
use
the
revenues.
This
is
the
share
of
State
gas
taxes
and
transportation.
Revenues
that
come
back
to
local
governments-
and
this
was
Annapolis-
is
fond
of
doing
things
a
step
at
a
time
and
then
declaring
sunsets
or
Cliffs
that
sort
of
stuff.
AC
AC
To
move
forward,
we
we
do
the
obvious
thing
we
put
in
a
bill
for
full
restoration
right.
We,
you
know
you,
why
not
right
swing
for
the
fences,
at
least
on
the
first
pitch
right,
so
you
take
a
deep
swing
at
it.
What
we
end
up
getting
out
of
this
session
is
a
pretty
good
deal
over
the
next
four
years.
We'll
click
up
county
level
will
go
up
by
about
half
again
where
it
is
today
and
we'll
be
there
for
a
few
years
and
then
we'll
have
another
smaller
Cliff
effect
again.
AC
So
Annapolis
is
very
much
in
love
with
sunsets.
That
brings
us
back
to
the
table
along
with
Baltimore
City,
that's
on
its
own
track
and
the
municipal
governments
to
keep
that
that
sunset
from
happening.
But
we
made
another
step
forward.
It's
not
the
Home
Run,
it's
not
what
we
wanted.
It's
not
full
restoration.
AC
This
remains
a
big
and
important
fiscal
issue
between
the
state
and
its
local
governments,
but
we're
at
least
moving
in
the
right
direction,
and
the
people
who
had
to
vote
for
the
bill
this
year
are
not
the
same
leaders
who
were
around
in
2009
when
this
cut
happened.
Increasingly
the
number
of
people
who
even
remember
that
there
used
to
be
roads
and
bridges
in
the
in
the
towns
and
counties
effectively
paid
for
by
the
state
gas
tax
that
that's
what
served
us
for
decades
and
decades.
J
AC
Percentage
are
we
at
now.
Counties
are
bad.
This
this
bill
will
get
get
us
back
to
I,
want
to
say
it's
22
and
a
half
percent
of
the
full
nut
which
is
supposed
to
be
30,
though
the
magic
number
is
30
of
the
universe
should
come
back
to
local
governments.
This
will
get
it
back
to
22
and
a
half
percent
for
counties
we're
going
to
be
at
around
35
percent
of
where
we
should
be,
and
that's
not
right,
hey.
M
V
V
But
what's
unfortunate
about
it,
why
why
Mako
needs
to
keep
working
on
this
bill
is
because
Baltimore
city
and
the
municipalities
are
now
not
only
fully
restored
but
restored
a
couple
tenths
above
where
they
were,
and
so
they
just
did
a
weird
formula
said:
let's
give
everybody
50
more
than
what
they
had,
but
when
Baltimore
city
and
the
municipalities
were
already
so
much
closer
than
we
were,
they
didn't
understand
that
we're
still
going
to
be
at
4.8
percent,
when
15.3
would
be
full
restoration
for
the
counties.
Okay,.
A
U
J
AC
Yeah
yeah
next
so
yeah.
It
looks
to
me
like
the
the
share
right
now
that
comes
to
Calvert
County,
not
not,
including
your
Municipal
share,
is
about
a
million
five
today
and
three
years
from
now
it'll
collect
up
to
about
2.5
million
they've
increased
the
pie
slightly,
and
our
share
of
it
goes
gets
a
little
bit.
Larger
7.7
is
the
number
they
ought
to
be
circling.
That's
the
right
share
that
should
be
coming
back
to
Calvert
County.
How
much
is
gas
now.
U
AC
U
AC
I
I
will
say:
all
of
that
is
that's
a
Seeing,
Eye
Single
right
you
step
up
to
the
plate.
You
swing
for
the
fences
you
get
on
base,
you
don't
take
it
out
and
we're
still
in
the
game.
Okay,
that's
fine!
It's
not
a
full
Loaf
and
you're
right
about
that.
One
other
thing
I'll
mention
I,
want
to
do
this
briefly.
This
could
be
a
a
nerdy
technical
discussion,
but
something
that
nobody's
covered
in
the
papers,
because
it's
not
exciting,
but
mechanically.
AC
It's
important
for
the
layers
of
government
when
the
state
does
property
tax
policy
for
the
most
part,
they've
gotten
in
the
habit
of
saying
property
taxes
are
mostly
a
local
Revenue,
so
we'll,
let
that
be
the
county
or
the
town
will
decide
that
make
a
local
option.
Tax
credit.
If
you
want
to
give
a
credit
for
people
putting
a
solar
panel
up
or
for
your
Hometown
Heroes
and
so
forth,
you
can
do
that
as
a
property
tax
break,
that's
really
common
policy
and
that's
a
that's.
AC
We
think
that's
the
right
way
that
they
ought
to
do
that
sort
of
policy
when
it
comes
to
income
taxes.
It's
mostly
the
state,
but
in
Maryland
the
income
taxes
is
number
two
on
Revenue
sources
for
County
governments.
The
easiest
way
to
do
a
break
on
income
taxes
is
a
tax
write-off
or
in
Maryland.
We
call
it
a
subtraction
modification
right
easiest
way
to
do
that.
AC
Well,
if
you
give
someone
a
tax
write-off,
it
comes
out
of
the
taxable
income
and
that's
a
tax
break
for
the
state
and
then
the
counties
just
along
for
the
ride
for
years
we've
been
sending
in
this
statement
that
says,
when
you're
doing
income
tax
policy,
the
state
could
give
a
state
benefit.
By
way
of
a
tax
credit,
you
can
have
a
line
on
them
in
a
different
place.
AC
On
your
form
that
just
says
you
can
get
a
500
tax
credit
boom,
500
bucks
off
of
your
taxes
due
the
state
can
do
that
and
manicure
it
exactly
the
way
they
want.
If
they
want
to
give
a
state
benefit,
they
can
they
don't
need
to
bring
the
counties
along
and
for
the
most
part,
we've
been
throwing
marshmallows
against
a
brick
wall
on
that
policy.
It's
tough
this
year,
Governor
really
wanted
to
do
wanted
to
move
the
needle
on
income,
tax
treatment
for
seniors
and
retirees,
and
it
became
pretty
clear.
There
was
money
lying
around.
AC
This
was
sort
of
a
momentary
Surplus,
and
this
budget
had
some
had
some
some
Surplus.
There
was
a
capacity
to
do
a
number
of
things,
including
something
there
and
when
they
ironed
out
the
details,
they
followed
our
path,
so
the
state
absorbed
the
full
benefit
they
wanted
to
give
thousand
dollar
benefit
to
most
retirees
under
a
certain
income
threshold.
They
gave
it
as
a
1000,
a
dollar
state
tax
credit
if
Counties
have
the
capacity
and
the
wherewithal
to
do
something
else.
AC
On
top
of
that
either
through
your
income
taxes
or
your
property
taxes
or
something
else,
that's
going
to
be
your
call.
Potentially,
that
could
be
a
really
big
game
changer
for
the
way
they
do
sort
of
in
you
know,
intra
intra
governmental
tax
policy
if
we're
not
going
to
be
along
the
Rye
along
for
the
ride
on
big
income
tax
policy,
and
they
can
be
local
option
effectively.
That
could
be
one
of
the
bigger
takeaways.
AC
From
this
past
session
and
I
I
get
it
it's
it's,
it's
technical,
no
one's
talking
about
it,
but
this
is
the
place
you
ought
to
hear
about
it.
We
think
that's
an
important
win
on
a
high
profile
issue
and
folks
are
going
to
understand
it.
There's
a
line
item.
They
get
a
thousand
bucks
from
the
state,
a
thousand
dollars,
it's
easier
to
understand
than
subtraction
modification
calculator
on
a
worksheet
blah
blah
blah.
There's
some
benefits
to
everybody.
There
so
I
think
that's
a
good
takeaway
from
the
session
behind
us
as
well.
It.
J
Is
because,
but
you're
talking
about
a
mindset,
that's
been
in
place
forever,
where
the
one
size
fits
all,
they
don't
know
how
to
go
about
it
with
that
approach
they
don't
which
which,
like
you
said,
makes
sense,
but
you
just
see
it
every
time
you
watch
session,
you
just
see
this
just
cookie
cutter
approach
and
and
especially
jurisdictions
that
have
no
conception,
what
a
smaller
jurisdiction
does
or
what
its
focal
point
is.
But
they'll
make
this
blanket
thing
that
now
everybody
has
to
walk
to
that
and
some
maybe
now
zero
experience
into
it
whatsoever.
V
V
J
AC
Try
and
get
the
little
dogs
to
jump
through
the
hoop.
So
a
couple,
quick
things
looking
forward.
One
is
the
fiscal
circumstance
for
governing
right
now
is
really
peculiar.
The
state
just
closed
its
books
on
LA
on
last
year,
the
fiscal
year
with
a
two
billion
dollar
cash
Surplus,
which
which
sounds
like
we're
in
absurd
abundance.
I,
don't
think
anybody's,
absolutely
convinced
that
the
gangbusters
economy
that
that
your
tax
collectors
might
be
saying
is
really
the
true
economy.
AC
I
mean
measuring
jobs
and
unemployment,
and
so
forth
is
a
really
peculiar.
It's
usually
a
standard
part
of
measuring
what
the
economy
is
what's
happening
out.
There
I,
don't
think
we
totally
know
and
how
much,
how
much
things
have
been
just
buttressed
by
government
support.
Part
of
it
I
mean
there's
anyway,
question
marks
on
all
that.
AC
Usually
that
should
lead
to
short-term
thinking,
and
if
you
have
a,
if
you
have
a
surplus
of
the
moment,
you
do
some
Capital
stuff,
but
you
don't
make
a
long-term
commitment
of
this
is
something
that's
going
to
require
funds
for
each
of
the
next
30
Years
years.
I
would
hope
that
that's
the
that's
the
focus
of
State
leaders
for
the
year
ahead
I
would
absolutely
guarantee
it
part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
next
year.
AC
You're
going
to
need
a
Playbook
to
know
all
of
the
players
in
Annapolis
leadership
is
going
to
change
top
to
bottom
in
Annapolis,
more
I
mean
I've,
been
on
the
beat
for
an
awfully
long
time,
and
we've
never
had
a
year.
Anything
like
this,
a
new
governor,
a
new
comptroller,
a
new
attorney
general.
The
state
treasurer
is
relatively
new
only
months
on
the
job.
Even
the
presiding
officers,
in
both
the
Senate
and
House
are
only
a
couple
years
into
their
job.
AC
So,
like
the
idea,
the
institutional
memory,
all
the
folks
will
be
inhabit,
those
positions
will
will
be
surrounded
by
advisors
and
there
will
be
infrastructure
behind
them
and
so
forth,
but
fingers
in
the
breeze
sometimes
relying
well.
How
did
we
do
things
last
year
and
12
years
ago,
and
there
will
be
an
awful
lot
of
I
don't
care.
This
is
what
we're
doing
now
so
Mako
as
an
organization
is
pretty
well
positioned
to
handle
that,
even
though
that
is
a
shock
for
anybody
doing
this
kind
of
work,
we
are
aggressively
bipartisan.
AC
We
work
with
all
of
those
players,
everybody
who's,
going
to
be
coming
into
a
role
in
Annapolis.
We
will
have
a
relationship
either
one
that
we've
built
over
the
last
year
or
in
many
cases,
we've
built
over
a
career
and
that's
the
smart
place
for
an
organization
like
ours
to
be
positioned.
We
want
local
governments
to
be
partners
in
the
successes
that
happen
sometimes
through
Annapolis.
AC
That's
our
representation
to
you
all
you
all
before
them,
so
we'll
continue
to
make
that
effort,
no
matter
who's
occupying
all
those
seats,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
different
town,
come
January
for
sure.
So
with
that
there's
other
stuff
in
the
packet
most
that's
from
the
Conduit
Street
blog,
which
is
our
main
news
source
to
County,
County
leaders
and
and
officials
across
the
state,
but
we're
happy
to
respond
to
questions
or
talk
about
other
things.
If
they're
on
your
mind,.
B
B
So
it's
going
to
be
interesting
and
we're
having
a
lot
of
new
legislators,
and
sometimes
you
know
they
want
to
prove
themselves
and
they'll,
introduce
all
kinds
of
crazy
stuff,
and
so
we
greatly
rely
on
you
all
to
help
guide
us
through
that
help.
With
that
and
Kerwin,
you
know
I
guess
my
question
is
on
Kerwin.
Do
you
think,
there's
going
to
be
any
more
postponements
of
implementation,
I,
I.
AC
AC
Three
and
four-year-olds
opportunities
for
publicly
provided
Pre-K
full
day,
Pre-K
and
free
to
an
awful
lot
of
families,
and
the
the
physical
space
issue
is
the
biggest
challenge
there
there's
some
degree
of
getting
private
providers
of
daycare
today
to
become
qualified
and
licensed
providers
of
pre-K
tomorrow,
and
that
transition
is
it's
just
it's
not
in
anybody's
DNA.
No
in
a
public
sector
knows
that
kind
of
business.
Getting
from
here
to
there
a
lot
lots
of
states
have
done
it.
A
number
of
counties
have
made
a
lot
of
progress.
AC
For
all
intents
and
purposes
I
mean
we
are,
you
know,
turning
over
couch
cushions,
trying
to
come
up
with
clever
ways
to
bring
in
people
just
so
you
can
run
buses,
so
you
can
serve
lunches,
and
so
you
can
keep
the
lights
on
in
the
schools
and
that
challenge
is
well
if
we're
built.
If
we've
built
everything
off
of
a
2018
cost
model,
have
we
already
obsoleted
ourselves,
either
temporarily
or
permanently,
and
those
are
legitimate
questions,
but
then
they
beg
well.
AC
Do
you
go
back
and
rewrite
the
bills
and
rewrite
all
those
expectations
and
write
up
all
the
formulas
again,
I
think
the
answer
for
some
folks
in
Annapolis
will
be
yeah
it's
time
to
do
that.
Let's
do
Kerwin,
you
know
whatever
3.3
or
something
along
those
lines.
I,
don't
know
what
sounds
next,
but
if
you
wanted
to
ask
me,
is
the
error
likely
to
be
later
or
sooner
I'd
say
sooner
more
expensive
or
less
expensive?
I
would
guess
more
expensive?
Well,.
V
One
of
the
things
I
was
surprised
about
was
I
assumed.
That's
a
bad
word
right
that
once
even
once
curtain
was
passed
and
we
saw
the
the
10-year
build
out
of
what
percentage
increase
every
County
was
going
to
have
each
year
that
that
was
the
number
I
was
a
little
surprised
when
they're
presenting
budgets
that
are
over
and
above
those
Kerwin
numbers
and
I've
had
some
conversations
during
budget
time.
You
know
with
a
superintendent
I'm
like
why.
Why
didn't
they?
They
spent
all
these
years,
studying
it.
V
Why
did
they
not
Factor
these
things
in
they're
like
well?
In
order
to
do
X,
we
have
to
pay
for
this
and
it
and
it,
and
so
that's
not
a
number,
so
we
don't
have
any
idea.
You
know
what
we
can
plan
for
you
know
in
in
the
out
years
and
then
what
Michael's
mentioning
on
top
of
it?
It's
just
you
know.
So
such
a
large
part
of
our
budgets
I
mean
it's
important.
B
No
we're
lucky
in
cover,
we
are,
you
know,
we're
one
of
the
ones
that
are
pretty
close
so
but
for
those
jurisdictions
that
are
way
behind
I,
don't
know
how
they
come
up
with
that
Revenue
Source
in
that
short,
a
period
of
time
to
catch
up,
because
that's
quite
a
bite
for
some
of
those
counties.
Absolutely
right:
yeah
yeah
we're
just
lucky:
we
are
where
we
are
but
and
the
other
thing
I
guess
is
police
accountability
board.
B
AC
The
like
the
60
second
version
is
I
think
I'll
start
every
county
is
making
a
good
faith
effort
to
live
up
to
what
this
state
vision
is
to
have
civilian
oversight
for
all
of
our
law
enforcement
is
the
vision
from
Annapolis,
not
surprisingly,
they've
left
the
follow
through
at
the
county
level.
That's
awkward
in
lots
of
places,
particularly
I
mean
just
up
the
road
in
Prince
George's
County
they've
got
something
like
27
Municipal
and
campus
police
departments
that
all
are
going
to
go
through
their
administrative
hearing.
A
AC
And
so
forth,
I
mean
it's
just
it's
it's
a
really
peculiar
process:
they've
envisioned
we've
gotten
two
curveballs
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
Finding
out
that
our
senior
judges,
who
would
be
perfect
candidates
to
chair
the
trial
board,
are
now
declared
off
limits
for
ethics
reasons,
and
they
were
literally
written
into
the
bill
as
the
people
you
go
to
to
run
that
process
and
now
they're
off
the
table,
apparently,
and
second,
the
training
requirement
for
an
administrative
charging
committee,
you're
asking
citizen
volunteers
to
serve
in
that
capacity.
AC
It
requires
some
knowledge,
but
five
consecutive
days
of
eight
hours
of
training
for,
for
you
know,
for
what's
going
to
be
either
a
volunteer
or
a
modest
stipend
conversation
county
by
county.
We
have
a
number
of
jurisdictions
who
have
gone
from.
We
had
18
volunteers
for
the
ACC
and
now
we're
down
to
none
once
they
heard
that
they
have
to
take
an
entire
work
week
and
commit
literally
hour
by
hour
sure.
J
V
Rights
are
going
to
stay
upset
at
all
times
in
Talbot
we
interviewed
everybody.
We
we
figured
out
kind
of
on
paper
who,
who
we
were
interested
in
and
interviewed
a
couple
extras
just
in
case
and
I
was
actually
felt
a
lot
better
better
after
the
process
about
who
who
we're
putting
on
there
and
their
reasons
for
for
being
there.
It
wasn't
a
gotcha
board
and
why
they
didn't
do
like
one
day
a
week
for
five
weeks
or
something
like
that
or
give
that
virtual
option.
I
mean
they're
shooting
themselves
in
the
foot.
V
J
B
A
A
B
But
it
is
has
been
an
interesting
process.
I
have
to
say
that
right,
you
know
we
did
had.
You
know
a
lot
of
Citizen
input.
We
did
our
public
meetings
and
to
establish,
and
so
we
had
good
input
and
but
moving
forward.
You
know
I
say
all
the
time
for
us.
You
know
we're
a
small
County.
It
wasn't
that
hard,
but
for
the
big
counties,
I
can't
imagine
Prince
George's,
County,
Montgomery
and
Baltimore
I.
Just
can't
imagine
taking
on
this
task.
AC
I
think
you're
right
about
that,
and,
and
just
just
the
the
shape
of
this,
the
idea
that
it's
like
two
or
three
paragraphs
in
the
build
the
county
shall
do
that
just
handle
all
this
stuff
is
I
mean,
sadly
it's
it's,
it's
Annapolis
at
its
worst,
where
that
part
of
the
bill
should
have
required,
should
have
taken
an
awful
lot
more
time
and
instead
it
was
well
we'll
we'll
just
you
know,
we'll
send
this
down.
It.
AC
AC
They
passed
in
2021
and
and
a
big
chunk
of
the
legislature
felt
the
bill
didn't
go
far
enough
and
a
big
chunk
of
the
legislature
fellow
went
too
far
so
to
bring
it
up
and
really
change
it
during
the
election
year
felt
like
a
long
shot
and
ultimately,
they
ironed
out
some
tiny
wrinkles,
but
they
didn't
take
up.
Anything
really
substantive
in
22.
AC
were
post-election
we'll
have
some
new
players
and
we'll
have
some
more
on
the
ground.
Experience
jurisdictions
will
say:
there's
no
human
being
in
our
County
who
can
actually
fulfill
this
role.
That's
going
to
be
the
case,
I
think
that
provides
a
window
to
come
back
and
look
at
things
and
potentially
do
you
know
nine
changes
to
the
bill
that
leave
the
vision
intact,
but
the
implementation
more
reasonable
and
maybe
more
balanced,
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
outcome.
AC
Now
Annapolis
is
not
perfect
at
always
finding
reasonable
and
sensible
outcomes,
but
I
think
there's
a
path
here,
because
it's
post-election
and
because
we've
had
some
things
that
have
sort
of
come
up
that
have
been
out
of
their
hands.
We're
doing
this
because
the
ethics
commission
made
this
Rule
and
we
have
to
make
these
changes
not
because
we
changed
our
mind
or
we
were
wrong
in
the
first
place.
Everybody
says
face:
it's
fine,
but
I.
B
AC
B
Thought
we
were
but
I
hadn't
heard
about
the
judge
issue,
so
I
wasn't
sure
how
that
would
so
we're
going
to
keep
moving
forward,
yep
and
hope
it
all
works
out.
I
don't
have
any
more
questions.
Gentlemen,
yeah,
we've
foreign
well
you're,
we're
gonna
have
lunch
after
this
is
over.
We
got
a
little
bit
more
business
to
take.
V
M
X
AC
AC
B
And
I
do
want
to
thank
Laura
for
her
service,
as
she
said,
she's
she's
on
her
way
out
of
office,
and
you
know
all
the
officers
of
Mako
or
elected
officials
from
different
counties.
So
you
know
it's
bad
enough
doing
this
job
and
then
volunteering
to
do
that
job
and
run
another
organization.
So
thank
you
for
your
service.
O
The
board
has
adopted
resolution
in
1989
intending
to
maintain
the
order
in
decorum
of
the
governmental
process
a
copy
is
found
here
to
my
right.
The
ethics
commission
has
asked
us
to
remind
speakers
of
public
comment
that
lobbyists
include
those
who
seek
to
influence
public
policy
and
must
register
in
advance.
Floor
has
been
open
to
public
comment.
AC
S
S
But
anyway,
I
commend
you
for
your
comments
and
particularly
since
commissioner
Hart
I
live
in
Solomon's.
I
totally
agree
with
your
observations
about
the
Thomas
Johnson
bridge
and
president
Hance
I.
Think
you
raised
a
number
of
extremely
compelling
points
that
consultants
and
the
department
of
Planning
and
Zoning
should
take
into
account
when
looking
to
something
like
growth
in
the
county
and
evaluating
traffic.
Why?
S
Because
the
methodology
that
Consultants
use
may
be
technically
correct,
but
not
necessarily
conclude
all
considerations
so,
for
example,
in
2014,
the
county
had
a
comprehensive
water
and
sewerage
plant
that
set
the
number
of
houses
that
they
residences
that
they
expected
to
see
in
the
county
through
2040.
in
2017,
the
state
or
the
county
did
the
last
Highway
plan
in
2016
through
2020
Calvert
County
allowed
a
growth
rate
of
residences,
that's
four
times
higher
than
what
they
approved
in
their
2014
plan.
These.
This
is
the
number
of
residences
that
they
expected
to
see
through
2040.
S
and
then
in
2019.
Calvert
County
announced
another
town
center
expansion
plan
that
essentially
adopted
the
same
Target
level
of
residences
in
2040
as
they
set
in
2014,
except
that
they
were
already
allowing
far
more
Construction
in
the
county
than
was
in
the
plan
and
then
by
2022
they
added
an
additional
proposed,
an
additional
10
000,
more
residences.
S
So
so
again,
I'm
just
calling
to
thank
you
calling
on
you
to
thank
you
for
the
penetrating
observations
that
you
made
and
ask
you
to
keep
asking
questions
that
go
beyond
do
not
be
distracted
by
the
methodology
of
consultants
and
that's
what
the
department
of
Planning
and
Zoning
depends
on.
You've
got
to
go
beyond
that
to
evaluate
all
the
factors.
O
J
Q
Good
afternoon,
Commissioners
Joe
Cormier
from
Owings
Maryland
I,
just
want
to
a
couple
bullet
points
here
with
a
fourth
bus
tier
child,
whether
I
drop
them
off
or
put
them
on
the
bus
I'm,
not
starting
my
commute
until
after
9
15.
and
through
the
whole
discussion
about
traffic.
There
was
no
discussion
of
public
transport,
there's
no
way
for
someone
in
North
Beach
to
get
down
to
Solomon's
without
a
car.
So
unless
we're
going
to
have
some
sort
of
public
transport
I,
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
fix
the
traffic
problem.
Q
Elementary
are
they
in
the
town
center
and
is
that
going
to
affect
their
ability
to
get
funding
for
this
septic
system?
And
if
so,
doesn't
that
bring
the
point
that
we
should
also
keep
Huntington
high
school?
You
know
into
a
town
center
so
that
we
don't
run
into
those
problems
in
the
future
register
to
vote.
Early
voting
starts
October
27th
as
we
talk
about
changing
Zoning
for
indoor
smoking,
I
think
that's
the
wrong
direction,
I
think.
As
a
county.
Q
We
should
be
coming
up
with
zoning
variances
that
ban
indoor
smoking,
regardless
of
where
you're
at
and
for
tdrs
the
county
defines
what
a
TDR
is
sets
the
number
of
ttrs
required
to
build
something
and
sets
the
price.
If
the
county
is
going
to
pay
5
000,
why
would
a
landowner
ever
pay
3,
000
or
charge
3
000
to
someone
else
if
they
can
get
five
thousand
so
I?
Q
Q
It
was
a
great
day
to
get
people
out
and
bring
awareness
for
opioid
abuse,
and
we
talked
about
mental
health
today
and
that's
all
affecting
our
kids
every
day
and
to
your
point
for
preparedness
again,
Puerto
Rico
is
struggling
with
the
hurricane
right
now
and
anything
we
can
do
through
the
county
or
the
state
to
help
our
fellow
Americans.
That's
something
we
should
be
looking
at.
Thank
you
so
much.
J
It's
I'm
going
to
read
this
whole
thing
here
says
it
brings
in
an
Innovative
research
and
leading
Edge
treatments
to
our
citizens
and
gives
the
Calvert
health
staff
access
to
the
latest.
Thinking
in
the
Cancer
Care
from
the
experts
who
are
doing
the
research,
Dean
Teague
said
what
we're
building
isn't
as
important
as
who
we're
building
it.
For
excuse
me,
as
isn't
as
important
as
what
we're
building
but
who
we're
building
it
for
the
hundreds
of
newly
diagnosed
cancer
patients
treated
every
year
in
the
thousands
of
cancer
survivors
who
need
ongoing
care
and
support.
J
It's
an
amazing
benefit
for
the
county
and
thank
you
Calvert
Health.
It
was
a
football
weekend.
I
saw
Pax
played
La
Plato
on
Friday
and
the
Solomon
Steelers
play
on
Saturday
and
went
to
Art,
Fest
and
I.
Say
it
every
year,
don't
just
think
of
Art
Fest
as
just
art.
There
is
something
there
for
all
walks
of
life
for
every
age
group.
My
kids
have
enjoyed
it
from
when
they
were
just
barely
old
enough
to
walk
to.
Even
now
it
is
such
a
great
event.
I
encourage
everyone
every
year
to
go.
H
The
weather
over
the
last
week
has
been
incredible
and
I.
We
saw
an
amazing
turnout
at
so
many
different
events.
As
commissioner
Hart
mentioned,
the
Arts
Fest,
it
was
so
crowded
that
it
appeared
to
almost
have
a
half
an
hour.
Wait
just
to
get
into
the
parking
lot.
I
was
not
able
to
attend.
I
wish
I
could
have
Sunday
at
the
Waterman's
Festival
amazing
turnout
up
there
I've
never
seen
that
many
people.
At
that
event,
they
gave
out
an
award
for
the
oldest
person
there
in
attendance.
X
H
96.
no
I
didn't
know
because
I
was
there
96
years
old,
the
youngest
was
under
one.
So
it's
truly
an
event
for
all
ages
to
see
a
40
or
50
foot
working
boat,
sit
there
start
off
over
here,
come
up
back
into
a
slip
and
hook.
Four
Corners
in
17
seconds
is
something
you
really
got
to
see.
So,
if
you
can,
you
can
look
it
up.
There's
there's
plenty
of
videos
out
there
for
it.
Make
it
next
year
make
it
make
it
a
destination
to
go
to
next
year.
H
We
have
been
on
a
separate
note.
We've
been
had
the
pleasure
of
dealing
with
pumpkin
spice
everything
for
the
past
three
weeks.
However,
Thursday
in
less
than
two
days
fall
actually
begins,
so
we
can
officially
enjoy
fall.
We
can
start
enjoying
the
pumpkins
and
stuff
like
that.
Looking
forward
to
Thanksgiving
I
already
saw
Christmas
decor
put
out
and
we're
not
even
we're,
not
even
in
the
month
of
Halloween,
so
let
it
come
as
it
comes
on
a
positive.
The
most
positive
closing
note
I
could
come
up
with
Sunday
evening.
F
A
B
Thank
you
so
I
too,
attended
the
event
at
hospital
where
they
announced
their
partnership
with
Duke,
University
and
I
I,
don't
know
exactly,
but
that's
probably
the
most
significant
Improvement
to
health
care
in
Calvert
County's
history.
To
think
that
you
can
go
to
Calvert
Health
Hospital
in
Prince
Frederick
and
get
the
same
technical
advisement
for
your
cancer
cares.
You
can
get
at
Duke
University
and
they
said
that
day.
If,
if
your
situation
is
something
that
they
can't
handle,
you
automatically
get
transferred
to
Duke.
B
So
that's
quite
an
achievement
for
Calvert
health,
so
we
can't
say
enough
to
commend
them
for
all
the
hard
work
it
took
to
get
that
partnership.
Developed
I
too,
was
at
the
boat
docking
contest
and
the
most
amazing
thing
that
day
I
saw
was
that
eight-year-old
girl
about
that
37-foot
boat.
You
know
she
wasn't
the
fastest
but
she's
eight
years
old.
Just
think
about
that.
32.
B
Crazy
years
old
dock
that
boat,
it's
awesome
never
hit
a
pollen,
no
from
what
I
saw.
So
that
was
the
most
exciting
thing.
I
thought
about
talking
and
again,
Arts
Fest
place
was
packed,
but
we
had
excellent
weather
and
there
were
so
many
events
going
on
last
weekend
that
you
know
you
just
can't
cover
them
all
and,
as
commissioner
William
says,
Calvert
County
Fair
kicks
off
Sunday
with
Miss
Tranquility
contest
at.
G
B
At
2
30
at
the
fairgrounds
in
the
main
building
and
then
the
fair,
officially
gates
open
on
Wednesday
at
four
o'clock
earlier.
There
was
some
discussion
that
someone
asked
if
we
had
a
goal
of
preservation
in
Calvert
County,
we
do.
Our
goal
is
40
000,
acres
and
I
think
we're
currently
at
about
34
35
000.
So
we've
still
got
some
work
to
do
in
that
area.
We
also
announced
this
morning
that
this
is
suicide
prevention
month
and
I'm
going
to
announce
again.
You
know
this
morning.
