REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The Hagerstown/Washington County Convention Visitors Bureau (CVB) has submitted a request for Hotel Rental Tax funding to support the USA Cycling Amateur Road National Championships to be held on July 26-29, 2018. The amount of funding requested for this event by the CVB is $25,000. DISCUSSION: The USA Cycling Amateur Road National Championship is a nationally recognized event that is certain to bring economic benefits to our region. As a host community of the USAC Championships the region can anticipate increased visitor spending on lodging, food & beverage, retails, gas, and amusements. The USAC Championships will also generate labor income in the hospitality, transportation, government, health, waste, insurance, emergency services, construction and utilities sectors. This national event will elevate the profile of our community and present it as a preferred destination among cyclists. The 2016 USA Cycling Amateur Road National Championships event managers have reported 800 registered athletes for this year's event, historically the event attracts between 700 and 1,000 unique participants. On average two spectators accompany each athlete. Additionally, 30 + staff members and officials will be in the region for this event. A minimum of 140 room nights will be generated from this event from staff and officials. It is anticipated that athletes and spectators will generate an additional 2,000 -3,500 room nights during the course of the event. USA Cycling championship events in Bend Oregon and Augusta Georgia were formally studied to determine economic impact. The studies calculated a $1.44 million impact in Bend in 2009 and a $1.17 million impact in Augusta in 2012. Visit Hagerstown expects to see a $1.5 million impact in Hagerstown and Washington County in 2018. The total event budget for 2018 is set at $70,000. The CVB has secured funding from the CVB/Maryland Sports Commission and local & national sponsors for this event totaling $45,000. The project budget for County Hotel Rental Tax funding includes $3,250 for promotion and advertising, $13,500 for law enforcement and EMS services, $4,500 for waste management and $3,750 for rental equipment - set up and tear down. This event meets all 7 of the Board of County Commissioner's goals and criteria for the use of Hotel Rental Tax Funds. There are no issues of outstanding obligations to the County that would prevent the CVB from receiving funding. It is the recommendation of the Washington County Office of Community Grant Management that this application be approved in an amount determined to be appropriate by the Board of County Commissioners. FISCAL IMPACT: The Hotel Rental Tax Fund will be reduced by the amount of this award. CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request for Hotel Rental Tax Funding.

ATTEST/ WITNESS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND BY: Vicki C. Lumm, Clerk Terry L. Baker, President RESIDENTIAL ANTI -DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN The Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland (the "Board") will take every preventable action to minimize the involuntary displacement of persons or businesses when using federal funds received from the Maryland Community Development Block Grant funds as a source of funding in our projects. In the event that displacement occurs, the Board, hereby agrees to comply with all requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 ("URA"), as amended, as described in 49 CFR Part 24; and with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 ("HCD Act of 1974"), as amended, as described in 24 CFR Part 42. RELOCATION The Board will provide relocation assistance as required under the URA to all persons or businesses displaced as a direct result of assisted activities. They shall be provided relocation benefits which, at a minimum, include: • Relocation assistance planning and advisory services; • Moving expenses; • Referral to comparable replacement unit; and • Replacement housing payments for 42 months. Low and moderate income households displaced by the acquisition or demolition of housing or by the conversion or rehabilitation of low and moderate income dwellings to another use are entitled to additional benefits under the requirements of 24 CFR 42.350. These additional benefits include: • Security deposits and credit checks, • Referral to comparable replacement unit; and • Replacement housing payments for 60 months. Additionally, legal, low and moderate income tenants are also eligible for: • Referral to at least one suitable, decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling unit. The Board shall advise tenants of their rights under the Federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-3619, and of replacement housing opportunities in such a manner that, wherever feasible, they will have a choice between relocation within their neighborhood and other neighborhoods; and • Each person must be offered rental assistance equal to 60 times the amount necessary to reduce the monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for a replacement dwelling (comparable replacement dwelling or decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling to which the person relocates, whichever costs less) to the "Total Tenant Payment." All or a portion of this assistance may be offered through a certificate or voucher for rental assistance (if available) provided under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f. In addition, in consideration of the financial assistance received from the Maryland CDBG Program, particularly when such assistance is used for acquisition, rehabilitation, demolition, or conversion which results in temporary relocation, the Board agrees to assist either the temporarily displaced residential or business tenant or owner occupant during the time they are displaced. Those receiving temporary relocations shall receive at a minimum: • Interim living costs; • Relocation assistance planning and advisory services; • Reasonable moving expenses; and • Rental Assistance (if moving to more expensive unit). ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT HOUSING In the event that low and moderate income dwelling units are demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income housing, the Board will replace all units that were occupied or were vacant but deemed occupiable as required under Section 104(d) of the HCD Act of 1974, as amended. All replaced housing will be provided within three (3) years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the Board will make public and submit to the Maryland CDBG Office the following information in writing: • A description of the proposed assisted activity; • The location on a map and number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; • A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; • The general location on a map and approximate number of dwellings units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; • The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and • The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate- income dwelling for at least ten (10) years from the date of initial occupancy. GENERAL POLICIES 1. The Board will take every preventable action to minimize the involuntary displacements of persons or businesses during the implementation of our CDBG funded projects. Examples of actions that may be taken include: • Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation, working with empty buildings or groups of empty units first, so they can be rehabilitated first, and tenants moved in before rehabilitation of occupied units or buildings is begun. • Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration, so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction. • Provide counseling to assist homeowners and renters to understand the range of assistance that may be available to help them in staying in the area being revitalized. 2. The Board may enter into a written agreement with a subrecipient, or the owner of the assisted property, under which either may pay all or part of the cost of the required relocation assistance. 3. The Board understands the cost of relocation assistance and other benefits shall be paid from CDBG funds or such other funds as may be available from any source including the jurisdiction's general fund. 4. The Board will refer owners and/or tenants to the State CDBG Program if there is a disagreement with the determination that these requirements do not apply to an acquisition or a displacement. 5. The Board will prepare a specific Relocation Plan in the event that funding is requested for a project where it is known that displacement will occur. This Anti -Displacement Plan is hereby adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland on July 25,2017. It is effective for a 5 year period until July 24, 2022. ATTEST/WITNESS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND BY: Vicki C. Lumm, Clerk Terry L. Baker, President Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Open Session Item SUBJECT: Conococheague Treatment Plant ENR Upgrade PRESENTATION DATE: July 25, 2017 PRESENTATION BY: Mark D Bradshaw, PE, Deputy Director RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve Change Order #2 for HRI Bridge Company, Inc. in the amount of $83,685.50. REPORT -IN -BRIEF: Manhole 2A is where the new plant effluent pipe connects to the existing effluent pipe. The plan labeled the existing effluent pipe as having a 30" diameter, but when exposed, the pipe was actual a 36" diameter pipe. This required the precast manhole to be cored in order to accommodate the larger pipe. Also the existing effluent pipe was a hollow corrugated PVC pipe that requires a special connection boot. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 011B dated June 9, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $13,082.00 and adds seven (7) calendar days to the contract. The plans call for all tee bolts to be stainless steel. The Contractor setup a temporary bypass between the headworks and oxidation ditches to install new piping. The Contractor started the installation of the new piping and it was discovered that the tee bolts supplied by the vendor were too short and would not work. To reorder the required stainless steel tee bolts, it would have taken 3 weeks to obtain them. In order to keep the project moving forward, the Contractor proposed to utilize standard steel bolts instead of stainless steel and provide the County with a credit for the cost difference. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 013A dated June 19, 2017. Decrease the contract amount by $3,626.00. The plans called for the WAS flow meter to be installed in a vault outside of the building. The Contractor proposed to install the flow meter inside the building thus eliminating the vault which will result in a savings. This change would result in an overall net savings that is to be divided equally between the County and Contractor per the County's General Conditions - Value Engineering Change Proposal section. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 014 dated June 19, 2017. Decrease the contract amount by $2,727.50. The electrical drawing indicated a high float switch was to be installed but the instrumentation scope didn't include the high float switch. The high float switch is necessary thus it had to be added to the instrumentation scope. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 015A dated June 19, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $547.00. The PM drawing indicated a wall was to be constructed in the solids handing building but no details regarding the wall were provided on the structural drawings. The proposed door wasn't 2IPage AGENDA REPORT FORM shown on the door schedule. The CMU wall was required in order to separate the new electrical room from the remainder of the building. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 016A dated June 19, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $28,579.00 and adds five (5) calendar days to the contract. The main power duct bank had to be relocated from what was shown on the plans due the location of existing utilities being located where the duct bank was to be located. The new route increased the overall length by 125 LF and went through an existing paved parking lot. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 012A dated July 5, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $8,774.00 and adds three (3) calendar days to the contract. The Contractor had to take the influent splitter box off line to install a new influent pipe. When the flows were diverted, we discovered approximately five (5) feet of solids in the bottom of the splitter box. The solids had to be removed prior to installing the new piping. As part of the upgrade, the Contractor has to make structural modification to the three (3) existing oxidation ditches. The specification estimated that the Contractor would need to remove a total of 110 cubic yards of sludge from the three (3) existing oxidation ditches. When oxidation ditch #3 was taken out of service, the Contractor removed 123 cubic yards of sludge from the tank, which exceed the quantity provided in the specification. When oxidation ditch #2 was taken out of service, the Contractor removed 120 cubic yards of sludge for the tank which exceeded the quantities as well. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 017A dated July 5, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $39,057.00 and adds five (5) calendar days to the contract. DISCUSSION: Due to actual construction conditions and design issues, several changes are proposed to the Conococheague WwTP ENR upgrade as outlined above. These modifications are required to maintain the daily operations of the WwTP; facilitate construction and ensure proper operation of new process in the future. Additionally, the contactor has provided the County with two proposed changes which will save the County money not only in the construction costs but also in future operations and maintenance expenses. Failure to proceed with the proposed changes would result in additional operations/maintenance costs of the upgrade WwTP and prevent construction from occurring as required to meet State regulations. FISCAL IMPACT: There are adequate funds in TRP018 to cover this change order.

Construct a masonry wall with door in solids handling building. 6. Relocate main power duct bank. 7. Sludge removal from oxidation ditch #2 and influent splitter box. Reason for Change: 1. Manhole 2A is where the new plant effluent pipe connect to the existing effluent pipe. The plan label the existing effluent pipe having a 30" diameter, but when exposed the pipe, it was actual a 36" diameter pipe. This required the precast manhole to be cored in order to accommodate the larger pipe. Also the existing effluent pipe was a hallow corrugated PVC pipe that requires a special connection boot. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 011B dated June 9, 2017. Increase the contract amount by $13,082.00 and adds seven (7) calendar days to the contract. 2. The plans call for all tee bolts to be stainless steel. The Contractor setup a temporary bypass between the headworks and oxidation ditches to install new piping. The Contractor started the installation of the new piping and it was discovered that the tee bolts supplied by the vendor were too short and would work. To reorder the required stainless steel tee bolts, it would have taken the vendor 3 weeks to obtain them. In order to keep the project moving forward, the Contractor proposed to utilize standard steel bolts instead of stainless steel and provide the County with a credit for the cost difference. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 013A dated June 19, 2017. Decrease the contract amount by $3,626.00. 3. The plans called for the WAS flow meter to be installed in a vault outside of the building. The Contractor proposed to install the flow meter inside the building thus eliminating the vault which will result in a savings. This change would result in an overall net savings that is to be divided equally between the County and Contractor per the County's General Conditions - Value Engineering Change Proposal section. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 014 dated June 19, 2017. Decrease the contract amount by $2.727.50. •1. The electrical drawing indicated a high float switch was to be installed but the instrumentation scope didn't include the high float switch. The high float switch is necessary thus it had to be added to the instrumentation scope. For more detailed information, please refer to HRI's Letter 015A dated June 19, 2017.

REPORT -IN -BRIEF: To discuss the pending decision by the Washington County Commissioners as to the future home for the Washington County Board of Elections. While we appreciate the efforts involved, the Washington County Board of Elections unanimously opposes moving their entire operation to 101 Tandy Drive, Hagerstown, MD. DISCUSSION: The Washington County Board of Elections would like remain at their current locations; by keeping the main office located at 35 W. Washington Street, Room 101, and the warehouse and storage at its current locations at 101 Tandy Drive; until such a time that a combined location can be agreed upon by both the County Commissioners and the Election Board.

ALTERNATIVES: N/A ATTACHMENTS: N/A AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Open Session Item SUBJECT: Pleasant Valley Livestock LLC Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Easement proposal PRESENTATION DATE: July 25, 2017 PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Dept. of Planning & Zoning RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Pleasant Valley Livestock LLC CREP Easement project, paid for 100% by the State, in the amount of $633,637.86 for 194.39 easement acres and to adopt an ordinance approving the easement purchase and to authorize the execution of the necessary documentation to finalize the easement purchase. REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The Pleasant Valley Livestock LLC property is located at 20103 Orcino Farm Lane, Rohrersville. The CREP easement will protect roughly 54 acres of woodland and 140 acres of crop and hay fields, as well as buffer over 5,000 feet of Little Antietam Creek and its tributaries. The entire parcel will be protected by CREP easement language and the owner will be compensated with a combination of funds from the CREP and Rural Legacy programs. The farm is located north of the historic village of Rohrersville and is surrounded by historic properties and hundreds of acres of permanently preserved land, including other CREP and Rural Legacy easements. All seven (7) development rights will be extinguished with this easement. This project is unique because it is the first time the County has combined these easement programs. Since 2010, Washington County has been funded to purchase CREP easements on 616 acres of land. The main focus of the program is to protect water quality by removing marginal agricultural land from production and replacing it with best management practices including riparian buffers, stabilization of highly erodible soils, and restoration of wetlands. Landowners who currently hold a 15 year CREP contract voluntarily agree to sell a conservation easement in perpetuity. The CREP easement program is administered by the Land Acquisition and Planning Unit of the MD Department of Natural Resources and is funded from Program Open Space funds. The completed recorded easements are held jointly by the County and the DNR. DISCUSSION: For FY 2017, the State of Maryland is awarding CREP grants to eligible properties. The State has also awarded the County $946,610 in its FY 2017 Rural Legacy grant. The Pleasant Valley Livestock LLC CREP Easement uses a portion of those CREP funds and encumbers the remainder of the Rural Legacy grant. Easement applicants are chosen from those who are already enrolled in a 15 year CREP contract. FISCAL IMPACT: CREP and Rural Legacy funds are 100% State dollars, mainly from Program Open Space funds. In addition to the easement funds, we receive up to 3% of the easement value for administrative costs, a mandatory 1.5% for compliance/monitoring costs and funds to cover all of our legal/settlement costs. A survey was needed for this project and the State will pay 100% of the survey cost as well. CONCURRENCES: DNR's CREP Easement staff approves and supports our program. A final money allocation will be approved by the State Board of Public Works on a project -by -project basis. ALTERNATIVES: If Washington County rejects these State funds for CREP, the funds will be allocated to other counties in Maryland.

Griffin, Secretary FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EASEMENTS ON CRP LAND The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Memorandum of Agreement between USDA and the State of Maryland authorizes the continuation of a "voluntary program for the purchase of perpetual easements for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land." The following are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding this type of perpetual conservation easement. What is a perpetual CREP easement? A perpetual CREP easement is a written legal agreement between a landowner and the State of Maryland in which there is an acquired permanent interest in the land to install or maintain conservation practices that protect water quality and natural resources. The easement option is available only to landowners who have an existing federal CREP contract and who have installed the prescribed CREP conservation practice(s). Who administers the CREP easement program in Maryland? Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers the CREP easement program. DNR is also assisted by a number of local government and non -government organization sponsors. A list of contacts with phone numbers is included at the end of this FAQ sheet. Are all landowners who have a current federal CREP contract eligible for a CREP easement? Yes. However, DNR and its sponsors will initially target easement requests from Dorchester, Frederick, Harford, Wicomico, Caroline, Queen Anne's, Somerset, Washington, and Worcester Counties. Why should I consider a CREP easement? A CREP Easement ensures that your decisions about wise use of your land remain unchanged. Easements pass with ownership, so efforts to protect water quality & wildlife habitat continue even if you don't control the land. There also may be tax advantages to an easement. What amount of money can I expect if 1 sell a perpetual easement? Values are determined by an easement valuation system, which takes into account the county where the land is located, the size of the buffers, and the amount of land going into the easement. How many acres can I enroll? Landowners can enroll all the acres they have in a current CREP federal contract. Additionally, they can match these acres on a 1:1 ratio with adjoining lands that contribute to the objectives of protecting water quality and natural resources. What type of adjoining land qualifies for the program's match? Only croplands, marginal pasturelands, and forestlands can be used for the 1:1 match. The matching acreage must be included in either a conservation plan or a forest stewardship plan which must be in effect the date the easement contract is approved or within one year of the date thereof. What restrictions are included in a perpetual easement? Typically, easements prohibit development, commercial or industrial uses, mining, construction of buildings or roads, utilities, and activities on the property that might interfere with the conservalion purposes that are defined in the conservation or forest stewardship plan. Will the public have access to the land under the easement? No. The public will not have access to the easement land. Permission to access land protected by a CREP easement is at the discretion of the landowner. Will the easement restrict use of portions of my property not included in the easement? No. The easement does not restrict use of portions of your property not included in the easement. What are the effects of an easement on a landowner's property rights? A landowner retains all rights to the property not specifically restricted or relinquished by the easement. The landowner still owns the land and has the right to use it for any purpose that is consistent with the easement; the landowner may also sell, transfer, or leave the land through a will. What obligations come with an easement? The landowner remains responsible for the land —for its maintenance and upkeep, for paying taxes, and for otherwise meeting the typical obligations of tandownership. Conservation easements add only a few further requirements: • To notify the easement holder of proposed changes to the property • To allow annual monitoring visits • To notify the easement holder when selling or transferring the property • To comply with the restrictions in the easement In negotiating a CREP easement, can a landowner enroll acres (or use enrolled acres as a match) if those acres are already protected in perpetuity by an existing easement? No. A landowner cannot enroll acres or use acres as a match in a CREP easement if those acres are already protected in an existing easement. What is FSA's role in the easement process? FSA has no role in the application or administration of the CREP Easement Program. FSA refers all inquiries from landowners interested in the easement program to either DNR contacts or appropriate sponsor listed in the attachment. Can the CREP easement be changed or revoked? Not readily— because CREP easements are designed to be permanent, any change is usually accomplished only through Court action.

ORD-2017- AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT UNDER THE MARYLAND CONSERVATION RESERVE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (CREP) (Re: Pleasant Valley Livestock Easement) RECITALS 1. The Maryland Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program ("CREP") is a federal -State natural resources conservation program that addresses state and nationally significant agricultural related environmental concerns related to agriculture. 2. CREP provides financial incentives to program participants to voluntarily remove cropland and marginal pastureland from agricultural production in order to improve, protect, and enhance water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and replacing it with the best management practices including establishment of riparian buffers, grass plantings, forbs, shrubs and trees, stabilization of highly erodible soils, habitat restoration for plant and animal species, and restoration of wetlands. 3. Protection is provided through the acquisition of easements and fee estates from willing landowners currently holding a fifteen (15) year CREP contract and the supporting activities of CREP Sponsors and local governments. 4. For FY2017, the State of Maryland ("State") awarded CREP grants to eligible Counties (the "CREP Funds"), and for FY2017, the County was awarded a grant under the Maryland Rural Legacy Program ("RLP") (the "RLP Funds"). 5. Pleasant Valley Livestock, LLC is the owner of real property consisting of 194.39 acres, more or less, (the "Property") in Washington County, Maryland. The Property is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. 6. The County has agreed to pay the approximate sum of Six Hundred Thirty -Three Thousand Six Hundred Thirty -Seven Dollars and Eighty -Six Cents ($633,637.86), which is a portion of the CREP Funds and the RLP Funds, to the Property Owner for a Deed of Conservation Easement on the Property (the "Pleasant Valley Livestock Easement").

By downloading the free app, consumers can stay up-to-date on agricultural related events, explore local farms, know what is in season and where to buy. The Agritourism app assists customers in buying local; this not only keeps money in the local economy, it takes the guesswork out of knowing your food's source. Some of the apps features are: • Comprehensive Farm Guide: The guide, based off the printed bi-annual publication, will let users know when farms are open to the public as well as location, products and events. • Favorites: The user can create a personalized list of favorite farms. • Find a Farmers Market: Consumers can discover what farmers markets are closest to them and their hours of operation. • What's in Season: This calendar provides a list of fruits and vegetables grown in Washington County and when they're in season. • Events Calendar: This continuously updated feature provides a list of ag-related events ranging from Ag Expo Events to what's in season to corn mazes. The app is available on both Apple and Android devices.

REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The Federal Aviation Administration is requiring the airport to conduct a complete update of the existing Airport Layout Plan before any future development may occur. This update is estimated to be $400,000. In 2016, the airport received approval from the County Commissioners to proceed with demolition of the Grove Farm located on airport property. This demolition requires archeological and architectural recordation as well as witnessed demolition of the structures on the property. The estimated cost for this project is $600,000. Funding for both projects will be moved from existing FY2018 projects that will not occur in the fiscal year. DISCUSSION: FISCAL IMPACT: FAA grants are anticipated for both of these projects with 90% reimbursement. State reimbursement will be 5% and County share will be 5%. There will be no impact to current year CIP as no additional funding is being requested.
