June 4, 2019
Dear Friends,

In the last two weeks, two F-1 tornadoes have touched down in Howard County. We are fortunate to have such dedicated employees with our Police, Fire and Rescue, Public Works and Recreation & Parks departments and Office of Emergency Management, who have and continue to work diligently to respond to all calls and assess any damage. 
 
In the wake of these weather events, I, along with our Office of Emergency Management, are encouraging residents to take the necessary steps now to prepare for inclement weather should it strike. Make sure you family has an emergency plan, and knows the plan, and your home and vehicles are equipped with a basic disaster supply kit. Also, know what disasters and hazards could affect our area and what to do before, during and after each type of emergency. For tornadoes, how to shelter for one whether inside or stuck outside, and the warning signs to look for, check out www.ready.gov/tornadoes.
 
Additionally, be in the know. Make sure your " Emergency Alerts" are activated on your wireless phone, you’ve signed up for weather alerts and your home is stocked with a NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards.
 
We thank you for taking these steps to ensure your family is prepared and informed. Let’s all stay safe and continue to look out for one another.

Airplane Noise Alert
The noise from BWI’s NextGen flight paths has been negatively impacting our community for years. My office and all of Howard County Government has been tirelessly working to make the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revert the airport’s flight paths back to pre-NextGen.
 
Our Office of Law is currently challenging the FAA’s decisions that changed the flight paths in Federal Court. Additionally, our Director of Constituent Services and Community Partnerships sits on the DC Metroplex BWI Communist Roundtable Working Group , which is in conversations with the FAA. The next meeting of the Roundtable will be held on Tuesday, July 9 starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Maryland Department of Transpiration’s Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) offices, Assembly Rooms A & B, at 992 Corporate Boulevard in Linthicum .
 
You also have the power to help make the FAA restore the pre-NextGen flight paths. If you have not already done so, we recommend you submit a complaint directly to the MAA and request that they perform a sound study on your property. To submit a complaint, contact the MAA Noise Hotline at 410-859-7021 or you can do so online here .
Patuxent Challenge
Are you ready for a challenge? This summer I encourage you to check out the Patuxent Challenge , a series of outdoor activities throughout the Patuxent River watershed to promote all that Maryland’s greatest river has to offer. Designated one of our state’s most scenic rivers, Howard County is one of seven counties that lies within the watershed. Participating is easy; just document your completed activity by taking a selfie with each activity’s Patuxent Challenge sign and email your pics to PatuxentChallenge@gmail.com to receive your prize. So, swing by the Howard County Welcome Center or the Robinson Nature Center today to pick up your brochure. If you stop by the Nature Center, you can kick off the challenge by hiking on the trails that wander alongside the Middle Patuxent River.
Legislative Matters
In the County
On Wednesday, the Howard County Council unanimously passed final versions of my Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) operating and capital budgets. With these budgets our priorities are clear, 58 cents out of every dollar in the General Fund will go toward the  Howard County Public School System when including debt service of capital projects and retiree benefits.

I want to thank the Howard County Council - Christiana Mercer Rigby, Opel Jones, Liz Walsh, Deb Jung, and David Yungmann - for helping us create a strong blueprint for the future of our community. I appreciate their collaboration on education to ensure we achieve our collective vision for Howard County, with a record setting amount of school funding.

Our operating and capital budgets will responsibly manage tax payer dollars to support our community needs. We are funding new and expanded school buildings, aspects of the Ellicott City Safe and Sound plan, facilities for older adults, transportation improvements - including roads, bikeways, sidewalks and bus stops, new fire stations, technology infrastructure, and more. When it comes to Fire and Rescue, I maintain that we must act now to address our staffing needs and invest in public safety.

Moving forward, we will continue our commitment to spending wisely and bettering the quality of life for all. Read more about the budget here.

  • The launch of a new Master Plan Advisory Team, including a mix of returning and new members.

  • A multi-week online engagement campaign this July to get everyone up to speed on what master plan concepts will be changing given my “EC Safe and Sound” flood mitigation plan and to gather input regarding amenity space, parking, infill development, circulation, placemaking and more as impacted by the plan.

  • Input gathered this summer will help with the development of new and refined concepts for public review this fall.

  • ZRA—188 Glenelg Country School - Amend Section 131.0.D to exempt setback requirements from lots in common ownership and allow the Hearing Authority to grant setback variances for Conditional Uses; Amend Section 131.0.F.2 to accept easements as written authorization for a petition; and Amend Section 131.0.N.48 to include child day care and nursery schools as an accessory use to Schools, Colleges, Universities—Private (Academic).

The northern portion of the site was rezoned to R-SA-8 with a DSP in 2017 (ZB-1109M) for 29 single-family attached dwellings. The southern part of the site (identified only as Rt. 216 right-of-way) remained RR-DEO. The petitioner proposes to combine both properties into a unified development under a single DSP.

Council Bill 4-19 amended the Howard County code to require DPW provide monthly reports on each application for a necessary disturbance application . Necessary Disturbance deals with grading, removing vegetation and trees, and paving in wetlands, streams, wetland buffers, stream buffers or steep slopes. To do so requires a detailed justification to DPZ clearly showing that meeting the rule cannot be accomplished without some level of flexibility and that disturbing environmental features is necessary for reasonable development. Beginning with the April 2019 report , these reports will be updated monthly.
