meeting were Commissioners Ronald L. Bowers, Richard E. Roulette, R. Lee Downey,
Linda C. Irvin and Martin L. Snook, Also present were Mayor Ernest Fink, and
Councilpersons Sally Fost, Arthur Burke and Larry Gerber and Town Clerk Debbie
Zies.
Barry Teach, County Administrator, stated that revenue sharing funds in the amount
of $27,936 due the Town of Hancock were waived to the County because the Town did
not follow reporting procedures to the Office of Revenue Sharing, and that the
Commissioners would return the money to the Town with the condition that proper
reporting procedures be followed.
Mr. Teach also explained that the payment in lieu of services for the Town in l986
would be approximately $l8,483 but that this amount may be adjusted based upon
audited expenditures.
Proposed uses for the property which was damaged in the flood at l75 West Main
Street in Hancock were discussed. Since $l2,000 is still owed to the State of
Maryland for the mortgage and $l0,000 to the County, appropriate State regulations
regarding the mortgage must be checked out before any action can be taken. Mayor
Fink stated that he feels the house should be demolished and a possible mini-
recreation area be set up. He also asked that the property be deeded to the Town
of Hancock if possible.
The Commissioners also discussed the transfer of 4.5 acres of land, adjacent to
Hancock High School, from the Board of Education to the County Commissioners, for
subsequent sale to Prowler Industries.
