New Windsor receives 5K proceeds, hears facility and property updates and a siren change
Summary
At the Nov. 20 work session, the council recorded $2,400 proceeds checks to Caring Carroll and the Westminster Road Runners Club from the Frank Schaeffer Memorial 5K, a Podolak Associates survey completion for Geer Lane storage building, an unsold property at 1321 New Windsor Road, and an NWFD decision to change the 211 High Street siren from five to three cycles; council asked to hear from Danna Blumm before any public works restructuring.
The Nov. 20 New Windsor work session included several community and operational updates.
Proceeds from the Frank Schaeffer Memorial 5K were presented to local organizations: the minutes list $2,400 presented to each of Caring Carroll and the Westminster Road Runners Club. The presentation appears on the agenda as a community donation report; no council action is recorded beyond the presentation.
On facilities, the minutes note that Podolak Associates completed a survey for a public works storage building on Geer Lane and that a plan will be returned to the council in a few weeks. The council also discussed public works restructuring and indicated it wants to hear from Danna Blumm before proceeding with any restructuring decisions.
The minutes state that the property at 1321 New Windsor Road went to auction and did not sell. Separately, the NWFD discussed and approved reducing the 211 High Street siren from five cycles to three cycles going forward; the minutes record the department's approval but do not record a council vote on the siren change.
During public comment, a resident identified as Mrs. Wardan sought an update from the November council meeting about keeping chickens in town; the minutes record the question but do not include a staff response or policy clarification.
The minutes list upcoming meeting dates and record that the council later voted 5-0 to enter closed session at 7:42 p.m.; the minutes do not include additional materials or staff responses tied to these operational updates.
