Garrett County commissioners approve four resolutions advancing trails, MD 135 path, water plan amendment and set tax sale date
Summary
On April 6, 2026, the Garrett County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved four resolutions advancing a state park trail feasibility study, the MD 135 pedestrian and bicycle pathway final design, an amendment to the county water and sewer master plan, and the county tax sale date.
The Garrett County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on April 6, 2026, to approve four resolutions advancing local infrastructure and fiscal scheduling.
Resolution 2026–4 directs advancement of a feasibility study for a trail at Oakland–Herrington Manor State Park toward design, funding and implementation. Commissioner Ryan S. Savage moved the resolution; Commissioner S. Larry Tichnell seconded, and Chairman Paul C. Edwards announced unanimous approval.
Resolution 2026–5 supports advancing the MD 135 Pedestrian & Bicycle Pathway design report to final design, funding and implementation. Commissioner Tichnell moved the resolution; Commissioner Savage seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Resolution 2026–6 approves an amendment to the 2014 Garrett County Water & Sewer Master Plan; the board approved the amendment by the same unanimous vote pattern.
Resolution 2026–7 establishes the Garrett County tax sale date; the Board approved the resolution unanimously. The meeting record attributes the motions and seconds to Commissioners Savage and Tichnell in the patterns recorded in the minutes, and records Chairman Edwards making the approvals on each motion.
Why it matters: The resolutions enable the county to move preliminary planning and design work forward for recreation and transportation projects and update a long-range utility plan; setting the tax sale date establishes a procedural deadline for tax-collection enforcement steps. The minutes record no dissent and no detailed funding amounts or implementation schedules in the public meeting record.
What’s next: The minutes do not specify implementation timelines or funding sources; the resolutions, as approved, advance the steps toward design and funding but do not record final contracts or funding awards.
