Baltimore County ACC appoints Christopher Tsui as chair, reschedules July meeting and authorizes closed-session review
Summary
At its June 6 meeting the Baltimore County Administrative Charging Committee approved minutes from May 2, voted to appoint Vice Chair Christopher Tsui as chair effective July 1, rescheduled the July meeting to June 27 and voted to meet in closed session to review investigatory files under county code.
The Baltimore County Administrative Charging Committee on June 6 approved several routine governance items: it approved the minutes from its May 2 meeting, voted to appoint Vice Chair Christopher Tsui as the committee's new chair, and rescheduled an upcoming meeting to ensure interim staff availability. The committee also voted to meet in closed session to review investigatory files under the Baltimore County Code.
Chair Joan Harris asked for a motion to approve the May 2 minutes; the motion was seconded and the committee approved the minutes. "Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. And the minutes are approved," the record shows.
Harris said she would reach the two-year mark in service and that Vice Chair Christopher Tsui "has offered to step up and take over that role." Joan Harris moved to appoint Christopher Tsui as the new chair; the committee voted in favor. The record indicates the appointment carries effective July 1. The motion as stated in the meeting was: "I would move to appoint Christopher Tsui as the new chair of the administrative charging committee." The meeting transcript records the chair vote as "All in favor? Aye," and the presiding officer said the vote "carries."
To ensure interim staff Lauren Phillips could attend, the committee moved to reschedule the July 11 meeting and instead hold a meeting on June 27, 2025, at 12 p.m. in Room 118 of the Baltimore County Historic Courthouse and by Webex. The committee passed the rescheduling motion: "Motion to reschedule the next meeting from July 11 to 06/27/2025 at 12 noon in this room or by Webex? Second. All in favor?" followed by "Aye."
Before adjourning the open session, the committee voted to go into a closed session "to review investigatory files as section 3 dash 3 dash 2 8 0 6 of the Baltimore County code and code marked 12.040.090.05." A motion to move into closed session was made, seconded and carried on recorded "Aye" votes. After the closed session the committee reconvened and adopted a motion to adjourn until June 27, 2025, at 12 p.m. in Room 118 and by Webex.
The meeting record shows affirmative voice votes for these motions but does not record roll-call tallies by member name in open session. Where the transcript records only the verbal "Aye" responses, the article reflects the committee's recorded outcome in the meeting minutes.
