Dear Board of County Commissioners:
We would like to request to be included on the list of organizations eligible for funding. We are a local
501(c)3 non profit serving homeless families in Washington County. The shelter welcomed its first family
in April of 1987 and has been helping families get back on their feet ever since. We provide a three
room apartment for 60 - 90 days.
Enclosed are several articles and information explaining what we do and who we help.
We rely mainly on grants to support our operating expenses on a budget of less than $ 30,000 per year.

Than you for your consideration and we would be glad to provide any additional information that you
woul like.

St. John's Shelter — A Mission of Outreach
' helter, an outreach program serving homeless families in Washington County is now
St. John's S p g
32 years old. It continues to reach out to the extended community by providing an important
social service in a manner that is financially responsible and that effectively promotes a Christian
vision.
In 1985 under the leadership o f the then rector, Reverend Canon John Diehl and parishioner
• p ' had a capital campaign
Jo ce Chabot, a past president of the Shelter, St. Johns Episcopal Parish p
Y p
r 150 000. One third of the total was earmarked for an unspecified outreach
that raised more than $ project. appointed A committee was a ointed to determine what that project was to be. Wisely the
committee sought outside advice in determining a pressing community .social need that would be
wi
thin the financial and volunteer resources of the parish to provide. Having served on that
rS' committee, I well remember that everyone was astonished to learn that there were then about 500
homeless people in Washington Count and of that number a considerable portion were families.
gt Y
We also learned that there was no shelter in Washington County that housed intact homeless
families ----- fathers, mothers and children.
As the committee evaluated the competing proposals, it became evident that providing a shelter
for homeless families would fulfill a vital community need and provide that need within the
budget and volunteer resources of the parish. The committee unanimously agreed to start a
homeless shelter. St. John's Shelter was then incorporated in February of 1986.
The first order of business was finding a suitable building to begin our operations. After some
searching, the committee found a three -apartment building on Randolph Avenue in the
n area of Hagerstown. The building was located across the street from the then social
downtown g services office of the Washington County Council of Churches and within a short walking
distance to the Washington County Social Services office. The price was within our means to
afford, so the building was purchased.
The committee at first considered making a down payment on the property and holding a
mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. However, some astute members suggested that
• p purchase the
the ro erty be purchased outright. With the funds that were available, we could pu
• p • p p remaining too operate
building, allocate funds to do the necessary renovations and have enough rema g p
g
for about a year. We did just that. It was a very wise decision. Never did we have to worry
about a
meetingmortgage payment and or having our building repossessed. Even in the worst of
circumstances s sell our unencumbered property and return to the parish most, if
s we could always
not all, of the money given to us.
After some renovations mostly to upgrade the electrical system and provide a new furnace, St.
John's Shelter was ready to begin housing homeless families.
Page One
Almost con
current with the search for a suitable building, a search was initiated to find a
1 a caretaker couple, whose responsibilities would be to care for the building
caretaker, preferably
and provide the basic needs for the client families. A couple able to relate well with the client
families a p p
and maintain a disciplined operation was hired. In return for their services, the
p
caretakers were given an apartment and utilities free of cost to them, an arrangement that we still
maintain with the caretakers.
p
Now we had a three -apartment building with caretakers occupying one apartment and two
apartments available for homeless families. We were ready for business and on April 15, 1987
our first homeless family moved in.
In 1996 w an o
e had opportunity to purchase the property adjoining our original building. 1 hat
pp Y
property was purchased and renovated from a single-family dwelling into a handicapped
accessible, three apartment shelter facility. The majority of the costs were paid utilizing
p
acc �
government and private grant money with the net encumbrance to Shelter being a $109 monthly
mortgage payment. [This mortgage encumbrance was fully paid off in February of 2019.] Now
five apartments were available for homeless families. In 2007 the original facility was
completely 1 refurbished and abated of lead paint with most of the costs paid with Community
Development Block Grant funds.
first family came to us in April of 1987, we have provided shelter for approximately
Since our fir y p
640 fame 'lies. Because the Shelter is a mostly volunteer organization with no large fixed
1 expenses, the total provided bed -night cost in 2018 was $5.16, almost certainly the
personnel p
low g y a
lowest bed -night cost b large margin of any homeless shelter in Maryland. In 2018, 20

The she program shelter ro has true been blessed. We have endeavored to be true and faithful
Y
servants in providing an outreach ministry of caring and compassionate help to those
Christian p g
our community in need of shelter. In so doing it is our belief that we have served
families of Y
well tha
t admonition of St Francis of Assisi to at all times preach the Gospel, using words only
p
as necessary.
It is our hope that we will be able to fulfill that prescription of Christian outreach
for many more years to come.
We believe that stewardship is everything you do after you say "I believe"

Purpose of Organization
St. John's Shelter for Homeless Families provides safe, decent shelter to families during their most
vulnerable times. Most of the families who come to us have recently been evicted and are living in their
car or staying at one of the other shelters in town with the family being broken apart. Some are paying
hundred of dollars a week to stay in one of the local motels just to have heat, running water, and a
break from the elements with the parents and children all together. Often, the only reason these
people are living elsewhere is because of a car repair that far exceeded their monthly income or a loss of
job. Perhaps a person has become sick and unable to work and simply has fallen behind and cannot get
caught back up. St. John's Shelter provides the opportunity for the family to be together under one roof
while living for 60 - 90 days rent free. Sometimes this is all they need, a chance to be able to save up for
a security deposit and first month rent. We also provide nonperishable food to supplement their food
budget. A Case Manager to guide them on local resources available and what the first step towards
rebuilding their future is also available.
In 2018 some sources of government funding requirements were changed and St. John's Board of
Directors opted out of a program and lost several thousands of dollars. The reasoning was that we
would no longer have control over who came into our shelter. We have always run background checks
and did not allow with serious criminal records that may:e.ndenger the children and other
people
resident's safety to stay with us. While we are big believers that people deserve second chances, first
and foremost our commitment to the safety of those staying with us is our number one concern.
We thank you for your consideration and hope you will keep our shelter in mind when distributing your
funds.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Application for Water and Sewer Plan Amendment
WS-22-001
PRESENTATION DATE: August 30, 2022 10:45am
PRESENTATION BY: Jill Baker, Director, Department of Planning and Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: The purpose of this public hearing is to take public comment
on the water and sewer plan amendment application. The Commissioners have the option to draw
a consensus to either approve or deny the request after the public hearing closes or deliberate on
the issue at a later date.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Application has been made by Jacob Burtner, owner/trustee of land
located at 39 Mt. Hebron Road, Keedysville, to amend the Washington County Water and
Sewerage Plan. The purpose of the amendment is to extend existing sewer service to the Burtner
farm to build a single-family dwelling for an immediate family member. Currently the parcel is split
by the municipal boundary of the Town of Keedysville. Therefore, the sewer service area
boundary is also split to mimic the Town boundary. A portion of the property is designated as S-
1 (Existing Service) while the other portion is designated at S-7 (No Planned Service). The
applicant is requesting to expand the sewer service designation of S-3 (Programmed Service) to
the entire property in order to accommodate the construction of one dwelling unit for an immediate
family member. The Planning Commission held a public input meeting on August 2, 2022, for
the purpose of taking public comment on the request. No comments, either written or verbal, have
been received for this application. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
request provided that 1) the designation placed on the property be S-3 restricted and 2) the number
of new taps be limited to the number of development rights granted by MD Department of Natural
Resources as part of the approved and recorded Rural Legacy Easement.
DISCUSSION: In accordance with Maryland law, each County is required to prepare, adopt and
maintain a Water and Sewerage Plan to demonstrate that safe and adequate facilities can and will
be provided to support growth and development. Washington County, in cooperation with all
other utility providers last adopted a Water and Sewerage Plan in 2011 that forecasted short- and
long-term water and wastewater facility needs over a 10-year period. On occasion, amendments
to the document may be necessary to update information regarding new water/sewerage facilities,
changes in the type, size or capacity of existing facilities, changes in the priority classification for
service, or changes to the boundaries of existing service areas.

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO THE
WASHINGTON COUNTY WATER AND SEWERAGE PLAN
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Washington County Planning Commission held a public input meeting on Monday, August 1, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.
to consider a proposed amendment to the Washington County Water and Sewerage Plan. The application was
submitted by Jacob Burtner for property located at 39 Mt. Hebron Road in Keedysville. The request is to expand the
priority sewerage service area boundary for the Town of Keedysville to include all of the Burtner property. Currently,
a portion of the property is located within the municipal boundary of the Town of Keedysville while the remainder of
the farm has been permanently preserved from future development through the Rural Legacy land preservation
program.
With regard to the Water and Sewerage Plan, the Burtner property has a split designation that correlates with the
municipal boundary split. The portion of the property located with municipal limits has a service area designation of
S-1 (existing service) restricted. The remainder of the property has a designation of S-7 (no planned service). The
amendment request proposes to change the sewer service area designation for the portion of land outside of the
municipal boundary to an S-3 (Programmed Service) service designation.
The reason for this request is due to the property's location within the Boonsboro wellhead protection area. The
Boonsboro/Keedysville Regional Water System obtains its water supply from two springs (Warrenfeltz and
Keedysville Spring) and two wells (Graystone Well 8 and Shafer Park Well) outside of Town limits. The wellhead
protection area was delineated around these water resources through Source Water Assessments completed by the
Maryland Department of Environment in 2005. As shown in the original application, the, proposed location of the new
dwelling unit would be located within the defined wellhead protection area. Since the primary goal of the wellhead
protection area is to limit additional sources of contamination, the Health Department recommended to Mr. Burtner
that hooking up to the nearby public sewer system would be the best practice available for his development.
Following the public input meeting, the Planning Commission took action to recommend, to the Board of County
Commissioners, approval of the amendment as presented as well as approval for the existing farmhouse and any
additional dwellings to be provided public sewer hookups. Staff was charged with verifying the number of develop-
ment rights on the property, which is as follows: one (1) primary residence (already existing) and one (1) accessory
residence (which is now being proposed).

Application for Map Amendment
Washington County Water and Sewerage Plan
Staff Report and Analysis
Introduction
In accordance with Maryland law, each County is required to prepare, adopt and maintain a
Water and Sewerage Plan to demonstrate that safe and adequate facilities can and will be provided to
support growth and development. Washington County, in cooperation with all other utility providers,
last adopted a Water and Sewerage Plan in 2011 that forecasted short and long term water and
wastewater facility needs over a 10 year period. On occasion, amendments to the document may be
necessary to update information regarding new water/sewerage facilities, changes in the type, size or
capacity of existing facilities, changes in the priority classification for service, or changes to the
boundaries of existing service areas. In this specific case, the applicant, Jacob Burtner, is requesting
to expand the boundaries of the sewer service areas around the Town ofKeedysville to include property
owned by his family.
Background
The subject property consists of approximately 109
acres of varying topography. Most of the property is
gently sloping and used for crop and grazing
agriculture. A branch of the Little Antietam Creek
flows along the southern portion of the property. There
appear to be areas of steep slope associated with the
stream on both sides of the bank out to the property
entrance onto Mt. Hebron Road. There is a 100 year
floodplain associated with the stream that runs the
length of the southern portion of the property.
There is an existing dwelling and numerous
agricultural accessory structures located to the west
side of the property near its boundary with Mt. Hebron
Road.

Keedysville (See Map 1). This property has also been permanently preserved by the County through
purchase of development rights under the Rural Legacy Program. The existing sewer service areas
boundary (S-1) currently stops at the Buttner property because no sewer service facilities exist on the
site.
Analysis
This property's location both partially within a municipality and within the County Rural Legacy Area
and Preservation zoning presents a juxtaposition of land development policies. The portion of the
property that is located within the municipal limits of the Town of Keedysville has existed since the
Town was first incorporated in 1872. Incorporated limits of the Town were measured to the north and
south of Main Street Keedysville 1500 feet to each side to determine the width of the boundary.
Therefore, only a portion of the Buttner property is within the incorporated limits of the Town.
Keedysville's historic significance related to its proximity and relevance to the Antietam Battlefield
have also promoted continuing preservation policies for this area related to historic structures and land
development. In 1997, the State of Maryland began a permanent land preservation program known as
Rural Legacy. Several areas across the State were designated as Rural Legacy areas and made
properties within those areas eligible for permanent land preservation easements. Washington County
chose land areas that surround the Antietam National Battlefield to enhance the preservation of the
historic context of the battlefield. The Buttner farm is included within this area.
According to the Town of Keedysville's adopted Comprehensive Plan, the area including the Burtner
farm is intended to stay rural/agricultural and is not targeted for future annexation/development.
Similarly, the County Comprehensive Plan shows the portion of the Buttner farm under County
jurisdiction within the Preservation land use policy area. The purpose of the Preservation policy area
is to limit development in order to support preserving the resources in the area.
In addition to land development policies that impact the subject property, the farm is also located within
the Boonsboro wellhead protection area. This area has been established by the Town of Boonsboro as
an area of high sensitivity to developmental impacts on water quality and recharge. One of the
recommendations from the Town of Boonsboro to help protect groundwater resources is to limit
establishment of new on -site sewage disposal systems within the area.
The purpose of this amendment is to extend existing sewer service to the Burtner farm to build a single-
family dwelling for an immediate family member. While the farm has sold a permanent land
preservation easement to the State, the farm retained 3 development rights to build single family homes
for immediate family members on the property. This limitation is consistent with both the County and
Town Comprehensive Plans. By extending public sewer service to this property, it would also be
consistent with the Town of Boonsboro wellhead protection area policies.
Currently, the Town of Keedysville priority service area is S-1 (Existing Service) Restricted.
Therefore, the portion of the subject property that is located within the municipal limits of the Town is
designated as such. The applicant is requesting to expand the Keedysville service area to the entirety
of the property with application of an S-3 Planned Sewer Service designation.
The requested amendment was sent to the Division of Water Quality and the County Health
Department for review and comment. The Division of Water Quality commented that they are in
agreement with the proposed amendment with the conditions that 1) the priority designation is labeled
as restricted use and 2) the extension would be limited to one new dwelling on the property. The
County Health Department also submitted comments that state that the existing dwelling on the subject
parcel should also connect to public water and sewer.
In accordance with Appendix B of the County Water and Sewerage Plan, amendments to the Plan
require certain points of data to be included in the application that justify the proposed changes. A
copy of the required data along with the applicant's responses are attached to this report as Applicant's
Exhibit A.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends conditional approval of this amendment based on the following findings:
1. The requested amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted
Comprehensive Plans for the Town of Keedysville and Washington County.
2. The requested amendment is consistent with, and advances the goals of, the
Boonsboro wellhead protection area policies.
The proposal to expand the Keedysville priority service area is based upon
documented water quality goals and objectives and does not seek to exploit the
opportunity for development outside of the anticipated growth scenarios.
4. The requested amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted
Water and Sewerage Plan for the County.
Conditions of this approval should include:
The priority service area designation given to the subject parcel should be S-3
(Planned Service) Restricted.
2. The expanded service should only be permitted for the addition of one new single
family dwelling unit on the subject parcel for the benefit of an immediate family
member.

●MDP comments on the amendment are as follows:
o Regarding the Keedysville 2009 Comprehensive Plan (Keedysville Comp Plan), the
amendment appears to be inconsistent because the subject property is not included as a
growth area on the “Potential Annexation Areas” map on pg. MG-23 of the Keedysville
Comp Plan
o The amendment appears to be generally consistent with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan

Subject: Washington County DRAFT WS-22-001 Sharpsburg WWTP
Dear Ms. Dalmasy:
The Maryland Department of Planning (Planning) reviewed the above-referenced water and sewerage
plan amendment pursuant to our mandate to advise the Maryland Department of the Environment
(Environment) on local comprehensive plan consistency and other appropriate matters as required by
Environment Article Section 9-507 (b)(2).
Summary of Amendment
This amendment proposes to change the future sewer classification for Tax Map 73, Parcel 73 from S-7
[No Planned Service] to S-3 Priority [Programed Service] in the “Sewerage Service for the Boonsboro,
Keedysville and Sharpsburg Areas Map” in the Water and Sewer Washington County 2009 Update
(WSP). The amendment would facilitate the construction of one new residential unit. The service area
boundaries, and their sewer planning priority classifications, are detailed in the section below.
This parcel is mostly outside of the town limits and is designated a “Preservation Policy Area” in the
county comprehensive plan. This map amendment would change the sewer service classification for the
above-referenced property in Appendix H, Priority Sewer Service Area Maps of the WSP. Planning notes
that, based on the “Sewerage Service for the Boonsboro, Keedysville and Sharpsburg Areas Map” in
Appendix H, the rest of the area in and around the Town of Keedysville is designated S-3 Restricted Use
[Programmed], while this amendment appears to be requesting a designation of S-3 Priority
[Programmed]. The distinction is described on pg. IV-41 of the WSP, which notes that “community water
and/or service areas associated with facilities that are located outside of a designated Growth Area and not
within a Rural Village may be considered as Restricted Use service areas. These service areas are created
to correct documented public health problems generally associated with contaminated well[s] or failing
septic systems.” The amendment package does not indicate a contaminated well nor a failing septic
system on the property but does note that the property is located within a wellhead protection area.
Planning suggests that the county clarify if the property is to be designated S-3 Priority or S-3 Restricted
with the adopted version of the amendment, as it may impact the department’s comprehensive plan
consistency findings.

municipal comprehensive plan, whether the subject properties are included in Priority Funding Areas
(PFA), and any potential impact on local Growth Tier Maps. Pursuant to the State Finance and
Procurement Article, §5-7B-02, local jurisdictions are eligible to receive state financial assistance under
certain programs, if the project is in a PFA.
2009 Keedysville Comprehensive Plan
The proposed sewer map service category change appears to be inconsistent with the Keedysville 2009
Comprehensive Plan (Keedysville Comp Plan) because the subject property is not included as a growth
area on the “Potential Annexation Areas” map on pg. MG-23 of the Keedysville Comp Plan. The map of
the approximate location of the building to be constructed, submitted with the annexation, indicates that
the sewer connection will extend outside of the municipal boundaries. While the Keedysville Comp Plan
does not strictly prohibit serving properties outside of its boundaries with public sewer, pg. MG-12 states
that “the Town should condition any annexation resolutions on being able to connect to the Town’s water
and sewer lines with abandonment of private wells and septic systems.” This statement appears to indicate
that the Keedysville Comp Plan intends to reserve and require water and sewer connections for annexed
properties, and not for properties within Washington County.
2002 Washington County Comprehensive Plan
The amendment appears to be generally consistent with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan for Washington
County (Washington County Comp Plan) from a growth area perspective. An objective on pg. 15 of the
Washington County Comp Plan states that the county should “limit expansion of public water and sewer
facilities outside of designated growth areas to only those extensions necessary to address health issues.”
Based on Washington County’s Parcel and Zoning Locator Map on the county’s website, Parcel 73 is not
located inside a county growth area. However, and as described above, the materials submitted with the
amendment indicate the property being located within a wellhead protection area. While the Washington
County Comp Plan does not specifically restrict septic systems in wellhead protection areas, pg. 14
includes an objective to “protect surface and ground water quality through storm water management, on
lot sewage disposal, and wellhead protection regulations.”
In addition, the amendment appears to be generally consistent with the Washington County Comp Plan
from a policy area perspective. In describing the Preservation Policy Area, pg. 248 states that the policy
area “is proposed to include the County’s designated Rural Legacy Area, federal lands, state parks, state
wildlife management areas, county parks, Edgemont Watershed, and most of the mountaintops as well as
the Potomac River. Purchase of development easements to support preservation efforts in this area is
encouraged. Limited development to support the goals and objectives of preserving the resources of this
area is a priority.” The Washington County Comp Plan anticipated that a new Preservation Zoning
District would be applied to the Preservation Policy Area. The map linked above shows Parcel 73 as
zoned for preservation. The “Policy Areas and Zoning Districts” table on pg. 270 of the Washington
County Comp Plan proposes a residential density of 1 dwelling unit per 30 acres for the Preservation
Policy Area and Zoning District. The property currently contains one structure and the submission
materials state that this “proposal only seeks to extend service to the Burtner property located adjacent to
the existing service area. The property is 109.65 acres; however, a permanent Rural Legacy land
preservation easement has been established that limits development to only 3 additional units.” It is not

Washington County DRAFT WS-22-001 Sharpsburg WWTP Page 3 of 3
clear if the existing structure has public sewer, but if sewer service is limited to three dwelling units, then
development would be consistent with both the Rural Legacy easement and the Washington County
Comp Plan’s policies designed to limit development in the Preservation Policy Area
Priority Funding Areas
Parcel 73 is not currently located within a PFA and is unlikely to become eligible for PFA designation as
it is not located within a designated growth area, nor does it meet residential density requirements.
Growth Tier Map Review
Washington County has not adopted a Growth Tier Map.

Open Session Item
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING Hagerstown Regional Airport Property Acquisition
PRESENTATION DATE: August 30, 2022
PRESENTATION BY: Todd Moser, Real Property Administrator; and Mahesh Kukata, Aviation
Consultant, Airport Design Consultants, Inc.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Approve land acquisition for FAA Runway Visibility Zone (RVZ) and
Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) compliance by exercise of the power of eminent domain.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Currently, Washington County does not own the RVZ area, which has the airfield
fence and old fire station, preventing line-of-sight requirements for the RVZ. Therefore, there is an
operational restriction on Runway 2-20 after the Air Traffic Control Tower closes between the hours of
10 PM and 6 AM. In addition, the airfield fence along Runway 2-20 is in the ROFA and must be moved
to outside of the ROFA, requiring additional property acquisition.
DISCUSSION: There are (3) areas to be acquired by Washington County to address the RVZ and ROFA
improvements: Parcels A and Parcels B associated with the RVZ, and Parcel C associated with the ROFA.
Parcel A (0.04 acres) will be acquired by Washington County from First Flight Limited Partnership (Liber
836, Folio 438). Parcel B (2.70 acres) will be acquired by Washington County from New Heights
Industrial Park LLC (Liber 6166, Folio 342). Parcel C (0.14 acres) will be acquired by Washington County
from First Flight Limited Partnership (Liber 836, Folio 438). The proposed total property acquisition is
2.88 acres. The sellers are anticipated to consent to the acquisition.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,600,000 for acquisition, or such amount as the Circuit Court may order;
Professional Services: $150,000; Miscellaneous Costs: $25,000; Removal and reinstallation of the fence
& gates for aircraft access from New Heights property to the airfield and demolition of the Old Fire
Station: $1,200,000. This project is currently on the FAA ACIP and the County CIP. Project will be funded
with 90% FAA funds and 5% MAA funds (subject to some limitations).
CONCURRENCES: County Attorney; Real Property Administrator; and Aviation Consultant.
ALTERNATIVES: Forego property acquisition.
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed ordinance.

SUBJECT: Community Organization Funding - Service Priority Areas and Eligible Expenses
for Fiscal Year 2024
PRESENTATION DATE: August 30, 2022
PRESENTATION BY: Susan Buchanan, Director, Office of Grant Management
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to approve the Community Organization Funding
Service Priority Areas and their respective available funding amounts as presented (or amended).
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Community Organization Funding Committee is preparing for the
fiscal year 2024 application and review process. As agreed upon, the Board of County
Commissioners shall annually determine and approve the service priority areas eligible to receive
funding consideration. The Board shall also set or approve the total available funding that should
be dedicated to each established service priority area.
DISCUSSION: Historically the Board has funded six (6) service priority areas which are: Arts
& Culture, Domestic Violence, Families and Children, Recreation, Seniors and Other. These
service priority areas have encompassed and included all applications received and have not
excluded an organization from making application for funding.
For the purposes of the Committees fiscal year 2024 considerations, Washington County’s
Interim Chief Financial Officer has indicated $1,000,000 is available for distribution. This
amount represents an increase of $226,000 over FY23. This total is subject to adjustment as the
fiscal year 2024 budget is discussed.
It is the recommendation of the County’s Interim CFO and Director of the Office of Grant
Management that the amount of funding made available for each respective service priority be
set as indicated below.
Service Priority Area Funding Available Percent of Available Funds
Arts & Culture $113,200 11.3%
Domestic Violence $322,245 32.2%
Families & Children $412,305 41.2%
Recreation $28,350 2.8%
Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland
Agenda Report Form
Seniors $113,610 11.4%
Other $10,290 1.1%
Total $1,000,000 100%
As previously agreed upon by the Board, the Committee does have the latitude to move twenty
(20) percent of the approved amounts from one service priority to another, but every year the
amount of funding available for a specific service priority area will return to the approved base
figure as set by the Board.
On August 31, 2021 the Board voted to allow the inclusion of capital expenses as eligible costs
funded through Community Organization Funding in FY23. This inclusion did not have an
adverse impact upon the program and provided increased flexibility for applicants; therefore, it is
recommended that the grant continue to fund both capital and operating expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of Community Organization Funding is dependent upon

PUR-1566
A JUVENILE DIVERSION PROGRAM IN WASHINGTON
COUNTY, MARYLAND
A. Overview of the Washington County, Maryland Juvenile Diversion Program:
1. The overall goal of the Washington County, Maryland Juvenile Diversion
Program is to promote the Maryland Result for Child Well-Being,
“Communities are Safe for Children, Youth and Families,” by streamlining the
point of entry for services for delinquent youth. The program will provide case
management services to youth in order to prevent at-risk youth from becoming
negatively involved in the juvenile justice system. Specific objectives are as
follows:
a. Reduce the number of first-time juvenile offenders in Washington County,
Maryland entering the juvenile justice system
b. Reduce the recidivism rate for offenders previously diverted, and
c. Decrease the costs of court and juvenile system services in Washington
County, Maryland by diverting/redirecting youth from the system.
2. Location of Services – The Program will be in a centralized location and will
be in or near the City of Hagerstown where the largest concentration of the
target population is. The location should be accessible via public
transportation.
3. Collaborative Efforts – Services must include strong agency and community
collaboration and involvement. It will be required that the vendor create and
maintain collaborative relationships with all agencies throughout the juvenile
justice system – specifically, the Department of Juvenile Services, the
Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Hagerstown Police Department,
Washington County Public Schools, and other service providers.
B. Service Components:
The Local Management Board (LMB) is seeking proposals for a countywide
Juvenile Diversion Program that provides case management services in order to
prevent at-risk youth from becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. Case
management services will focus on diverting juvenile offenders from the
Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) to community-based programs. Service
Providers will further assess the diversion eligibility of delinquent youth to
determine whether the youth can be diverted from DJS to community-based
programs or should be referred to DJS. The Service Providers will provide
assessment, service linkage and monitoring of youth’s involvement in community-
based diversion programs, as well as follow-up care. Proposed services should
include:
1. The Juvenile Diversion Program will be accessible by all youth in the county,
allowing referrals from all law enforcement agencies (via police reports,
citations, arrests) and school systems (via school resource officer citations). All
police reports and citations will be forwarded to DJS for initial review. The
purpose of this review is to determine whether the youth meet basic eligibility
criteria for the program. See Section III for a definition of the target population.
Following the initial eligibility review, DJS will forward police reports and
citations to the Service Provider for further assessment and service linkage.
Note: DJS can be contacted for a history report but will not enter youth into the
DJS system.
2. Within seventy-two (72) hours of receiving a police report or citation, the
Service Provider will send an intake appointment letter to the parent/guardian
and youth, which specifies the alleged offense, date of alleged offense, intake
appointment (date and time), and necessary documentation to bring to the intake
appointment. If applicable, a letter is mailed to the victim of the alleged offense
requesting any additional information they may have regarding the offense,
other related circumstances and the cost of restitution, if any.
3. Conduct an intake interview with the youth and parent/guardian to determine
the appropriate course of action for the alleged offense (consequences).
4. During the intake interview, assess each youth to identify substance abuse and
mental health needs (using a validated screening tool). Where indicated,
determine the appropriate course of action (intervention).
5. Establish a diversion contract, which addresses agreed-upon consequences
and/or interventions as well as additional services/supports that may be deemed
appropriate.
6. Establish and monitor all diversion placements.
7. Utilize established community-based diversion programs where appropriate
and actively work to identify additional resources. Programs should include
community service and well as counseling and educational sessions in the
following: conflict resolution, violence prevention, mental health services, and
substance abuse education/treatment.
8. Diversion should be based on a Restorative Justice philosophy which engages
the eligible offender, offender’s parents/guardians and the victim in the
diversion process to restore the harm done and make the offender accountable
for their actions, while generally avoiding formal court proceedings.
9. The services should emphasize juvenile accountability, community protection
and competency development. The anticipated Length of Service (LOS) is
three (3) months.
C. Program Data Collection:
The Service Provider shall collect and report indicator data and program outcome
information as required by the Evaluation Contract executed with the Office of Grant
Management. Data collection will be required throughout the duration of the program.
The following data outcome measures are the minimum measures expected of the
selected Service Provider:
1. Total number of eligible referrals to the program
2. Number of eligible referrals that agree to diversion services (must sign contract)
3. Number and percentage of youth with an identified need who are referred to
mental health and/or substance abuse services and are successfully linked
(successful linkage is defined as appointment scheduled or added to waitlist)
4. Number and percentage of families who report satisfaction with program
services (per survey) at closure
5. Number and percentage of diverted youth that satisfy all obligations to
successfully complete the diversion program
6. Number and percentage of diverted youth who avoid re-offending for one full
year from completion date
These measures may be revised at the discretion of the OGM and GOCPYVS.
D. Parameters of the Award of Funds
1. The maximum award of $111,819 for the Juvenile Diversion Program will
tentatively commence on July 1, 2022 and end June 30, 2023 with an option by
the OGM to renew the awarded Contract for up to two (2) additional years
through fiscal year 2025.
2. Renewal of this agreement is at the discretion of the Local Management Board
and is contingent upon the following: 1) the continual award of funds from the
GOCPYVS, 2) the performance of the Service Provider, and 3) the
goals/outcomes desired by the GOCPYVS and OGM.
III. POPULATION SERVED
The program is designed to serve youth ages 10 to 17 (at time of offense) who are first-
time non-violent offenders. Types of first-time offenses that may be eligible for diversion
from DJS to community-based services include (but are not limited to) possession of
alcohol, possession of controlled dangerous substances, theft, minor assault, minor
weapons violations, computer crimes, disorderly conduct, false reports, harassment,
gambling violations, possession of fireworks, littering, telephone misuse, trespassing and
driving violations. First-time violent offenders and low-level repeat offenders may be
considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the DJS.
The Children’s Cabinet places special emphasis on addressing Racial and Ethnic disparities
(R/EDs). Staff at the awarded agency will be required to have some form of R/ED training
if they have not done so within the previous 12 months. R/ED data must be continuously
monitored to ensure the Juvenile Diversion Program is succeeding in reducing disparities
among the population. As Youth of Color are overrepresented among juvenile offenders,
they will be given priority status in the Diversion Program if it encounters capacity issues.
The Children’s Cabinet also places special emphasis on addressing Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) and applying Trauma-Informed Practices (TIPs). All juveniles
referred for the Diversion Program will be screened for potential mental health issues and
those with an identified need will be referred for mental health services. Staff at the
awarded agency will be required to have some form of trauma-informed training if they
have not done so in the previous Twelve (12) months.

center and the IP Radio Loggers. The Inform solution is licensed to provide the following user
applications: reconstruction, monitor, verify evidence, quality management. This solution meets
the requirements of the State of Maryland 9-1-1 board for the preservation of recordings at the
multiple locations of Washington County's 911 center. The purchase is a required upgrade and
replacement of the critical infrastructure relating to the legally required recording of Emergency
calls and radio communications.
This request requires the approval of four of the five Commissioners in order to proceed with a
sole source procurement. If approved, the following remaining steps of the process will occur as
outlined by the law: 1) Not more than ten (10) days after the execution and approval of a contract
under this section, the procurement agency shall publish notice of the award in a newspaper of
general circulation in the County and 2) An appropriate record of the sole source procurement shall
be maintained as required.

Inform will also provide support for replaying of recordings from within Aqua ProQA for 2 workstations
running the Aqua application.
.
Inform will interface to the Keystone CAD server's database to aid with the retrieval of recordings
related to specific CAD events and to display CAD event information within the Reconstruction
time line when reviewing recordings. The Generic CAD interface will be utilized, with a Read-Only
connection to the CAD System's SQL Backup Database (subject to further Tech Discovery).
Central Archive
A new HP DL380 Gen10 server will provide an archive destination for the local audio, along with the
audio and metadata from W. Washington St. The server is configured with 3 x 6TB drives in RAID5
for approx. 12TB of usable storage.
Intelligence Center
A HP DL380 Gen10 Server hosts Intelligence Center, which provides the PSAP management
team with near real-time information about the operation and status of the PSAP center, including
dashboard views of call handling metrics and call taker performance, delivering information to
1
management staff that provides a drill down to an individual call, or to an individual's evaluation
to uncover underlying issues that may be impacting a call taker's performance, or delaying key
response times. The Intelligence Center Server will interface to the Keystone CAD system's database
to pull key information and to the recorders via Inform to pull call information. Further Technical
Discovery is required.
Inform Health Manager.
A new alarm and monitoring solution, deployed on a HP DL360 Gen10 Server that will monitor
the Inform Solution servers at Elliott Parkway and W. Washington Street for any alarm and alert

Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Additional Funding Request for the Highway Department
PRESENTATION DATE: August 30, 2022
PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing Department and Zane Rowe,
Deputy Director, Highway Department
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to request additional funding in the amount of $47,776 for the
Highway Department to purchase four (4) new Mack Cab/Chassis Trucks with Dump Body. The Board
could approve the additional funds from FY’23 reserve surplus funds and reduce any surplus amount
to the Highway Department by the amount drawn down and that amount added to the capital reserves
so that the balance remains strong.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: On August 10, 2021 this Board approved the purchase for the initial order of
four (4) dump trucks from Baltimore Potomac Truck Center of Hagerstown, MD for the total sum of
$877,976. The Highway Department received notification from Baltimore Potomac Truck Center on
July 11, 2022 indicating that the upfitter J&J Body had received a price increase and that the costs
would need to be added to the original purchase price. Vendors are having difficulties controlling price
escalations due to the ongoing global market conditions, supply issues, price inflation and component
shortages that manufacturers and consumers continue to experience. With many companies in the
United States coming back online it has created a large demand for raw materials. Steel and aluminum
are among the most sought-after commodities. The steel mills have not been able to meet the rising
demands and thus have continued to raise their prices as well as produce minimal amounts of materials.
Since last fall aluminum has increased $0.79+ per pound, this as translated to a 60-65 percent increase
in aluminum prices depending on the grade and finish. Shortages in supply, labor and freight carriers
have continued to push the inflated prices much higher than ever anticipated in the history of our
country. The order should not be delayed, which would result in the County losing the order or drawn
out to were the department could be susceptible to another price increase.
DISCUSSION: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
CONCURRENCES: Public Works Director
ALTERNATIVES:
1.Approve the additional funding request, or
2.Do not approve the additional funding and the department will have purchased trucks without a
dump body.
