Commissioners approve consent agenda including grants, open‑space plan and a detention‑center van
Summary
Allegany County commissioners approved a five‑item consent agenda including open‑space funding recommendations, a Homeland Security grant extension and an $83,380 van purchase for the detention center.
The commission approved a five‑item consent agenda that included grants, a recommended open‑space plan and equipment purchases.
Administrator Bennett summarized the consent agenda. Item A was acceptance of 9‑1‑1 board funding for specialist courses (amount listed in staff materials as $35), Item B was approval to accept a fiscal year "twenty 2" State Homeland Security Grant program extension through Nov. 30 administered through MDEM, Item C was approval of the fiscal year "twenty 6" GRAMA open‑space annual plan recommendations—10 projects totaling $289,000—that had been presented at a prior work session, Item D was approval to purchase a Ford Transit cargo van for the detention center for $83,380 to be paid from profits in the commissary fund and procured via a piggyback bid, and Item E authorized execution of a memorandum of agreement with the Potomac Islands airport authority for a state grant benefit.
The consent agenda was approved by motion and voice vote; the transcript records an "Aye" but no roll‑call tally. Administrator Bennett and staff said there had been no public comment on these items since the prior presentation and recommended approval.
Clarifying details: the open‑space plan includes 10 projects with a combined funding recommendation of $289,000; the detention center van purchase will be funded from commissary profits and uses a piggyback procurement from Howard County.
