Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding Meritus Medical Center, Inc and Board
of Education of Washington County Real Property Conveyance.
PRESENTATION DATE: June 6, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Todd Moser, Real Property Administrator, Division of Engineering
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the County’s participation in the MOU with Meritus
Medical Center, Inc (Meritus) and Washington County Board of Education (BOE) concerning the
property consisting of +/- 28.04 acres located on the Northeast Side of Mount Aetna Road, to accept the
transfer of property from the BOE, to adopt the ordinance declaring the property as Surplus, to approve
the conveyance of the same, and to authorize the execution of the necessary documentation to finalize the
conveyance for $2,700,000.00. The intent to convey the property will be duly advertised.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The BOE has determined land behind Children’s Village consisting of
approximately 28.04 +/- acres to be surplus property and unsuitable for construction of an elementary
school and unnecessary for the continued operation of Children’s Village. Meritus has agreed to acquire
the surplus property to accommodate student housing for the Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine for
$2.7 million. The Property was appraised by Bowers Appraisal Services, LLC in November 2022.
DISCUSSION: The agreement includes a 10-year first right of refusal for Meritus to purchase the
approximate 3.2 acres Children’s Village Property for $304,000.00; however, BOE has stated that it has
no intention of selling or relocating Children’s Village. The right of first refusal shall also provide that if
at any time after the 10-year period the BOE determines the 3.2 acres to be surplus, the property will be
offered to Meritus at the current fair market value.
BOE cannot, by law, convey any property to any entity other than the local government, and therefore,
the County must approve and accept the conveyance of property from BOE, convey the property, and be a
party to the MOU. The County will contribute the $2.7 million to the County’s Capital Reserve Fund for
BOE’S use, in its sole discretion, to acquire land for new school construction, for school building
construction, or renovation projects. The State of Maryland must also approve the proposed disposal of
surplus property.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: On July 12, 2022, the Board originally awarded a contract for the Mattress

document the renewal request cannot exceed three percent (3%). The service consists of the
vendor supplying containers and transporting the mattress from the 40 West Landfill.
The contract is for a one (1) year period that commenced on July 1, 2022, with an option by the
County to renew for up to two (2) additional consecutive one (1) year periods, subject to written
notice given by the County at least sixty (60) calendar days in advance of its expiration date. The
County does not guarantee neither a maximum/minimum number of transports from the 40 West
Landfill under this contract.

Project Justification and Economic Benefit/Impact to the Visitor Industry, if Applicable
Maryland Symphony Orchestra's annual "Salute to Independence,' presented in partnership with Hagerstown Community
lege, is a project which meets all 7 priority funding goals of Washington County's Hotel Rental Tax Fund. In recent years the
Jerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau has conservatively estimated the "Salute's" direct local economic
)act at $500,000. Drawing as many as 30,000 area residents, tourists, and elected officials to the event, the national arts advocacy
anization, American's for the Arts, estimates the combined direct and indirect economic impact of the "Salute" atjust over $1.1
lion. This year's event, held at Hagerstown Community college, is estimated to bring 5,000 attendees as the MSO awaits a final
ermination on returning to Antietam National Battlefield after construction is completed on the sites Visitors Center. This event
ited spending sustains jobs, and generates revenues for local and state government, as well as for local and regional businesses,
anizations and vendors.
Anticipated Visitor Attendance and Impact on Hotel Rental Occupancy, if Applicable
ally, the "Salute" draws as many as 30,000 attendees to Antietam National Battlefield each July from communities throughout
and Western Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, and the Panhandle of West Virginia. Surveys indicate
ent of the attendees come from more than 50-miles away. According to statistics from the Hagerstown -Washington County
tion and Visitors Bureau (CVB), Washington County's hotel occupancy rate in July is around 75-percent. On "Salute to
idence" event weekends, that rate jumps to higher than 90-percent, with many hotels completely selling out. CVB leadership has
ed that increase being largely due to "Salute" attendees. This years estimated attendance is 5,000 as the MSO awaits a final
nation on returning to Antietam National Battlefield after construction is completed on the sites Visitors Center.
Narrative Description of Project: Include purpose of project, outline of project procedures, intended results of project or any additional
comments that support the need for project and/or merit as an event or activity designed to promote Washington County, Maryland.
The purpose of the project is to produce the Maryland Symphony Orchestra's "Salute to Independence" at Hagerstown Community
College on Saturday, July 1, 2023. The "Salute to Independence" is a one -day event, held on the first weekend of July. The "Salutes a
celebration of our nation's independence through a concert of patriotic music performed by Washington County's and Western
Maryland's only fully -professional orchestra. Historically, it's reach makes it the largest cultural, historical, and summer tourism event in
Washington County each year. As was so eloquently stated in a Herald -Mail Editorial: "The value of the concert cannot be overestimated,
It mixes tourism and the local community; history and entertainment; patriotism and reverence; culture and fireworks." For 36 years, this
extraordinary concert has been held for the Washington County community and beyond. As a result of the project's longevity, the "
Salute" is viewed as part of the historical and cultural fabric of Washington County. Attendees of the event expect to return year after
year to participate in this celebration of America's freedom and to remember those who have served our nation through military service
in the past -as well as the men and women who do so today. The "Salute" features the 70-member, fully professional, Maryland
Symphony Orchestra in a concert of patriotic music led by Music Director Elizabeth Schulze who is currently in her 23rd season with the
orchestra. The "Salute's" program this July will include the "Armed Forces Salute", "American Salute," and the "Stars and Stripes Forever"
among other patriotic classics. The event will conclude with a spectacular 25-minute grand finale fireworks display. Bringing a
70-member orchestra and its equipment to perform at an outdoor venue is an expensive venture. The "Salute" requires staging, lighting,
and an extensive sound and public address system, including portable back-up electric generators. The MSO pays for musicians, sound
and public address system, generators and wiring, port a -potties, backstage and field tents, and of course, the fireworks. Other expenses
include event insurance, rentals, music arrangement rentals and purchases, various fees, licenses and royalties including the fireworks
permit, cartage fees for instruments, mileage per diem to musicians to Hagerstown and extra stagehands along with part-time
production personnel to help with the set-up and take -down of chairs, music stands and other equipment along with additional
assistance from Washington County Sheriffs Deputies. The direct expense budget for the 2023 "Salute to Independence" totals $92,500.
Currently, the MSO has secured $51,000 toward the cash resources necessary to meet the direct and administrative expenses involved to
produce this July's "Salute." This includes corporate sponsorships, grants from area foundations, contributions from small businesses,
and donations from individuals. The MSO requests the committee to consider a $30,000 grant from the Hotel Rental Tax Fund of
Washington County, MD. This request, representing an investment of staffing a percentage of the 70 piece orchestra and 5 Washington
County Sheriffs Deputies for the July 1 st, 2023 "Salute" event.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: National Dairy Month is celebrated every June. As one of Maryland’s largest
agricultural commodities, milk and dairy products account for $150.5 million in farm receipts. (2020
data from USDA Economic Research Service) National Dairy month celebrates the value of milk and
dairy products as part of a well-balanced diet for every American as well as the importance of milk
production to the agricultural industry. All Washington County residents are encouraged to support
our 103 county dairy farms and farmers whose labor brings us milk, ice cream, yogurt, cheese and
many other nutritious foods. Especially Ice Cream!
DISCUSSION: Washington County is excited to launch the third annual Washington County Ice
Cream Trail. The Ice Cream Trail includes eleven locally owned and operated businesses.
By participating in the Ice Cream Trail, you are supporting local businesses and local dairy farms.
By supporting small businesses and agriculture, you’re also supporting the growth and
economy of Washington County. As of June 6, 2023, the Ice Cream Trail map will be available
in all eleven local participating ice cream establishments and can be downloaded from the
Washington County website. Once you have visited the eleven Ice Cream Trail establishments and
your map has been stamped by each location, submit the map to the Washington County Public
Relations and Marketing Department at https://www.washco-md.net/ice-cream-trail-2023/ or by
mail. All participants who complete the trail and submit the completed map will be entered into a
raffle for prizes from our locally owned ice cream shops and Ice Cream Trail sponsors.
