Westminster council meeting report for the July 13 2009 meeting

Labels: , , , ,

Westminster Eagle Town Hall Ticker, by Kevin Dayhoff Wednesday, July 15, 2009 – July 27, 2009

Westminster council meeting details city improvements and comprehensive plan

The agenda for the July 27, 2009 Westminster mayor and common council meting may be found here: http://www.westgov.com/citygov/agendas/mcc_agenda072709.pdf

The last Westminster mayor and common council meeting on Monday, July 13, 2009, ran a little longer than usual as Westminster officials found themselves with a full agenda and lots of ground to cover.

The meeting began with a mayoral proclamation for “Recreation and Parks Month” which Westminster mayor Kevin Utz presented to Ron Schroers, the Westminster director of recreation and parks.

Then it was Schroers turn to take center stage as he stood to receive, not one, but two, citizen recreation organization checks that were presented for the community’s recreation facilities.

With the economy continuing to lag and the city coffers running low, city officials seemed more than eager to accept checks from the Westminster Stingrays swim team and the United States Tennis Association.

Schroers displayed a broad smile on his face as he accepted a check in the amount of $4,800.00 for refurbishments to the municipal pool. The Stingrays “are more than just a competitive swim team… but provide a great service to the community,” said a beaming Schroers.

The Mid Atlantic Maryland U.S. Tennis Association turned over to Schroers a check for $2,888.00 for improvements to the tennis courts on the municipal playground.

Schroers did not have the donations for long as Utz quickly extended his hand to get the check.

Then it was down to business. The bulk of the meeting was taken-up with another in a continuing series of presentations, by Westminster city planner Melissa Hynes, on efforts to update the city’s comprehensive plan.

With the county’s “Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape” comprehensive plan so much in the news these days; councilmembers peppered Hynes with questions as she presented the transportation, community facilities and public services, and community design elements components of the city’s vision for the next twenty-years of planning for the community.

Hynes displayed large maps and had plenty of briefing papers for the city’s elected officials to review. She concluded with an overall summary of the work that lies ahead.

Westminster city attorney, John Walsh, remarked at one point, “We’re at the start of the process.”

Hynes further explained that it is hoped that a 60-day public-input and review process will begin in weeks. This part of the process includes the city’s planning and zoning commission also taking a long hard look at the document.

The comprehensive plan will be available to the public on the city’s web site, the city offices in hardcopy document form, CD, or at the county library. Officials stressed the need for public input.

Westminster’s comprehensive plan was last prepared in 2004. The plan, which is to be updated, according to Maryland law, every six years, is not legally scheduled to be completed until June 2010; although Hynes expressed an interest in hopefully having a finished document in front of common council, for their approval, by the end of September.

However, an hour later, as councilmembers continued to ask questions, Hynes said that she was allowing the timeline plenty of flexibility if it’s needed.

Meanwhile city officials allowed themselves to show signs of relief and quickly moved-on to other business.

Schroers presented bids for the council’s approval to replace a city shed on the municipal playground. He referred to the current building and an accompanying trailer, also slated to be replaced by the new building, as the “eyesores in the back of the Armory” – (the city’s Longwell recreational building.)

As discussions continued over anticipation for the building’s replacement, one member of the audience was overheard to say that the city won’t have to tear the old building down “because it’ll fall down soon.”

The new building, which was earlier anticipated to cost as much as $250,000.00, was bid on by 11 different contractors. Schroers explained that he city value-engineered the winning bid by CRC contractors from $199,600 to the final bid of $176,322.00.

The council voted to go ahead with the playground improvement. The building, which is being paid for by grants and private donations, will also be used by the Fallfest committee and the Optimist Club, which will team-up with the city and pay the operating expenses for 40-foot by 24-foot two-story structure.

Elected officials nodded with approval as it was explained that Westminster general fund tax dollars will not be used for its construction.

Next it was Jeff Glass, the city’s director of public works’ turn as he presented a request for approval for two trucks and the street overlay program. This year’s street-surface improvements will concentrate on resurfacing Bond Street from West Green Street to the city line and Doyle Avenue – Old New Windsor Road - from around the intersection with West Green Street to the city limits.

Glass explained that this year’s budget has allocated $200,000.00 for the road improvements.

Glass also explained and then asked for approval of the city’s latest water conservation measure; a water-conserving toilet replacement rebate program.

There was no new business or old business on the agenda and the meeting moved right along into the department head reports, which included a detailed report of calls for service from Westminster fire department president Bill Brehm, and incident reports by Jeff Spaulding, the Westminster police chief.

Spaulding also gave-out more details on the recent three-alarm apartment fire in The Greens area of town. He explained that an individual was arrested after the fire and charged with arson.

The balance of the department report portion of the meeting saw city administrator Marge Wolf focus on the city’s new web site and plans for employees, to be trained shortly, to use four video cameras to help promote Westminster.

The meeting seemed to flow seamlessly at that point to a report by Schroers on a recent Maryland Municipal League statewide award for municipal excellence for the private-public partnership utilized to refurbish the city’s seven-year-old skateboard park.

Also discussed by Schroers were plans by the Lion’s Club to replace the play equipment in a corner of the playground behind the baseball diamond backstop, dubbed the “cat litter box,” and efforts to bring back an historic holiday tradition, called “Santa’s Treat.”

This led into a report by the Christmas parade chair, Lori Graham, on preparations for the annual Christmas parade.

With that, council president Damian Halstad gaveled the meeting to a close and folks quickly paraded out the door.

One audience member was overheard to say, as they bolted for the door, that in the future, if the meeting is to last “this long, Ron (Schroers) and Melissa (Hynes) ought to lay-in food and supplies…”

Possible tornado touches down in southern Carroll County, 2 hurt, 2700 homes without power.
http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2009/07/possible-tornado-touches-down-in.html
By Kevin Dayhoff July 27, 2009 1:30 AM

Sykesville - Several violent thunderstorms ripped through southern Carroll County Sunday evening. The storm downed trees and power lines, damaged cars and 37 homes; and kept the Sykesville Freedom District Fire Company busy past midnight.

The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company reported 2700 homes without power as the evening wore-on.

The first call for help was received by the Sykesville fire department at 5:52 pm. Before the evening was over, the department had responded to over 39 – 911 calls including one call in which two persons had to be extricated from a vehicle struck by a fallen tree, according to Sykesville fire department chief Ed Ruch, Sr.

It was moments earlier, at 5:40 pm that, according to “The Emergency Email and Wireless Network”: “the National Weather Service in Sterling Va issued a severe thunderstorm warning for N. Howard County in central Md. So. central Carroll County in No. central Md. and southwestern Baltimore County in N. Md. until 645 Pm EDT.

“At 538 Pm EDT. Natl Weather Svc Doppler Radar Indicated A Severe Thunderstorm. This Storm Was Located 9 Miles West Of Sykesville.& Moving East At 25 Mph.

“Locations Impacted Include: Sykesville, Eldersburg, Gamber, Oakland, Ellicott City, Randallstown, Owings Mills, Milford Mill, Reisterstown, and Lochearn. Hail To The Size Of Pennies Can Be Expected In The Warned Area.”

An article by Clay Myers on the Gamber and Community Fire Company website reports “One very large old tree at the corner of Sunset and Liberty Lake Drive in Eldersburg blew down on top of a car during the sudden storm. For more information and pictures, click here.

“Units from Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department, Liberty Road Volunteer Fire Company (Baltimore County), and Gamber & Community Fire Co. were alerted for a tree on a car with people trapped at approximately 6:07 pm.

“First arriving units reported multiple persons trapped. Remaining units arrived from different directions and conducted a rescue operation. Numerous neighbors had already started using chain saws to remove limbs from the car. Two children were rescued and sent to Johns Hopkins Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room by ambulance.”

Meanwhile, firefighters from the Sykesville department worked late into the night going door-to-door in the three-mile area around the Oak Hill, Locust Lane, Liberty Road, and Macbeth Way area of the county checking on citizens and doing a damage assessment.

For several hours in the late evening an emergency response command center was set-up at the Sykesville fire station conference room to coordinate the response to the damage and an evacuation shelter was set-up in the station’s social hall staffed by members of the Red Cross and the Sykesville fire department auxiliary.

The command center was staffed by members of the Sykesville fire department, Maryland State Police, Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, the Carroll County Emergency Management Division, and the Carroll County Chapter of the American Red Cross.

In the command center, Sykesville department public information officer Dennis Beard and county emergency management division representative Chrissy Calp helped coordinate the county emergency response efforts with the county roads department, Vivian Laxton, the county public information officer and Chief Ruch, who served as the incident commander.

At the command center, Major Tom Long of the county Sheriff’s Department said sheriff’s department deputies would maintain heightened patrols throughout the night and into Monday.

Chief Ruch said that “come daylight people will be surprised as to how much damage was done to the area.”

According to several citizen reports, the widespread damage was caused by what appeared to have been a tornado.

A funnel cloud was reported to have spotted as citizens scrambled for cover. Firefighters reported trees “twisted” and damaged in swath that travelled east to west across the region.

As midnight fell upon the station, the last of the firefighters who had gone door-to-door returned to the fire station with a house-by-house list of the damaged properties and reported that portions of at least four roads remained closed: Raincliffe, Oakland Mills, Liberty Lake Drive and Slacks Road.

In other parts of the state, WJZ Channel 13 reporter Mike Schuh “reports the damage in Baltimore County was widespread…

“‘Within the darkness, I saw from the corner of my eye, a really dark snarling mass. I guess a funnel cloud was going to go right through the door," said one onlooker.’

“‘We all ran into the basement, stayed there for about a minute or two, and then realized that it passed by,’ said another man.

“The storm packed hail and high winds.

“There were more than 20,000 people without power just in Baltimore County.”

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973 Study Recommends 10 More Troopers Carroll Record

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973

Study Recommends Ten More Troopers For County

—Ten more State Policemen are needed in Carroll County, according to a study commissioned by the county, funded by the federal government and made by the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police last fall.

Citing a rising crime rate and overall county growth, the study intended to survey the opinions of people in the county and make recommendations for improvements. Local police forces were evaluated in the report.

Though all of the municipal forces, with the exception of Westminster, were termed inadequate, the study felt they all work well with the State Police force in the county.

Town officials frequently felt their local forces were beneficial as a deterrent to crime and most wanted a marked police car around even if their overall effectiveness was inadequate.

Nags Head Vacationing Past

Steven R. Berryman

Forgetting politics and current events for a time, vacation is on my mind. One must only notice the missing traffic from Interstate 270 southbound in the mornings to fully realize this!

North Carolina beach towns have more Maryland license tags than does the City of Frederick right about now, and I just laugh at current vacation strategy, and shake my head.

The golden strand of barrier islands from Kitty Hawk, to Kill Devil Hills, to Nags Head has entire communities of “beach houses,” two to three thousand square feet or more in size.

ROME (Reuters) – A team of archaeologists using sonar technology to scan the seabed have discovered a "graveyard" of five pristine ancient Roman shipwrecks off the small Italian island of Ventotene.

The trading vessels, dating from the first century BC to the fifth century AD, lie more than 100 meters underwater and are amongst the deepest wrecks discovered in the Mediterranean in recent years, the researchers said on Thursday.

Morning rain in Nags Head, North Carolina

July 24, 2009

I was awakened a little after 6 AM this morning by yet another in a series of week-long thunderstorms on the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

The storm passed quickly enough and the balance of the day has been interspersed with periods of bright sunshine. I have been told that the beach has been crowded.

At the moment another thunderstorm is passing through. The photos above were taken around 6:25 AM.
