BUT WE PARTNERED WITH THE STATE IN THE SYSTEM THAT'S CALLED HERITAGE AREAS, AND THIS IS HOW WE FIT IN. THIS IS OUR BOUNDARY THAT WAS CREATED AGAIN BY THE COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES. AND IF A PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN THIS BOUNDARY , THAT MEANS THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS SPECIAL STATE FUNDS. SO IT'S A MARYLAND INCIDENT ZONE.

WE ARE ALSO THE MANAGEMENT ENTITY FOR THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA SCENIC HIGHWAY, WHICH IS THE RUDE, BASICALLY, THE ROAD PORTION OF THE HERITAGE AREA IS TO BRING FOLKS OFF OF 95 OFF OF ROUTE ONE TO THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED.

WITH US, AND NOW WE WERE ABLE TO IN CONJUNCTION WITH MASON DIXON TRAIL SYSTEM AND A LOT OF OTHER PARTNERS, UM, PUT A TRAIL SYSTEM , UH, THROUGH THE QUARRY EDGE.

I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE TRAIN TRACKS TO FOLLOW ALL THE WAY UP THE RIVER TO THE DAM, AND WHEN I WAS A KID, THEY WERE STILL BEING USED. BUT OBVIOUSLY SINCE AGNES AND 72 THEY WERE WIPED OUT IN MANY PLACES, AND I NOTICED YOUR TRAILS AROUND VULCAN AND SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT RAILWAY BED, RIGHT? YES SO WE HAVE A REALLY BIG PUSH. WE JUST ACTUALLY MET WITH BALKAN TODAY WITH PAUL MAGNUS. DIRECTOR PARKS AND REC, UM, INVOLVED IN TO SEE HOW WE CAN AT LEAST GET THE PORTION THE REAL PORTION FROM KIND OF GO DOWN, AT LEAST TO LAUGH AT THEM. ON THE RAIL BED. WHAT WILL THAT TAKE? WE KNOW IT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED FROM KIND OF GO DOWN DOWN TO STAFFORD ROAD. YES AND THEN FROM STAFFORD ROUTE TO DEER CREEK TRESTLE BRIDGE. UM MASON DIXON FORCED TO PASS THROUGH WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY, BUT IT'S NOT ON THE REAL BED, BUT IT MEETS THE IT STARTS TO MEET BACK ONTO THE REAL BED AT THE TRESTLE BRIDGE AND GOES TO THE GRIST MILL. AND THEN FROM THE GRIST MILL TO LAUGH AT HIM LANDING AND I APOLOGIZE. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT TO UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT THAT IS AN UNMAINTAINED TRAIL. THAT DOESN'T MEAN FOLKS. DON'T USE IT. I HAVE LOTS OF PHOTOS TO SHOOT. FOLKS USE IT WHAT WE NEED TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE SAFE PASSAGE SO THAT THEY'RE NOT WALKING ON STAFFORD ROAD. IF ANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH STAFFORD ROAD, IT'S A UM, SINGLE LINK. IT'S A IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD, BUT YEAH, VERY WORKING ON GETTING THAT ELENA AND A HALF EXACTLY. THAT'S EXACTLY HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO PULL OFF. BUT NOT TOO FAR AND THEN WE'RE WORKING WITH D. N. R TO GET THE TRAIL BUILT UP TO 95. TO CONNECT WITH BALKAN COUNCIL. UH, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ANYONE.

[17. COMMENTS AND INPUT FROM ATTENDING CITIZENS]

WE HAVE EIGHT SPEAKERS THIS EVENING, MR PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MISS DIXON AGAIN. UH THREE MINUTES FOR HER SPEAKER. CALL YOUR FIRST SPEAKER. KATIE GONNA KNOW, FOLLOWED BY LAUREN HEUSER.

GOOD EVENING, MA'AM NAME AND RECORD TEAM AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME AGAIN. IT'S LAUREN HEUSER. IT'S 2087 STEWART DRIVE IN FALLSTON. IT'S 21047. UM SO I CAME TO TALK TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE PLEASANTLY MADE SOME HEADWAY IN THE FOSTER DEPARTMENT PROJECT. UM COUNCILMAN PENMAN. I'M SURE HAVING THE DEVELOPERS HERE HELPED UM, AS A REPRESENTATIVE, I STILL MAINTAIN THAT YOU HEARD OUR CONCERNS OVER EMAIL PHONE CALLS AND THAT THE COMMUNITY INPUT MEETING AND I STILL FEEL THAT THE CORRECT PLAY WOULD HAVE BEEN TO A BIAS.

SECOND STITCH OOH INTS ON ZONING CODE, THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND ALL OF THE AREAS THAT THE PROJECT WAS LACKING. TO ASSURE US THAT IT WAS WITHIN YOUR POWER TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. AMEND ZONING CODE AND EVEN FUND FUTURE SCHOOLS THROUGH IMPACT FEES. BUT INSTEAD WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A DONE DEAL, BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE PLANS THAT COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE APPROVAL. AND THAT YOU WERE ADVOCATING FOR THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND HIS PROPERTY RIGHTS BECAUSE YOU MADE AN EXPENSIVE BUSINESS PURCHASE. BUT WE DID. WE EDUCATED OURSELVES SO NOW AS A HAPPY RESULT, THERE'S AN ARMY OF PEOPLE AND DISTRICT BE EDUCATED ON LOCAL ZONING CODE IMPACT FEES , SCHOOL CAPACITY AND FORECASTING ISSUES. ZONING DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE. WETLANDS RAINBOW TROUT. ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ORDINANCES. THE COUNTY'S MASTER PLAN. FAILING INTERSECTIONS, TRAFFIC COUNTS AND RD SETBACKS AND THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED PER APARTMENT UNIT. NOW WE BEGIN REVIEW OF THE HARFORD COUNTY CHARTER CHARTER AND THE SECTION ON QUALIFICATION OF COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE'VE READ MEETING MINUTES AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING NOTES GOING BACK YEARS. WE PICKED UP ON OTHER THINGS THAT ARE LACKING NOT QUITE RIGHT AND DOWNRIGHT SHADY. SO WE'VE MADE SOME HEADWAY ON THE PFOSTEN APARTMENT PROJECT. BUT NOW, LIKE I SAID, WE'VE NOTICED OTHER THINGS, THINGS THAT AREN'T QUITE RIGHT AND LEGISLATION THAT WE FEEL NEEDS TO BE REVISITED. WE STAND WITH PERRIMAN. WE DON'T THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO SAY THAT. YOU APPRECIATE US COMING OUT, BUT THE PERRIMAN'S BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. THAT SHAMEFUL THAT'S A YEAR AND A HALF PEOPLE TAKING OFF WORK, ARRANGING FOR CHILD CARE TO COME HERE AND ASK FOR HELP. WE DON'T APPRECIATE AN UPDATE ON YOUR MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO DISCUSS SCHOOL FORECASTING THE POTENTIAL MODIFICATION OF THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ORDINANCE.

THIS COULD PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR SCHOOLS. AND COUNCILMAN GUTHRIE. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE LAST MEETING, IT WAS REFRESHING TO FEEL HEARD ON THAT ISSUE ABOUT THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ORDINANCE. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE MUCH NEEDED DEEP DIVE INTO SCHOOL FORECASTING AND THE EMISSION OF B THREE ZONED PROPERTY FROM THOSE FIGURES. AND FINALLY, LAST WEEK, I SPOKE ABOUT A MAJOR OVERSIGHT WHEN IT CAME TO IMPACT FEES. HOW THEY'VE NOT BEEN UPDATED, ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION SINCE 2004 WHEN THEY WERE ADOPTED. I'D LOVE TO HEAR

[00:35:03]

I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE TIER TWO HIGH QUALITY WATERS . REVIEW FOR PROJECTS MORE INFORMATION REGARDING MARYLAND'S TIER TWO HIGH WORK QUALITY WATERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE AGENCY WEB PAGE. AFTER CHECKING THE TIER TWO ONLINE MAP. THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IS LOCATED WITHIN THE TIER TWO WATERSHED OF LITTLE GUNPOWDER FALLS FOR WHICH HAS NO ASSIMILATED CAPACITY.

THIS MEANS THAT DATA HAS SHOWN THAT THE TIER TWO STREAM HAS THE GRADED BELOW TIER TWO STANDARDS.

IF THE PROJECT WILL REQUIRE WE WILL REQUIRE A STATE APPROVAL PERMIT OR AUTHORIZATION. IT WILL ALSO NEED TO UNDERGO TEAR TO REVIEW AS PART OF THE REVIEW, THE APPLICANT MAY HAVE TO PROVIDE A TEAR TO REPORT INCLUDING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION IF THE APPLICANT CANNOT FULLY MITIGATE IMPACTS. I WON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE IMPACTS ARE UNTIL SOMEONE APPLIES FOR THE STATE AUTHORIZATION APPROVAL OR PERMIT END QUOTE. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON TIER TWO WATERS BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. AND I FOUND OUT THIS INFORMATION THAT CURRENTLY 44% OF ALL TIER TWO STREAMS HAVE NO ASSIMILATED CAPACITY. WORTH NOTING IS THAT EVEN IF A TIER TWO WATER IS DEGRADED BELOW THE ASSIMILATED CAPACITY THRESHOLD, THE WATER IS STILL DESIGNATED AS TIER TWO. HAVING NO CAPACITY MEANS THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL STEPS REQUIRED IN A TEAR TO REVIEW THE PURPOSE OF THE TIER TWO ANTI DEGRADATION REVIEW IS CHEAP, PREVENT FURTHER DEGRADATION TO HIGH QUALITY WATERS AS A RESULT OF PERMITTED ACTIVITIES. AND IF THERE IS NO ASSIMILATED CAPACITY IN TIER TWO WATER, THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS STREAM HAS DEGRADED BELOW TIER TWO STANDARDS THAN A MORE SUBSTANTIAL JUSTIFICATION FOR REMAINING IMPACTS IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE TIER TWO REVIEW IS SATISFIED. AND UM, IT'S THE PROCESS. DETERMINING DETERMINING ASSIMILATED CAPACITY CAN BE FOUND AT COM OUR REGULATIONS 26 080204-1. AND THEY STAYED AS FOLLOWS. WATERS OF THIS STATE SHALL BE PROTECTED AND MAINTAINED FOR EXISTING USES AND THE BASIC USES OF WATER CONTACT RECREATION. PHISHING PROTECTION OF AQUATIC WILDLIFE. AND AGRICULTURAL ETCETERA. SO I ASKED YOU TO. PLEASE TAKE THE ENVIRONMENT INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY PROJECT IN HARFORD COUNTY MOVES FORWARD. IF YOU LIVE IN AND LOVE HARFORD COUNTY, AND I THINK WE ALL DO THEN PLEASE STOP ALLOWING IT TO BE OVER DEVELOPED. WE CAN STOP OVER DEVELOPMENT TOGETHER AND PRESERVE HARFORD COUNTY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THANK YOU, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, SIR. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING, JOSH CASAL, 11 06 EMERALD DRIVE, BEL AIR MARYLAND, 21047. I WANTED TO TALK TONIGHT ON A TOPIC THAT WAS BROUGHT UP DURING THE COMMENTS BY THE COUNCIL. AND THAT WAS BY YOU, MR PENMAN AT 3 15 AND 3 17 MOUNTAIN ROAD. UM I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THIS GROUP STRONG PEOPLE. BUT

[00:40:01]

LOOKING AT IT FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION IN TRAFFIC LENS. A FULL DECELL AND ACCELERATION LANES ARE NEEDED ON 1 52 FOR THIS ENTRANCE AND EXIT SPEED LIMITS ON 1 50 TO WARRANT 100 630 FT DECELERATION LANE. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS OF THE CULVERT PIPE UNDER 1 52.

PLANNING A LEFT HAND OR PLANNING A LEFT HAND, TURN OUT OF THE PROPERTY ON 1 52 TO HEAD SOUTH IS A NIGHTMARE IN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS WOULD ALSO MEAN THAT ALL FALLSTON VILLAGE SHOPPERS COULD USE THE APARTMENT EXIT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON 1 52 , WHICH CURRENTLY THEY CAN'T DO SO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING OUT ON 1 52 IN TRAFFIC IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS NOT JUST APARTMENT PEOPLE, BUT ALSO SHOPPING CENTER PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HEAD ONTO A SOUTH AND 1 52.

THE SIGHT DISTANCE. THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THAT FROM THE PROPOSED APARTMENT EXIT, UM, DUE TO THE ELEVATION CHANGE AT THE ALLOCATION. LOOKING AT IT FROM A SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. SOME GREAT THINGS WERE JUST BROUGHT UP THIS EVENING, BUT THERE IS NO WETLANDS BORDER IN THE PLANS. GRADING INTO THE NATURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT. IT'S ABOUT 40 TO 75 FT AND ENCROACHMENT ON THE NRDC'S THROUGHOUT. DATING FROM STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PONDS GOES RIGHT TO THE EDGE OF THE STREAM. THE DESIGN SHOWS GRADING BEYOND THEIR TREE CLEARING LINE.

I'M MOVING THE STORM DRAIN FROM OTHERS INTO THE N R. D. QUESTION. WHY IS IT EVEN GETTING MOVED MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE PARKING LOT IN PERVIOUS PAVEMENT THAT THEY'RE PLANNING FOR. THE TENANT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AREA OR THE ACTIVE SPACE REQUIREMENT. THEY ARE USING EVERY INCH FROM THE APARTMENT ENTRANCE, SIDEWALK TO THE SIDE OF EACH BUILDING UP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. WHAT IS REALLY GOING TO GO BETWEEN 24 STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE 80 FT, OFF OF 1 52. ALSO WITH THE ADDED TREES AND BUSHES. THIS SPACE IS ACTUALLY SMALLER AND LOOKS TO FALL SHORT OF THE, UH, 0.104 ACRE NEEDED BY ALMOST HALF. I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER THIS TIER CHEW REVIEW DID SUCH A GREAT JOB THANK YOU. BUT HERE'S THE PROOF RIGHT OFF OF THE MAP. IT SHOWS IT RIGHT IN THE TIER SHOE ZONE WITH A SIMILAR TO CAPACITY REMAINING. NO MR CASAL, PLEASE BRING YOUR COMMENTS TO A CLOSE. SEE YOU NEXT TIME. THANK YOU. DIANA'S SADOWSKI, FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM MARTINO. GOOD EVENING, MA'AM. HELLO DIANA SADOWSKI. 11 13 STRUM COULD DRIVE PFOSTEN, MARYLAND. THE OBVIOUS OVERDEVELOPMENT HERE IN HARTFORD COUNTY TRANSCENDS POLITICAL PARTY LINES. IT'S ONE DRIVEN BY HUMAN GREED. THE BOTTOM LINE. IS WE THE CITIZENS OF HARFORD COUNTY WANT A PEACEFUL, PEACE FILLED EXISTENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. HARFORD COUNTY'S RURAL NATURE TRANSLATES TO ONE OF PEACE. HOWEVER, DUE TO ONE CHECKED OVER DEVELOPMENT, IT'S TURNED MANY AREAS INTO A GIANT MESS. ONCE PEACEFUL AND PEACE FILLED AREAS ARE NOW STRESSFUL AND STRESS FILLED.

QUALITY OF LIFE IS BEING SACRIFICED FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR THAT FILLS THE POCKETS OF DEVELOPERS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. THERE ARE SELF SERVING BUNCH WHO PRETEND TO HELP THE COMMUNITY.

HOWEVER DESTRUCTION OF THE COMMUNITY IS MORE LIKE IT. HOW MANY CAR WASHES NAIL SALONS, RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL SPACES ARE NEEDED. ALL THE WHILE MANY SPACES REMAIN VACANT, BECOMING AN EYESORE TO COMMUNITIES THAT THEY'RE IN. HOW MANY MORE ARE NECESSARY BEFORE WE ALL SAY ENOUGH? IT'S BECOMING A BATTLE BETWEEN US AND THEM. YES I AND OTHERS WILL STAND HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OVERDEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAVING ON OUR COUNTY INCREASED CRIME, TRAFFIC, OVERCROWDING, SCHOOLS, OVERSTRETCHED EMERGENCY SERVICES AND HOSPITALS, DESTRUCTION OF WATERWAYS AND OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. GUESS WHAT EACH ONE OF YOU WORKING WITH US IN THE COMMUNITY HAD THE ABILITY TO TURN THIS NEGATIVITY AROUND. CONTRARY TO WHAT MY DISTRICT BE

[00:45:02]

IN MY HEART, SIR. YOU AND OTHERS ON THE COUNCIL ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. OVERDEVELOPMENT IS NOT IMPROVING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. WILL YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OVERDEVELOPMENT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL? WILL YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BUILDING A BUILDING MORATORIUM MAY BE NECESSARY. I WON'T BE GETTING HERE ANSWERS FROM DEVELOPERS BECAUSE THE INCREASE IN BRICK AND MORTAR RELATES TO CASH IN THEIR POCKETS AND THE POCKETS OF THEIR SUPPORTERS. THINK ABOUT THESE QUESTIONS. PERHAPS YOU CAN ADDRESS THEM LATER THIS EVENING. I'VE SAID BEFORE THAT NOT EVERY PLOT OF GRASS MUST BE OCCUPIED BY BRICK AND MORTAR. MR PENMAN. NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, HOW MANY WORK HOURS WILL BE DEVOTED TO FIGHTING CRIME? HOW MANY HOURS WOULD BE DEVOTED TO YOUR CONSTITUENT CONCERNS HOW MANY HOURS WOULD BE DEVOTED TO DEVELOPERS AND OTHER SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN? LOOKS LIKE TIME MANAGEMENT IS GOING TO BE AN OBVIOUS PRIORITY FOR YOU. I SEE MUCH CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE OF YOUR TIES WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND WITH DEVELOPERS AND PERHAPS RECUSALS, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE, TOO. MR VINCENTI LAST WEEK, YOU SAID THIS WAS THE PEOPLE'S CHAMBERS, AND I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO STAND HERE AND TALK TO YOU. BUT ALSO LAST WEEK YOU WERE RATHER TERSE WITH A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS ASKING QUESTIONS REGARDING COUNCIL MEMBERS. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? I DO? YOU ALSO INDICATED THAT YOU WOULD NOT ENTERTAIN INNUENDO OR RUMOR. RUMOR CAME THROUGH YESTERDAY, BUT IT WASN'T THAT NIGHTMARE. THE CREDIBILITY OF THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN TARNISHED. I THINK THAT YOU OWE THAT YOUNG MAN AN APOLOGY. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THAT YOUNG MAN. OKAY GOOD BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND SECRECY . I AND I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM. BUT I CAN'T LOOK AT THIS COUNCIL IN THE SAME WAY. FURTHER SADNESS FOR OUR COUNTY. I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THIS RIGHT IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, SIR. WILLIAM MARTINO, 12 70 FOR ROAD FOR STILL I'VE BEEN ADOPTED BY FALLSTON. MY FAMILY MOVED TO HARTFORD COUNTY IN 1981 FROM NEW JERSEY. COMPARED TO NEW JERSEY 19 EIGHTIES, HARFORD COUNTY SEEMS LIKE PARADISE. THE CROWN JEWEL WITHIN THIS PARADISE AT THAT TIME WAS THE FALLSTON AREA. I GREW UP IN THE BELL AREA, BUT DREAM TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE IN THE FALLSTON REGION. THAT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE. I CAN RECALL PRESIDENT REAGAN COMING THE FALLSTON HIGH SCHOOL IN 1986. YES. ALL THE GOOD STUFF WAS HAPPENING THERE. WELL, I COULD NEVER AFFORD TO LIVE IN FALLSTON. ALTHOUGH MY ADDRESSES AND FORREST HILL WITH HIS REALLY MORE IN JARRETTSVILLE MY CHILD AND GRANDCHILDREN LIVED IN FALLSTON. I WAS SO HAPPY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE HOME THERE YEARS AGO. THREE TIMES A WEEK. MY WIFE AND I WOULD PROVIDE CARE FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO ATTEND SCHOOL YET.

EARLY IN THE MORNING. WE PICK UP THE GRANDKIDS AT THEIR HOME, WHICH IS ON A SIDE STREET OFF OF 1 52. AND I WAIT AND I WAIT. AND I WAIT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON THE MOUNTAIN ROAD. AND I STOPPED LIGHT AFTER LIGHT. AFTER LIGHT. AS I JOURNEY DOWN 1 52 HEADING NORTHWEST. AND I HAVE TO WAIT WHILE 100 BOSSES AND 1000 PARENTS DROP OFF THEIR CHILDREN JAMMING UP THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOUTH BENEFIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. MEANWHILE IT'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT TIME LATER IN THE GRANDKIDS ARE CHANTING. ARE WE THERE YET? PAUL? AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF BOSTON NO LONGER DREAM TO LIVE THERE ANYMORE AND I'M HAPPY TO BE IN JARRETTSVILLE. THE COUNTY COUNCIL HAS RUINED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE COUNTY BY CATERING TO YOUR DEVELOPER, FRIENDS. AND THEIR LAWYERS LIKE JOE SNEE. THE SAME JOKES KNEE WHO WAS THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR AARON PENMAN. TALK ABOUT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. OVER THE YEARS, THE HARFORD COUNTY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN GRANTS OR SHOULD I SAY BRIBES? FROM HIGHER MAGISTRATES ZONE PROPERTIES AROUND THE COUNTY FOR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND HOOD HOUSING. THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT SEEMS TO HAVE A POLICY TO ACCEPT ALL GRANTS, NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES. I'M SURE THE NEXT AREA FOR TEAM OVER DEVELOPMENT WELL, TARGET DISTRICT D. THERE WILL BE NOWHERE LEFT IN HARFORD COUNTY TO LIVE A ROYAL LIFE THE COUNTY HAS SEEN TO THAT. THE VOTERS OF HARFORD COUNTY NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE BUILDERS CONNECTIONS TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND VOTE THEM OUT. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT I WITNESSED WHAT I WITNESS THAT THE CHANNEL WERE CENTER A FEW FRIDAYS AGO IS THE GREAT AWAKENING OF HARFORD COUNTY. START RESPECTING THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTY MORE

WELL, ONE TIME IN ONE QUESTION, SO, UM THIS IS MY SORRY THIS IS MY FIRST MEETING EVER AT A CITY COUNCIL. SO UM, I MOVED HERE IN 2019. I RETIRED FROM THE MARINE CORPS IN NORTH CAROLINA. SCHOOLS WERE TERRIBLE. THEY WERE BACK IN THE TOP 10 OF THE US, SO I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I'VE GOT A YEAR WE'RE GOING TO FIND SOMEWHERE. I'VE GOT THREE KIDS RIGHT NOW. ONE IN 11TH GRADE. ONE'S IN THE NINTH GRADE. AND ONE INTENDS JARRETTSVILLE ELEMENTARY IN THE FOURTH GRADE. SO UM, I WAS LIKE, WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS ARE TERRIBLE. WE PICKED HARFORD COUNTY FOR THE SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY. UM MOVED HERE. COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. WHEN WE WALKED IN FALLSTON HIGH , I WAS LIKE OR PULSING OFF, JUNIOR. I WAS LIKE, THIS IS AMAZING. UM THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT COMMUNITY IS GREAT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW I WAS TOLD BY MY WIFE. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE THAT APPARENTLY ALL THIS SECTION EIGHT HOUSING IS GOING UP AND THEY'RE BUSSING PEOPLE OR THEY'RE MOVING PEOPLE HERE FROM THERE. SO I SEE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD. AND I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS IS THERE A MEETING? THAT GOES ON OR LIKE AN UPDATE WEBSITE THAT EVERY IT'S UPDATED, LIKE WEEKLY IS OKAY. THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT. THIS IS HOW WE GOT HERE. FOR EXAMPLE, UM IN IN FALLSTON HIGH SCHOOL. THEY'VE GOT IT MOUNTED. THERE'S A CODE ON THERE FOR HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE IN THAT ROOM.

FIRE CODE. RIGHT? SO IF YOU HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING IN EITHER THE ROOMS HAVE TO GET BIGGER OR SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN. SO LIKE WHEN I'VE DONE I'VE DONE BIG PROJECTS BEFORE YOU HAVE A HUGE MILESTONE TRACKER YOURSELF. OKAY TODAY WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL IS MET AND ALL THE APARTMENTS FOR SPACE FOR THE CODE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS MET, FOR EXAMPLE. IF WE HAVE A TON OF INFLUX FOR STUDENTS, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH STUFF TO YOU KNOW ALL THE EQUIPMENT TO COOK FOR THE MEALS? DO WE HAVE THE SECURITY THERE? DO WE HAVE THE, UM YOU KNOW THE BUSSES ALL THAT STUFF THE BANDWIDTH FOR ALL THAT STUFF. IS THERE A MEETING? EVERY WEEK OR TWO WEEKS OR AN UPDATE MEETING SO WE CAN GO AND SAY HEY, ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THIS? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS? AND SO? IF YOU GIVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION TO MS MS DIXON BEFORE YOU LEAVE TONIGHT, I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW. OK? GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

GOOD EVENING, SIR. SIR GOOD EVENING TO YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES. JOHN PEMA LHAMO 24 02 EAGLE VIEW DRIVE. THEY'RE A MARYLAND CHAPTER FOUR WHEN THE CODE CANNOT BE AVOIDED. DON'T ANSWER ON 19 MARCH 2018. I REQUESTED A FINAL DETERMINATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING ON WHETHER THE ACTIVITIES ARE USES AT THE HARFORD COUNTY AIRPORT, PERMITTED USE OR ILLEGAL NONCONFORMING NEWS ON 3. MAY 2018 MR KILLIAN, THEN DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING, RESPONDED THAT OPERATION OF THE HARPER COUNTY AIRPORT PROCEDURES. THE ADOPTION OF CODE AND AS SUCH, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS AN EXISTING LEGAL NONCONFORMING USE ON THE PROPERTY AND ACCORDINGLY, THE USE IS NOT SUBJECT TO HER REQUEST FOR WRITTEN DETERMINATION. THIS LETTER SHALL NOT ACT AS SUCH, AND IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL . I DID ATTEMPT TO APPEAL TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS. ANYWAY I FOLLOWED THE PROCESS PRESCRIBED FOLLOWING FILING AN APPEAL TO THE BOARD. THE COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT REJECTED MY APPLICATION, SO I ATTEMPTED TO FILE DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD. THE COUNCIL'S ATTORNEY SENT BACK A POLITE REPLY. I SPOKE WITH THE COUNTY LAW DEPARTMENT AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WILL NOT CHANGE THE POSITION THAT YOU CANNOT FILE A ZONING APPEAL CASE IN THIS MATTER ON 17. MAY 2018. I SENT AN EMAIL TO THEN SITTING COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND THE SITTING COUNCILMAN FOR DISTRICT E. MR VINCENT TO WITH MY CONCERNS REGARDING BOTH THE SITUATION AT THE AIRPORT, THE ACTIONS OF BOTH THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION AND THE COUNCIL ATTORNEY, I GOT NO RESPONSE. BUT THEN PETITIONED THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HARFORD COUNTY FOR REVIEW OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING ZONE DECISIONS, DECISIONS OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE , A RID OF MAN DAVIS, HARFORD COUNTY LAW DEPARTMENT AND THE AIRPORT OWNERS GROUP THROUGH COUNCIL MOTION FOR DISMISSAL AND SANCTIONS IN A JOINT FILING BY THE HARPER COUNTY LAW DEPARTMENT , THE AIRPORT OWNERS GROUP THROUGH COUNCIL ZONING STATUS WAS CLARIFIED. RESPONDENTS HAVE BEEN OPERATING PURSUANT TO THE SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS SINCE THAT STATUS WAS CONFERRED.

ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF APPEALS IN CASE 58 14 AND IN COURT, THE COUNCIL FOR THE AIRPORT OWNERS GROUP STATED THAT THE AIRPORT USED TO BE OPERATED NONCONFORMING NEWS AND IS NOW A

[00:55:04]

NEVERTHELESS THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND THE CASE MOVED. THE AIRPORT IS A CONFORMING USED BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION IT IS THERE UP , THEREFORE OPERATING AS A PERMITTED USE. GOOD NIGHT.

RIGHT? ERIN AND WE'RE SPEAKERS, MR PRESIDENT. ALRIGHT WITH NO MORE SPEAKERS WILL MOVE TO

[16. BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS ]

AND, UM, I HAVE ASKED THAT STEPS BE TAKEN TO REMOVE THE HALF CONSTRUCTED BUILDING AS IT'S BEEN UNTOUCHED FOR OVER A YEAR. AH I SHARE THE CONCERNS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS. IT'S NOT ONLY AN EYESORE, BUT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK A RESOLUTION AND KEEP YOUR PRIZED OF THE DEVELOPMENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR RILEY.

THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO THE ECONOMY LINGO, TRUCK, WEIGHT AND INSPECTION STATION IN DARLINGTON . IT'S NOW OPEN SO THAT OUR SAFETY ON OUR ROADS UP NORTH MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE, UH, PAID ATTENTION TO ALSO LAST NIGHT, ALONG WITH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT , WE WENT TO THE AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION. WE'RE TRYING TO ADVOCATE EDUCATION AND AGRICULTURE. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO THE IRONBIRDS GAME WITH SOME DELEGATES AND SENATORS FROM THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, TALKING ABOUT SOME HARFORD COUNTY INTEREST, AND THEN LASTLY , I WAS SELECTED BY THE CONTROLLER LETTERMAN TO REPRESENT HARFORD COUNTY AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE ADVISORY COUNCIL. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT . THANK YOU, MR RILEY. MR. JANITOR DANNY. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE MRS RUTH HAGI FOR BECOMING A NEW MEMBER OF THE CENTURY CLUB. MRS HAGI WILL BE TURNING 101 ON OCTOBER 24TH. SO CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT, I ATTENDED THE ARMY ALLIANCE DINNER AT THE MEETING. OUTGOING PRESIDENT TONY LUKE'S OUZOU. I GAVE AN IMPROMPTU, UM SLIDESHOW WHEN SHE WENT TO NEW YORK RIGHT AFTER 9 11. HIS GROUP WAS ONE OF ONE OF VERY FEW THAT WERE ABLE TO FLY AND THE REASON THEY WERE FLYING TO NEW YORK WAS THEY HAD SOME SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT THAT COULD GO AND DETECT. UM PEOPLE WITH. I GUESS, SELL SIGNALS AND EVERYTHING SO THEY WERE ABLE TO UNCOVER OVER 200 PEOPLE OUT OF THE RUBBLE DOWN THERE. ONE OF THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WAS THERE WAS A FIRE TRUCK THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE PICTURE OF THAT WAS BURIED IN 40 FT OF RUBBLE. THEY WERE ABLE TO CLEAR THAT OFF, AND THEY FOUND FIVE FIREFIGHTERS ALIVE IN THERE, SO IT'S VERY EMOTIONAL. UM I HAD SOME FAMILY TO PERISH DURING 9 11. SO YOU KNOW, I THINK NOBODY CAN FORGET. AND IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, YOU STILL NEED TO SAY SOMETHING AS THEY AS THEY SAY SO. UH TODAY ATTENDED THE VULCAN TOUR INHABIT, AGREES. AND THEN FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE FIRST EVER MARYLAND ITALIAN FESTIVAL BE HELD SEPTEMBER 29TH OCTOBER 1ST AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND SAY I WAS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS. SO IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN GET ONTO THUS I HAVE .ORG AND LOOK FOR THE VOLUNTEER. THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MR CHANDLER, DAN AND MR PITTMAN.

THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH. I KNOW. IN THE PAST, THE COUNTY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND SUPPORTED RECOVERY MONTH WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT FOR OUTREACH AND AWARENESS ON THAT NOTE. I KNOW THE HARVARD COUNTY WAS ALLOTTED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS FOR THE GOVERNMENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING MORE ABOUT HOW THAT MONEY IS BEING SPENT. JUST TO FOLLOW UP TO THE FOSTER AND DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL OF APARTMENTS. WORKGROUP THOUGHT WE HAD A PRODUCTIVE MEETING. IT'S UM, PUT A STATEMENT OUT ONLINE. UM BASED OFF THAT MEETING IN GOOD FAITH, THE DEVELOPER HAS POSTPONED HIS DECK HEARING FOR OCTOBER. 18TH. I BELIEVE SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FOLLOW UP MEETING ON THAT TO DISCOVER DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROJECT. I

[01:00:03]

THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAS COME BACK BEFORE THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO TERMINATE THAT CAPITAL PROJECT THAT WAS PASSED AND SUPPORTED INITIALLY BY A RESOLUTION. MY HOPE IS THAT EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL SEES THAT THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND VOTES. NO IF THAT REQUEST DOES RETURN TO THE COUNCIL THIS BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. I'M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT HOW YOU SPENT NOT. EXCUSE ME, NOT WHAT YOU SPEND. BUT HOW YOU SPEND RECENTLY, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED THE FUNDING FOR FOUR NEW SHERIFF'S OFFICE POSITIONS TO SUPPORT ABERDEEN SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, WHICH WILL ALLOW ABORIGINE OFFICERS TO RETURN TO PATROL ON THE SURFACE. I THINK THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE FOR SPORTING ABERDEEN PUBLIC SAFETY AND A TIME OF NEED WHEN THEY ARE STRUGGLING FOR WITH RECRUITMENT . HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS DONE. IN OTHER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AND MOU WAS COMPLETED. IN A SELF SUSTAINED, INDEPENDENT TAX BASED GOVERNMENT. WOULD REINVEST REIMBURSE THE SUPPORTING AGENCY OR GOVERNMENT. THEREFORE ABERDEEN SHOULD REIMBURSE HARFORD COUNTY FOR POLICE SERVICES. THE COST OF FOUR INITIAL DEPUTIES IS OVER $800,000. THESE ARE TAX DOLLARS THAT COULD BE RETURNED TO HARVARD COUNTY DISTRICTS INITIATIVES OR PAY THE RAISES FOR THE HARVARD COUNTY EMPLOYEES , WHICH WERE WAITING FOR THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF 1.5. THE NEXT QUESTION IS HIS HABIT OF GRACE AND BEL AIR GOING TO SEEK THE SAME SUPPORT, WHICH WOULD ADD TO THE ENORMOUS COST AT A TIME WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION HAD JUST CLEARED A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. THEY SEEM TO BE CONSISTENTLY OVERSPENDING ON BUILDING PROPERTIES AND SERVICES . THAT'S ALL HAD, MR PRESIDENT.

THANK YOU, MR PEMON, MR GUTHRIE. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. UH ONE OF THE REASONS WE JUMPED TO 17 AND THEN COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IS THAT WE HAVE CITIZENS SPEAK FIRST, AND THEN WE CAN PICK THINGS OUT OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT SAY WELL, AND WE SHOULD BE ANSWERING THEM. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. THAT'S WHY IT'S WHEN IN THAT, UH, IN THAT AREA, UM. A COUPLE OF HOURS TO TALK ABOUT THAT, UH AND, UH AH, WHEN TALKED ABOUT IMPACT FEES, IMPACT FEES PASSED IN 2004. I WAS ONLY COUNCIL THEN AND I'VE ALREADY AGAINST IT AND ONE OF THE REASONS I SAID LOOK, AND THEY SAID, WELL, THEY PUT A SUNSET CLAUSE ON AND I BELIEVE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S A SUNSET

[01:05:02]

THEY WILL SAY WELL, NOW IT'S SUNSET. SO WE'RE GOING TO DROP THE FEE AND HE SAID, OH, YOU'RE AGAINST SCHOOLS OR YOU'RE AGAINST WHATEVER THAT FEED PAYS FOR. SO THAT'S A PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE A WHEN YOU PUT A NEW FEE ON AND NOW THAT'S BEEN NOW THAT'S BEEN 19 YEARS HARD TO BELIEVE. BUT IT'S BEEN 19 YEARS AND THAT HE IS STILL THERE AND WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. UM ALSO, THIS BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SO STUFF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I AGREE WITH YOU, 100% I HAVE A BILL AND PUTTING TOGETHER AND I HOPE I HAVE THE COUNCIL SUPPORTS IT. AND THAT'S THE PUT THE 20 ACRE REQUIREMENT BACK INTO THE LAW THAT THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION IN 2017 TOOK OUT. THEY USED TO BE A 20 ACRE REQUIREMENT IN THE LAW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD A KIND OF A CONSTRUCTION SITE YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD, SAY ON 100 ACRES. YOU CAN ONLY BUILD 20 ACRES AT A TIME THAT THAT CUTS DOWN ON THE RENT RUNOFF AND CUTTING DOWN OF ALL THE TREES AND DESTROYING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. WELL THEY TOOK IT OUT IN 2017. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP ON THE BILL. DECEMBER OF 2017.

THAT WAS VERY QUIETLY ONE LINE ITEM TAKING OUT OF THE LAW. AND THIS IS PROBABLY GOTTA WATCH THESE BILLS AND YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH EVERY WORD. I'M I'M A LANGUAGE GUY, YOU KNOW, DEALT A LOT OF THAT. MY PAY US JOBS. DRAFTING COLLECTIVE BARGAINING REMAINS. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT LANGUAGE, AND YOU GOTTA BE VERY CAREFUL TO WATCH ALL THIS LANGUAGE AND THESE BILLS. I MEAN, EVERY WORD YOU CAN CHANGE SHOWER WILL YOU KNOW, JUST TO SHOWER WILL. AND THEN THERE'S BEEN COURT CASES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. ABOUT THOSE TWO WORDS, SO UM AH. MY BILL WILL RESTORE THE 20 ACRE REQUIREMENT AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE THIS. UH UM ABORTION GOING ON ON 1 52 RIGHT NOW AND ROOF 40 THERE THEY WHAT THEY DO SINCE THEY TOOK THAT 20TH, THEY COULD CLEARLY ENTIRE LAND. HOW MANY ACRES IT IS, BUT IT'S PROBABLY A COUPLE 100 ACRES, WHEREAS THEY COULD ONLY DO 20 ACRES AT THE TIME. THE RUNOFF FROM THERE HAS BEEN, UH, ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE EVERY TIME IT RAINS. I LIVED. I LIVED IN JOPPATOWNE. I LIVE ON THE WATER, AND EVERY TIME YOU GET A GOOD RAIN THAT ENTIRE BASIN IN THERE AND A TIRED UH, GUNPOWDER RIVER TURNS INTO A CUP OF COFFEE WITH A LOT OF CREAM. AND IT'S JUST IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. YOU CAN SEE SOME PHOTOS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE PRESENTED TO US WHERE YOU COULD SEE THIS BROWN LITERALLY COMING DOWN THE RIVER. YOU COULD TAKE ONE PHOTO. IT'S HERE. NEXT PHOTO. IT'S HERE. NEXT PHOTO.

IT'S COMPLETELY COVERED THE ENTIRE RUMSEY ISLAND JOPPATOWNE BASIN, AND THAT'S A LOT OF WATER TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE COLOR. YOU KNOW, WITH THIS WITH THIS MUD AND WHAT HAPPENS AT MUDD'S SETTLEMENTS AND LATER GUESS WHAT ? YOU GOT TO DREDGE IT. OKAY NOW THEY'VE BEEN FINED $60,000, AND THEY'RE ALL KIND OF THINGS GOING ON, AND THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN. I HOPE I HOPE THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE SHUTS THEM DOWN UNTIL THEY CAN APPLY CAN THEY CAN THEY CAN REAPPLY FOR ALL THE REQUIREMENTS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO UNDER THE LAW, THEY KEEP VIOLATING THE LAW OF SKIRTING THE LAW. EVERY SINGLE DATA THERE. UM SO WE WANT TO WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THIS 20 ACRE REQUIREMENT, SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ANYBODY AGAIN. I HOPE I HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE COUNTY COUNCILMAN. UM I ATTENDED THE SOUTHERN CAN EXECUTIVE HAD ITS SOUTHERN COUNTY TASK FORCE MEETING AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON SEPTEMBER 7TH AND HAD A VERY GOOD CROWD. UH, WAS. IT WAS AN OVERFLOW CROWD. THEIR COUNTY EXECUTIVE HAD ALL HIS HEAD'S INVOLVED DEPARTMENTS THERE, AND HE GAVE A VERY NICE SPEECH, AND HE HAD AN OVERHEAD THAT HE PUT ON FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AND AFTER AFTER HE WAS DONE TALKING , HE ALLOWED ALL THE PEOPLE THERE. WHOEVER WANTED TO COME UP, THEY HAD A MICROPHONE AND I'LL TELL YOU AT LEAST 30 OR 40. PEOPLE CAME UP AND SPOKE, AND THEY KEPT THEM TO THREE MEN'S LIKE HERE, BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE HEARING DON'T ALWAYS STATED THREE MINUTES, BUT I'M SURE THAT PEOPLE WERE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE ATTENTION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO

[01:10:03]

INTERESTED, UM UM SEE HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT. UH TOMORROW, GOING TO MEET WITH THE GOVERNOR OVER AT THE MARYLAND PUBLIC TELEVISION. THEY'RE DOING A AH, OPENING UP TO THE TO THE PUBLIC . WELL YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN INVITATION TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOLS AND ABOUT FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS, SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING AND PUBLIC TELEVISION WHERE MY SON WORKS, SO I GET TO SEE MY SON OVER THERE. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MR GUTHRIE. UM. FIRST OF ALL, MR DALLAS. P. ARE YOU STILL WITH US? YES SO THE FIRST THING I DID AFTER THE MEETING WAS OVER LAST WEEK AS I REACHED OUT TO TIM VANDEN AND HE AND I HAD A CONVERSATION. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KIND OF HAD A BACK AND FORTH. SO UM THE LAST THING I EVER WANT TO DO IS TO GET INTO POSITION TO WHERE WE MAY HAVE TO ASK SOMEBODY TO LEAVE. THIS IS YOUR CHAMBERS, BUT WHEN HE STOOD UP THERE AND HE SAID RUMORS AND INNUENDOS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. NO IDEA OF WHAT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE LAST 36 HOURS, 48 HOURS, SO HE AND I DISCUSSED THAT AND WE'RE FINE. HE'LL BE BACK WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM TRAVEL, SO I WANTED TO DISCUSS THAT. AND THEN THIS PAST FRIDAY , WE DID MEET WITH SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT, MR POYNTON. VICE PRESIDENT. JUST MISS HAN, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, MR BROWN, UM AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE MYSELF, SHAYNE GRAHAM FROM PLANNING AND ZONING, AND WE TALKED ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS . THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES NUMBERS, THE POSSIBLE LAND BANKING FOR FUTURE SCHOOLS, IMPACT FEES. WE TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ME WE HAVE OUR ATTIC PUT PUBLIC FACILITIES MEETINGS TWICE A YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE HARVARD KENNEDY ZONING CODE. DECEMBER IN JUNE, AND WE ADVERTISE FOR THOSE, UH FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS, AT LEAST AHEAD OF TIME. THE PUBLIC IS ALWAYS WELCOME. IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ONCE IN A WHILE, WE GET PARTICIPATION FROM THE PAPER, BUT VERY OFTEN VERY SELDOM. DO WE EVER HAVE ANY PUBLIC THERE? BUT IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UM, WE TALKED WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO THEIR COUNSEL ATTORNEY TODAY WE MAY EXTEND AND HAVE MORE MEETINGS COMING FORWARD. UH, BUT WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A SCHEDULE SO THAT WE CAN ADVERTISE THEM AND STILL CONTINUE WITH THE TWO THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITHIN THE CODE. UM AND THEN YESTERDAY I ATTENDED THE 9 11 MEMORIAL SERVICE AT THE U. C WITH COUNCILMAN GINGER DOWN INTO COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND MANY MANY OTHER FOLKS THERE AND, UM YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET. IT'S SOMETHING THAT ALL OF US REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO REMEMBER THOSE FOLKS AND THOSE TIMES. SO UM, ALSO WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE LAST MEETING. WE HAD SOME COMMENTS FROM A COUPLE OF CITIZENS, MR ASP AND MR CHANDLER. IN REFERENCE TO E. M S RESPONSE TIMES IMMEDIATELY. THE NEXT MORNING, WE STARTED DIGGING INTO THAT WE HAVE THE RECORDS, AND I THINK THAT MR RICHARDSON, IF YOU WANT TO GET MORE OF AN UPDATE WILL IS PREPARED TO PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TONIGHT. IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, AND I DO HAVE A COPY FOR MYSELF AS WELL. UM AND I THINK THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS EVERYTHING TONIGHT. UM, BUT AGAIN, I WANT TO STRESS THIS IS YOUR CHAMBER. WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU. THAT'S WHAT THIS CHAMBER IS FOR. AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY. UM AND I LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, SEEING YOU NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU.
