Subcommittee recommends technical charter fix to 'days' definition affecting compensation timelines
Summary
The Administrative & Legislative Subcommittee recommended a narrow amendment to harmonize the charter's use of the term "days" with Maryland's definition for some deadlines, a change the subcommittee says would clarify timing for compensation review and council action.
Chair turned the meeting to Mister Horn, who reported the Administrative & Legislative Subcommittee had a single technical amendment to propose: clarify the meaning of the word "days" in charter sections affecting compensation timing. "The word is days, because the word days has 2 different meanings within the charter," Mister Horn said, explaining Maryland's definition excludes weekends while Prince George's County calculations include them.
Horn said the change would align the submission deadline for the compensation review commission's resolution when that deadline is derived from state law, while leaving the charter's local definition intact in other places. The subcommittee recommended approval and asked the full commission to consider the technical amendment at a future meeting; no formal action was taken during this session.
