Luis Murillo of Representative Glenn Ivey’s office addressed the Landover Hills Town Council on Sept. 23, said he had lived in Landover Hills, noted the case backlog at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and offered the congressman’s office assistance with grant work for the town.
Mayor Jeffrey Schomisch introduced Mr. Murillo before the presentation. Murillo said Rep. Ivey’s office “would assist the Town with any grants they are working on,” and described his experience living in the town. The council did not take formal action based on the briefing; the presentation was followed by routine consent-item approvals.
Council members welcomed the outreach and noted federal staff can be a resource when municipalities search for grant funding, but the minutes do not record any specific grants or grant amounts discussed during the presentation. Town staff or council members who wish to pursue grant assistance were not recorded as having taken any action at the meeting.
