REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Chairman McCarty to present the annual report of the Police Accountability Board to the Board of County Commissioners. DISCUSSION: Public Safety Article of the Maryland Code Section 3-102, requires the Police Accountability Board(PAB)to submit a report to the Board of County Commissioners that 1) identifies any trends in the disciplinary process of police officers in the County, and 2)makes recommendations on changes to policy that would improve police accountability in the County. Data reflecting trends are outlined in the report. There have been no policy change recommendations but rather a recommendation for LEAs to provide reminders to officer of the LEA's respective "unbecoming conduct"policy. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: N/A ATTACHMENTS: 2024 PAB Annual Report AUDIO/VISUAL NEEDS: N/A Washington County POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY BOARD To: Board of Washington County Commissioners, Maryland. Fr.: Steven McCarty, Chair Person, Washington County Police Accountability Board Ref: 2024 Annual Report Washington County Police Accountability Board ("WCPAB")is adhering to mandates and regulations enacted by the Maryland Legislature, and the Washington County Police Accountability Ordinance. Part of the mandates for the WCPAB is to produce an annual report to the local government body, which this entails. 2024 PAB Activities The WCPAB has been meeting on a regular, quarterly basis with the heads of the Washington County Law Enforcement Agencies ("LEAs"). At least one member of the WCPAB participated in an optional PAB training by the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission ("MPTSC")in 2024. 35 Police Accountability Complaints were filed in 2024 with 2 complaints submitted directly through the WCPAB and directed to the relevant Law Enforcement Agency (LEA)to conduct the investigation. The other 33 complaints were submitted directly to the relevant LEA. It is most important to note that, while no policy change recommendations have been made by the WCPAB, a frequent topic of discussion at the quarterly WCPAB meetings is concerns of profanity used by police officers. 2024 Trial Board Activities As a result of only having one civilian member appointed and trained to participate on a Trial Board if needed, the WCPAB advertised for and accepted applications for new Trial Board Civilian Members. At their quarterly meeting in October 2024, the WCPAB reviewed the applications in closed session. Appointments of new Trial Board civilian members are anticipated for the WCPAB's next open session. It is noted that no Trial Board hearing was conducted in 2024 though that is not expected to remain the trend for this upcoming year. 2024 ACC Activities The ACC meets on a monthly basis, and reviews cases submitted by the LEAs and issues written determinations on these cases. Three (3) members of the Administrative Charging Committee ("ACC") did an additional 8 hours of training by the MPSTC. The ACC reviewed and made determinations on 37 cases. 9 of these cases were a result of complaints submitted in 2023 but as a result of time needed by the LEAs to complete the investigation, the ACC to review the file, the ACC needed to add the cases originating in 2023 to their meetings in January and March of 2024. The ACC awaits the investigatory file for the remaining 7 out of 35 complaints received in 2024. Washington County General Demographics of the 37 Cases Reviewed - 59 determination letters issued - 40 police officers named in at least one complaint - 27 cases involved Hagerstown Police Department, which has its own online portal making submission of a complaint much easier. - 9 cases involved Washington County Sheriff's Office - 1 case involved Smithsburg Police Department - 8 cases led to administrative charges found against officers The ACC's written determinations were returned to the heads of the LEAs and citizen complainant, if applicable. In addition to the three LEAs listed above, the ACC may review cases for Hancock Police Department, Boonsboro Police Department, and Hagerstown Community College Police. The ACC does not hear cases from any of the State Law Enforcement Agencies serving Washington County. Recommendations that come to the PAB from the ACC, have been shared with the LEA heads at the quarterly meetings. These recommendations/suggestions are not policy changes but rather 1) suggested improvements to the investigative formats or files that each LEA is using to submit a complaint/investigation to the ACC; and 2) suggestions regarding policy enforcement namely as it relates to what many LEAs' policies categorize as "unbecoming conduct."

RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize by Resolution, for the Department of Water Quality to purchase one (1) new 2025 Ford F-350 Extended Cab DRW 4x4 Truck from Apple Ford, of Columbia, MD in the amount of $144,307 and to utilize another jurisdiction's contract (#0004504)that was awarded by Baltimore County to Apple Ford. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Department of Water Quality is requesting to purchase one (1) new 2025 Ford F-350 Extended Cab DRW 4x4 to replace a vehicle that exceeds the County's Vehicle and Equipment Types and Usage Guidelines; The existing vehicle is a 2001 Ford F-350 -4X4 with 189,000 miles. The County initiated the Vehicle and Equipment Types and Usage Guidelines in 2001. The County's replacement guidelines for vehicles less than 19,500 lbs. GVWR is recommended at a ten (10) year economic life cycle. 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. Baltimore County 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 vehicle 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 from direct cost savings in the purchase of this vehicle 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 spending savings that the Baltimore County contract 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 department's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) account VEHO10 in the amount of$165,480.15. CONCURRENCES: N/A 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 truck.

RS-2025- (Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase [INTG-25-0177]2025 Ford F-350 Extended Cab DRW 4x4 Truck) RECITALS The Code of Public Local Laws of Washington County, Maryland (the "Public Local Laws"), § 1-106.3, provides that the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland (the "Board"), "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." Subsection (c) of § 1-106.3 provides that "A determination to allow or participate in an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing arrangement under subsection(b) of this section shall be by resolution and shall either indicate that the participation will provide cost benefits to the county or result in administrative efficiencies and savings or provide other justifications for the arrangement." The Department of Water Quality is requesting to purchase one (1)new 2025 Ford F-350 Extended Cab DRW 4x4 truck from Apple Ford, of Columbia, Maryland, in the amount of $144,307, and to utilize another jurisdiction's contract (#004504) that was awarded by Baltimore County to Apple Ford. Eliminating the County's bid process will result in administrative and cost savings for the County. The County will benefit with direct cost savings because of the economies of scale the aforementioned contract has leveraged. Additionally, the County will realize administrative efficiencies and savings as a result of not preparing, soliciting, and evaluating bids. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board,pursuant to§ 1-106.3 of the Public Local Laws, that the Department of Water Quality is hereby authorized to purchase one (1) 2025 Ford F-350 Extended Cab DRW 4x4 truck from Apple Ford, of Columbia, Maryland, in the amount of$144,307, and to utilize another jurisdiction's contract (#004504) that was awarded by Baltimore County to Apple Ford.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the purchase of four(4) Medical Ventilators for use by DES in the amount of$16,500 per unit for a total cost of$66,000 from Hamilton Medical, Inc. of Reno, NV based on its proposal dated January 14, 2025. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: This state-of-the-art ventilator is replacing the Revel ventilators currently in use in the County. A ventilator is a medical device used to provide artificial ventilation to a non-breathing patient. The devices provides consistent breaths to the non-breathing patient and allows the clinician to utilize various settings to optimize the ventilations to benefit the patient. Patients needing artificial ventilation include those in cardiac or respiratory arrest,those critically ill or injured patients requiring sedation, paralysis and intubation in order for the clinician to provide adequate ventilation and those patients who are on a long-term ventilator due to their medical condition. Washington County is home to two (2) inpatient ventilator facilities and having these devices will allow the EMS clinicians to continue to provide mechanical ventilation to this patient population during their transport from the facility to the hospital. Our 4 EMS Supervisor units provide advanced level skills to critically ill or injured patients requiring sedation and paralysis to control their breathing.

RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to approve the RAISE grant application by the Maryland Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington County Transit(WCT) and accept funds in the awarded amount provided by the Federal Transit Authority for the Expanding Rural Transit Options: Washington County Bus Facility Project and provide a letter of support for the application. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: This grant, if awarded, will fund the costs associated with planning and design for a renovated and expanded administrative, maintenance, and transit vehicle storage facility at Washington County Transit's current location at 1000 W. Washington Street Hagerstown, MD. The Maryland Department of Transportation/Maryland Transit Administration is applying for the grant on behalf of Washington County Transit who would be a subrecipient. DISCUSSION: Improvements to administration and maintenance facilities will provide additional space to meet current and future (year 2050) operational needs. These needs are supported by WCT's historic growth and its five-year Transit Development plan, which projects current annual ridership to increase by 30%from 2010 to 2030. The facility will allow the department to support transit operations and programs, by providing the necessary administrative space, fleet maintenance, storage, training and support future fueling and additional vehicle types. The facility is located in an area of persistent poverty and a historically designated census track, therefore would be eligible for 100%federal funding. The Hagerstown/Eastern Panhandle Metropolitan Planning Organization covered the costs associated with a WCT Facility Expansion Feasibility Study. The grant represents the first phase for planning and design of the future facility. A second grant would be required to provide the construction funds. WCT has been coordinating with adjacent property owners and the City of Hagerstown on the potential Quit Claim and closure of a portion of the alley behind the existing facility to allow facility expansion to occur as one building. The grant application has received numerous letters of support from municipalities, non-profits and transit stakeholders that benefit from WCT's services.

Wagner BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON C LINTY, MARYLAND January 30, 2025 Secretary of Transportation U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington DC 20590 Dear Secretary: On behalf of the Board of Commissioners of Washington County, I am writing to express our support for the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) request for funding from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program for its Expanding Rural Transit Options: Washington County Bus Facility Project(Project). The Project will modernize and increase Washington County Transit's (WCT)bus fleet maintenance and storage capacity, enabling the agency to provide more reliable, faster, and safer transit service in the rapidly growing Hagerstown area. The new bus facility will provide WCT with three-times more bus storage capacity, and additional maintenance and administrative space, all of which will be vital towards achieving the agency's goals of providing high-quality transit service. WCT serves one of the fastest-growing counties in Maryland, with its population expected to grow by nearly 16 percent over the next 20 years. The Project will ensure that current and future residents of Washington County can benefit from the region's growing economy via safe, affordable, and accessible public transportation. The Project strongly aligns with the U.S. Department of Transportations (USDOT)'s goals for the RAISE program. The new bus facility will enhance the economic strength and competitiveness of Washington County and Hagerstown by improving the reliability and frequency of local transit services, ensuring all residents, regardless their access to a vehicle, have the ability to commute to employment hubs in the area. Transit service improvements enabled by the Project will actively center equity by improving access to high-quality transit options. Lastly, the Project will directly address the climate crisis by making transit a more convenient transportation option, reducing emissions by encouraging car-free trips. We believe strongly in the Project, because it will provide the facilities necessary to provide the transit services the community needs to serve its citizens now and into the future. 100 West Washington Street,Suite 1101 I Hagerstown,MD 21740 11'! 240.313.2200 11,'! 240.313.2201 11it.�,i jitp,lrit�t,ji tatr�! 7-1-1 WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET Secretary of Transportation January 30, 2025 Page Two I encourage your careful consideration of the Maryland Department of Transportation's funding request.
