Rachel said the Soil Conservation dam-safety review for the project is estimated to finish in September and the traffic signal now has a lead time of up to 12 months. Because the realignment must occur while school is out for safety and logistics, she said the town is likely to stage work for next summer unless permitting and procurement are accelerated.

The town has capital funding approved for the project; Rachel thanked county staff and commissioners for a $520,000 contribution to the work. She said the extended procurement and permitting timeline will allow the town to avoid a rushed request for proposals and to have staging ready so crews can begin as soon as school is out the following year. Rachel said the Board of Education is aware of the schedule implications and that local stakeholders have been coordinating on timing and funding.

No new start date was set; Rachel said she still hopes a summer timeline remains possible but described next summer as the most likely window absent a \"miracle.\" The item remains in active implementation planning rather than construction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Evening Meeting - June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Town staff told commissioners the Chase Sixth Boulevard and Campus Avenue realignment is unlikely to be completed this summer because a dam-safety review is not expected until September and the traffic-signal lead time can be up to 12 months.","taxTitle","Washington County, Maryland","taxId",4677,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6536181,"Resident says mini-mart installed unpermitted exhaust; fire marshal found violation, town legal role unclear",229,777000,1006000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3806708-cd7b3aaeee57d0eb1138e77cf36a3781&start=777&end=1006","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3806708-cd7b3aaeee57d0eb1138e77cf36a3781/thumbnail_777000.jpg","/articles/6536181/Washington-County/Maryland/Resident-says-mini-mart-installed-unpermitted-exhaust-fire-marshal-found-violation-town-legal-role-unclear","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536181-a65ae5ca5698388d7471c63b09be90c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775486348&Signature=MLF5UNTQoW6PJlR8w6Zg6G75qupxSJmmZBS9m9EVKaBUtcJb~BAinI-Nw92ZzpLsNKwjrPLN8X2Hr7I9~Xn0krFmP0YUfHPNypgWIEhhufS1P0FdctEGu14Yavb5P-2jWCFYMOkagrKxjpECuBJhzmRvrofZrvgo9bfMzIV-ESWsFk22ZmejBQsmdMn1vijb07qZJnGyEZaEsKozmzTFFyk71KJEHrbI~mssXqTh2Y6xfHhRHMT~TFqXNLhllUtNIHu1mDu5jw-1vyG7QYjNOM2kQnoZLQuWVDkljERf1DsvseiulJTHZQcHLzCOxFANS6qhKpLnxGs21CxEQsDpYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rachel (staff member for the Town of Boonsboro) told Washington County commissioners that residents Lee and Mrs. Dougherty reported a new exhaust fan at the mini-mart and diner next door to their home at 21 South Main Street.

Rachel said the mini-mart owner installed the kitchen exhaust without first obtaining a town zoning permit. She told commissioners the county fire marshal, Joe Goodrich, inspected the installation and \"confirmed that it is a violation\" and \"would not sign off on it because it's a hazard.\" Rachel said the current business owner initially hired an unlicensed contractor, has since hired a licensed contractor, and has installed a deflector shield while pursuing permanent compliance.

Residents told the town they want enforcement that would require the owner to remove the exhaust. Rachel said the town’s understanding is that the county department is now working with the owner and that the town may have limited authority while the county is engaged. She said she will meet the town attorney the next morning at 9:00 a.m. to clarify legal authority and next steps.

Rachel and Greg Cartwright (public works superintendent) have been working with the owner to bring the installation into compliance with applicable codes; Rachel said the owner intends to meet requirements referenced in the meeting — the Maryland state fire code, NFPA 96, NFPA 90, and the 2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — but funding the corrective work is a concern for the small-business owner. The resident complaint covers fumes, grease and high noise levels as the main impacts.

No formal enforcement action was announced at the meeting; commissioners heard the update and did not vote on any directive. Rachel relayed the residents' concerns and said she would report back after consulting the town attorney.","A Boonsboro resident complained to county commissioners that a mini-mart installed a kitchen exhaust without local permits; the county fire marshal deemed it a hazard and the town says the county is handling enforcement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6536185,"Boonsboro says reservoir replacement on track; Crestview bypass faces funding gap",408,1015000,1423000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3806708-cd7b3aaeee57d0eb1138e77cf36a3781&start=1015&end=1423","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3806708-cd7b3aaeee57d0eb1138e77cf36a3781/thumbnail_1015000.jpg","/articles/6536185/Washington-County/Maryland/Boonsboro-says-reservoir-replacement-on-track-Crestview-bypass-faces-funding-gap","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536185-0a18df5cf51020107886e9ae00b48b91/orig.mp4?Expires=1775486348&Signature=QFXlJMTzHqsdFpVYEor~VNiS5T8ojYrxvTAbj34xZlu6WrSI~wp7qRw5KBlCKLqdumOxM7Yhl9grMKJzVRx~9I2bwfaUh876qWycfdBjvWlUaobfgqO-NiThWpWqQsva2P0tgGcAL2T1Q03prbkECw5sVe0MP2Yf94x95u0p2tqRhVHOLRjVNWT11-Hf-ZvLxtKqPzvqCUQDf6nIx9w-cKVYeWRKz1lwntO8rym0m5ouP8ziyE87tbHrPVqRMH3cu6tlJK0eId9Z0vC3BCqa-A8ibnWLqACfaGt83AHbALeL~5vKhfd2ghIObJ9xsk85YYFb99rqDNAbCrapq0ukbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rachel (staff member for the Town of Boonsboro) told Washington County commissioners the town completed a water-line switch to the new system this week and remains on schedule to finish a reservoir replacement in June 2026.

The update matters because the reservoir and related work provide drinking-water capacity and redundancy for Boonsboro. Rachel said the new reservoir will hold about 1,000,000 gallons divided into two 500,000-gallon tanks so one tank can be taken offline for cleaning while the other supplies the town.

Town staff briefed commissioners that the county previously provided $1,400,000 toward the reservoir. Rachel said reservoir bids came in lower than the engineer’s estimate, but a separate Crestview Water Pressure Reduction and Bypass project carries a larger funding uncertainty. The engineers’ estimate for the Crestview project is between $1,600,000 and $2,100,000, plus roughly $70,000 for engineering and design; depending on final costs the town expects a funding shortfall of either about $335,000 or about $835,000.

Rachel described next steps for both efforts: finish the remaining water-line tieover (one day of work), pour footers and slab for the new tank once the supplier (Dutchland) arrives, and complete permit review for the Crestview plans, which are at roughly 90% design.

The town also reported other water and wastewater changes that affect operations. A sludge dewatering press at the wastewater plant is finished; Rachel said the installation went about $151,000 over budget but will save about $148,000 per year on biosolids removal. The Shafer Park well is now online and the old well has been decommissioned. Rachel also noted the Shafer Park walking trail is complete and is about a mile long.

Town and county officials did not announce any new county funding at the meeting; Rachel did not provide a final funding source for the Crestview shortfall. Commissioners present praised town staff for project management and said they would continue communications as costs and bids are finalized.

Looking ahead, town staff said the reservoir completion remains on the calendar for June 2026; further work on associated pressure-reduction components depends on permit approvals and final contract bids.","Town staff told Washington County commissioners the new 1,000,000-gallon reservoir is being switched over and remains on track for June 2026, but a related Crestview pressure bypass project faces a $335,000–$835,000 potential shortfall.","actionData","errors"]
