The big news is still the difficult recovery coming out of this winter storm. Our crews are still hard at work. I know of at least two streets that have been missed, and our Public Works has been notified and plans on addressing them today and tomorrow. Other than that, most roads should have at least one lane that is passable. If you should have any remaining issues with snow on your road, feel free to log the issues with the City at the Report an Issue portal, email [email protected] or call 410-260-2211.
The City will also continue giving residents more time to get their sidewalks cleared of snow, but we will start to take enforcement action against property owners along school routes, with an emphasis on businesses and multi-family complexes in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. It is simply too dangerous for people and kids to walk in the roadways so we are doing what we can to get our sidewalks passable.
Mayor Littmann and I will be holding a joint Town Hall on February 5th at 6:30 at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck library. The Mayor wants to introduce you to the Department Directors. They will each tell you about the services they provide and how you can get involved or get in touch with them. We will be including the usual open Q&A at the end of the meeting. Hope to see you there! I could use help distributing flyers. The conditions of the sidewalks and roadways will hold us back, but if you feel you can safely distribute flyers, please let me know and I will let you know how to get some for distribution. But only do so if you feel you can safely walk around your community. In lieu of walking around, please spread the word to your neighbors via any community email or social media group that you may have access to.
As far as Monday’s Council meeting, we don’t have too much on the agenda, but you can find details on the two items up for a public hearing below.
Stay healthy and safe,
Rob
Next Council meeting – 2/2/25 (agenda)
This meeting starts at 7pm and will be televised on local cable, YouTube, Facebook, and the City website. You can submit public testimony at http://www.annapolis.gov/testimony. This will be an in-person meeting.
Public Hearings
- O-1-26 - Property Tax - Child Care Centers, Family Child Care Homes, and Large Family Child Care Homes. This legislation would create property tax credits for child care providers.
- R-1-26 - Fiscal Year 2027 Annual Statement of Performance Standards – This would approve the annual performance statements filed by the City agencies and departments.
Legislation being introduced on first reader
Nothing is being introduced on First reader at this meeting.
Legislation up for Second Reader (i.e final vote)
- R-2-26 – Establishing the order of succession for Mayor - For the purpose of establishing the order of succession for Mayor Jared Littmann if he is unable to serve due to temporary disability or absence from the City for longer than one day. This is a requirement per the code. Pending any input from you, I’m inclined to vote in favor. Succession is based on length of continuous service, so yours truly would be first in line.
