The Commissioners of Ridgely agreed to sponsor the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign at the $500 level after a presentation from Victor Reynolds of CASA.

Alex Willis of the Caroline Tennis Association outlined summer camp plans for the park.
During public comment Anna Mansfield read a prepared statement addressing Commissioner John Hurley. James Romph raised concerns about town employees’ salaries, overtime and Director of Operations David Crist’s contract; the meeting minutes do not record a response or a staff report addressing those specific concerns.
