Senator William explains bill to create Baltimore County utility district to take over Chart Hall sewer
Summary
Senator William told a Senate committee the bill would let Baltimore County form a utility district for the Chart Hall community to assume ownership and maintenance of the existing Chateau/Choateau Sewer Association system; he said the district board would have "3 to 5 members" and the committee moved to have the bill "do pass," with unanimous support noted but no numeric tally in the transcript.
Senator William presented a bill to the committee that would allow Baltimore County to create a utility district to take over the ownership, operation and maintenance of the existing sewer system serving the Chart Hall community. He told the committee the system is currently associated with the Choateau Sewer Association and said the new district board would be appointed and contain "3 to 5 members."
"That's pretty much on the bill," Senator William said after outlining the measure and then yielded to questions. A committee member asked whether there had been a unanimous resolution on the legislation; the exchange in the transcript records the reply as "Yes," and the chair proceeded to call for a motion. The record shows a motion to recommend the bill "do pass" and a voice vote; the transcript records the procedural calls and notes unanimous support but does not include a numeric roll-call tally.
The article is based solely on the committee exchange in the transcript: the bill’s purpose (creation of a county utility district for Chart Hall), the identified affected system (Choateau Sewer Association, as named in the transcript), the board size described as "3 to 5 members," and the committee’s procedural handling (motion followed by a voice vote with unanimous support indicated). The transcript does not provide additional detail about implementation timeline, specific powers of the district, or a recorded vote count.
