Hart, County Clerk Jeffrey A. Cline, President Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Open Session Item SUBJECT: Washington County Fire & Rescue Association Insurance Renewal, January 1, 2020 – January 1, 2021 PRESENTATION DATE: December 17, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Tracy McCammon, Risk Management Coordinator, Human Resources and Anthony Davis, Aon Risk Solutions RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to renew the commercial property, auto and casualty package with VFIS Insurance Company at the quoted premium of $337,317 and workers compensation insurance with Chesapeake Employers Insurance Company at the quoted premium of $513,123. Additional Cyber Liability is recommended and will be placed with Hiscox Insurance Company for a premium of $3,707.71. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Last year the insurance package was marketed by Aon and two proposals were received. VFIS submitted the lowest proposal at the time, therefore, there was not a need to market the insurance package this time. DISCUSSION: Due to the dependent and connected nature of data and technology that overlap between the County and the Fire & Rescue companies, we looked to minimize the risk of potential cyber-attacks, due to the increasing number of cyber-attacks in other municipalities. We have quoted in our renewal premium to increase our limits of coverage for cyber to $2,000,000. The Baltimore City cyber-attack earlier this year has cost them roughly $18 million so far. Also, with the ongoing financial audits, the Crime policy was increased to $250,000, Management Liability to $3,000,000 aggregate and our Excess Liability to $3,000,000 with $6,000,000 aggregate limit. FISCAL IMPACT: Even with recommended increases in limits, total premium for both programs is $854,147.71. Actual premiums paid for CY2019 was $947,311. There is a savings in premium of $93,163.29. We are well within the budget while needing to increase limits of coverage. VFIS requires a down payment of $83,545 due on January 1, 2020. The remaining balance will be paid in nine monthly installments. Chesapeake Employers Insurance also requires a down payment of $102,640 on January 1, 2020. Again, the remaining balance will be paid in ten monthly installments. CONCURRENCES: Director, Human Resources ALTERNATIVES: Complete market bids with a lapse in coverage ATTACHMENTS: N/A AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form Open Session Item SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase (INTG-19-0026) One (1) Body Scanner for Sheriff’s Office PRESENTATION DATE: December 17, 2019 PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing and Major, Craig Rowe, Washington County Detention Center RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize, by Resolution the Sheriff’s Office to purchase one (1) Body Scanner and related equipment from Sysorex Government Services, Inc. of Herndon, VA and to utilize a GSA contract No. GS-35F-210DA for the total amount of $149,000. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Section 106.3 of the Public Local Laws of Washington County grants authorization for the County to procure goods or services under contracts entered into by other government entities. On items over $50,000, a determination to allow or participate in an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing arrangement shall be by Resolution and shall indicate that the participation will provide cost benefits to the county or result in administrative efficiencies and savings or provide other justification for the arrangement. Acquisition of the equipment by utilizing the GSA contract and eliminating our County’s bid process would result in administrative efficiencies for the Sheriff’s Office as well as overall better pricing due to economies of scale offered by the subject contract. GSA is a nationwide strategic sourcing program designed by public purchasing professionals for use by government agencies and public-benefit non-profits throughout the country. The Sherriff’s Office would be purchasing a new body scanner to be used primarily at the Detention Center. Full body scanners provide an additional, crucial tool to intercept drugs, weapons, and other contraband. Reducing contraband increases safety for the officers and other staff and can assist with improving the outcome for inmates receiving substance use disorder treatment and recovery services by the interception of drugs being smuggled into the facility. Dangerous contraband, whether it be weapons designed to cause bodily harm, tools used to aid escape attempts, or illegal drugs that disrupt normal operations and cause health and safety concerns, is an operational safety and security challenge requiring constant line level and management level attention. DISCUSSION: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $167,750 are budgeted in account 600400-25-25010 for the purchase of the equipment. CONCURRENCES: Sheriff, Mullendore ALTERNATIVES: 1) Do not award the purchase of the body scanner equipment and process our own bid for the equipment in which pricing would not be as favorable, or (2) utilize the GSA contract which does offer better pricing because of the economies of scale.

Mason, P. E., Deputy Director, Department of Solid Waste RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve the acquisition of a Tracked Excavator for the Department of Solid Waste REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Department has two existing Excavators: #199 Caterpillar 345B purchased 2000, 18,000 hours and #235 LinkBelt 330LX, purchased 2008, 10,500 hours. These types of equipment have a life expectancy of ten to twelve years (10,000 to 15,000 hours). Staff will use the SourceWell National Contracts to procure the acquisition. DISCUSSION: The excavators are used daily to load the daily cover material and help grind brush for mulch. They are typically used six to eight hours a day, six days per week, approximately 2000 hours per year. As of November 14, 2019 the LinkBelt 330LX has had a major engine failure and will require approximately $50,000 worth of repairs. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding has been allocated in the FY21 budget to lease equipment for the Department.

Andrew Bright, Assistant County Attorney ; Sara Greaves, Chief Financial Officer ; Todd Hershey, County Treasurer RECOMMENDEDATION: For informational purposes REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Commissioners requested potential draft revisions of the Mobile Home Park Tax for consideration and discussion. DISCUSSION: The current tax on mobile home park rental income was enacted in 1963 and imposes a 15% tax on gross monthly charges received by operators of a trailer park or trailer court. Recent discussion involved reducing the rate of the tax and revising the language of the resolution, which has become outdated. Attached are two draft ordinances: Option 1 reduces the rate of the tax to 7.5%, Option 2 imposes the tax at a flat charge of $35 per space. FISCAL IMPACT: The current tax results in annual revenue of $550,000- $600,000. Option 1 would reduce the annual revenue to $225,000 - $300,000. Option 2 would reduce the annual revenue to $393,000. CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: Adjust the percentage or flat amount tax to such numbers as the Commissioners decide. ATTACHMENTS: Enabling Act-- Md.
