Pocomoke City council approves minutes and bills, holds first readings on fees and surplus property
Summary
The council unanimously approved several routine items — closed-session, open-session and work-session minutes and the bills list — and held first readings of a fiscal-year fee schedule (Resolution 2026-R-12) and a surplus-property resolution (2026-R-13). A council member raised a question about park budget details during the work-session minutes approval.
Pocomoke City — At its May 18 meeting the Pocomoke City mayor and council approved routine governance items and heard first readings of two resolutions on fees and surplus property.
The council approved the closed-session minutes and the open-session minutes from May 4, 2026, and later approved the May 7 work-session minutes after brief discussion. While reviewing the work-session minutes a council member asked whether the parks budget discussion included maintenance of shelters, houses and small pavilions; the mayor replied that the body was approving the minutes and suggested the member "circle back" with staff for details.
Council also voted to approve the bills list after a motion and second. The bills vote and the minutes approvals were recorded by voice (ayes).
The mayor read the first reading of Resolution 2026-R-12, which would establish the city services fee schedule for fiscal year 2026–2027 and, if adopted, would take effect July 1, 2026; the mayor said the fees are posted on the city website. The council also heard a first reading of Resolution 2026-R-13, declaring specified Market Street parcels surplus and authorizing their sale by private sale under the cited provisions of the Maryland Code.
The meeting recessed for five minutes after the annexation vote.
