The Delmar Joint Council September Meeting
The September Delmar Delaware and Delmar Maryland Joint Council meeting was held last night. The Town Manager was on vacation. Delaware councilmen Woody Payne was late to the meeting and Maryland Deputy Mayor Luther Hitchens was missing. My usual disclaimer is; I am not part of the council and what I write is my personal views, not the minutes, of the meetings. It is also just the parts I want to comment on or write about. If you want to know the real story go to the meeting.
The councils were basking in the results of a successful Sesquicentenntial week so there was no deep discussion of anything last night. Among the items discussed were;
The adoption of the Delmar Maryland Comprehensive Plan.
The Salisbury Wicomico Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO) Traffic study - one possibility is a stop sign being added to Chestnut street another possibility is the 35 mph sign on Bi-state Blvd being moved back south about a block.
The Maryland State Treasurer is requiring Delmar to establish a Debt management Policy
Public Works is reporting a number of water leaks around town
Mayor Outten gave the results of the Public Hearing for the proposed casino (Say NOcasiNO) 41 people signed in the log, 18 expressed an opinion, 6 in favor of the casino, 10 opposed to the casino, 2 undecided. In a show of hands 58 people signified, 27 in favor of the casino, 25 opposed to the casino 6 undecided. When the five written comments (against the casino) they decided 27 were in favor of the casino and 30 opposed. Since the Delaware council didn't get the vote in favor of the casino they were hoping for they have re-scheduled another public hearing at the fire hall for Wednesday October 21st at 7 PM. This way if they can muster enough people to appear in favor of it they can approve the casino at the October meeting.

Who is responsible for painting lines on Foskey Lane from Rt 13 to the railroad tracks? It has been over a year since the road was resurfaced and no lines yet. Is this the town's property or county or state?

Why don't you call Town Hall yourself instead of asking Howard to do so? 410-896-2777

Speeking of the McGuire's, it seems the town is bowing to their wants. They are the one's asking the town to put a stop sign in front of the house on E Chestnut St. There is already one at 2nd St and at S Bi State Blvd which essentially would be 5th St. Why have another one at 4th? It appears the police dept is on board too. Why? Who is kissing whos butt here.

The whole Maryland Commission kissed the PD's butt, so what else is new?
You're not going to even seriously run for office in Delmar unless you are willing to give the PD whatever they want.
You can see it if you watch closely as to who votes for what and how they vote.
One of my neighbors is on there and I know for sure they got there because of the PD's help.
