County Council - Regular Meeting

Tuesday, May 26, 2026

The Harford County Council held a public hearing for Bill 26-009, a charter amendment regarding council members holding other government-paid positions. The bill, which aims to prevent conflicts of interest, sparked a contentious debate among council members and the public, with many speakers opposing it as overly broad and discriminatory. The council also approved the appointment of Brad DeLauder as the new county auditor and Henry Peden as a Harford Living Treasure, and passed four amendments to Bill 26-006 concerning the annual budget.
