The program will incentivize the economic revitalization of property requiring significant investment in order to prepare it for rehabilitation, properties designated by the State of Maryland as “Brownfield Sites.” DISCUSSION: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a brownfield as, “a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.” Washington County, Maryland’s brownfields provide a unique opportunity for our community to meet economic development goals, environmental protection and sustainability goals, and help achieve our comprehensive plan visions and objectives. Washington County’s brownfields can be assets for revitalization, reinvestment, and redevelopment. There are approximately 21 active brownfield sites (as of July 2, 2018) located within Washington County, MD listed on the State of Maryland’s Brownfield Master Inventory. - Eligible sites earn a 50% property tax credit on the increase (the difference between the pre- remediation and post-remediation tax assessments) of county and/or municipal real property tax. - Brownfields located within an Enterprise Zone may receive the tax credit for up to 10 years, and properties outside these zones receive the credit for five years. As of January 2019, jurisdictions that have enacted BRIP legislation include: Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, and Worcester counties – and the following municipalities: Baltimore City, Colmar Manor, Cumberland, Frederick, Salisbury, and Taneytown. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: Do not adopt the ordinance.

Open Session Item SUBJECT: Agricultural Preservation Easement Rankings FY 2021 PRESENTATION DATE: June 30, 2020 PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Department of Planning & Zoning RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the priority ranking of Agricultural Land Preservation Easement applications as recommended by the Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board and to forward the top 12 applications to the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF). REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The purchase of permanent land preservation easements through the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program (MALPP) is the largest part of Washington County’s rural preservation strategy. All applications are ranked by the local Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board using the adopted Priority Ranking Formula which assigns points for such things as quality of soils, proximity to other preserved lands, agricultural status, economic viability, and relationship to other land use areas in the County. DISCUSSION: The Commissioners were introduced to the subject at the Public Hearing on June 16, 2020 and allotted two weeks for public comment to be submitted. Following review and consideration of public comment from this public hearing, Commissioners are requested to approve the top 12 applications to be forwarded to the MALPF Board. Easements are purchased in order from the priority list until funds are exhausted. Maryland law requires MALPF and the County to maintain confidentiality of financial information and rankings for our easement applicants until the end of an annual easement acquisition cycle. Therefore, only the County Commissioners have the Excel spreadsheet of rankings by the Ag Board. The public copy lists only the names of applicants. FISCAL IMPACT: No impact to County General Fund. The County will have an opportunity to contribute locally collected Agricultural Transfer Taxes and Real Estate Transfer Taxes in the Fall 2020. Local and State funds are combined (60% State and 40% County) to fund the matching portion of the program. CONCURRENCES: The Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board has approved the rankings of these applications and the limit of 12 applications being forwarded to MALPF. ALTERNATIVES: Change ranking and/or number of applicants submitted.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Application is being made to extend an existing Rural Business floating zone over an adjacent .88-acre property through a rezoning map amendment. DISCUSSION: The applicant WALZC, LLC seeks a map amendment for a property adjacent to the site of Mt. Tabor Builders at 14624 National Pike near the Rural Village of Wilson. An existing RB floating zone was established over the parcel containing Mt. Tabor Builders in 2015. The current proposal seeks to extend the RB zone to accommodate use of an accessory structure related to business operations that would not be permitted under its current zoning designation. The factors to be considered in a request for the creation of a new RB zoning district are listed in Article 5E of the Washington County Zoning Ordinance. RB districts must designate a specific type of land use and demonstrate that the proposed use will be compatible with the existing neighborhood which surrounds it. The purpose of the RB zoning district is to permit the continuation and development of businesses that support the agricultural industry and farming community, serve the needs of the rural residential population, provide for recreation and tourism opportunities, and to establish locations for businesses and facilities not otherwise permitted in the rural areas of the County. This item was presented to the Washington County Planning Commission at a Public Information Meeting held during their regular meeting on February 3, 2020. It was then brought back for recommendation at the March 2, 2020 meeting, where the members unanimously recommended in favor of the proposed map amendment. Thus far, one public comment in favor of the proposal was received during the Public Information Meeting. This is the only public comment received to date either for or against the proposed rezoning. The Public Hearing for this item was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on June 16, 2020. No action was taken by Commissioners on the request at that time.

Background Information a. Location and Description of Subject Properties The subject parcel is located on the north side of National Pike (U.S. 40) between Spickler Rd and Rocky Fountain Lane west of the Rural Village of Wilson. The property subject to this rezoning encompasses .88 acres of land (Parcel A) on Parcel 71 (.88 acres) and is under contract purchase from current property owners David and Elizabeth Miller ("Miller Property). An existing Rural Business Overlay District currently extends over adjoining parcel 73, which consist of Lot 1 (.72 acres) and Lot 2 (.57 acres). Lots 1 & 2 serve as the location for Mt. Tabor Builders. These properties are improved by an office building, garages and paved driveway and parking area. Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — Walzc, LLC b. Rural Business Floating Zone Purpose and Criteria The Rural Business Zoning District (RB) is established to permit the continuation and development of businesses that support the agricultural industry and farming community, serve the needs of the rural residential population, provide for recreation and tourism opportunities, and to establish locations for businesses and facilities not otherwise permitted in the rural areas of the County. It is established as a "floating zone" which may be located on any parcel in an Agricultural, Environmental Conservation, Preservation or Rural Village Zoning District. A floating zone is a zoning district that delineates conditions which must be met before that zoning district can be approved for an existing piece of land. Section 5EA of the Rural Business Zoning District describes the criteria that must be met for the establishment of a new Rural Business Zoning District. These criteria include: 1. The proposed RB District is not within any designated growth area identified in the Washington County Comprehensive Plan; 2. The proposed RB District has safe and usable road access on a road that meets the standards under the "Policy of Determining Adequacy of Existing Roads." In addition, a traffic study may be required where the proposed business, activity or facility generates 25 or more peak hour trips or where 40% of the estimated vehicle trips are anticipated to be commercial truck traffic; 3. Onsite issues relating to sewage disposal, water supply, stormwater management, floodplains, etc. can be adequately addressed; and 4. The location of an RB District would not be incompatible with existing land uses, cultural or historic resources, or agricultural preservation efforts in the vicinity of the proposed district. Section 5E.6c further expands upon the above noted criteria in describing the basis for which the Planning Commission should base its recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners upon after the Public Information Meeting including: 1. The proposed district will accomplish the purpose of the RB District; 2. The proposed site development meets criteria identified in Section 5EA of this Article; 3. The roads providing access to the site are appropriate for serving the business -related traffic generated by the proposed RB land use; 4. Adequate sight distance along roads can be provided at proposed points of access; 2 Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — W a I m, LLC 5. The proposed landscaped areas can provide adequate buffering of the proposed RB land use from existing land uses in the vicinity; 6. The proposed land use is not of a scale, intensity or character that would be incompatible with adjacent land uses or structures. To be established, RB districts must also meet bulk requirements outlined in Article 5E.5. A preliminary site plan which addresses the elements noted above and other criteria in 5E.6.a(3) in greater detail is also a required part of the application process. Finally, approval of the application to create an RB District shall only be for the use identified on the application and preliminary site plan. An approved RB District covers only the portion of the parcel or lot identified in the application. Changes to the use, intensity or area covered by an approved RB District shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. A new public hearing may be required to approve the changed use. II. Staff Analysis The staff analysis of the proposed rezoning will utilize the criteria outlined in the previous section of this report to determine the suitability of applying a newly created RB floating zone in the designated location. 1. The proposed district will accomplish the purpose of the RB District; As this application represents simply extending the existing RB District on Lot 1 that was approved in 2015, it stands to reason that the accessory use which would be covered by the enlarged RB District would also accomplish the state purpose of floating zone. The proposed storage facility would otherwise not be a permitted land use in the underlying Agricultural Rural Zoning District. 2. The proposed RB District is not within any designated growth area identified in the Washington County Comprehensive Plan; The proposed site of this rezoning is located in the Rural Area of Washington County outside of any growth areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Road and Traffic Considerations a. Traffic Generation As an accessory use to the principal structure located on adjacent Lot 1, the extension of the current RB District onto the adjacent Miller property is estimated by the Applicant in their Exhibit B to generate less than ten trips per day resulting from the creating of the storage building. Additionally, as an office storage facility, the proposed use is unlikely to generate commercial truck traffic to the site. This trip generation estimate falls below the requirements of the RB District which necessitate a traffic study when the proposed business, activity or facility generates 25 or more peak hour trips or where 40,00 of the estimated vehicle trips are anticipated to be commercial truck traffic. 37� Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — Walzc, LLC Traffic counts on County and State roads in the vicinity of the rezoning site provide limited information traffic flow or congestion that might be impacted an expanded business at this location. Single day traffic counts were collected for one 24-hour period in both 2008 and 2016 on Spickler Road near its intersection with U.S. 40. Slightly more than 700 vehicles were recorded at this location in both years. SHA does not maintain a permanent traffic counter in the immediate vicinity of the site. The closest is located 1 mile away on St. Paul Road where annual average daily traffic (AADT) has grown at a rate of less than 1% per year since 2000 from approximately 2,300 AADT to roughly 2,600 AADT in 2018. b. Road and Site Circulation Improvements The existing driveway in its current state on Lot 1 is anticipated by the applicant to continue serving as the point of ingress and egress for access to Mt. Tabor Builders. The business is located on U.S. 40, which is classified as a minor arterial in the Transportation Element of the County's 2002 Comprehensive Plan. Minor arterials serve a mean ADT of 2,000-5,000 vehicles in rural areas such as this. The storage building on the Miller property will be surrounded by a gravel parking lot. A review of the County's 10-Year CIP and the State Highway Administration's Consolidated Transportation Plan did not note any road improvements in the vicinity of this proposed rezoning that affect road capacity or traffic flow. The Highway Plan in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and HEPMPO's LRTP also did not indicate any immediate road improvements in the vicinity. 4. Site Planning Considerations a. Water The proposed rezoning site is designated as W-7 in the 2009 Water and Sewer Plan with no planned connected to public water. Therefore, the wells depicted on Washington County Plat 8126 on Lots 1 & 2 would continue to serve the proposed rezoning site. As a building anticipated to be used for storage purposes, water use from the new building on the Miller property would likely be minimal. Well locations are approved by the Washington County Health Department, The Health Department is also responsible for monitoring wells for water quality issues. b. Sewer The proposed rezoning site is designated as S-7 in the 2009 Water and Sewer Plan with no planned connected to public sewer. Therefore, the site would continue to utilize the on -site septic system found on Washington County Plat 8126 for sewage disposal. Expansion of the existing septic reserve area is not presently anticipated, according to the applicant. The Washington County Health Department is responsible for approving the location and method of sewage disposal on individual properties in the County. Upon reviewing the application, the Health Department has offered the following comment on the proposed Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — Walzc, LLC rezoning: "The septic reserve area has been compromised. Any expansion of the business or change in (land) use (would) require this to be addressed." c. Stormwater Management A bioretenion pond is proposed in the northwest corner of the Miller Property on the preliminary site plan to capture stormwater from the storage facility. A gravel parking lot will surround the building. d. Floodplain The proposed rezoning site does not contain floodplain. e. Bulk Regulations The proposed use is anticipated to comply with all bulk regulations outlined in the RB Zoning District, including lot size, setbacks, height limitations, lot coverage, parking, signage, lighting, material storage and screening. Further detail about each of these individual items can be found in the applicant's Justification Statement. 5. Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses a. Land Use in the Vicinity Zoning in the vicinity of this proposed rezoning is heavily agricultural and the surrounding lands constitute some of the better farm land in the County. Land use along National Pike in the immediate area is comprised mostly of small residential lots fronting the highway. Scattered commercial uses can be found in the vicinity, particularly in the Rural Village of Wilson where there is a General Store and Sweetsies Eats and Treats. The Hagerstown Speedway is across Conococheague Creek, along with Zach Greenlee's restaurant. Myers Building Systems is found directly across U.S. 40 from the site. The Rural Business Overlay Zone has been applied to a number of properties in the vicinity. As mentioned, Mt. Tabor Builders, which presently occupies parcel 73, already has the RB designation. This is also the case for Miller's Farmstead, a wedding an events reception facility located at Spickler Road and U.S. 40; Myers Building Systems, Sweetsies and the Wilson General Store. All properties mentioned are within 1 mile of the proposed rezoning site. b. Historic Resources There are 8 existing historic sites in the vicinity of this proposed rezoning that should be considered in evaluating. Three of the eight are located within approximately'% mile west of the site near the intersection of U.S. 40 and Spickler Road. Three others are located approximately /z mile south of the site across U.S. 40 near 1-70 West. These six sites are documented on the Maryland Historic Sites Inventory by the Maryland Historical Trust but were not recommended for listing as National Historic Register Properties. They are described in the inventory as follows: Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007— Walzc, LLC • WA-V-065: "Rocky Fountain Farm" Early 19'h century vernacular farm complex including large stone dwelling built in two sections, a log house sheathed with German Siding, a stone spring house and large stone end bank barn. • WA-V-098: "Bloyer House" Mid-191h century small farmstead including large, 2-story brick home that may have served as an inn or Tavern along the historic National Pike, small frame bank barn and wagon shed. • WA-V-099: "Carriage Factory" Late-191h century vernacular farm complex including German sided frame house, large frame barn and numerous outbuildings. Reported to have been a production place for horse drawn carriages. • WA-V-112: "Mid-1911 Century House" Mid-19'h century vernacular 2-story brick house. • WA-V-114: "Brick Farmhouse" Mid-191h century farm complex including 2-story brick home, log smoke house, frame out kitchen and other outbuildings. Evidence of old road predating U.S. 40 that served several area farms. • WA-V-192: "Brick House" Late-19th century 2-story brick home. Two other historic sites are located approximately 3/4 mile east in the Rural Village of Wilson. These two sites are National Historic Register Properties described as: • WA-V-007: "Wilson School" Mid-1911 century school house built by local merchant Rufus Wilson that was incorporated into County's public education system in 1890s. Remained in use until 1950 and was the last operating one -room school house in the County. • WA-V-074 "Rufus Wilson Complex" Mid -Late 19'h century rural commercial complex which comprised the small rural settlement of Conococheague on National Pike. The buildings include a general store with attached feed room, post office, 2'/z story limestone dwelling, carriage house, bank barn and small corn crib. The rural commercial complex served the local community and travelers on the National Road in the latter half of the 19'h century. Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — Walzc, LLC c. Agricultural Land Preservation The proposed rezoning site does fall within the County's Priority Preservation Area (PPA). Properties within a PPA are considered as potential targets for State or local agricultural land preservation programs to ensure the continued viability of this industry in Washington County. Immediately adjacent to the Miller property is the Myers Charolais Ag District (AD-96- 004). The Ag District program encourages landowners to voluntarily enter into an Ag District in which it is agreed that the land will not be developed for a period of five years. In return for the restrictions, the landowner receives protections from nuisance complaints, becomes eligible to sell development rights easements through the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program and receives a tax credit on all County property taxes associated with agricultural land and buildings, as well as up to $711 toward property taxes on dwellings. While numerous Ag Districts are located in the vicinity of the proposed rezoning site, particularly to the north, AD-96-004 is the only one which lies immediately adjacent to the site. The removal of less than 1 acre from the agricultural land comprising the Miller property wouldn't necessarily remove the remaining acres on that property from consideration for agricultural land preservation in the future. Therefore, the proposed rezoning wouldn't be incompatible with this broader land use objective for the rural area. 6. Additional Considerations a. Emergency Services The Clear Spring Volunteer Fire Company is the nearest emergency services provider to this site, located approximately 3.5 miles west on U.S. 40 in the Town of Clear Spring. b. Comprehensive Plan The 2002 Comprehensive Plan designated this site as falling within the Agriculture Policy Area in its Land Use Plan. This Policy Area is primarily associated with the Great Hagerstown Valley and includes the best soils for agricultural production. Rural businesses in this policy area are limited but a permitted land use through the RB floating zone application process. c. Hours of Operation, Employees The anticipated hours of operation for the proposed use are Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 4 pm with three onsite employees. Staff Report and Analysis RZ-19-007 — Walzc, LLC Based on the analysis provided above, Staff believes that there is sufficient evidence to meet the criteria outlined in Article 5E in support of the application of a Rural Business floating zone to the subject area.

Tabor Builders, Inc. and member of the Applicant, to expand the footprint of his business, and improve the property by adding an accessory storage building, as a permitted use in the RB District, as indicated in Article 3, Table 3.3(1) of the Washington County Zoning Ordinance (the "Ordinance"). BACKGROUND The Property is located at 14624 National Pike, Clear Spring, Maryland. The Applicant claims title to the Property by virtue of a Deed dated February 13, 2012 and recorded among the Land Records of Washington County at Liber 4230, folio 0161. The Property is more particularly shown on the Preliminary/Final Plat of Subdivision Lots 1 and 2 for Matthew and Eileen Eby recorded at Plat No. 8126, among the Plat Records of Washington County, Maryland. The Property is zoned A(R) Agricultural Rural and overlaid with the RB District floating zone. Improvements to the Property consist of an existing office building, garages and blacktop drive and parking area. The Applicant has contracted with David and Elizabeth Miller, the owners of certain adjacent real property, for the acquisition of+/- 0.88 acres of their adjacent parcel (the "Miller Property"). The Property, combined with the Miller Property is more particularly shown on the plat entitled "Simplified Subdivision of Parcel A for WALZC, LLC", dated October 15, 2019, prepared by Frederick Seibert and Associations, Inc. and recorded among the Plat Records of Washington County, Maryland at Plat No. 11015. Plat No. 11015 is attached hereto as "Exhibit A". 19405 Emerald Square, Suite 2100 Office 202, Hagerstown, MD 21742 Office: 240-513-4332 Email: zachgzkiefferlaw.com www.zkiefferlaw.com JUSTIFICATION The purpose of the RB District is "...to permit the continuation and development of businesses that support the agricultural industry and farming community, serve the needs of the rural residential population, provide for recreation and tourism opportunities and to establish locations for businesses and facilities not otherwise permitted in the rural areas of the County" (Ordinance, Article 5E-"RB" Rural Business District) Enlarging the existing RB District to include the Miller Property and permitting the proposed use, as shown on the "Rezoning Exhibit for WALZC, LLC" created by Frederick Seibert & Associates, Inc., dated November 14, 2019, and attached hereto and incorporated herein as "Exhibit B", will allow the expansion of Mr. Eby's business and the construction of a permitted accessory equipment storage building (the "Storage Building"). Without the extension of the RB District, construction of the Storage Building, as an accessory to Mt. Tabor Builder's business office, would otherwise be prohibited on a parcel zoned Agricultural Rural. The proposed Map Amendment sought by the Applicant satisfies the Bulk Regulations required by the Ordinance for an RB District overlay as more specifically shown on Exhibit A: a. Lot Size: Minimum 40,000 sf — the Property contains +/- 1.51 acres or +/- 65,775.6 sf. b. Front Yard Building Setback: 40 feet from a Minor Collector or Local Public Road Right of Way or 50 feet from a Major Collector or Arterial Public Road Right of Way- shown on Exhibit B. c. Side and Rear Yard Building Setbacks: 50 feet from a property zoned for or occupied by a Residential Land Use; 25 feet from a property zoned for or occupied by a Non -Residential Land Use -as shown on Exhibit B. d. Height: No proposed or existing structure is or shall be greater than 35 feet. e. Lot Coverage: Maximum 65%. The footprint of the Buildings is less than 65% of the area of the Property. f. Parking: No additional parking is contemplated in connection with this application. All off-street parking facilities shall be in accordance with Article 22, Division I of the Ordinance. g. Signage: Though additional signage is proposed at this time, any subsequent signage shall conform to the requirements set forth in Section 22.23 of the Ordinance. h. Lighting: Any and all building mounted or freestanding lighting shall be constructed so that light and glare are directed toward the ground. i. As shown on Exhibit B, outside storage of materials is not contemplated. Future outside storage, if intended, will be part of the final site plan submission. j. Screening: Trash, refuse or recycling receptacles shall be screened from public view. 2. The proposed RB District is not within any designated growth area identified in the Washington County Comprehensive Plan. 3. The drive -way on the Property will remain the ingress/egress point to access National Pike. National Pike is classified as a State Road with adequate site lines for ingress and egress to the Property. No improvements to the existing drive -ways are contemplated at this time, as the addition of the Miller Property to the Property is not anticipated to create additional trips to and from the Property. The surface area around the Storage Building will be gravel. Any improvements to the existing drive will be done in accordance with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations. 4. A septic area for the Property was platted on Plat No. 8126. Further, the Applicant does not intend to expand the septic reserve area. Any change in the Applicant's plans will be addressed as part of Applicant's final site plan submission. The Property is not in the 100-year flood plain. 5. The location of the proposed RB Overlay would comport with existing land uses. The Property is zoned A(R) with the RB Overlay and this application merely contemplates an extension of that RB Overlay to adjacent land. Directly adjacent to the Property, on the south side of National Pike, sits another parcel with the RB Overlay. A third parcel with the RB Overlay sits approximately 1,000 feet to the west of the Property. Expanding the RB Overlay to the Miller Property will not burden the community with an incompatible use. The end result of this application will be the construction of the Storage Building, as an accessory structure to Mr. Eby's business, which is a permitted use. The Storage Building is not expected to increase the daily number of trips to and from the Property. Nor will the addition of the Storage Building intensify the existing use on the Property. Further, the Storage Building will likely be in the style of any number of ordinary detached buildings found on commercial properties throughout the County. The Applicant's proposed RB District and contemplated use is compatible with the existing land uses on the adjacent and nearby parcels surrounding the Property. The relative low intensity of the use of the Storage Building further points to the proposed RB District's compatibility with existing land uses. Applicant's proposed use will be consistent with the purpose of the RB District and satisfies the elements and criteria necessary to approve the RB District overlay on the Property. Applicant respectfully requests that this application be granted and allowed to proceed to final site plan approval. Very Truly Yours, Zachary J.

CONCURRENCES: Award as unanimously recommended by the Coordinating Committee. ALTERNATIVES: N/A ATTACHMENTS: Scope of Work (excerpt from RFP document). AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form PUR-1470 Intervention and Case Management for Youth of Incarcerated Parents in Washington County, Maryland After accessing the needs of the community and review of current data about school readiness, the Washington County Local Management Board has concluded that programming is necessary to impact this issue particularly among those youth whose parent(s) have been or are currently incarcerated. Research indicates that this population has increased risk of poor school performance. The Board wishes to fund a program that will coordinate with local law enforcement to provide school readiness/success resources along with case management to this population. The program will specifically target youth ages 0-18 (along with their caregivers) with at least one parent currently incarcerated at the Washington County Detention Center (WCDC) or the Washington County Day Reporting Center (WCDRC). The selected organization will work closely with both agencies to provide services including but not limited to family assessment, case management and referral to services. Parent/caregiver classes will be provided to include school readiness and parenting skills curriculum. The overall goal of the program is to provide services to youth of incarcerated parents and their caregivers, recognizing the adverse impact parental incarceration may have on the family. 1. Staffing – Case Management Services may be provided by one or more Case Managers either on a full or part-time basis as long as the services meet the minimum requirement of 390 hours per quarter. A qualified applicant preferably has a bachelor’s degree or higher in a mental health or human services field with at least two years’ experience working with youth and families. Applicants with bachelor’s degree in other fields or with Associates Degrees in mental health or human services field with at least four years’ work experience working with youth and families will also be considered. Please note staff or employee leave time including but not limited to vacation, personal and sick leave will not be reimbursable under this project per GOCPYV guidelines and policies. 2. Collaborative efforts – Services must include strong agency and community collaboration and involvement. It will be required that the Applicant create and/or maintain a collaborative relationship with local law enforcement and service providers. 3. Coordination with local law enforcement – A Memorandum of Understanding between the Applicant and WCDC and WCDRC is required to be executed prior to the start of services. The service provider shall obtain all necessary malpractice and liability insurances in the amounts required by WCDC and WCDRC. 4. Referrals to Service – The Program will be accessible by all targeted youth and families (see POPULATION SERVED), allowing referrals from all law enforcement agencies (including WCDC and WCDRC), school systems, service providers, and citizens. 5. Location of Services – Location of services in close proximity to the WCDC and WCDRC is preferred but not required. 6. Outreach – The success of this program will be dependent upon the target population being referred to it, therefore, outreach is an important component. The Applicant should ensure the target population and service providers are aware of the program. 7. Case Management – The Case Manager(s) will provide case management services, including (but not limited to) family assessment, referral services, family centered services, and follow up support as necessary to the youth and families served. 8. Training and Education – The Intervention and Case Management for Youth of Incarcerated Parents program will focus on two educational components: (1) preparing youth under 5 for school readiness and (2) ensuring school age youth are successful in school. To achieve these goals the program will offer training workshops/educational learning experiences in these subject matters at least quarterly. 9. Population Data Collection – In addition to program data, the applicant will be responsible for collecting local data/statistics on the target population of youth with incarcerated parents. This data will be used to determine the needs of the local population. 10. Program Data collection – The Applicant must collect and report indicator data and program outcome information as required by the Evaluation Contract executed with the Office of Community Grant Management. Data collection will be required through the duration of the program. The following data outcome measures are the minimum measures expected of the selected Applicant. a. Number of hours of services provided per quarter b. Number of school aged children served by program c. Number of pre-school age children served by program d. Number of families served by program e. Number of parents f. Number of caregivers g. Number and percent of classes provided to participants h. Number and percent of participants receiving a referral for additional services i. Number and percent of participants which would recommend the program to others j. Number and percent of pre-school age children participating in the program that are assessed as being developmentally on the target for school success per Ages & Stages Questionnaire k. Number and percent of caregivers/parents of school aged children participating in the program that feel services provided by the program will help improve their child’s attendance These measures may be revised at the discretion of the OGM and GOCPYV. A. Parameters of the Award of Funds 1. The maximum award of $90,000 for the Intervention and Case Management for Youth of Incarcerated Parents program will begin on July 1, 2020 and end June 30, 2021 with an option by the OGM to renew the awarded Contract for up to two (2) additional years through fiscal year 2023. 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 GOCPYV, 2) the performance of the Applicant and 3) the goals/outcomes desired by the GOCPYV and OGM. III. POPULATION SERVED A. The program will provide services for youth ages 0-18 along with their parent/caregiver with at least one parent currently incarcerated at the Washington County Detention Center or Washington County Day Reporting Center. Youth and families of individuals who are transferred from the WCDC/WCDRC to other correctional facilities may participate in the program as long as they reside in Washington County, Maryland. Open Session Item SUBJECT: Contract Award (PUR-1465) – Insurance Brokerage and Risk Management Services PRESENTATION DATE: June 30, 2020 PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing and Tracy McCammon, Risk Management Coordinator, Human Resources RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the contract for the Insurance Brokerage and Risk Management Services to the responsible, responsive proposer, with the lowest proposal cost. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Proposals were seeking a team of industry professionals to assist and guide the County in identifying and managing the unique public sector risks and exposures encountered in its daily operations. The County accepted proposals from firms interested in providing the County with design of its risk financing program, including brokerage services, to include, but not be limited to, its property and casualty risk financing program for the County which would contemplate use of cost-effective self-insured retentions, insurance deductibles, and other risk financing techniques. Services will also extend to preparation of insurance specifications for the insurance market, marketing and solicitation of insurance quotations, placement of insurance policies at the request of the County and other broker services as enumerated in the Scope of Services contained in the Request for Proposals, including efforts necessary to insure those volunteer fire and rescue companies who are members of the Washington County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association. The term of the contract is for a one (1) year period tentatively to commence August 1, 2020 with an option by the County to renew for up to four (4) additional consecutive one (1) year periods thereafter contingent upon satisfactory annual performance by the Contractor and fiscal appropriations. The Coordinating Committee was comprised of the Interim County Administrator/County Attorney (Committee Chairman), Human Resources Director, Risk Management Administrator, Safety Compliance/Training Coordinator, and Director of Purchasing (Chairman Designee). The Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised on the State’s “eMaryland Marketplace Advantage” website, on the County’s web site and in the local newspaper. Twenty-eight (28) persons/firms accessed the RFP from the County’s web site. Five (5) firms was represented at the Pre-Proposal Teleconference. Submittals were received on May 7, 2020, from four (4) firms. The Qualifications & Experience/Technical Proposals of two (2) of the firms were considered responsive by the Coordinating Committee. The Price Proposals of those firms were opened. Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form DISCUSSION: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in individual departments for each of the lines of coverage. The present contract for these services was awarded in 2015 to Aon Risk Services, Inc. of Maryland at a cost of $250,000 for the five (5) years that ends July 31, 2020. Prior to having an Insurance Brokerage contractor, Washington County's insurance program had traditionally been handled on an exposure basis, i.e. policy specifications for each line of coverage (property, inland marine, general liability, etc.) had been put out for bid individually. Over time that resulted in over fifteen (15) separate policies negotiated through multiple agents or brokers. Each insurance carrier paid the agent or broker for services via commissions paid by the insurance carrier and passed on to the County via-premium payments. This process also tended to repeat the same carriers and agents from year to year due to the exclusive arrangements between carriers and agents. The "value added" services provided by the larger brokers were also not available to the County due to the piecemeal policy placements. By contracting with one broker to place the County's entire insurance program, the County has access to needed safety and risk management resources provided by the broker as a "value added" service. There is also greater access to carriers since the larger brokers have greater market access and technical expertise. In addition, placement of multiple lines of coverage with one carrier has provided more cost-effective premiums and additional limits. Since the broker is paid on a flat rate basis directly by the County and not through commissions paid by the carriers, premiums paid by the County are net of commission. Cost savings were substantial enough to offset the County's needs for additional areas of coverage (pollution liability, media liability, etc.) and additional liability limits. CONCURRENCES: As recommended by the Coordinating Committee. ALTERNATIVES: N/A ATTACHMENTS: N/A AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Open Session Item SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase (INTG-20-0034) Four (4) Dump Trucks for the Highway Department PRESENTATION DATE: June 30, 2020 PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director, Purchasing Department, Jack Reynard, Fleet Manager, Highway Department and Zane Rowe, Deputy Director, Highway Department RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize by Resolution, the Highway Department to purchase four (4) 4x2 Mack dump trucks from Potomac Truck Center, Inc. of Bladensburg, MD. The cost of each truck is $208,818 (extended warranty $3,318) for a total amount of $848,544 and to utilize another jurisdiction’s contract (#4400003267) that was awarded by Howard County, Maryland - Office of Purchasing. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Highway Department is requesting to purchase four (4) dump trucks to replace trucks that are nineteen (19) years old and exceed the County’s Vehicle and Equipment Types and Usage Guidelines. The County’s replacement guidelines for vehicles greater than 33,000 lbs. GVWR is recommended at a ten (10) year economic life cycle. The replaced trucks will be advertised on GovDeals.com for auctioning. 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 government of Howard County, Maryland - Office of Purchasing 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 the trucks in accordance with the Public Local Laws 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 purchase of the trucks because of the economies of scale this buying group leveraged. I am confident that any bid received as a result of an independent County solicitation would exceed the spend savings that Howard County, Maryland - Office of Purchasing 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. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the Highway Department’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) account (EQP042) in the amount of $1,068,000 CONCURRENCES: Deputy Director of Highway Department ALTERNATIVES: 1. Process a formal bid and the County could possibly incur a higher cost for the purchase, or 2. Do not award the purchase of the dump trucks. ATTACHMENTS: Potomac Mack Sales and Services, Inc. quote.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, to be kept and observed by the respective Parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration by each of the Parties hereto unto the other in hand paid, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 1. The introductory clause and Explanatory Note set forth above accurately reflect the understanding of the Parties and by this reference are incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Any and all defined terms as set forth in this Fifth Amendment shall have the same meaning and definition as set forth in the Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise hereunder. 2. In order to allow time for Seller to continue to obtain the successful resolution of the Appeal and cause it to be dismissed and finally resolved, the Closing Date set forth in Paragraph 4 of the 3 K17004\000002\4812-6968-6464.v2 Agreement is hereby further extended until the earlier of either the date the Appeal is fully resolved and concluded with no further proceedings pending or being pursued by Craig Mahrle or October 31, 2020; with it being expressly understood and agreed between the Parties that inasmuch as such extension is not due to any fault of Buyer, no extension fee or additional Deposit from Buyer is due or required. From and after the date hereof, any and all references to the Closing Date as set forth in the Agreement shall mean and refer to the earlier of the two dates detailed in this paragraph of this Fifth Amendment. 3. With respect to the Appeal, Seller hereby agrees to proceed to fully and vigorously defend the Appeal and immediately seek to have the Appeal dismissed or successfully concluded with prejudice so that it no longer constitutes a cloud of title and lis pendens on the Property; time being of the essence. Notwithstanding the extension of the Closing Date as herein provided, because of the Appeal, Seller acknowledges that: (a) while the Appeal is pending, Seller will not be able to convey the Property to Buyer in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement (as the continuing Appeal constitutes a “Title Defect” under paragraph 9. (a) of the Agreement which was not in existence of the date of the title report as described in such paragraph); and (b) in the event the Appeal is not resolved in the time contemplated or is resolved unsuccessfully, Buyer, in order to preserve and protect its current investment in the Property, shall have no alternative other than to avail itself of all rights and remedies under the Agreement, including but not limited to all of the Buyer’s rights under Paragraph 13 thereof. 4. In all other respects, not specifically modified in this Fifth Amendment, the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants, and agreements set forth in the Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, and any conflicts among the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Fifth Amendment shall be resolved in favor of the terms of this Fifth Amendment. Any and all defined terms set forth herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement, except as modified herein. 4 K17004\000002\4812-6968-6464.v2 5. The Parties do hereby expressly ratify and confirm all terms and provisions of the Agreement, as amended hereby, and nothing as set forth herein shall serve to nullify or constitute a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Agreement, including all of the Buyer’s rights under Paragraph 13 of the Agreement. 6. This Fifth Amendment shall only be valid and enforceable upon the execution hereof by the Parties and may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Fifth Amendment may be circulated to the respective Parties for execution by facsimile or other electronic transmission and such copy of this Fifth Amendment shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms, conditions, and provisions hereof. The signatures of the Parties need not appear on the same counterpart of this Fifth Amendment provided that each party has fully executed a counterpart hereof.
