Jonathan Horowitz, Director of Business and Economic Development, provided an update on project
water exception request which was granted by the previous Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in
September 2022. The City of Hagerstown has requested a consensus of the BOCC to convey a water
agreement that was issued to the Bowen's at the property located at 14375 Breeze Hill Drive, North of the
Airport. The property has been purchased by Watsontown Trucking Patton Logistics. They are looking
to develop a trucking terminal, The initial water agreement from the city was issued to the Bowen family
and will be bringing the conveyance before the Mayor and City Council and they are requesting a letter
from the BOCC. Mr. Horowitz does not have access to the trucking safety report, Mr. Hobbs office
should have that information. Timeline the Bowen family has until December 27, 2023, to develop the
property and the prior approvals convey to the property owners. There were no previous extensions.
Commissioner discussion this is an urgent item, the land was pmchased with the consensus which was
previously given by a board of commissioners. Questions regarding the trucking terminal and concerns
regarding the on/off ramps flow, traffic study, safety ofl-81 and request for more information on the truck
traffic generated. Timeline of events, extensions requested. The ask today is to accept the change of the

Commissioner consensus to agree to the change of the name of the property owner for the prior water
exception consensus only. Consensus received 3 -I. Commissioner Keefer did not consent.
Michelle Gordon, County Administrator presented a request for a statement of intent to the Maryland
Association of Counties (MACO) Maryland Time to Care Act (TCA) family leave collaborative which
requires all employers to provide up to 12 week of paid benefits to covered individuals who are taking
leave from employment to care for certain family members with the individual having a serious health
condition or qualifying as an exigency arising out of a family members militmy deployment. The weekly
benefit is based on the employee's average weekly wage. Employees are not required to use their leave
for this benefit. Required contributions of the program are shared between employers and employees are
based on employee wages. An employer may satisfy the TCA requirement through an equivalent private
insurance program (EPIP). An employer that provides covered employees with an EPIP, those covered
employees are exempt from the TCA required contributions that are required to begin on October 1, 2024.
Benefits of for employees are required to begin on January 1, 2026. By opting in on the collaborative
costs for employees and the County would be deferred from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2026. The
Mmyland Association of Board of Education and MACO have agreed to establish a TCA collaborative to
facilitate the procurement ofTCA benefits and reduced costs to local governments. If Washington County
plans on joining the collaborative they would like an answer by October 1, 2023, and the statement of
intent would need to be submitted by October 1,2023, so they can begin data collection for the RFP which
is expected to take about a year. The unbudgeted cost for joining the collaborative will be $10,000.00.
Commissioner consensus provided for the letter of statement of intent. Consensus received 4-0.
The matter will come back before the Commissioners for final approval.
Michelle Gordon, County Administrator presented the Office of Budget and Finance have prepared fiscal

the excess of revenue over expenditures in FY23. The final financial statements will be presented on the
Page 3 of 9
OPEN Session, September 26, 2023
agenda on November 28th due to scheduling conflicts with an independent auditor. Total revenue at the
end of FY23 was budgeted at 288.1 million; actual was 301.9 million, revenue came in at about 13.8
million over budget which is about 5% well within the perimeters established by GFOA as an acceptable
amount. The overages were primarily a result of corporate personal property tax, income tax and
recordation tax over budget which was offset by revenues coming in underbudget for grant revenues and
charges for services and actual interest income due to the federal reserve interest rate increases for the last
fiscal year. In addition to the revenues that came in over budget we had expenditures that came in under
budget. The main reason is departments who did not provide for inflation have deferred their expenditures
until the next fiscal year. The total excess of revenue over expenditures for FY23 is approximately 25
million dollars. As revenues increase the required cash reserves should typically adjust however we have
seen a significant amount of revenue decrease in fiscal year 2023. There was a significant decrease in
grant revenue in FY23. There was a significant increase in grant revenue in FY22 and FY21 due to the
Cares Act and Arbor grant funding. The estimated cash reserve for FY23 is expected to remain the same.
The estimated cash reserves should be about 50 million. our cash reserves are about 68 million for about
23%. Our required cash reserve is 16.67% with our goal being between 20% and 25%. We request a
Commission consensus to allocate the 25 million with the recommendation to allocate 5 million to the
pension fund for FY23 to increase our funded status. The funded status is under 70%, the average for
government agencies across the nation is over 80% we are well below the national average. Ms. Gordon
suggests the other 20 million be transfened to our CIP fund to reserve for capital projects that are
experiencing significant amounts of inflation. The Sheriff's office detention center renovation and
restoration replacement project is 20 to 30 million over what was originally anticipated and their other
unbudgeted costs related to potential building replacement related to the comihouse and other buildings
and facilities in the county.
Commissioner discussion for time to review the expenditures. Costs of expenditures in FY24.
Considerations of underfunded pension fund plan, debt, school problems and roads.
Request to put this on the agenda when President Barr is available before a consensus and for citizens
comments. This will be brought back as an agenda item when all five commissioners are present.
