Hampstead council reappoints election supervisors, awards janitorial and water contracts
Summary
At a February meeting, the Hampstead Mayor and Council reappointed three members to the Board of Supervisors of Elections and approved two contracts: janitorial services to MultiCorp and water distribution improvements to Mid Atlantic Utilities.
The Hampstead Mayor and Council voted to reappoint three members to the town’s Board of Supervisors of Elections and approved contracts for janitorial services and water distribution improvements during their February meeting.
The council reappointed Laurie (last name not specified in the record), Christine Conure and Marlene Duff to two-year terms on the Board of Supervisors of Elections. The appointees took the oath of office on the record, swearing to support the U.S. Constitution and the laws of Maryland and to “diligently and faithfully” perform the duties of the office. The council approved the reappointments by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The council also awarded a janitorial-services contract to MultiCorp. According to the discussion on the record, the town solicited bids after concerns that prior contractors were not meeting standards; MultiCorp is the prior vendor and was selected to resume services. The motion to award the contract passed by voice vote; no detailed vote tally was recorded.
Finally, the council approved a contract for water distribution system improvements and awarded the work to Mid Atlantic Utilities. The town received two bids; Mid Atlantic Utilities was the low bidder and the council approved proceeding with that company by voice vote.
The council’s recorded remarks did not provide dollar amounts for either contract, and no roll-call vote counts were given. The transcript records the motions and the recorded outcomes (approved) but does not specify who moved each motion in all cases. Where the record records only a voice vote, the article reports the outcome as approved and notes that no roll-call tally was recorded.
