Delmar Joint Council Meeting For June 2010
The Delmar Joint Council meeting for June was held tonight. All town meetings are being held a week early due to the Maryland Municipal League convention being held next week in Ocean City and the Maryland elected officials are attending. Delaware Elected Officials Mayor Outten, Councilman Thompson and Councilman Payne were missing. Their absent caused the Delaware Council to not have a quorum and thus could not officially approve or disapprove any Delaware issue. Normally, as an observer of town councils, I would have been merely disappointed in our elected officials not fulfilling the duties they were elected to do but tonight it pissed me off because I needed approval from the Delaware Council for my house design so I could get a demolition and construction permit from the town. A postponement of a month would have screwed up my construction schedule and relocation period with the insurance company.
Among some of the items either commented on by the town manager or actions the Maryland Council took were;
The police department have extended an offer to someone to be the animal control officer.
Public Works has hired a general laborer.
The Maryland Council approved Ordinance 712 permitting casinos and gambling houses in town.
The Maryland Council approved ordinance 713 to reduce the number of members on the MD Board of Zoning Appeals.
People are using the handicap sidewalk ramp at the old bank of Delmar as an exit from the parking lot. This is creating a traffic hazard and some type of blockage at that point is being looked at.
Vandalism continues with the bathrooms at Gordy Park. A security camera is being looked at and the money for it may come from left over funds from building the skateboard park.
September 25 is Heritage day in Delmar and a sponsor has been found that will pay half the fireworks costs.
Vice Mayor Michael Houlihan said he would go out on a limb and give approval to me for the house design, demolition permit and construction permit. The official vote will have to handled next month, if there is a quorum.
Cathay Crosby from the Delmar Library introduced herself to the town council.
The meeting was over with by 8:30 PM
