Board appoints two citizens and approves two grant applications

The Calvert County Board of Commissioners approved two citizen appointments and adopted two consent agenda items at its March 18 meeting.

Appointments: The board reappointed Ricardo Pierrick to the Student Safety and Well-being Advisory Committee and appointed Kamma Friedman to the Calvert County Blueprint Committee. Emily Shreeves, constituent services specialist, presented both appointments. Each motion was carried by voice vote with no recorded roll-call.

Consent agenda: The board approved two consent items: the Department of Parks and Recreation's Calvert County Youth Opportunities Recreation Fund FY2025 application, and the Department of Community Resources fiscal year 2026 transportation grant application. The consent items passed on a single motion and voice vote.

Why it matters: The appointments fill advisory roles that participate in local policy implementation and the approved grant applications allow county departments to seek external funding for youth recreation and transportation programs.

Details: Following staff recommendation there will be no vacancy on the Student Safety and Well-being Advisory Committee and one remaining citizen vacancy on the Blueprint Committee after the appointment. The motion to approve the consent agenda was also passed by voice vote; no further discussion on the items was recorded in the meeting transcript.
