On March 11, 2026 the Allegany County Committee of the Whole approved a referral to create and fill a deputy director position in Community Mental Health Services and moved the item to appear as a resolution on the current agenda. The referral was introduced and then moved by Legislator Hanchett and seconded by Legislator Hav; the committee voted to approve the referral.
An administrator clarified the procedural history of the item, saying, "I think that was just a referral that's gone through Human Services. It missed last week's personnel. ... it's actually going to be on today as a resolution." The administrator framed the referral as an administrative routing issue rather than a new policy proposal.
Committee members did not debate the policy details during the referral motion; the action documented in the meeting transcript was limited to confirming the referral and approving it so the resolution could be presented later in the agenda. The resolution text, hiring timeline, salary range and funding source for the proposed deputy director position were not specified in the public discussion.
Next steps: the referral was approved for placement as a resolution on the current agenda; any formal hiring or budget adjustments will depend on later resolution consideration and approval.
