Summary

Council approved six resolutions on consent and new-business items — including two solar contracts, a temporary open-container waiver for the Spring Arts Walk, authorization for opioid‑litigation signatories, CSO change orders and a comprehensive-plan change order — and tabled a pantry-lease resolution for further review.

The Frostburg mayor and council took action on several resolutions in new business.

• Resolution 2026-09 (approved): Council authorized two contracts with Sun Central LLC for separate solar projects that will provide energy credits to city facilities. Staff said the contracts reduce electricity costs by delivering credits and that a residential program for residents is under discussion.

• Resolution 2026-10 (approved): The council approved a temporary repeal of the open-container ordinance for the Spring Arts Walk on April 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., prohibiting glass containers and requiring all other alcohol and traffic laws to be observed.

• Resolution 2026-11 (approved): Council authorized city attorneys to execute documents for opioid litigation settlements. Resident Sean Major urged a PATHS audit and asked that settlement funds be tracked to direct services; staff said the city has not yet disbursed opioid-settlement money and noted statutory restrictions on allowable uses.

• Resolution 2026-12 (approved): Council approved an amendment increasing a previously approved CSO change order amount from about $43 to $406.19 to correct a project accounting detail on a $1.78M contract.

• Resolution 2026-13 (tabled): Council discussed and then tabled a proposed lease with the Foundation for Frostburg for operation of the food pantry at 126 South Water, citing outstanding contract details (insurance, maintenance) that staff will finalize for the May meeting.

• Resolution 2026-15 (approved): Council approved a change order up to $27,940 to Wallace Montgomery for supplemental engagement on the comprehensive-plan update (public-engagement/survey and a Vision & Guiding Principles chapter).

All listed resolutions were approved by voice vote where recorded except the pantry lease, which the council tabled to the May meeting for further verification of contract details.
