Landover Hills council hears open-data presentation from University of Maryland students; approves agenda and minutes
Summary
At its Dec. 15, 2025 meeting, the Landover Hills Town Council unanimously approved an amended agenda and multiple sets of minutes and received a Zoom presentation from University of Maryland students about an open-data project; the council also recorded routine finance and police reports.
The Landover Hills Town Council on Dec. 15, 2025, unanimously approved an amended agenda and several sets of minutes and heard a presentation on open data from University of Maryland students delivered via Zoom.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Jeffrey Schomisch, who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Councilman Todd Over moved to approve the amended agenda (items 5 and 4 switched); Councilwoman Kathleen Walker seconded, and all present voted in favor. The council then took the consent agenda, approving the Nov. 17, 2025 Council meeting minutes (as amended for an error noted by Vice Mayor Glenda Johnson), Dec. 1, 2025 workshop minutes and Dec. 1, 2025 closed minutes. Later the council approved amended sealed minutes after Councilwoman Kathleen Walker pointed out a misspelling in the sealed minutes ('Personnel' rather than 'Personal').
The University of Maryland students presented an open-data project to the council via Zoom and explained the scope of their work. The presentation was informational; no formal council action on the project was recorded at the meeting.
Town Treasurer Fredy Aguilar presented the November 2025 finance report and noted completion of the PNC (ARPA) audit. Interim Chief of Police Elnos Gomez presented the November police report. Code enforcement and public works reports were included in the meeting packet and were not discussed at length during the session.
Interim Chief Gomez also noted the Town Attorney will review an updated stop‑sign camera contract, a next step the council flagged for legal review.
The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
The council’s next scheduled items include a planned Youth Council meeting in January and follow-up on the attorney’s review of the stop‑sign camera contract.
