Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Reinhart Rural Legacy Program (RLP) Easement
PRESENTATION DATE: March 7, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Rural Preservation Administrator, Dept. of Planning & Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Estate of James Reinhart RLP Easement project, in the
amount of $1,000,000.00 for 267.138 easement acres, paid for 100% by the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources, 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 Reinhart property is located at 17218 Shepherdstown Pike, Sharpsburg, and the
easement will serve to permanently preserve a valuable agricultural, scenic, environmental and historic property
in the County. The parcel contains both ag and woodland areas. It lies in a part of Washington County that was
heavily trafficked during the Civil War and the Battle of Antietam. The property lies along historic
Shepherdstown Pike and is contiguous to several sites on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Places. The
Potomac River and C&O Canal run along the northwestern property boundary where there is also a Federal
Scenic Easement.
The parcel adds on to a block of thousands of acres of contiguous preserved farmland around Antietam
Battlefield. Twelve (12) development rights will be extinguished with this easement.
DISCUSSION: Since 1998, Washington County has been awarded more than $27 million to purchase Rural
Legacy easements on more than 8,400 acres near Antietam Battlefield in the Rural Legacy Area. RLP is a sister
program to the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program (MALPP) and includes the protection of
environmental and historic features in addition to agricultural parameters. RLP uses an easement valuation
system (points) to establish easement value rather than appraisals used by MALPP. For FY 2023, Washington
County was awarded RLP grants totaling $1,550,000. The Reinhart RLP Easement will use part those funds.
Easement applicants were previously ranked based on four main categories: the number of development rights
available, the quality of the land/land management (agricultural component), natural resources (environmental),
and the historic value.
FISCAL IMPACT: RLP funds are 100% State dollars, mainly from DNR 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.
CONCURRENCES: Both the State RLP Board and the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff
have approved and support our program. A final money allocation will be approved by the State Board of Public
Works.
ALTERNATIVES: If Washington County rejects State funds for RLP, the funds will be allocated to other
counties in Maryland.

SUBJECT: Contract Award (PUR-1481 Task Order 15) – Washington County Agriculture
Education Center Indoor Multipurpose Building and Event Parking
PRESENTATION DATE: March 7, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Rick F. Curry, CPPO, Director, Purchasing Department; Andrew
Eshleman, P.E., Director, Division of Public Works
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the contract for the Agriculture Education Center
Indoor Multipurpose Building and Event Parking project to the lowest responsible, responsive
bidder, L.S. Grim Consulting Engineers, LLC of Hagerstown, MD who submitted the total lump
sum bid in the amount of $991,954 for Task No. 1 and Task No. 2.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The work to be performed under this project includes but is not limited to
professional design and construction administration services for a new approximately 45,000
square foot multipurpose building capable of hosting various special events, recreational activities,
and serving as an emergency response staging and storage facility as needed. The work includes
site development design to expand the onsite event parking, creation of a secondary egress onto
Keedysville Road, stormwater management, forest conservation, onsite water and sewer facility
design, permitting, and construction phase services.
The request for design services was solicited to the five consultant teams under the County’s
Contract PUR-1481 Facility Design Services. Five (5) bids were submitted as indicated on the
attached bid tabulation matrix. The apparent low bidder was deemed non-responsive due to a
calculation error and withdrew their bid.
DISCUSSION: The Agriculture Education Center hosts over 55 facility rentals per year totaling
over 90,000 attendees, however indoor rental space is at premium with only one indoor non-
sprinklered building that is limited to a 300-person common area gathering capacity. The building
will allow more year-round use and future zoned facility rental that will more fully utilize the
Center. There is also substantial demand for community recreational facilities and a shortage in
Southern Washington County. The building can be used as an emergency response staging and
storage facility and provide general County utility use as needed.
The project includes Task 1 to evaluate the site’s water and sewer capacity which may control the
building size or capacity, and Task 2 all remaining work. The project assumes State funding and
therefore, will be designed to LEED Silver standards. As part of the LEED design and building
systems' commissioning process a third-party representative directly contracted with the County
will be proposed in addition to these design services.

PRESENTATION DATE: Tuesday, March 7, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Leslie Hart , Business Development Specialist, Agriculture, Hospitality and
Tourism, Department of Business Development
RECOMMENDED MOTION: N/A
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: “Faces of Farming” is an agricultural-focused video marketing campaign that
premiers two local Washington County farms every month, for one year. The “Faces of Farming”
marketing videos will be showcased on the County’s website, as well as Facebook and other social
media platforms, and will target a new industry and highlight a local farmer from that specific
agricultural industry.
DISCUSSION: Washington County’s agricultural business represents the backbone of the County’s
landscape. With over 900 operating family farms and $153,725,000 in market value of products sold,
agriculture is the largest economic driver in Washington County. The “Faces of Farming” marketing
campaign aims to educate residents in Washington County, along with the surrounding States and
Counties, about the economic impact of the Ag industry. Additionally, these videos will be used for
agricultural education to numerous streams around Washington County, such as, 4-H and FFA (Future
Farmers of America) meetings, Ag Expo and Fair, and will be available on the Washington County Ag
App and website.

SUBJECT: Washington County Commission on Aging FY 2024 Budget Presentation
PRESENTATION DATE: March 7, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Amy Olack, CEO, Ed Lough, President & Tim Delbrugge, Vice
President
RECOMMENDED MOTION: N/A.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Washington County Commission on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) is
requesting an 86% increase of its current line-item allocation to meet the demand for support
programs and services for seniors, those with disabilities regardless of age, and caregivers in
Washington County.
DISCUSSION: In accordance with the Older American’s Act, the Washington County
Commission on Aging (WCCOA) is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Washington
County. The WCCOA provided programs and services to seniors, caregivers and those with
disability regardless of age. For the WCCOA it is more than a requirement, it is a pleasure to
partner with the County Commissioners in this valuable effort to serve and provide for those that
need it most.
During fiscal year 23, your investment in the WCCOA resulted in a 55% return on investment,
bringing 1.5 million dollars back into the local economy. Moreover, with the help of County
funds, we were able to access and receive over 1 million dollars in additional funding from
sources outside the county.
As you know, we are serving the fastest growing segment of our population, persons 60 and
older. Currently, over 700 residents are on waiting lists for services. We are unable to meet the
demand for necessary services. This demand is not forecasted to diminish for over a decade.
Even with the 86% request for additional funds, we will need to utilize net assets (our savings
account) to sustain the current programs and services. It is critical to develop a plan to respond
to the need of our rapidly growing senior population and provide them with basic programs and
services. Without your support, we will be making difficult decisions on where to decrease
services and increase waitlists. Your continued support is essential for us to meet these demands
and serve seniors, those with disabilities regardless of age, and caregivers.
