CALLS TO ORDER SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE[Special Legislative Session on April 22, 2025.]
LEGISLATIVE DAY 25 DASH 14.I WOULD ASK YOU TO ALL STAND FOR THE PLEDGE, FOLLOWED BY OPENING PRAYER BY COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT, I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH WE STANDS NATION, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY, REDEEM, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
DEAR GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TONIGHT.
HELP US TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE RIGHT BY OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, BE WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND, UH, MOMENTS OF JOY AND IN MOMENTS OF SORROW, AND BE WITH THE HAVE DE GRACE COMMUNITY TONIGHT AS WE SUPPORT, UH, A FAMILY WHO'S GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST SUPPORT, UH, EVERYONE TO REMIND OURSELVES WHY WE COME TOGETHER AND NOT WHY WE COME APART.
COUNSEL, ALONG THOSE LINES, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO PATTY HANKINS, HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, UH, DUE TO THE PASSING OF HER SISTER KAREN, UM, WHO HAD SUFFERED FOR THE PAST 25 MONTHS WITH A, UM, TERRIBLE, UM, OUT OF, UH, AGGRESSIVE BRAIN CANCER.
UM, AGENDA NUMBER FOUR, CALL FOR FINDING BILLS BILL 25 DASH ZERO TWO.
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING, HARFORD COUNTY ZONING MET AS AMENDED.
MR. ANO, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I MOVE TO APPROVE BILL 25 DASH 0 0 2 AS AMENDED.
IT'S BEEN MOVED A SECOND TO APPROVE BILL 25 DASH 0 0 2.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION MR. BENNETT? UH, MR. PRESIDENT? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO SAY TONIGHT, UH, IF I COULD REWIND TIME AND START THE COMPREHENSIVE REZONING PROCESS AGAIN.
THERE'S A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED FOR ME.
I WAS AT A CAB MEETING RECENTLY AND UH, ONE OF THE PEOPLE CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, YOU KNOW, I CAME OUT AND SPOKE AT THE CON COMPREHENSIVE REZONING, UH, PUBLIC HEARING, BOTH WHEN IT WAS HOSTED BY PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEN WHEN IT WAS HOSTED BY THE COUNCIL.
AND THEY SAID, AND LITTLE DID I KNOW, THE TRAIN HAD ALREADY LEFT THE STATION BEFORE I EVER SPOKE.
AND WHETHER THAT SENTIMENT IS TRUE OR NOT, THE FACT THAT IT WAS FELT FOR ME FEELS LIKE A FAILURE OR GOVERNANCE.
YOU NEVER WANT ANYONE TO FEEL THAT WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS, UH, IN A VACUUM ABSENT OF THEIR FEEDBACK.
AND THEN MY OTHER THOUGHT IS, I REALLY HOPE WE LOOK AT THE MASTER PLAN SOON.
I THINK THAT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED BECAUSE WE WERE REALLY JUST NIBBLING AT THE EDGES OF COMPREHENSIVE REZONING WITHOUT, UH, EVALUATING OUR MASTER PLAN FOR WHAT OUR FUTURE'S GONNA LOOK LIKE.
SO I HOPE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PURSUE, UH, BEFORE THE END OF OUR TERM IS UP, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A LOT WE COULD LOOK AT TO HELP OUR, UH, OUR COUNTY AND WHAT DIRECTION WE GO.
UH, BUT WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
I WOULD ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS AS FAR AS THE MASTER PLAN'S CONCERNED.
I'M ON THE RECORD, UH, A YEAR AGO OR MORE, UH, SUGGESTING THAT WE REVERSE THE PROCESS THAT THAT MASTER PLAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FIRST BEFORE COMP ZONING.
UM, ANYONE ELSE COUNSEL, MS. DIXON? MR. PRESIDENT? AYE.
THERE BEING SIX VOTES IN AFFIRMATIVE ONE.
VACANT 25 0 2 AS AMENDED IS HEREBY APPROVED.
UM, BILL 25 DASH 0 0 4 I RAISE, DID RAISE MY HAND UP BEFORE.
WE SHOULD HAVE BUTTONS THAT LIGHT UP.
WATER AND SEWER RATE REVISIONS, UH, HAS BEEN PULLED BY THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE.
MR. SANDLES, YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK TO IT, I BELIEVE.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, UM, COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAD ASKED THAT, UM, THE COUNTY COME TO, UH, OFFER A BRIEF PRESENTATION OR JUST AT LEAST AN EXPLANATION AS TO A COMMUNICATION THAT WENT TO THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL LAST WEEK.
UM, SO AS YOU ARE AWARE, UH, THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE PROPOSED A FIVE YEAR RATE SCHEDULE, WHICH HAS BEEN THE COUNTY'S PRACTICE SINCE 2016, TO ADDRESS WATER AND SEWER RATES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEAR PERIOD
[00:05:01]
OF TIME.UH, THE CURRENT RATE SCHEDULE THAT WE ARE OPERATING UNDER ENDED WITH JULY 20 JULY OF 24 RATES.
UM, SO THE IDEA BEHIND THIS GOES BACK QUITE A WAYS ACTUALLY, PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS GOES BACK TO 2016, AT WHICH POINT, UH, THE COUNTY WAS OPERATING PRIOR TO 2017 IN A WAY WHERE REVENUES WERE NOT MEETING THE OPERATIONAL AND THE CAPITAL EXPENSES OF OUR WATER AND SEWER PROGRAM.
UH, SO THAT SAID, UM, THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND THE COUNCIL AT THAT TIME DETERMINED THAT TAKING A LOOK AT THIS EVERY FIVE YEARS AND ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE THAT ALLOWED FOR MAKING SURE THAT REVENUES KEPT TRACK WITH EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE EXPENSES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE COVERED ENTIRELY BY THE USERS, NOT THE GENERAL TAX PAYING PUBLIC.
UM, THAT SAID, THAT RE THE RESULT OF THAT DECISION BY THE COUNCIL AND COUNTY EXECUTIVE AT THAT TIME LED TO OUR FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN AS TO HOW WE WERE GOING TO ADDRESS FUNDING.
UM, THIS INITIATIVE IN 2016 AND 2017 THAT RESULTED IN A RATE CORRECTION OF JUST NORTH OF 25% FOR EACH OF THOSE TWO YEARS.
AND THE BALANCE OF THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN AVERAGE 4.5%.
UH, FOLLOWING THAT WE ENTERED INTO A SECOND FIVE YEAR PLAN AS HAD BEEN THE PRACTICE, AND THAT WAS 4.5%, WHICH AS STATED EXPIRED IN JUNE OF 2024.
UH, SO WHAT WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF YOU? ACTUALLY, IT WAS INITIATED AL WELL, EXACTLY A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH.
SO IN APRIL OF 2024, WE INITIATED A STUDY WITH INDEPENDENT INDUSTRY EXPERTS WHO SAT IN FRONT OF YOU THIS LAST WEEK, UH, TO PRESENT THE FINDINGS.
AND THEIR FINDINGS WAS FOR A MODEST REDUCTION OF THE RATE INCREASE.
SO THEIR, UM, I GUESS THEIR IDEA WAS THAT THE SUBSEQUENT FIVE YEARS SHOULD BE AT 4.2% IN ORDER TO CONTINUE COVERING THE COST OF THE PROGRAM.
UM, THAT SAID, I, THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S COMMUNICATION TO EACH OF YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS I THINK WAS, UM, YOU KNOW, PRETTY CLEAR IN THAT SINCE APRIL OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS STUDY WAS INITIATED, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITHIN OUR ECONOMY, UH, ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE STATE AND THE LOCAL LEVELS THAT, UM, HAVE, ARE CHANGES THAT I THINK WERE ARTICULATED BY THE COUNCIL LAST WEEK.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, IN SAYING THAT I THINK THE COUNTY APPRECIATE, OR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, EXCUSE ME, APPRECIATED YOUR STANCE AND AS SUCH, UH, THE DESIRE TO PUT A PAUSE ON RATE INCREASES AT THIS TIME, UM, HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AND THUS THE LETTER INDICATED THAT, UH, HE WAS WITHDRAWING THE LEGISLATION.
AND WE AS STATED, REVISIT THIS AT A FUTURE TIME.
ROBBIE, YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? NO, THANK, NO, I BELIEVE THAT THAT COVERED IT, BUT IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AVAILABLE? NO, I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT, THAT I WANT TO ADD, UH, JUST FOR THE RECORD AS I DID LAST WEEK, IS THAT IN 20 16, 20 17 WHEN WE MADE THOSE, UH, HARD DECISIONS TO MAKE THAT LIFT, THAT 25% THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S BECAUSE THE FUND BALANCE WAS NEARLY DEPLETED.
UH, WHEN WE CAME IN IN 14, UH, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, IT WAS $6 MILLION IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.
AND TODAY WE ARE IN FAR BETTER SHAPE AS THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE RECOGNIZED IN HIS MESSAGE.
SO I THINK IT'S BEST THAT WE DO PAUSE AND MOVE FORWARD AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME, GIVE OUR CITIZENS A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, UH, 'CAUSE THEY'RE GETTING POUNDED EVERY DAY, AS I SAID BEFORE, UH, BY RATES THAT ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
SO, UM, I APPRECIATE HIS POSITION.
I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT TO LET THE CITIZENS KNOW, UM, WHY THIS TRANSPIRED THE WAY IT DID, AND THANK YOU.
I'M SORRY MR. BENNETT, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
CAN YOU STILL GET TO US, UH, WHAT THE RATES WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE WERE USAGE ONLY VERSUS, UH, FLAT FEE PLUS USAGE? NOW, I I, I WILL SAY THAT THAT WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE A, A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE, I MEAN, A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE STUDY.
YOU COULD PROBABLY DO SOME TYPE OF BACK OF THE ENVELOPE TYPE DEAL JUST TAKING THE, THE TOTAL COST TO THE SYSTEM AND DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF, OF, UM, OF GALLONS SERVICED.
UM, BUT IN ORDER TO PROBABLY DO IT PROPERLY, IT, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PART OF THE, THE INITIAL STUDY.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID LOOK AT THOUGH, UM, I KNOW YOU DID BRING UP IN, IN IN HA GRACE, IS THAT THERE ARE SOME FIXED COSTS WITHIN THE HA GRACE BILL.
I KNOW THERE'S LIKE ABOUT A $20, UH, DEBT SERVICE COST MM-HMM
AND I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER COST.
SO IT'S NOT ENTIRELY AN ONLY, UM, A VOLUME BASED CHARGE THAT WOULD BE, UM, A ENTIRELY VOLUME BASED CHARGE WOULD BE VERY ATYPICAL.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY CAN BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU LOOK AT, BUT IN ORDER TO PROBABLY DO IT PROPERLY, YOU WOULD NEED TO DO IT AS PART OF A MUCH MORE, UM, YOU KNOW, EXTENSIVE STUDY IN ORDER TO GET THAT AS OPPOSED TO JUST SAYING LIKE, OH, BY, BY NOT DOING THE RATES, YOU KNOW, LIKE HOW MUCH WOULD THE RATES NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR OR THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO CATCH UP, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN EASIER MATH ISSUE.
[00:10:02]
MR. RILEY, STEVE, BECAUSE IT'S USER BASE THOUGH, IF THEY'RE NOT GONNA PAY THE 4.2% THIS YEAR, THEN NEXT YEAR GOTTA BE EITHER 4.2.IN FACT, IT'S GOTTA BE HIGHER THAN 4.2.
AGAIN, IT'S USER BASE, SO THEY'RE PAYING FOR THE SYSTEM.
AND, AND THIS, THIS KIND OF GETS INTO THE, OF THE, THE ISSUE OF, OF THE RESERVES, OKAY.
AND THE RESERVES THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE WATER AND SOURCE SYSTEM ARE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, RESERVES FOR THE SAKE OF, OF BEING RESERVES.
THEY'RE LARGELY A RESULT OF, UM, DEPRECIATING ASSETS.
YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE A, A RATHER EXTENSIVE WATER AND SOURCE SYSTEM, MUCH OF WHICH WAS BUILT OUT IN THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES.
THOSE ASSETS ARE AGING, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED.
AND KIND OF MORE OR LESS FROM AN ACCOUNTING STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU DEPRECIATE YOUR ASSETS OVER THE LONG TERM.
AND THE IDEAL WAY OF DOING THIS IS TO PUT ASIDE MONEY, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR FROM THAT DEPRECIATION EXPENSE SO THAT YOU CAN REPLACE THOSE, THOSE ASSETS AS, AS NEEDED.
UM, AND THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACCUMULATED THESE, UM, THESE RESERVES AND THAT'S WHY THE PLAN IS TO USE THESE RESERVES, UM, LARGELY TO REPLENISH THE CAPITAL SYSTEM.
YOU KNOW, FROM AN OPERATING STANDPOINT, WE ARE OKAY, WE ARE FULLY MEETING OUR, OUR OBLIGATIONS, BUT YES, YOU KNOW, AT, AT SOME POINT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO, UM, UH, YOU CHANGE THE RATE STRUCTURE, YOU REALLY WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE RATE STRUCTURE OR NOT REPLENISH CAPITAL AT, AT KIND OF, AT THE SAME, AT THE, AT THE SAME LEVEL.
SO YES, ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S NO WAY OF GETTING AROUND IT.
I MEAN THE, THE, THE, THE SYSTEM IS AN EXPENSIVE SYSTEM TO OPERATE.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
THERE'S A LOT OF STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
UM, AND, AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT PROPERLY, YOU DO NEED TO HAVE THE PROPER REVENUE STREAMS, YOU KNOW, NOW.
SO WE CAN TAKE A, YOU KNOW, A PAUSE IN THE SHORT TERM FROM THAT.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, IN THE LONG TERM THERE'S, THERE'S KIND OF, KIND OF NO ESCAPING, THERE'S NO ESCAPING THE MATH.
IN, IN THAT REGARDS THEN, CAN YOU GIVE US A PROJECTION FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ON THE CAPITAL EXPENSES? WELL, THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE'LL BE, BE, BE LOOKING AT AND WE'LL, WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH, THROUGH THIS WITH OUR, WITH OUR CAPITAL BUDGET, UM, UH, PROJECTIONS.
YOU KNOW, WE WILL NEED TO REDUCE THE REVENUE, UM, IN THE BUDGET THAT WAS SUBMITTED.
UM, AND WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE AREA OF $3.2 MILLION.
AND THEN WE'LL NEED TO LOOK AT THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES THAT ARE PLANNED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.
AND WE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO STRETCH OUT THAT THAT PERIOD, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT'S LIFECYCLE DRIVEN.
YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU HAVE A LIFE CYCLE AND YOU'RE LIKE, LOOK, WE NEED TO REPLACE THIS.
YOU HAVE A ROOF IN YOUR HOUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR ROOF EVERY, EVERY 20 YEARS.
NOW DOES THAT MEAN IF YOU DON'T REPLACE IT UNTIL YEAR 22, THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A WATERFALL IN YOUR, IN KNOW, IN YOUR BEDROOM? PROBABLY NOT.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT YOU ARE GONNA NEED TO REPLACE THAT ROOF.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE, WHERE WE'RE GONNA NEED TO BE.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO, UM, LOOK AT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND STRETCH THEM, STRETCH THEM OUT, UM, UNTIL WE, WE DO GET A, A BETTER SENSE OF LIKE, OKAY, WHAT IS GOING BE THE LONG TERM REVENUE REVENUE SOLUTION? SO OPERATIONS COMPLETELY FINE, BUT ONGOING CAPITAL WILL BE, NEED, NEED TO BE EXAMINED.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT DURING OUR BUDGET WORK SESSIONS, PROBABLY.
UM, AND TO MR. RILEY'S POINT, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY SOMEDAY SOME TIME AT SOME PRICE, BUT TODAY OUR CITIZENS HAVE ENOUGH ON THEM AND I APPRECIATE THE PAUSE.
AND, UM, THEN WHEN YOU COME BACK, THINGS MAY BE IN A BETTER SITUATION NO DIFFERENT THAN WE OPERATE OUR STUFF AT HOME.
WE CAN'T JUST GO BY EVERY DAY.
WE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THINGS COST, RELEVANT TO HOW MUCH INCOME WE HAVE.
SO, UM, I'M GLAD TO SEE WE'RE TAKING THE PAUSE.
UM, AGENDA NUMBER FIVE, ENROLLMENT OF BILLS BILL 25 DASH ZERO TWO AS AMENDED SERVES AS THE TEXT FINALLY PASSED.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION MR. BENNETT, MR. PRESIDENT? I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY, UM, IT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, UH, ALSTON'S ON THE POLAR OPPOSITE END OF THE COUNTY FROM WHERE I LIVE.
UM, AND SO GETTING TO KNOW ALL THREE CANDIDATES WAS REALLY FOR ME, A GREAT WAY OF GETTING TO KNOW DISTRICT B AND THE IN FOREST HILL, UH, COMMUNITY.
UM, AND BOTH CANDIDATES HAD MANY EMAILS SENT ON THEIR BEHALF FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, WHICH WAS REALLY ENCOURAGING TO SEE, UM, TO BE ABLE TO HEAR, UH, FROM THEM.
AND THE OTHER THING I THINK IS WORTH POINTING OUT IS IF, UH, MS. MOFF IS APPROVED, IT'S BEEN A RARE
[00:15:01]
OCCURRENCE THAT THERE'S BEEN THREE WOMEN ON THE COUNTY COUNCIL AT ONCE, WHICH WILL BE A PRETTY, UH, SPECIAL, UNIQUE THING.'CAUSE TWO TERMS AGO THERE WERE ZERO.
