Dorchester County renews leases for Boys & Girls Club and ShoreUp; approves six AEDs at county athletic sites
Summary
The council renewed two community organization leases — Boys & Girls Club (two-year, $0 rent, $30,000 capital) and ShoreUp, Inc. (five-year, $1 rent, $28,000 capital) — and approved installation of six AEDs at three county athletic locations.
Dorchester County Councilors on Nov. 18 approved lease renewals for two community service organizations and authorized the county to proceed with installing six Automated External Defibrillators at county athletic facilities.
Executive Operations Specialist Irene Barnes opened a public hearing on behalf of Recreation & Parks Director Duc Trieu for the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore, Inc. The council approved a two‑year lease renewal for 515 Leonards Lane through Aug. 31, 2027, with no monthly rent ($0) and $30,000 in funding for capital improvements. The lease includes two two‑year extension options and a clause addressing negotiations of annual rent and capital improvements.
The council also approved a five‑year lease renewal for ShoreUp, Inc. at 824 Fairmount Avenue through July 8, 2030, listing total rent as $1.00 and authorizing $28,000 for capital improvements. Both lease approvals were unanimous.
On a separate action, the council unanimously approved a request from Recreation & Parks, EMS and the Dorchester Emergency Medical Service Advisory Council (DEMSAC) to proceed with a proposal to install six AED units on county property: three at Hurlock Athletic Complex, two at School Street Athletic Complex and one at Christ Rock Park. The approvals were recorded without public opposition during the hearings.
