Trappe approves joint‑use agreement with Talbot County for Home Run Baker Park
Summary
The council approved a revised joint‑use agreement for Home Run Baker Park with Talbot County; the county removed language making the town solely responsible for maintenance and operation, and the agreement must still be approved by the County Council to secure funds.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan reviewed the updated draft of a joint‑use agreement between the Town of Trappe and Talbot County for Home Run Baker Park. Ryan said the county removed the portion that would have required the town to handle all maintenance and operation; the agreement requires both jurisdictions to ensure the park is open to the public and nondiscriminatory in access.
Ryan told the council the joint‑use agreement still needs approval and signature by the County Council and that the agreement is a requirement to receive the funds. Commissioner Chase moved to approve the version before the council; President Newnam seconded and the council approved the joint‑use agreement unanimously.
Ryan said the town needs a plan for how park funds will be handled and that an agreement with Home Run Baker Park may be required to manage those funds; those implementation details remain to be worked out and documented.
