Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Volunteer Incentive Programs
PRESENTATION DATE: May 11, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: R. David Hays, Director of Emergency Services Dale Fishack,
President, WCVFRA Rick Hemphill, Assistant Treasurer, WCVFRA
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve the Division of Emergency Services (DES)
and the Washington County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (WCVFRA) to move
forward with final implementation of the new volunteer incentive programs, Backdating
implementation to an effective date of January 1, 2021.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Volunteerism in the fire and EMS community continues to be an integral
part of service delivery in Washington County. In recognizing the continued decline in the
number of volunteers and the hours they have to give, it remains paramount that we provide
additional efforts incentivize volunteer participation. The recent implementation of full time
County career Staff in several stations throughout the County is a significant investment and a
much needed partnership with our volunteer first responders. It is paramount that continue our
emphasis on volunteer recruitment, retention and funding support for the volunteer companies.
DISCUSSION: Through months of discussions, evaluations and planning several new volunteer
incentives are proposed to include; a volunteer responder pay-per-call incentives and volunteer
Ala’ Cart incentives. Several examples of the new Ala’ Carte incentives include; gift cards,
child care vouchers, Student Loans, rental or mortgage vouchers and auto insurance vouchers.
Other volunteer incentives included in this program are volunteer company fundraising
incentives and a ten-thousand dollar ($10,000.00) volunteer life insurance coverage. The
volunteer life insurance coverage under this program will provide coverage for those volunteers
who remain listed as “active”; earning at least 50 LOSAP points in the previous calendar year,
preceding death. . It is recommended that Company fundraising data from FY2020, or the
calendar year 2019 (depending on the company’s annual operating budget) be utilized for the
FY21 under the volunteer company fundraising incentives.
FISCAL IMPACT: $453,000; included in the DES FY21 and FY22 (yet to be approved)
Operating Budgets.
CONCURRENCES: N/A
ALTERNATIVES: Leave current incentives in place
ATTACHMENTS: Volunteer incentive worksheet

Agenda Report Form
Volunteer Cafeteria Award
The Volunteer Cafeteria Award will provide additional motivational support to encourage volunteer fire and EMS
responders to donate additional time and energies to their respective Fire/EMS Companies and respond to alarms in the
various stations. This will provide additional personnel when the company is dispatched by providing a financial award
for an aggregate of efforts at their company with financial benefits paid according to their individual needs. This will also
assist the companies in scheduling coverage by providing a more predictable staffing model.
The Award: The award will consist of a payment for each quarter for completing the aggregate requirements of support
for their companies. These are considered awards and are not linked to any specific actions and so are not cash payments
on a quid pro quo paid to the volunteers and do not conflict with LOSAP. These awards would be paid by WCVFRA
based upon quarterly activities as tracked by the Time Tracking system. The total amount of compensable payouts is
limited by the funds budgeted by the Washington County Commissioners. Payouts will commence with the 1 st quarter of
FY 2022.
Eligibility: Any volunteer who is a eligible to earn points in any of the companies now tabulating LOSAP who reaches a
quarterly threshold noted below is eligible for this award so long as they are not otherwise compensated for doing so by
any employer or the volunteer company. Efforts tabulated in the Stipend program and the Volunteer Response Benefit cannot be
used for this award. Probationary or untrained personnel are not eligible.
Implementation: LOSAP information is transmitted to the WCVFRA by the 15th of the month after the end of each quarter. That data must
be used to determine the eligibility of each volunteer. Late transmission by a LOSAP Coordinator may result in a loss of participation for a
quarter. No Volunteer Cafeteria Awards can be authorized after the quarterly payments for that quarter unless exceptions requested in writing.
Volunteers may receive credit from any company or companies so long as they are a member of that respective company for the entire quarter
and the information provided clearly identifies the Volunteer from others
The benefits Available are listed below and the volunteer may select the benefit they wish prior to the payment of the benefit.: Only one benefit
per quarter must be paid. Awards may be held and combined by quarter for an annual payment but must be disbursed prior to end of fiscal year.
40th alarm tabulated $50.00 gas card
50 volunteer hours donated per quarter $25.00 gas or restaurant card (not including alarms, 25 points or standby)
150 volunteer hours donated per quarter $100.00 (not including alarms, 25 points or standby)
200 volunteer hours donated per quarter$200.00 (not including alarms, 25 points or standby)
250 Volunteer hours donated per quarter $300.00 (not including alarms, 25 points or standby)
No Direct Cash payouts but can be selected as follows:
Payable against property taxes of primary residence
Payable against Mortgage of Primary residence
Payable to Landlord of Primary residence
Payable against Student Loans
Payable to Licensed Child Care Provider
Payable to Automobile insurance Company
Payable to cell phone provider
Gas or restaurant gift cards
Tabulation and reporting: Each quarter the submitted LOSAP data will be reviewed to determine if a volunteer has met
any of the thresholds so that an appropriate award may be issued (Meetings will be counted as 1 hour). The data will also be
cross referenced against other benefit programs to determine if all hours are creditable and the payout may vary due to
remaining budget.
All paperwork would be retained by WCVFRA and would be available for review and also available for county audit. The
listing of awards and financial requirements would be submitted to DES for total reimbursement to WCVFRA. Due to the
amounts no checks would be disbursed until the funds are received by WCVFRA. All checks would be cut by third party
accounting firm but authorized by WCVFRA the costs of the disbursements would be funded by the program.

SUBJECT: LOSAP Update/Request for Points Modification for 2020 Service Year
PRESENTATION DATE: May 11, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Dale Fishack, President, WCVFRA. David Hays, Director, Division of
Emergency Services
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve the point modification as presented by the President
Fishack on behalf of the WCVFRA for the LOSAP Year 2021.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The COVID19 Pandemics effects on Washington County continue to touch
all areas of responsibility and operations in the County. Volunteer Fire and EMS Departments rely
heavily on annual fund-raising efforts and the incomes they generate. With Governor Hogan’s
Executive orders limiting social gatherings of large numbers, many departments have needed to
cancel or suspend fund raising activities since early March of 2020.
DISCUSSION: For the 2nd year there have been cancelations of many fire and EMS company
fundraisers. With that said, many non-operational volunteers continue to be limited on opportunities
to earn the necessary LOSAP points. Several carnivals and larger events have already been canceled
for the 2nd year; several more are expected to be canceled in the near future.
The contributions of the non-operational members to the financial well-being of the volunteer system
remains significant. We must continue to preserve, where possible, the enthusiasm of this group of
volunteers in continuing the great work they do. Granting LOSAP participants the same points that
were earned in the calendar year 2019 for calendar year 2021 would add great value in recognizing
and assisting this group in meeting their LOSAP point obligations while the Pandemic continues.
FISCAL IMPACT: No Significant Consequences; as most will still actually earn the 50 LOSAP
points for 2021, thus getting the 2021 calendar year LOSAP credit, even without the requested
modification.
CONCURRENCES: Director of Emergency Services, Volunteer Coordinator
ALTERNATIVES: Not adopt the WCVFRA LOSAP Proposal and continue with current LOSAP
procedures for the 2021 LOSAP Year.

SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase (INTG-21-0057) 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) ESInet
Next Generation Software Upgrade for the Division of Emergency Services (DES)
PRESENTATION DATE: May 11, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing Department and Brian Albert,
Assistant Director, Emergency Communications Center
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize by Resolution, the approval for the Division
of Emergency Services to enter into a contract for the purchase and installation of the 9-1-1 (NG9-
1-1) ESInet Next Generation software upgrade at a cost of $1,395,818.52 from Motorola Solutions,
Inc. of Chicago, IL and to utilize another jurisdiction’s contract (RFP No. 17-210) that was
awarded by Purchasing Solutions Alliance (a national purchasing cooperative of Brazos Valley
Council of Government) and contingent upon approval of the final Agreement by the County
Attorney’s Office.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: On March 9, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
submission of an application to Emergency Number Systems Board (ENSB) in the amount of
1,395,254.52 for contracted 9-1-1 ESInet services, which ENSB approved. The 9-1-1 ESInet Next
Generation is an IP-based call routing service designed to streamline the route between the
emergency and the response, providing an improved 9-1-1 experience on both sides of the call.
Because most 9-1-1 systems were originally built using analog rather than digital technologies,
public safety answering (PSAPs) across the country needs to be upgraded to a digital or Internet
Protocol (IP0-based 9-1-1 system, commonly referred to as Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911).
NG911 is new technology that allows the public to share more detailed data, such as videos,
images, and texts with 9-1-1 call centers. It also enhances the ability of 9-1-1 call centers to
communicate with each other and improves system resiliency.
The Code of Public Laws of Washington County, Maryland (the Public Local Laws) §1-106.3
provides that the Board of County Commissioners may procure goods and services through a
contract entered into by another governmental entity, in accordance with the terms of the contract,
regardless of whether the County was a party to the original contract. The Purchasing Solutions
Alliance (PSA), a national purchasing cooperative of the Brazos Valley Council of Government
took the lead in soliciting the resulting agreement. If the Board of County Commissioners
determines that participation by Washington County would result in cost benefits or administrative
efficiencies, it could approve the purchase of this service in accordance with the Public Local Laws
Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland
Agenda Report Form
referenced above by resolving that participation would result in cost benefits or in administrative
efficiencies.
The County will benefit with direct cost savings in the leasing of the units because of the
economies of scale this group leveraged. I am confident that any bid received as a result of an
independent County solicitation would exceed the spend savings that Purchasing Solutions
Alliance, Inc. (PSA), a national purchasing cooperative of the Brazos Valley Council of
Government provides through this agreement. Additionally, the County will realize savings
through administrative efficiencies as a result of not preparing, soliciting and evaluating a bid.
This savings/cost avoidance would, I believe, be significant.
DISCUSSION: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the Division’s Capital Improvement Project (CIP)
account GRT150. There is a non-recurring/advance payment cost of $95,286.72 and recurring
cost of $21,675.53 over a sixty (60) month period, which will be paid from the $1,395,818.52. No
County funding is required for the initial purchase or the recurring cost.

in accordance with the provisions of the Master Service Agreement
dated of even date herewith, by and between the parties hereto
(hereafter the "MSA").
2. DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this SOA are defined
elsewhere in the SOA, MSA or Applicable Tariff.
"Applicable Tariffs" consist of the standard Vesta Solutions
service descriptions, pricing and other provisions filed by Vesta
Solutions or any of its Affiliates with the appropriate state regulatory
commission having jurisdiction respecting a Service, as revised by
Vesta Solutions from time to time. In the event an Applicable Tariff
is withdrawn by Vesta Solutions or tariffing is no longer permitted
or required by the appropriate state regulatory commission,
references to the Applicable Tariff shall be deemed to refer to the
corresponding state allowed named document for the services
offered herein.
"Individual Case Basis" (ICB) means a service arrangement in

rates may be different than the price list rates. ICB must be provided
under contract to a customer and the contract filed (under seal) with
the Commission, upon request. All customers have
nondiscriminatory access to requesting the service under an ICB
rate. Recurring and non -recurring charges for all services provided
pursuant to this price list may be individualized for a particular
Customer based on the need to respond to a unique service
application and/or market condition. All services will be offered on
the same basis to any other Customer, which has the same service
specifications and market conditions.

Solutions is required to pay to other carriers in connection with the

If an ICB is subject to the jurisdiction of a regulatory commission,
each such ICB will be subject to changes or modifications as the
controlling commission may direct from time to time in the exercise
of its jurisdiction. Therefore, for this purpose, each such ICB will be
deemed to be a separate agreement with respect to the Services
offered in a particular jurisdiction.
8. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
This SOA is made pursuant to and is governed by the MSA.
Customer and Vesta Solutions acknowledge and agree that in the

SUBJECT: 2021 Agricultural Land Preservation District Applications
PRESENTATION DATE: May 11, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Dept. of Planning & Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the 10-year Agricultural Land Preservation
Districts for the following four (4) property owners: Running Bear, LLC, Buhrman, Showe, and Thomas.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: On May 4, 2021 the County Commissioners held a Public Hearing to consider
the applications for Agricultural Land Preservation Districts.
DISCUSSION: A one-week review period to collect public comments on the district applications is
required due to the required social distancing restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of tax credits for these properties for the full ten-year period is
approximately $12/acre/year for a total of about $5,045 per year. This will be in the form of property taxes
not collected. A total of 420.42 acres will be included in the 4 districts.
CONCURRENCES: The Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board approved all the Districts
because they meet program criteria for size, soils, and assessment. The Planning Commission/Planning
Staff have determined the properties are consistent with Comprehensive Plan requirements due to their
locations outside of County-designated growth areas and planned water and sewer service areas.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny any of the pending 10-year Districts.

SUBJECT: Bowman Farms, LLC Rural Legacy Program (RLP) Easement
PRESENTATION DATE: May 11, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Dept. of Planning & Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Bowman Farms, LLC RLP Easement project, in
the amount of $1,360,740.00 for 403.22 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 Bowman Farms, LLC property is located at 15910 Cheneys Neck Ln.,
Sharpsburg, and the easement will serve to permanently preserve a valuable scenic, environmental, and
historic property in the County. The parcel is mostly hay, cropland, and woods. It lies in a part of
Washington County that was heavily trafficked during the Civil War. The farm is also on the National
Register of Historic Places.
The parcel is contiguous to hundreds of acres of preserved farmland near along the C&O Canal and
Potomac River and will aid in expanding the current block of protected lands. Twenty (20) development
rights will be extinguished with this easement.
DISCUSSION: Since 1998, Washington County has been awarded more than $25 million to purchase
Rural Legacy easements on more than 7,500 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 2021, Washington County was awarded RLP grants totaling $1,691,000. The Bowman Farms,
LLC 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 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.
