Council reads many confirmations, amends planning fee schedule and backs enterprise-zone application

The council administrator read a large block of council resolutions confirming appointments and reappointments to many county boards and commissions, including multiple confirmations to the Board of Health, the Commission for Veterans and Military Families, the Human Rights Commission, the Economic Development Authority board, the Multimodal Transportation Board, the Planning Board, the Police Accountability Board, and others. The list included both new appointments and reappointments; specifics on background checks or selection criteria were not provided during the reading.

In the same sequence, the administrator introduced a resolution to amend a fee schedule previously adopted by the council to correct a Department of Planning and Zoning fee for approved plan revisions, and a separate resolution supporting an application to the State of Maryland to designate the Eastern Howard County Enterprise Zone under the Maryland Enterprise Zone Program. The readings were formal introductions; the council offered no substantive debate or votes on these items during tonight’s session.
