Summary of Action

1. Presented a proclamation to Phillip Waugh as a tribute for his brave and heroic action of pulling his father from their plane crash at the Chesapeake Ranch Estates Airport.
2. Reappointed J. Matthew Gambrill to the Solomons Architectural Review Committee.
3. Awarded the Exterior Painting/Staining/Power Washing contract to Performance Painting & Restoration, Port Republic, Maryland, based on the fact that they are local and have the ability to be more responsive to the County’s needs. Directed staff to investigate the possibility of establishing local preference parameters.
4. Approved the recommendation of staff to forward the letter to the Tri-County Council with the County’s finalized list of transportation priorities.
5. Held a work session on the consideration of deferring the expiration of County-issued approvals and granting other relief for the development community. Directed staff to proceed as recommended to explore:  1) deferral of expiration of Site Plan approvals in addition to that already provided in the Zoning Ordinance; 2) deferral of expiration of Subdivision approvals in addition to that already provided for in the Zoning Ordinance; 3) deferral of expiration of Building Permit approvals in addition to that already provided for in the Building Code; 4) deferral of payment of Sewer Capital Connection Charges upon the payment of interest; 5) allow the transfer of sewer taps between approved developments in the same sewer service area and under common ownership; and 6) create provision to allow phasing (development over a number of years in accordance with an approved schedule).
6. Attended the Calvert County Annual Employee Service Awards, recognizing those employees who have served County government for five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, and thirty years. Also, presented a check to Vicki Ross as “Employee of the Year” for 2011, recognizing the extraordinary job she does every day in dealing with the public in the employment application process, as well as dealing with fellow employees in the County’s training program.
