RZ-21-003, Black Rock PUD major change
PRESENTATION DATE: December 7, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Jill Baker, Director, Planning and Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Discussion to reach consensus to approve or deny a major
change to the development concept plan for Black Rock PUD.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The applicant requests a major change to the approved Black Rock
PUD concept development plan to increase the number of dwelling units from 595 to 1,148 and to
increase the residential density of the project from 2.7 dwelling units per acre to 5.2 units per acre.
DISCUSSION: The Washington County Zoning Ordinance requires that major changes to a PUD
development plan, and by extension the approved concept plan, go through a new public hearing
process to review and seek comment on the proposed changes. As part of the public hearing
process the elected body are charged with determining whether the change meets the intent and
requirements of the PUD zoning district (Article 16A) and establish findings of fact that consider:
1. The purpose of the PUD District;
2. The applicable policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan;
3. The compatibility of the proposed changes of the PUD District with neighboring
properties;
4. The effect of the proposed changes to the PUD District on community infrastructure; and
5. Consistency with the intent and purpose for the establishment of the PUD which is to
permit flexibility and creativity in the design of residential areas, promote economical and
efficient use of the land, provide for a harmonious variety of housing choices, a varied
level of community amenities and the promotion of adequate recreation, open space and
scenic attractiveness.
The Washington County Planning Commission held a public rezoning input meeting on June 4,
2021 and made a recommendation to deny the application on July 19, 2021. The Board of County
Commissioners held a public hearing on November 2, 2021 for the purpose of taking public
testimony on this subject. Several citizens spoke against the proposed change during the public
hearing and several written comments declaring opposition to this change were received during
the comment period. There were a few written comments received in favor of the proposed change.
All information related to this case was presented to the Commissioners at the time of the public
hearing and are contained in the official record of this case.

SUBJECT: Proposed Salary Scales for the Sheriff’s Office
PRESENTATION DATE: December 7, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Sheriff Doug Mullendore
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Approve the Salary Scales as Presented and the accompanying
budget adjustment.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: While presenting actions to the County Commissioners to hire and retain
staff on August 31, 2021 the County Commissioners asked to have the Sheriff review all Sheriff’s
Office deputy salaries and come back within 60 days to present the results. On November 2, 2021, a
presentation was made to the Commissioners and feedback indicated that the increased wages were
still inadequate for deputies and DFC’s.
DISCUSSION: After a careful review of the existing salary structure, it has been determined the
Washington County Sheriff’s Office salaries are not competitive which has hindered the ability to
hire new deputies and to retain existing deputies. We are now at approximately 15% vacancies in
Sworn and Corrections Deputy positions which has severely hampered operations.
Many discussions surrounding updated law enforcement salary scales have occurred. I bring forward
to you today a plan that retains tenured personnel, attracts and retains new personnel, and increases
wages across the board.
There are several major concerns that need discussed regarding the proposed FOP salary request.
- The FOP proposal denies the BOCC optional annual step increases (by making them
automatic) removing BOCC authority to proactively manage county budgets.
- The FOP proposal overall is top heavy, with large increases to tenured employees. This
proposal poorly addresses the main concern we have which includes wages for deputies with
1-3 years of service. Trained deputies continue to leave the County after a few years of training
and service due to non-competitive wages. The FOP proposal does not adequately address our
main staffing concern.
- The FOP proposal is years of service based which creates the following issue: Two deputies
begin working the same day. Deputy 1 makes Sergeant after 8 years, and deputy 2 makes
Sergeant after 13 years. Both deputies would be paid the same, even though deputy 1 had
more years of service as a Sergeant and more training in that capacity. This system does not
reward an individual who is driven, knowledgeable, and exceeds expectations. This is the
equivalent of paying a director with one year of experience in that role the same as a director
with 10 years of experience in that role. I cannot support this proposal.
Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland
Agenda Report Form
The salary proposal that I am presenting today has a starting salary of $52,000 for Sworn Deputies
and $46,000 for Correctional Deputies. A Deputy would automatically be promoted to Deputy First
Class after 3 years of service unless they were a lateral and then it would be after one year. A
promotion from Deputy to Deputy First Class would result in a 10% increase in salary.
After 18 months in the rank of Deputy First Class, that individual would be eligible to test for
promotion to Master Deputy. In addition, any Deputy First Class who has completed 15 years of
service or more would automatically be promoted to Master Deputy. The promotion from DFC to
Master Deputy would also result in a 10% increase in salary. Any Master Deputy who has been in
that rank for at least 18 months would then be eligible to test for promotion to Corporal.
Most Deputies would receive an additional increase in salary between $6,500 to over $10,000. If they
are subsequently promoted to Master Deputy there would be another increase in salary of between
$5,700 and over $9,000. The deputies promoted to Master Deputy would receive overall increases of
between $12.500 to $18,000.
A Master Deputy would be eligible to test for promotion to Corporal after 18 months as a Master
Deputy. If they were promoted to Corporal, they would receive a 6% increase in salary. Once they
were in the rank of Corporal for one year, they would automatically be promoted to the rank of
Sergeant and receive an additional 5% increase in salary (11% total after one year).
All other promotions would require the individual to be in their rank for one year before being eligible
to test for the next highest rank. If they were promoted, they would receive a 7.5% increase in salary.
All promotions would move up one grade and back one step. This would allow them to receive the
exact percentage increase in salary as I have mentioned for the various ranks.
In addition, I sent this proposal to all of the deputies and asked for any comments and issues regarding
disparity in salaries. We have reviewed everyone of the disparities and have successfully resolved
about 99% of them. There are always going to be a few who believe they were not slotted correctly,
but the review did not bare that out. The automatic promotion to Master Deputy after 15 years was a
comment I heard from a number of personnel which is why we made that change as well. I also
receive quite a few thank you comments from staff for the proposal that I presented to them. I believe
the proposal I am presenting you today represents the best salary proposal we can offer with a majority
in agreeance.
Proposed Salary Increase Percentages for Current Employees
Central Booking 13.3% 21.8%
Detention 15.2% 20.8%
DRC Booking 20.8% 32.9%
Judicial 12.5% 19.8%
Patrol 12.6% 17.0%
I am therefore requesting County Commissioners approval of the proposed salary scales to take
affect no later than four weeks from the date of this agenda item.
FISCAL IMPACT: The salary cost for implementation of this salary proposal is $1,818,427.00 with
the potential of another $711,190.00 if all Deputy First Class were promoted to Master Deputy. The
total cost of this salary proposal is $3,810,020 which includes salaries, benefits, shift differential and
overtime pay.
The FY22 cost projection is lower than the total cost projection:
- pension is set for FY22 and will not change
- FY22 assumes not all positions will make master deputy immediately
The cost projection and budget adjustment for FY22 is $2,769,930
CONCURRENCES: N/A
ALTERNATIVES: Do nothing an continue with the salary scales that are currently in place.

Sheriff’s Office Revised Pay Scale Proposal
The Revised Pay Scale Proposal is based on a deputy being a deputy
for three years and automatically going to Deputy First Class upon
completion of the third year of service.
A Deputy going from Deputy to Deputy First Class would receive a 10%
pay raise and go to DFC Step 1. All other promotions would be moving
up one grade and back one step.
A DFC would need to be a DFC for at least 18 months to be eligible to
test for Master Deputy. The Master Deputy testing would occur twice
per year, January 15th and July 15th. The written test would consist of
questions from the Sheriff’s Office General Orders with a passing
grade of 70% to be promoted. A DFC would need to have at least a
satisfactory evaluation in order to be eligible for the promotional
process.
A DFC who passes the promotional process for Master Deputy will
receive a raise of 10%.
A Master Deputy would need to be a Master Deputy for at least 18
months to be eligible for the promotional process for Corporal.
A Master Deputy who successfully achieves the rank of Corporal
through the promotional process would receive a 6% raise and then
automatically be promoted to Sergeant after one year of service as a
Corporal. The Corporal would receive a 5% pay raise when going from
Corporal to Sergeant. That would equate to an 11% raise within one
year.
All other promotions would be a raise of 7.5%. All steps for all ranks
would be a 2.5% raise.
We have tried to place all personnel in their appropriate rank and step
according to what they would have received up until January, 2022.
Anyone having an anniversary after January 1, 2022 would receive
their promotion to DFC as would be the normal process on the
anniversary of their third year of service. Laterals would receive their
DFC promotion on the anniversary of their one year of service.

SUBJECT: American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Older American Act Funds
PRESENTATION DATE: December 7, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Amy Olack, CEO, Bill Beard, President, Board of Directors and Ed
Lough, Vice-President, Board of Directors
RECOMMENDED MOTION: To approve County funds as the local match requirement of
$122,027 for the Washington County Commission on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) to obtain American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Funds in the amount of $575,719 for the Federal Older American’s Act
programs.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: On March 11, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) was signed
into law. Section 2921 of the law appropriated $1.434 billion to remain available until expended
to carry out the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA). Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) are
eligible to receive funding under Title III Parts B, C1, C2, D, and E if local match requirements
are met. Federal funds are not an allowable match. $122,027 is the required match for $575,719
in Federal funds available to Washington County’s Area Agency on Aging to support older
adults.
DISCUSSION: The WCCOA is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Washington County.
The WCCOA serves the fastest growing segment of the County’s population, seniors. The
WCCOA also serves those with disabilities regardless of age and caregivers. The WCCOA
provides over 50 programs and services. There are over 300 seniors on the waitlist for at least
one of the programs and services provided.
This funding would expand or enhance allowable programs and services to older adults.
Programs include but are not limited to: Home Delivered Meals, also known as Meals on
Wheels; Congregate Sites (7 throughout the County); social isolation; chore, homemaker, and
personal care services; caregiver services; health promotion and education; and respite care. The
ARP project period for the awards is April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The State
Department of Aging will require tracking and reporting of all expenditures.
FISCAL IMPACT: Local funds of $122,027 are a required match for the Washington County
Commission on Aging, Inc. to receive the proposed $575,719 in ARP funds.
CONCURRENCES: None anticipated.
ALTERNATIVES: Not to accept $575,719 in eligible Federal funds.
