Chesapeake City council approves waste contract renewal, security camera expansion and Little League land transfer
Summary
At its June 9 meeting, the Chesapeake City Town Council approved a one‑year renewal of the town’s waste contract, authorized Phase 2 of a security camera project including a $2,561.98 license‑plate reader, and accepted a no‑consideration transfer of 4.7 acres adjoining the Little League field.
Chesapeake City’s Town Council on June 9 approved three action items aimed at public services and recreation: a one‑year renewal of the town’s waste collection contract with Corey Sanitation Solutions, an expansion of the town’s security camera system including a license‑plate reader, and acceptance of a 4.7‑acre no‑cost transfer for the Chesapeake City Little League.
The council voted unanimously to renew the waste management contract for the fiscal year July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Councilmember Ed O’Hara moved to approve the contract; Hunter Dann seconded. Council discussion noted staff concerns about service quality but recommended monitoring the contractor and going out to bid if problems continue.
Councilmember Lee Adams moved and Hunter Dann seconded approval of Phase 2 of the town’s security camera project and the purchase of a plate‑scanner to be installed at Third and George Street. Council minutes record the scanner cost at $2,561.98 and mention that a potential $5,000 VLT grant could help fund the purchase. The motion carried with all councilmembers voting in favor.
On land, Cecil County Parks & Recreation offered a 4.7‑acre parcel off Luff Lane to the town for Little League parking and use. Town Manager Rob Bernstine will submit a letter requesting the property and examine updates to existing lease language; Frank Vari moved to accept the no‑consideration deed and Hunter Dann seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
