[a. Board of Health Update Fall 2024]
          [00:00:04]
          GOT FOUR, THREE. GOOD EVENING. CHAIR. CALLS TO ORDER. BOARD OF HEALTH UPDATE COUNCIL. THIS EVENING WE HAVE MISS AUSTIN, OUR HEALTH OFFICER, HERE THIS EVENING WITH MANY MEMBERS OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. MISS AUSTIN, WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. THANK YO. TRAVELING GROUPS. SO GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEN, COUNTY COUNCIL PRESIDENT VICENTE AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL ON THE AGENDA. TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SHARE OUR MISSION, VISION AND VALUE STATEMENT. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE 2024 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RECOVERY MONTH, INFANT SAFE SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME PROGRAM UPDATE. 
          FOR. SO THESE ARE HARFORD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S MISSION, VISION AND VALUE STATEMENTS. OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT, PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT OF HARFORD COUNTY RESIDENTS. OUR VISION IS TO MAKE HARFORD COUNTY THE HEALTHIEST COMMUNITY IN MARYLAND, AND OUR VALUES ARE TEAMWORK, LEADERSHIP, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY, COMMITMENT AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. I SHARE THESE FOR A REASON. HEALTH DEPARTMENT STAFF WORK TIRELESSLY TO UPHOLD THESE STANDARDS. IT MAY APPEAR SOMETIMES THAT WE MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT WITH ALL THE STATE RULES AND REGULATIONS, BUT IN THE SPIRIT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE DON'T MIND BEING CALLED RIGID AND UNBENDING. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE OVER TIME, WHEN QUESTIONED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMUNICATE OUR REASONING WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND PARTICULARLY MR. VINCENTE. AND THE COUNCIL IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HEAR US OUT AND MEET US AS NEEDED. SO I THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT. THE HARFORD COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROVIDES A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF HARFORD COUNTY. 
          THE REPORT INCLUDES BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA AND QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE FORMS. PRIMARY DATA IS COLLECTED THROUGH AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT IS DISTRIBUTED TO RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND ASK QUESTIONS REGARDING THEIR HEALTH STATUS, RISK FACTORS, AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. PRIMARY DATA IS ALSO COLLECTED THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS WITH KEY INFORMANTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS IN THE COUNTY. FOCUS GROUPS PROVIDE A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE ON THE HEALTH, ON THE HEALTH OF THE COUNTY, AND HELP DETERMINE HEALTH PRIORITIES. SECONDARY DATA IS COLLECTED THROUGH A COMPILATION OF DATA FROM SEVERAL SOURCES. THIS IMPORTANT DOCUMENT IS PRODUCED BY AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. OUR VERY OWN RANIA NASSAR, ZIL RAVEL AND ZACK MARCUS. THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, UPPER CHESAPEAKE, INCLUDING VICKY BARNES AND KIM TICE, AND HEALTHY HARFORD AND THE REPORT CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE. SEPTEMBER WAS RECOVERY MONTH. RECOVERY MONTH CELEBRATES THE GAINS MADE BY THOSE IN RECOVERY. JUST AS WE CELEBRATE IMPROVEMENTS MADE BY THOSE WHO ARE MANAGING OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS SUCH AS HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, ASTHMA AND HEART DISEASE. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE STAFF WHO HAVE MAINTAINED THEIR RECOVERY FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND THEY ARE ASSISTING OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO DO THE SAME. THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND PROCLAIMED OCTOBER 2024 AS INFANT SAFE SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH IN MARYLAND. AN AVERAGE OF 46 INFANTS DIED OF SLEEP RELATED DEATHS ANNUALLY BETWEEN 2018 AND 2022. 78 OF 78% OF INFANT SLEEP RELATED DEATHS FROM 2012 TO 2022, IN MARYLAND, WERE DEEMED PREVENTABLE. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S SAFE SLEEP PROGRAM PROVIDES EXTENSIVE EDUCATION AND PRESENTATIONS REGARDING SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES TO FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY AT PLACES SUCH AS MEGAN'S PLACE DUTY CENTERS, AND OTHER SITES UPON REQUEST. IN ADDITION, OUR PROGRAM PROVIDES SLEEP SACKS TO FAMILIES. SO WHAT DOES A SAFE, SAFE SLEEP ENVIRONMENT LOOK LIKE? BABIES SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN SLEEP SPACE IN YOUR ROOM, SEPARATE FROM YOUR BED. USE A FIRM FLAT AND LEVEL SLEEP SURFACE COVERED ONLY BY A FITTED SHEET. REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM BABY'S SLEEP AREA EXCEPT A FITTED SHEET TO COVER THE MATTRESS. NO OBJECTS, TOYS OR OTHER ITEMS. USE A WEARABLE BLANKET TO KEEP BABY WARM WITHOUT BLANKETS IN THE SLEEP AREA. MAKE SURE BABY'S HEAD AND FACE STAY UNCOVERED DURING SLEEP. PLACE BABIES ON THEIR BACKS TO SLEEP FOR NAPS AND AT NIGHT. COUCHES AND ARMCHAIRS ARE NOT SAFE FOR BABY TO SLEEP ON ALONE WITH PEOPLE OR WITH PETS, AND KEEP BABY'S SURROUNDINGS SMOKE FREE AND VAPE FREE. AND NOW I WANT TO GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF PROGRAM UPDATES. HERE'S A SNAPSHOT OF OUR 
          [00:05:09]
SERVICES OF NOTE ON THIS SLIDE, WHICH REFLECTS FY 24 SERVICES. IS THE HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS WE HAVE COMING THROUGH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND THIS ISN'T ALL OF OUR SERVICES, JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS, SOME THAT ARE WORTH MENTIONING. WE ISSUED 9880 BIRTH CERTIFICATES. WE HAD 30,073 MEDICAL ASSISTANT TRANSPORT RIDES TO MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH AND DENTAL APPOINTMENTS. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 15,734 CLIENTS SERVED IN OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BUREAU. OUR CARE COORDINATION TEAM NAVIGATED 685 CLIENTS THROUGH THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THERE WERE 2067 WOMEN'S WELLNESS VISITS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. THERE WERE 1147 FOOD INSPECTIONS, 800 ANIMAL BITE INVESTIGATIONS, AND 1403 BUILDING PERMIT REVIEWS, AND FOR FAMILY HEALTH. THERE WERE 6938 DENTAL VISITS AND 4166 CLIENTS SEEN. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO ON NOVEMBER 22ND, WE WILL BE HOLDING UP OUR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH. SORRY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HELD ITS SECOND ANNUAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH EVENT ON SEPTEMBER 28TH AT OUR WOODBRIDGE LOCATION IN EDGEWOOD. 
          THE EVENT OFFERED FREE LIVE MUSIC, KIDS ACTIVITIES, HEALTH RESOURCES, FLU SHOTS COURTESY OF UPPER CHESAPEAKE STI SCREENINGS, CLOTHING DONATIONS, GIVEAWAYS, ITALIAN ICE AND SNACKS. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE 12 COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND OUR OWN STAFF WHO PLANNED, ATTENDED AND PROVIDED INFORMATION TO OVER 50 ATTENDEES. ON ON NOVEMBER 22ND, WE WILL BE HOLDING OUR 2024 YOUTH SYMPOSIUM FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN HUGELY SUCCESSFUL. IT WILL BE HELD AGAIN AT THE WARD Y IN ABINGDON, ALL HARFORD COUNTY MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS ARE INVITED THERE WILL BE RESOURCES, GIVEAWAYS, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, MUSIC, FOOD, GAMES, AFFIRMATION BOARDS AND MORE. THIS IS PUT ON BY OUR AMAZING MINORITY HEALTH TEAM LED BY FELICIA HOPKINS. WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM COMING SOON CALLED CIVIL SURGEON APPLYING FOR A GREEN CARD OR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES REQUIRES UNDERGOING AN IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION. THE EXAMINATION MUST BE DONE BY A DOCTOR WHO IS DESIGNATED BY US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES. A PHYSICIAN MUST APPLY TO THE USCIS FOR APPROVAL TO BECOME A CIVIL SURGEON, AND ONCE APPROVED, THEY CAN PERFORM THE IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION REQUIRED FOR MOST GREEN CARD APPLICANTS. WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT A LOCAL PHYSICIAN WHO ATTENDS OUR CHRONIC DISEASE LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION GROUP, DOCTOR FRANK SPADARO, WILL BE LEADING THIS PROJECT AT OUR WOODBRIDGE SITE, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING AND PREPARATION STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS PURCHASED A COMMUNITY OUTREACH VAN TO INCREASE HEALTH ACCESSIBILITY IN OUR COMMUNITY. NURSES, HARM REDUCTION STAFF AND OTHERS WILL PROVIDE HEALTH SCREENINGS INCLUDING RAPID HIV, HEP C AND OTHER STI TESTING, IMMUNIZATIONS, NALOXONE, EDUCATION AND DISTRIBUTION, AND OTHER SERVICES OUT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TO HEALTH FAIR EVENTS. THE VAN IS EQUIPPED WITH A PRIVATE SPACE AND PATIENT CHAIR FOR BLOOD WORK, A SINK AND A CLINICAL WORKSTATION. WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HARFORD COUNTY GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE THIS VAN TO HELP MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF HARFORD COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS ESTABLISHED IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS ENTERING AND ENROLLED IN MARYLAND SCHOOLS. 
          OUR CLINICAL SERVICES TEAM, LED BY MELISSA NEARY, IS DEDICATED TO ENSURING STUDENTS RECEIVE THEIR VACCINES SO THEY ARE NOT EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOL. WE CONTINUE TO HOST OUR IMMUNIZATION CLINIC EVERY TUESDAY FROM 830 TO 330, AND THE FIRST AND THIRD WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH FROM 3 TO 6. LAST MONTH, ADDITIONAL CLINICS WERE ADDED ON SEPTEMBER 20TH AND 23RD TO HELP STUDENTS WHO STILL NEED THEIR REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, WE ARE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS OF HOLDING AN EVENING FLU CLINIC AND JUST YESTERDAY, MELISSA REPORTED THAT THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE HAD 245 STUDENTS EXCLUDED FOR NONCOMPLIANCE, AND THIS YEAR ON EXCLUSION DAY, WHICH IS 20 DAYS AFTER THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS, WE HAD 93. SO THIS IS A NICE DOWNWARD 
          [00:10:01]
TREND, AND WE SEEM TO BE REACHING MORE KIDS. SO WE WANT YOU TO STAY UP TO DATE WITH YOUR COVID VACCINE, YOUR COVID 19 VACCINE. EVERYONE AGES SIX MONTHS AND OLDER SHOULD GET A 20 2425 COVID 19 VACCINE. THE COVID VACCINE HELPS PROTECT YOU FROM SEVERE DISEASE, HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH. GETTING A COVID VACCINE IS A SAFER, MORE RELIABLE WAY TO BUILD PROTECTION THAN GETTING SICK WITH COVID. GETTING THE 20 2425 COVID VACCINE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PROTECTION FROM THE COVID VACCINE DECREASES WITH TIME, AND COVID VACCINES ARE UPDATED TO GIVE YOU THE BEST PROTECTION FROM THE CURRENTLY CIRCULATING STRAINS. GETTING THE 20 2425 COVID VACCINE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU NEVER RECEIVED A COVID VACCINE, OUR AGE IS 65 AND OLDER, ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE COVID, ARE LIVING IN A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY, ARE PREGNANT, BREASTFEEDING, TRYING TO GET PREGNANT, OR MIGHT BECOME PREGNANT IN THE FUTURE? WANT TO LOWER YOUR RISK OF GETTING LONG COVID? AND THIS IS A REMINDER THAT YOU CAN GET YOUR FLU VACCINE AND COVID 19 VACCINE AT THE SAME TIME. OUR CARE COORDINATION PLUS TEAM, LED BY KIM PROUT IS BACK OUT IN THE COMMUNITY THIS FLU SEASON TO HELP VACCINATE HOMEBOUND INDIVIDUALS. WE RECOMMEND A YEARLY FLU VACCINE AS THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT ACTION TO REDUCING YOUR RISK OF FLU, AND ITS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS OUTCOMES FOR 20 2425, ALL FLU VACCINES WILL BE DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST THREE INFLUENZA VIRUSES, A H1N1 VIRUS, A H3N2 VIRUS AND INFLUENZA B VICTORIA LINEAGE VIRUS. EVERYONE SIX MONTHS AND OLDER SHOULD GET AN ANNUAL FLU VACCINE, IDEALLY BY THE END OF OCTOBER, AND HOMEBOUND INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED A FLU VACCINE SHOULD CONTACT THE CC PLUS PROGRAM AT 443 2527438. WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ONE OF OUR CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONERS ON STAFF IS ALSO A BOARD APPROVED GENERAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER FOR THOSE CLIENTS ENROLLED IN OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, WE ARE ABLE TO COORDINATE PROVIDING PRIMARY CARE, MEDICAL SERVICES TO THEM AS WELL. AND GIVEN THE COMORBID NATURE OF MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE, AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS, THIS WAS A MUCH NEEDED SERVICE THAT WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER OUR CLIENTS. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE RECEIVED AT OUR FACILITY AND COVERED BY INSURANCE. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON SITE, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT LAB WORKUPS, ADDITIONAL MEDICAL SCREENINGS, AND MEDICAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES. MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SHOULD A CLIENT REQUIRE MORE INTENSIVE OR ADDITIONAL TREATMENT REFERRALS ARE MADE TO LOCAL PROVIDERS. 
          KUDOS TO ANDREA PAPPAS, DIRECTOR OF OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. KATIE HART, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND DOCTOR JULIE STANCLIFFE, OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND THEIR TEAM FOR THE MANY CREATIVE PROGRAMS THAT THEY THAT HAVE, THEY HAVE IN THEIR UNIT THAT CONTRIBUTE TO SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. OUR SCHOOL BASED HEALTH CENTERS PROGRAM IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HEALTH CARE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES TO STUDENTS WHO MAY LACK ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT FOUR TITLE ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE SWAN CREEK SCHOOL IN HARFORD COUNTY. THE SCHOOLS WE SERVE ARE EDGEWOOD ELEMENTARY HALLS, CROSSROADS ELEMENTARY, MAGNOLIA ELEMENTARY, OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY, AND SWAN CREEK. WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT IN SEPTEMBER, OUR SCHOOL BASED HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM EXPANDED AT SWAN CREEK TO INCLUDE SEEING ABERDEEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS A LONG TIME COMING. PER AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCE. IN APRIL 2024, THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ANNOUNCED ANNOUNCED, FINALIZED REGULATIONS FOR PFAS IN DRINKING WATER, PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS AFFECTED BY THESE REGULATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE IN FULL COMPLIANCE BY 2029. THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT INITIATED A PFAS MONITORING PROGRAM OF PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS IN 20TH SEPTEMBER 2020, THOUGH ADDITIONAL MONITORING NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT RESIDENTS ARE BEING EDUCATED ABOUT PFAS AND PFOA CHEMICALS. AUGUST FIFTH, 2024 FIVE HARFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS PROHIBITED STUDENTS FROM CONSUMING WATER TO DUE TO PFAS 
          [00:15:04]
CONTAMINATION. HARFORD COUNTY EXECUTIVE BOB CASSILLY ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ESTABLISHING THE DRINKING WATER PFAS TASK FORCE IN HARFORD COUNTY ON AUGUST 30TH, 2024. HEALTH DEPARTMENT STAFF, INCLUDING JOHN ROESLEIN AND RANIA NASSAR, ATTENDED THE FIRST MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2024. THE HARFORD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT LINKS THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT'S PFAS PAGES ON OUR WEBSITE AND PRIVATE WELLS ARE NOT REGULATED BY THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          WITH RESPECT TO PFAS MONITORING, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS TO TEST AND MAINTAIN THEIR WELL AND WATER SUPPLY. PIPING. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME, MARCY. AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND UPDATES, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN PERSONALLY FOR MY COLLEAGUES AND I FOR YOUR AVAILABILITY. YOU AND THE MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHEN WE HAVE ISSUES, AND WE DO HAVE A FEW. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. 
          WE DO GET QUITE A FEW CALLS, BUT YOU GUYS ARE THERE TO DIVE INTO IT AND SEE IF THERE'S AN ANSWER OR A REASON. AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. AS I LOOK THROUGH YOUR REPORT AND THE ONE SECTION ON PAGE FOUR, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TOUCHING ALMOST 100,000 CITIZENS. AND IT'S JUST THESE ARE AMAZING NUMBERS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE PREPARED TO ANSWER THAT. I SHOULD KNOW IT, BUT I DON'T. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL BUDGET? DOLLAR WISE? IT'S ABOUT 27 MILLION AT THIS POINT. AND HOW MUCH OF THAT IS STATE TO ABOUT CORE FUNDING? ABOUT 5 MILLION. YOU WANT COLLECTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. EVERYTHIN. YEAH, I KNOW THAT THE COUNTY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. SO COLLECTIONS, DO YOU HAVE THE FORM COLLECTIONS? LAST YEAR WAS 5 MILLION. COUNTY GAVE US 5 MILLION. AND THEN WE HAVE CATEGORICAL GRANTS FOR EACH PROGRAM THAT AND THEY CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM. SO WHATEVER THAT OTHER STUFF EQUALS ADD THAT UP. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT. SOME OF THAT IS COVID FUNDING. 
          THEY ACTUALLY LET US EXTEND IT OVER TO ANOTHER YEAR. SO THAT'S BEEN GENEROUS WITH THAT. NO I APPRECIATE THAT. I OFTEN GET ASKED WHAT IS THE COUNTY'S PORTION OF YOUR OVERALL BUDGET. 
          SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT QUESTION TO GET ON THE RECORD ANSWERED HERE ON THE RECORD. SO COUNCIL ANYONE MR. MARCY GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS COVID STUFF. WHERE DID YOU WHERE DOES ALL THIS INFORMATION COME FROM. OH GOODNESS. DO YOU WANT DOCTOR SEIDEL TO COME UP? WELL, I THINK I'M I'M MORE CONCERNED WITH WHERE THE DIRECTIVE IS COMING FROM TO GET YOUR COVID VACCINE SHOT. EVERYBODY. SIX MONTHS OF OLDER AND ALL THAT INFORMATION IS THAT COMING FROM WE GET OUR GUIDANCE FROM MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. 
          SO THEY TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD SAY. AND YOU GUYS HAVE TO REGURGITATE IT AND SAY IT BACK TO THE PUBLIC. PRETTY MUCH YES. THOSE ARE THE GUIDELINES. WHAT IF WHAT IF THE PUBLIC DOESN'T AGREE WITH THAT? WELL, THEY DON'T ALWAYS KNOW. THEY DON'T. THE DOCTORS I TALKED TO CERTAINLY ARE NOT AGREEING WITH IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR DIFFERENT OPINIONS. BUT I WAS KIND OF A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED, I GUESS, IN MAYBE SEEING THIS, BU, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DID GET THE COVID COVID SHOT TWO THREE AND THEY STILL GOT COVID. BUT YET HERE THEY'RE SAYING, GET THE COVID SHOT. IT'S GOING TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING COVID. AND THAT CERTAINLY HASN'T BEEN PROVEN, HAS IT? NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE YOU'RE CORRECT. PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT. PEOPLE STILL GET IT. NOT AS SEVERE RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS LONG COVID. OH THAT'S OH GOSH I DON'T KNOW THE TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR IT BUT IT HAS ALL THESE SIDE EFFECTS THAT LAST FOR ALL THESE SIDE EFFECTS THAT LAST FOR A PRETTY LONG TIME. OKAY. SO GET YOUR FLU SHOT TOGETHER WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING. SO HAVE THEY SAID THAT THE STRAINS ARE GETTING LESS RESILIENT BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE MORE THAN I WOULD THINK. IT'S BECOMING A LITTLE BIT MORE MAINSTREAM, LIKE THE FLU. YOU KNOW, YOU YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO PREPARE YOURSELF WITH A FLU SHOT EVERY YEAR. SAME WITH COVID. IT'S JUST PREPARATION. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS IN THE PANDEMIC, BUT YOU JUST IT'S KIND OF MORE MAINSTREAM NOW. I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE GETTING COVID NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GETTING TESTED BY THEMSELVES AND THEY'RE SAYING THEY HAVE COVID OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR'S TESTING THEM. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE INSTANT TEST OR IS THERE IS THERE A DIFFERENT TEST OUT THERE NOW OTHER THAN THE DIFFERENT TEST? AND IF YOU DON'T USE THAT KIT WITHIN, WHAT WAS IT LIKE SIX WEEKS? THERE ISN'T AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THOSE KITS. SO IS THERE A DIFFERENT TEST NOW FOR COVID? WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE OTHER. THERE'S THE INSTANT ONE, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE 
          [00:20:04]
OTHER ONE. AND WHAT IS THAT CALLED? THE OTHER TEST THE PCR ONE. YEAH. MISS SEIBEL CAN YOU COME FORWARD PLEASE AND SIT AND TAKE A MIC. YOU CAN TAKE THESE TECHNICAL. I SHOULD SAY DOCTOR. 
          OKAY. SO IN ADDITION TO MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS, WE BASE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS OFF OF THE CDC. WHO DOES RECOMMEND THAT THOSE SIX MONTHS AND OLDER GET THE VACCINE. THEY'RE NOT REQUIRING IT BY ANY MEANS. IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION. GOTCHA. AND THEN IN TERMS OF IT PREVENTING COVID AT THIS POINT, THE MAIN ARGUMENT IS THAT IT PREVENTS SEVERE DISEASE, HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH. THE CONCERN THOSE ARE MUCH BIGGER CONCERNS. WHETHER OR NOT ONE GETS COVID, IT'S THOUGHT TO BE MORE MILD. IF THEY HAD THE VACCINE. OKAY, DOC. SO THE $1 MILLION QUESTION DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR COVID SHOTS? I, I AM SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK OKAY. DO YOU DO YOU RECOMMEND EVERYBODY GET THEIR COVID SHOTS? I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE MAKES THE BEST DECISION FOR THEMSELVES. OKAY. THAT'S FAIR. WELL I SAW THIS. THIS WAS A CONCERN. I WANTED TO ADDRESS IT. I DIDN'T WANT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING JUST TO BLINDLY TAKE WHAT WAS SAID AND RUN WITH IT WITHOUT QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I CERTAINLY HAVE QUESTIONS AND DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT OPINION. BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWERING THAT AND YOUR OPINION ON THIS. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. OH YEAH. YOU NEED JOHN. WELL I DON'T KNOW IF WE I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED JOHN. BUT BUT WE STILL GET A DISCONNECT. GUYS DO A GREAT JOB. I KNOW DISAGREEMENTS HERE AND THERE AND STUFF. BUT WE DO HAVE A DISCONNECT. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BETWEEN BALTIMORE COUNTY AND HARFORD COUNTY WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD SERVICE TRUCKS, FOOD SERVICE, RESTAURANTS. AND I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHERE IT'S THEY HAVE BALTIMORE COUNTY HAS THEIR OWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND WE FOLLOW MORE THE STATE RULES. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF RESTAURATEURS THAT ARE COMING FROM BALTIMORE COUNTY UP HERE, THERE, THERE IS CERTAINLY A BIG A BIG DIFFERENCE. AND ONE OF THE SIMPLEST THINGS I COULD SAY IS WHEN JIMMY JOHNS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE AND THE OTHER PLACE WENT IN THERE, THAT WAS DOING THE, THE YOGURT AND EVERYTHING, THE BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THE LIGHT IN THE BATHROOM WASN'T BRIGHT ENOUGH. IT WAS BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR JIMMY JOHN'S, BUT IT WASN'T BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR THEM. AND I THOUGHT, BOY, THAT'S REALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. 
          HOW? I MEAN, THE LIGHT STANDARD CHANGED, BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT. IT'S JUST WE'RE HEARING THAT. AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH A PASTA MACHINE THAT WAS CERTAINLY APPROVED DOWN IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE CERTAIN LABELS. AND STANDARDS, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE LARGEST PASTA MACHINE MAKER IN THE WORLD THAT WE HAD TO HAVE A WE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT APPROVED. FINALLY, WE GOT ALL THE SPECS AND EVERYTHING. GOT IT APPROVED, AND HOPEFULLY WE DON'T RUN INTO THAT ISSUE AGAIN. BUT JUST AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO I, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER AND WORK THROUGH WITH PEOPLE, BUT I'M GETTING PEOPLE THAT I DEAL WITH AND THE OTHER SIDE OF MY BUSINESS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT I DO. COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. SO MY COMPLAINTS THEN ARE SO BALTIMORE COUNTY IS A HOME RULE. HOME RULE COUNTY, SO THEY FOLLOW DIFFERENT. WE FOLLOW THE STATE GUIDELINES AND WE WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO THEM, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE HOW DOES BALTIMORE COUNTY THEN WHO DO THEY ANSWER TO THAT THEY DON'T KNOW? MAYBE JOHN KNOWS. I DON'T KNOW. BUT I KNOW THAT WE CAN PUT JOHN ON THE HOT SEAT. YEAH. IF YOU WANT TO. MAYBE HE CAN TRY TO PRONOUNCE POLLY. WHATEVER. CITY. NOW, YOU DO WANT TO BE DONE BY 730, CORRECT? NO. OH, WE WANT YOU TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION. OKAY. SO BALTIMORE COUNTY DOES ANSWER TO MDH. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THE STATE SETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS IN COMBER. AND THEN BALTIMORE COUNTY HAS ITS OWN SET OF REGULATIONS. NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL SAY IS THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHERE BALTIMORE COUNTY HAS BEEN APPROVING THINGS THAT THE STATE DOES NOT APPROVE. AND WHEN WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE STATE'S ATTENTION, THEY'VE ADDRESSED IT WITH BALTIMORE COUNTY. SO, LIKE I CAN THINK OF THAT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, ON A NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS WHERE BALTIMORE COUNTY WAS TOLD BY MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE APPROVING THIS AND HARFORD COUNTY WAS CORRECT. THE ONLY OTHER THING, I GUESS I WANT TO MENTION IS WHEN YOU DO A PRE-OPENING INSPECTION, LIKE IN THIS PLACE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD CHECK THE LIGHTING WHEN THE FIXTURES ARE NEW AND THE BULBS ARE NEW AND THEY COULD BE OKAY. 
          AND THEN, AS YOU KNOW, TIME GOES BY, MONTHS GO BY, ETC. THE FIXTURE MAY LOSE ITS EFFICIENCY OR ITS BRIGHTNESS OR WHATEVER. YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GO TO A RESTAURANT THAT'S BEEN OPEN FOR 15 OR 20 YEARS AND MAKE THEM CHANGE THE BULBS. WELL, THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS 
          [00:25:04]
SOMETIMES IS FACILITIES MAKE CHANGES AFTER THE APPROVAL HAS BEEN MADE. SO IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DID PLAN REVIEW FOR TEN YEARS, I KNOW I'VE WENT INTO MANY PLACES WHERE THINGS WERE OKAY AT THE TIME OF PRE-OPENING, I WOULD SAY. AND THEN WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DO A ROUTINE INSPECTION, THINGS HAVE BEEN ALTERED OR CHANGED OR, YOU KNOW, REMOVED, ETC. I MEAN, I'VE SEEN LIKE WHOLE AREAS OF KITCHEN MODIFIED WITHOUT APPROVAL. THE ISSUE WITH THE PASTA MAKER THAT YOU MENTIONED WAS WE HAVE A WHOLE PLANT, WE HAVE A WHOLE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS THAT HAPPENS DURING PRE-OPENING. YOU KNOW, GIVE US YOUR PLANS, TELL US WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING. GIVE US THE EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS, AND WE'LL VET THAT AT THE TIME WE ISSUE THE BUILDING PERMIT. NOW WITH THE PASTA MACHINE. THAT WAS SOMETHING THEY DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO DO AFTER THEY OPENED. 
          YEAH. CORRECT. BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS WERE DOING IT SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THE IN THE ORIGINAL PLANS, BUT THEY SAID, HEY, LET'S, LET'S USE, LET'S USE FRESH PASTA AND DO FRESH PASTA. LET'S USE THE SAME MACHINE THAT WE GOT BALTIMORE COUNTY AND HOWARD COUNTY. LO AND BEHOLD, HARFORD COUNTY SAYS, SORRY, YOU CAN'T USE THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT APPROVED. WELL, SO INITIALLY THAT WAS THE RESPONSE BECAUSE WE HADN'T SEEN IT. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SPECIFICATIONS. WE DIDN'T DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. IT JUST SORT OF WAS THERE, YOU KNOW, SO YOU GO OUT TO DO A PRE-OPENING INSPECTION AND HERE IT IS. AND THEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, THE BASIC CERTIFICATIONS THAT ARE PRESENT IN THE REGULATION. YOU KNOW, NSF, ETL, BISQUE, YOU KNOW, CRM, CRM, WHATEVER. AND THAT PASTA UNIT DIDN'T HAVE IT. SO THEN, YOU KNOW, WE GATHERED OUR INFORMATION AND CONSULTED WITH THE STATE AND THEY BASICALLY SAID, YEAH, THIS HAS ALL THE CRITERIA THAT, YOU KNOW, CAN BE ACCEPTABLE. IT'S NONTOXIC MATERIAL. IT'S NONTOXIC, YOU KNOW, NONTOXIC FOOD CONTACT SURFACES. IT'S CLEANABLE, ETC. YOU GUYS CAN APPROVE IT. SO THEN WE DID. HAD THEY SORT OF BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH, HEY, WE'RE THINKING OF ADDING THIS BEFORE WE OPEN. WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT ON THE FRONT END INSTEAD OF RETROACTIVELY. YEAH, I DON'T THINK THEY WERE PLANNING ON DOING THAT. BUT LAST QUESTION. FOOD TRUCKS. WE'RE HEARING SOME DIFFERENCES ON FOOD TRUCKS WITH ONE DAY PERMITS AND ONE YEAR WHERE THEY GET A11 DAY PERMIT. THERE'S NO BIG ISSUE. BUT THEN WHEN THEY GO TO DO A WHOLE YEAR, THEY HAVE TO GET THIS WHOLE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING. WHY SUCH A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ONE DAY AND A YEAR? SO THE I GUESS, THE, THE SECTION OF THE REGULATION THAT HAS TO DO WITH A SPECIAL TEMPORARY EVENT HAS CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH WHEN YOU GET AN ANNUAL LICENSE. THEN THERE'S A, I GUESS THE INTENT IS THAT YOU COMPLY WITH THE YOU KNOW, WHOLE REGULATION AS, AS WRITTEN FOR THAT TYPE OF ANNUAL, YOU KNOW, ANNUALLY PERMITTED OPERATING FACILITY, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE WHEREVER, WHENEVER, DURING THE COURSE OF THE YEAR IN HARFORD COUNTY. SO WITH THAT CASE, WHEN WE ASK THE FIRE MARSHAL ABOUT FOOD TRUCKS, THEY WERE LIKE, IF IT HAS A, YOU KNOW, A HOOD SYSTEM OVER GREASE PRODUCING EQUIPMENT, IT SHOULD HAVE FIRE SUPPRESSION. SO THAT'S WHEN THAT REQUIREMENT CAME TO BE ENFORCED. WHEN YOU'RE YOU KNOW, GETTING AN ANNUAL LICENSE FOR A FOOD TRUCK THAT HAS YOU KNOW, FRYERS OR GRILLS OR WHATEVER, BEING EXHAUSTED BY, YOU KNOW, GREASE EXTRACTION HOOD. AND IS THAT WHAT BALTIMORE COUNTY IS ALSO REQUIRING? AND THE OTHER COUNTIES, OR SHOULD THEY BE REQUIRING THEM? MAYBE THEY'RE NOT. I WOULD, YOU KNOW, SO I WOULD SAY I WOULD THINK THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRING IT BECAUSE IT WAS COMING TO US FROM THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL. YOU KNOW, THE FIRE MARSHAL WAS SAYING THESE TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, USES WITH THIS TYPE OF VENTILATION SHOULD HAVE FIRE SUPPRESSION. SO I WOULD THINK THE FIRE MARSHAL AND HARFORD COUNTY WOULD BE PROVIDING THE SAME INFORMATION TO BALTIMORE COUNTY. I WOULD HOPE THAT ALL, ALL FOOD TRUCKS AS THEY OPERATE, WHETHER THEY'RE OPERATING ONE DAY OR ANNUALLY, ARE ALL TREATED THE SAME WAY, AND THEY'RE ALL DONE THAT WAY. BUT BUT APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE PROCESS. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE DOING THESE FOOD TRUCKS AND, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND THEN THEY ASKED FOR ONE DAY AND THEN THEY ASKED FOR ANNUALS. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHERE THEY'RE AT. WHETHER IT'S BALTIMORE COUNTY, BALTIMORE CITY, HOWARD COUNTY, THEY'RE NOT APPROVING THEM TO BEGIN WITH. IF THEY'RE GOING TO OPERATE, THEY'VE THEY'VE GOT TO OPERATE WITH FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS. AND WE WOULDN'T RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM, BUT WE ARE RUNNING INTO THIS PROBLEM SO THAT WAS MY OTHER OTHER QUESTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          [00:30:04]

SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON ON OUR PERSONAL DISTRICT. SO EACH PROGRAM REPORTS TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTY STATS. SO THEY EACH PROVIDE THEIR NUMBERS EITHER MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY TO US TO RANIA, EXCUSE ME. AND SHE PUTS THEM IN A SPREADSHEET. SO WE HAVE THEM WE CAN GET SO I CAN GET A PIE, A PIE CHART OR SOMETHING OF THESE.

AND I'VE HAD ALL THREE OF MY SHOTS. 
          MY WIFE HAS ALL THREE OF THEM. AND MY 98 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LAW HAS ALL THREE OF OUR SHOTS. AND NONE OF US CAUGHT THE COVID. SO IT'S IF IT AIN'T WORKING, IT'S WORKING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR. GUTHRIE. MR. BENNETT, HELLO. GOOD EVENING. IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. FIRST. 
          THANK YOU. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY COMMUNITY EVENT I'M AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S AT. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING WHERE PEOPLE ARE. AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE GET SERVICES. A COUPLE QUICK THOUGHTS. FIRST, JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WHO'S WATCHING UNDERSTANDS. TITLE ONE DESIGNATION IS A FEDERAL DESIGNATION. IT'S BASED ON THE FEDERAL TITLE ONE FUNDING. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY LOCAL DISCRETION ON WHERE YOUR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS. IT'S JUST THE POPULATION OF YOUR COMMUNITY THAT DETERMINES THAT. SO IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE FREE AND REDUCED MEALS DUE TO ECONOMIC STANDING OF THEIR FAMILY, YOUR TITLE ONE SCHOOL. 
          OKAY, BUT I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE FOR A FUTURE PRESENTATION, IT'D BE REALLY NICE TO SEE THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S SNAPSHOT NEXT TO THIS YEAR SO WE CAN SEE THOSE CHANGES AT A GLANCE OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE HAVING MORE OF LESS OF? SO IT KIND OF GIVES I THINK PEOPLE WATCHING THE SENSE OF A TREND IN THE COMMUNITY. OKAY. YEAH. SO THAT WAS JUST ONE THOUGHT. I WAS CURIOUS IF THERE'S ANY UPDATES ON MINORITY HEALTH SPECIFICALLY. IT SEEMED LIKE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SHARED COULD FIT UNDER THAT UMBRELLA. BUT ARE THERE ANY ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU SHARED FOR UPDATES ON MINORITY HEALTH PROGRAMS? I ACTUALLY THINK FELICIA DID DID SOMETHING TODAY, DIDN'T YOU? FELICIA? WHERE IS SHE? YOU DID YOU HAD A GROUP TODAY OR WAS IT A CAN YOU TELL ME, MARK, DO YOU WANT TO COME TELL US? I LIKE BRINGING PEOPLE UP. YOU HAVE TO TALK ANYWAY. OKAY. HELLO, COUNCILMAN JACOB, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. WE DID JUST HAVE AN EVENT TODAY. WE HAVE MONTHLY EVENTS. WE HAVE MONTHLY EVENTS IN WINDSOR VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER VILLAGE AT LAKE VIEW, HABIT OF GRACE, THE SOMERSET LOCATION. AND WE HAVE THEMES 
          [00:35:03]
THAT DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH OF COURSE, WE ARE PILOTING OUR NEW PROGRAM CALLED PARENT TALKS, AND THAT WAS BIRTHED OUT OF THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE AND OTHERS THAT MIGHT BE IN THE ROOM ATTENDED. WE GOT TOGETHER WITH SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS, WITH SOME MEMBERS OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND LAY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONCERNS THEY HAD AND BIRTHED OUT OF THAT. WE RESIDENTS WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH, THINGS GOING ON IN THEIR HOME. AND TO OUR CREDIT, HARFORD COUNTY IS RESOURCE RICH. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE RESOURCES. SO PARENT TALKS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEVELOP WITH SOME LOCAL THERAPISTS AND DOCTORS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS THAT LIVE RIGHT HERE IN HARFORD COUNTY THAT ARE GOING TO GO AROUND THE COMMUNITY, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER MEMBERS THAT LIVE ALONG THE ROUTE 40 CORRIDOR AND HAVE OPEN ENDED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, MULTIGENERATIONAL CONVERSATIONS AND RESOURCES FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND UPPER CHESAPEAKE HEALTH. WE JUST TALKED TO VICKY BARNES TODAY AND SEE WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY CAN MAKE TO THOSE TALKS. SO WE'LL HAVE TEAM LEADS AROUND THE COMMUNITY. SO YES, THE MINORITY HEALTH PROGRAM IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE. ANY COUNCIL MEMBER IS WELCOME TO COME OR WELCOME TO VIEW WHAT WE DO. OF COURSE, THE YOUTH SYMPOSIUM COMING UP, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU ALL COME TO THE YMCA IN ABINGTON BECAUSE IT'S OPEN TO EVERY MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL YOUNG LADY IN THE COUNTY. WE DO DO THE YOUNG MEN IN MAY. WE HAVE A GREAT TIME AND THIS IS OUR OUTREACH. SO YES. DOES THAT ANSWER WHEN YOU GET THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE YOUTH SYMPOSIUM COMING UP, CAN YOU EMAIL IT TO US TO SHARE? OH, WE HAVE A DIGITAL FLIER. WE HAVE, YEAH, WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL FLIER THAT IS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE. YES. THERE YOU GO. IT'S IN THERE AND YOU CAN REGISTER. YOU CAN COME, YOU CAN EVEN HAVE WHILE I HAVE A MOMENT TO GIVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE COUNCIL, WE HAVE A WELCOME GROUP THAT WE PLAY, AND WE'VE HAD RANIYA ON THERE. WE'VE HAD OTHERS, WE'VE WE'VE HAD JUDGE EAVES, WE'VE HAD. YEAH, WE HAD HCC PRESIDENT DOCTOR THERESA FELDER COME OUT AND GIVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. 
          SO IF YOU WANT TO GIVE A 32ND VIDEO PRESENTATION, JUST MY NAME IS COUNCIL PRESIDENT PATRICK VICENTE. I'M SO GLAD TO THAT YOU ALL ARE TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL BE ENCOURAGED. YOU'RE IN GREAT HANDS. JUST SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE THAT. I CAN SEND YOU A LITTLE EXAMPLE OF HOW THAT WORKS. THE YOUNG PEOPLE LOVE IT AND WE LOVE ON THEM, AND WE BRING A LOT OF RESOURCES FROM AROUND THE COUNTY, LIKE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, THE PROVING GROUND CREDIT UNION AND OTHERS. THEY THEY ALL COME WITH INFORMATION FOR OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE WORK OF MINORITY HEALTH WAS AMPLIFIED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT, THE MORE IT CAN BE CELEBRATED. IT'S A REALLY SPECIAL THING IN HARFORD COUNTY. YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP, COUNCILMAN JENKINS, TAKE THE MAN OUT TO. THAT'LL HELP WITH SOME PEOPLE, OF COURSE, BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE SHOTS. ONE LAST QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PFAS. I KNOW BY REGULATION, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HANDLE PRIVATE WELL INSPECTION. AND I KNOW IN YOUR PRESENTATION IT TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOMEOWNER TAKING CARE OF THAT. BUT I JUST THINK IT'S I MEAN, IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHAT'S IN YOUR WELL, WATER ISN'T NECESSARILY DUE TO THE ACTIONS DONE ON YOUR PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, IF YOU LIVE NEAR THE PROVING GROUND, IF YOU LIVE NEAR WHERE HEAVY AGRICULTURAL USE IS HAPPENING, IF YOU LIVE NEAR WHERE FIRE DEPARTMENT MATERIALS HAVE BEEN USED RECENTLY, YOU RUN THE RISK OF PFAS CHEMICALS BEING IN YOUR GROUNDWATER, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OR NOT. IF YOU'RE AT AN INCREASED RISK DUE TO THOSE RISK FACTORS THAT WE KNOW FOR PFAS. AND SO I, YOU KNOW, I WOULD HOPE THAT THE FEDERAL STATE GOVERNMENT GET BEHIND THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR PEOPLE FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT COME FROM PFAS, WHETHER THEY DRINK, WELL, WATER OR OUR COUNTY WATER, BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S A REAL RISK. AND WE KNOW LIVING NEAR BODIES OF WATER INCREASES YOUR RISK. LIVING GOVERNMENT, MILITARY FACILITIES INCREASE YOUR RISK AND LIVING NEAR FARMLAND INCREASE YOUR RISK, WHICH JUST MEANS WELCOME TO HARFORD COUNTY. BUT SO I JUST THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WE 
          [00:40:06]
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. I DON'T THINK IT'S AS SIMPLE AS SAYING, YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF YOUR WELL WATER IF YOU'RE ON PRIVATE. WELL, THERE IS THE TASK FORCE. YES. AND I'VE ACTUALLY ENCOURAGED THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO ADD SOMEONE WHO HAS PRIVATE WELL WATER TO THE TASK FORCE TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITY VOICE IS HEARD. THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT. FELICIA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AS WELL. MARCY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, AND WE'RE GOING TO

          [14. NEW BUSINESS]
I'VE BEEN PATIENT. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR AUDIT EXTENSION AND EXEMPTION. YEAH. 
          SO I'M HERE TO REQUEST AN EXTENSION ON THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE COUNTY'S AUDITS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND, I COME BEFORE YOU ALL EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THE COUNTY CHARTER REQUIRES THAT AUDITS OF THE COUNTY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE COMPLETED FOR ALL THE AGENCIES THAT RECEIVE AND DISBURSE COUNTY FUNDS BY OCTOBER 31ST. THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF AGENCIES THAT RECEIVE COUNTY FUNDS THAT CAN'T COMPLETE THEIR AUDITS IN THAT TIME FRAME, GENERALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE SMALLER AGENCIES, THEY'RE WAITING ON THEIR AUDITORS TO FINISH THEIR AUDITS. IN PARTICULAR, THEY ARE THE HUMANE SOCIETY ARC, THE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANIES, AND THE VOLUNTEER FIRE AND EMS ASSOCIATION. THOSE TOGETHER GET ABOUT $11 MILLION IN COUNTY APPROPRIATIONS. SO IT'S ABOUT 1.1% OF THE COUNTY'S BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020. FOR TO CLARIFY THE COUNTY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES ITS COMPONENT UNITS, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, THE HARFORD CENTER, THE LIBRARIES AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE THAT WILL BE COMPLETE BY OCTOBER 31ST. BUT THIS REQUEST IS FOR THOSE OTHER AGENCIES TO HAVE THEIR AUDITS DONE BY DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR. MY REQUEST ALSO INCLUDES A REQUEST THAT YOU ALL EXEMPT FROM AUDIT EXTENSION SERVICES, WHICH IS PART OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SYSTEM AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU ALL APPROVING THIS REQUEST, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL, ANYONE WITH ANY QUESTIONS, MR. RILEY? YEAH. CRYSTAL. AGAIN, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR I'VE BEEN HERE AND WE DO THIS, ISN'T IT? WHY DON'T WE JUST CHANGE THE CHARTERS FOR THESE FEW FOLKS, OR PUT SOMETHING IN TO CHANGE THE CHARTER? ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THAT? SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME EVERY YEAR? I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. YEAH, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. THERE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN, LIKE THE COUNTY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GETTING DONE, BECAUSE OCTOBER IS A GOOD TIME FRAME TO GET THAT DONE, AND HAVING A SEPARATE REQUIREMENT FOR THOSE SMALLER AGENCIES. IF IT GETS MESSY, I DON'T WANT TO DO IT, BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU SIT HERE ONCE A YEAR TO PLAY THIS GAME AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S NECESSARY. BUT YEAH, MAYBE WE'LL TALK OFF OFF DAYS HERE, MR. LEDGER, YOU'LL LOOK INTO THAT TOO. SURE, YOU CAN DO A CHARTER AMENDMENT TO A BILL TO DO A CHARTER AMENDMENT TO CHANGE ANYTHING, BUT IT'S A PROCESS. AND IT WOULDN'T GET ON THE BALLOT UNTIL 2026. I UNDERSTAND, SO THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD. MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE EXTENSION? COUNCIL PRESIDENT I MOVE TO APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2020. FISCAL YEAR 24. AUDIT, EXTENSION AND EXEMPTION. THANK YOU. MAY I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? THANK YOU, MR. PENMAN. IT'S MOVED A SECOND TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY MISS BROOKS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION AGAIN? MISS DIXON, MR. PRESIDENT. HI, MR. GUTHRIE. HI, MR. PENMAN. HI, MR. GIORDANO. 
          HI, MR. RILEY. HI, MRS. BORSATO. HI, MR. BENNETT. HI THERE. BEING SEVEN VOTES IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, ZERO IN A NEGATIVE. THE FISCAL YEAR 24 AUDIT EXTENSION EXEMPTION IS HEREBY APPROVED.

          [01:30:02]
THANK YOU, MR. BROOKS. 17 COMMENTS AND INPUT FROM ATTENDING CITIZENS. DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP, MISS DIXON? WE DO, MR. PRESIDENT. WE HAVE TWO THIS EVENING. CALL YOUR FIRST SPEAKER, BILL WHALEN, FOLLOWED BY CASSANDRA BEVERLY. GOOD EVENING, SIR. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. YOU LOOK AWFUL SHARP THIS EVENING. PODIUM POSSIBLE? NO. BILL WHALEN, 415 CEDAR SPRINGS ROAD, BEL AIR, MARYLAND, 21015. LAST WEEK I MENTIONED THE PROPOSED COSTCO AT PLUM TREE AND 924 AND IT'S A GOOD STORE, GOOD REPUTATION. IT'S DESIRED BY MANY. BUT AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, IT WILL BE A DISASTER. SAFETY AND TRAFFIC I MENTIONED TWO QUESTIONS. CITIZENS KEEP ASKING ME. IF NOT AT THIS SITE, WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT BE LOCATED? AND IF IT'S NOT A MIXED USE CENTER OR COSTCO, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THERE? I'M GOING TO ANSWER THOSE TONIGHT. 
          QUESTION ONE WHERE SHOULD IT BE? ROUTE ONE WHERE THE BEL AIR AUCTION WAS LOCATED. HARFORD MALL, WHERE AN EMPTY WAREHOUSE SITS. MACY'S, WHICH IS POSSIBLY CLOSING IN THE NEAR TERM. THE EMPTY THEATER BUILDING AND PARKING LOT AND CONSTANT FRIENDSHIP DRIVE ABINGDON GRILL, WHICH IS NOT GOING BAD. GOOD ON CONSTANT FRIENDSHIP DRIVE 510 JOHNNY'S AND THE ADJACENT SURROUNDING LAND, MOUNTAIN ROAD, CLOSE TO I-95 AS POSSIBLE. ROUTE FOUR CORRIDOR BETWEEN JOPPATOWNE AND ABERDEEN. CHURCHVILLE ROAD CLOSE TO I-95 AS POSSIBLE. FOUNTAIN GREEN ROAD CLOSE TO I-95 AS POSSIBLE. I COULD MENTION A LOT MORE. THAT'S JUST A FEW. QUESTION TWO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THEIR OUTDOOR RECREATION COMPLEX TO FIT THE NEEDS OF YOUTH AND SENIORS? A MULTI-PURPOSE COMMUNITY CENTER DESIGN WITH SPACES FOR BOTH YOUTH AND ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS. A HEALTH AND WELLNESS PARK WITH FISTS AND STONES, OR JUST A PARK WITH A PLAYGROUND. I HAVE A FRIEND, MARK, WHO ACTUALLY WROTE THOSE UP, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO THE COUNCIL ADMINISTRATOR FOR COPIES TO YOU FOLKS. HARFORD COUNTY CONTINUES TO SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON PRESERVING LAND IN THE NORTHERN END, AND DO NOT OWN ANY OF IT. WHY NOT INVEST SOME OF THIS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE AND OWN IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH HARFORD LAND TRUST AND OTHERS? ALL OF THIS WOULD REQUIRE, OBVIOUSLY, A HIGHER LEVEL OF THINKING AND A COMMITMENT BETWEEN COUNTY ENTITIES. I THINK I HEARD TONIGHT, MR. G, YOU PROBABLY HAD ABOUT A THOUSAND ACRES IN 6.5 MILLION. THAT IS GOING TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL WITH RECENT CHANGES TO THIS AG LAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS WAS, AND I QUOTE, TARGET LARGE OPEN SPACE PARCELS WITHIN OR ADJACENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE FOR PARKLAND ACQUISITION AND MAXIMIZE THE USE OF MARYLAND'S PROGRAM OPEN SPACE FUNDING. I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME WE START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. I ALMOST THINK A MORATORIUM IS NEEDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE. THIS DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE CANNOT HANDLE ANY MORE HOMES, APARTMENTS, RETAIL STORES, BANKS, RESTAURANTS, BIG BOX STORES. CETERA. ET CETERA ET CETERA. FILL ALL THE EMPTY ONES BEFORE YOU BUILD MORE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. WHALEN. GOOD EVENING, MA'AM. NAME AND ADDRES, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING. CASSANDRA BEVERLEY. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CASSANDRA BEVERLEY, AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE HARFORD COUNTY CAUCUS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADERS. I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M INTERESTED AND I SEE THAT YOU'VE PASSED THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AND REPAIR FUND. AS YOU KNOW, THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WAS DETRIMENTALLY IMPACTED BY THE CRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA. THIS FUND IS INTENDED TO TRY TO UNDO SOME OF THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE IN COMMUNITIES AS A RESULT OF THE CRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF SOCIAL EQUITY, AND THAT THEY RECOMMENDED THAT A COMMISSION BE FORMULATED TO LOOK AT HOW THESE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE EXPENDED. SO I WILL BE CERTAINLY LOOKING AT THAT. I DON'T I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO NO BODY AT PRESENT FOR EITHER INPUT BY CITIZENS. AND SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE DECISIONS ARE GOING TO BE MADE, ABOUT HOW THOSE HOW THAT GRANT MONEY IS GOING TO BE AWARDED. I WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT, AND AT

WE DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF EVERY VOTE THAT WE TAKE. AS WELL AS ANY IMPACT IT MAY HAVE ON OUR PEOPLE, THEIR LIVES AND THEIR LIVELIHOODS. MY COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR EMAIL ARE SUPPORTED BY THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN HAND. MISS DIXON, MISS ALLEGED. YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WE'VE HAD MEETINGS, CORRESPONDENCE, PHONE CALLS WITH MISS FOLEY, THE SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, AND SHE IS ALSO HIS BOARD ADMINISTRATOR. RELATED TO THIS ARE DOCUMENTS BACKED UP BY THE FACTS. I ALSO RECEIVED CALLS FROM A FEW MEMBERS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION AND OTHERS WHO HAD CALLED ON THEIR BEHALF PRIOR TO ANY ACTION BEING TAKEN. THIS IS WHY I SAY THERE'S INACCURACIES IN THESE EMAILS. IN THE FUTURE, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE THAT MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT WORDS MATTER, AND I WOULD REMIND EVERYONE THAT RELATIONSHIPS AND PRIOR HISTORY MATTERS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL ADJOURN
