Held a public hearing regarding the joint ownership of the Chesapeake Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant by Calvert County, the Town of North Beach, and the Town of Chesapeake Beach.

Approved the amended restricted funds budget for the Board of Education in the amount of $11,859,598. Commissioner Kelley directed staff to research as to how many students are part of the “non-public placement” and how much it costs per student. Commissioner Stinnett directed staff to review state and federal grants to see if there had been a combined cut.

Awarded the Traffic Control Devices and Associated Materials contract to Garden State Highway Products for the total lump sum bid of $69,235.61.

Authorized staff to remove and replace the two signs at Boyd King Park and directed staff to proceed with the construction of the pavilion utilizing the design prepared by Grandpa’s Place Woodworks.
