Ladies and gentlemen, we call this meeting to order. The mayor board of commissioners for May the 12th, 2026. Can I get the roll call, please? Emily Kleiner here. Frank Dalling here. Augie Pearson here. Let the record show you have a quorum. Thank you. Will you rise for the pledge of allegiance, please? Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Right. Would you mind doing a prayer? Thank you.
Father, we thank you for this day and for this town and the responsibilities that you have given us here. We seek you for wisdom and that and your guidance in every way, for your protection over our first responders, Lord. and that you would um bless each family in this town and prosper them in every way in Jesus name. Amen.
Thank you. First on the agenda is the approval of a consent agenda. Town administrator, do you have that? Yeah, you what you have in front of you is the approval of the April 21st, 26 town meeting video summary and the approval of the May 7th, 2026 town meeting summary, which was the budget um hearing and then uh the list of upcoming town meetings, June 9th, 2026 and July 14th, 2026. and that is contingent upon us not needing to schedule another meeting in June if need be for the budget. Thank you. Town administrator, could I get a motion to approve the consent agenda? So moved. Second.
It's been moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor? I passes. All right. Moving forward into citizens input. Would anyone like to speak this evening? Anyone? All right, moving forward into staff reports. Town administrator.
All right, the one thing I wanted to cover tonight is the u the demolition process. There's a couple items that I wanted to cover with that. Um, you see the advertisement that we put that we put in the uh in the newspaper. Uh, we put it in the newspaper and we've advertised it on our website and through social media at the same time. Wita, the last I spoke to you, we had had like five inquiries last week. I think we're up to seven or eight. We got people trying to get the meeting downstairs and they can't get into the door. Sorry. No, thanks for letting us know. Um,
seven or eight. Seven or eight is what we have. Um, mayor, would you like me to hold up for a second so those folks can get up because that's really the only thing we're I have to talk about. So, we'll wait. We unfortunately have a we have old technology on the front door door lock system and the body supposed to be someone else in the audience as well that I was expecting to be here but maybe Yeah. Anybody know any good jokes? What was Chewbacca's favorite beer? What?
Old Mill Wookie. Yeah, that's the only joke I know. All righty then. Come on, Flack. You have one. This is what I get for making you start on time. This is just all bad karma. Yeah. Nah. Yeah. Yeah. We're good.
So, again, for the people live streaming, um, we had a problem with our front door and there were a couple folks that sent text messages saying they're trying to get in and the door was locked. So, we're just holding the meeting up for them to be able to get up here. By the way, if you live in town and you want the upgrade on the phone today, very very uh efficiently as soon as Good.
All right. Town administrator, go ahead.
Yeah. Um, so we'll pick up the meeting again. We wanted to allow allow the folks at the front door to be able to get up here. Um, so what I wanted to go over was the invitation to bid for the three properties along Main Streets. Um, we've advertised that at a a variety of different places. As Wanita just said, we've received about seven inquiries to get our bid specifications. Um, that's a good thing. Whenever you do a bid, you have it's it's a better pool, so to speak, when you have multiple people applying. We've had, just to give you an idea, we've had one, two, three million dollar projects in the past. Well, we've been lucky to get one RIP on it. And so that that's not a really good feeling because you got to go ahead with the project and you don't know necessarily whether or not you're getting a good price on it. So getting seven is very um
yeah that's good
encouraging. So the properties in question are 16 Main Street, 13 Cherry Street, and 19 Cherry Streets. And we're looking for someone to come in and put all the the security fencing around it. We're taking care of cutting off utilities and getting the property stabilized. From that standpoint, a contractor will come in and they will uh demo the property uh all three. We're sort of anticipating that they'll probably start with the Jensen property on uh Cherry Street because that will give us the ability to pull down the property at 16 Main Street from behind. And that is a huge financial savings because if you've ever walked in the city of Baltimore or something like that and you see folks doing demolition, they've got to have barriers out on the sidewalks. They got to have traffic control because they have to set their cranes and everything up out in the street. In this particular case, because we can take the property down on Cherry Street, although we still have to protect the sidewalk in front of it, the building for the most part can be pulled down from behind. And so that'll save us a significant amount of money. We are having a pre-bid meeting tomorrow um here in this room at 2 PM for the folks out there live streaming. The reason why you do a pre-bid meeting is just to give uh potential contractors or interested parties the opportunity to basically come in and say, "I see this written here. What exactly are you looking for? What does this mean? Would you accept an alternative to that?" So, let's segue into that. It's not uncommon in a project like this to have change orders
or bid addendums where somebody might read our bidspec and and say, "Hey, there's a better way to do this. Would you be open to it?" And whenever somebody asks a question of us, we will send an email back to everyone who has requested a bid package so that we can let them know here is a question that was asked and here's what the response is and yes, we're going to accept that alternative or no uh whatever because uh pre-bid meetings are not mandatory meetings. They are uh voluntary. So, we want to the goal here is to be uh as fair and equitable across the board as you can be. And then even though we have a pre-bid meeting tomorrow, we will accept questions up until May 20th. So, people, you know, can as they're walking down the street and, you know, there's a big tree in the property and they want to know how the big tree is going to be handled. If the bid specs don't spell that out, they can request that information and then we'll give everybody an equal footing in the bid process by an telling everybody what the question is and how we answered it.
Hey Cal. Yeah. Do they get a walk through as part of the pre-bid meeting or is it just a like an inside? It could be either or. We'll probably ask tomorrow if anybody wants to walk around the property. Um they're free to walk around the property. Um and maybe if they ask us spec uh particular types of questions, we might say, "Hey, let's walk over there." Sure. And take a look at it.
Um the bids will be due on Monday, June 1st, uh 2026 at 2:00 p.m. And we'll take about a week or two to review these uh bids and make an award. And then we're hoping to start the demolition the week of June 22nd. That's what we're trying to coordinate is that week. Um the biders have 75 um consecutive calendar days to complete the project. I don't think it's going to take that long. um a a a request for action I was going to ask of you folks would our our procurement procedures do not necessarily require the elected body to approve all bids and proposals that come in. But on these particular things, sometimes it just feels a little bit better, you know, to at least give you guys the opportunity. However, the timing of our meeting is not going to work. And if we want to hit the ground running on June 22nd, then um we can't wait till June 14th for our next or whatever that whatever the next meeting is to do that. So, I was going to ask if the elected body was okay with us, the town attorney, myself, and the engineer reviewing all the bid specs and making that award to the most qualified uh bidder. Are you guys fine with that,
Calvin? We've we've done that in the past. Yes. Yeah. and and we have and and sometimes I like to come to you with some things that are a little bit out of the ordinary and tearing down three buildings in the downtown area is a little out of the ordinary.
Cal, the one thing that I would add uh just so the elected body knows uh as of right now that uh date is tenative based upon DHC's schedule. The secretary will be coming up obviously because they've invested a significant amount of money into the project. Um, and we're going to plan a uh a ceremony to mark the occasion. Uh, in addition, there will be fencing that goes around after the demo that will uh protect the neighboring properties as far as setting a boundary. Right. So,
so the other thing that I wanted to do and this is this is sort of part of our our educational series we always try to do behind the municipal curtain and that's we always try to pull the curtain back to let people know what happens behind the scenes and the town got the town applied for these grant monies about probably about maybe 16 to 18 months ago and I know that people have gotten frustrated because as we have been um notified that we're going to get the money, that doesn't mean that the state sends you a check the next day. And so we have been waiting for their procurement process to go through um for us to be able to do that. And we really didn't get notification to be able to move forward. And even with that, we had to maybe sort of get the state to be a little bit creative in the thought process because whenever you get a grants, not all grant, think of it this way, when you're doing big projects, you have to pay somebody to do all the leg work to figure it out what it is you want to do. So, for instance, for us to put this grant application together, we probably spent I'm going to say maybe $10,000. that's not reimburseable under the grant program because in order for me to put the grant together, I have to engage the engineer to take a look at the property and sort of anticipate what might be required of it, storm water management, and then we got to put all that together in uh a packet and send it to the state for them to say, "Yeah, that looks good." So, you spend about 10,000 on this particular project and you don't get reimbured for that. And even though they tell you you're going to get the money, you can't start
incurring expense until a drop deadad date. And in this particular case, our drop dead date was June 1st. And so rushing to get it all done and award the bid back in March and April sounds good, but we would not qualify for reimbursement of the funds because they didn't occur. So when people get frustrated about why it's taking so long, it's in many cases it's it's beyond our control because we have to deal with the funding agencies. And that's true with I'm going to say maybe close to $2 million alone of grant monies that we have been awarded in the last year. But we can't do anything until you reach those magic deadlines. With that, let me segue into um and I've talked about this a lot.
Calvin, can I ask one question here? Sure. I don't know what your bid prop bid look like, but they are going to leave that with a finished surface that is level with the existing sidewalk. Yes. Okay. Yeah. It will not be pavement. It'll be it'll probably be crush and run kind of thing. No, I just didn't want it want them to leave where the basement where they excavated the basement. Want to make sure those basements were filled.
Yeah, they all have to be filled per engineering guidelines and compacted because we want to be able to have it might be another two years or so before we're able to get the funds to build a parking lot there. We have to deal with storm water management. So in the meantime, we want to have a crush and run surface there so that people we can start accommodating parking needs for our businesses in the future. So yes, it'll all be level grade. Now, I think it's also important to throw out there that one of the reasons why we have to put the fencing up is we can't just have people picking how they want to enter this vacant piece of land. In other words, you're not going to be able to drive down Main Street and say, "Hey, make let me make a left and jump the curve on Main Street to go to the parking lot." So, we have to coordinate coordinate that or coordin. So, to be clear, the access to that parking lot will most likely be around on Cherry Street, probably right in the driveway where the Jensen property is now to be able to drive right up into there. So, the other thing I wanted to bring everybody up to speed on, and there's a lot of reasons to be very excited in the town of Rising Sun, and although it is it's it's the same, we're getting the funding, but it takes time for all the the ink on the agreements to be dried. We did get a million dollar grant to build our own solar panel array and we could do it in one or two places. We could do it down at the wastewater treatment plant or we could do it over at Plumpton Park Zoo. And let me set that to aside for a second. For years, as some of the elected body know, I have been approached so many times about third party vendors. the same when they come to your house and say, "Hey, put solar panels on your house." They want
to do that for the local municipality. And they over the years, we've had a handful of them that have come in and said, "We'll put solar panels in around your wastewater treatment plant and we can reduce your electrical footprint by $12,000." Well, all they're really doing is paying us a lease on the land for $1,000 a month. And as Auggie and Travis remember, they would get so mad at me because I kept saying all the time, those solar panel companies make their money by selling what are called racks. And though that's sort of an acronym for credits that are worth value of how much green energy is pumped back into the electrical grid and you can sell those racks to other companies. That's why when a solar panel company comes in and and gives you this great deal to put solar panels on your roof, the reason why they're doing that is because they own the rack credits and those rack credits can be very lucrative. And so I've never been able to get a solar panel company to give us at least a portion of those rack credits, which meant they were telling me basically give up all the land around our sewer plant to put solar panels on it and they would pay us $1,000 a month. We'd get $12,000. But more importantly, if we ever have issues with our treatment plant, which we've had in the past, we would lose all the available land we have to do something, whether it's spray irrigation, build a bigger plant, whatever it is, we would lose that. And if they're only giving us $1,000 a month, we can sell that to an Amish farmer and never give up our land rights and just let an ar an Amish farmer plant
corn or whatever there. So, we've always held our ground. The most recent company that came in though had said that the law had been changed and now we could apply for a grant through the federal government to get and own our own solar panel array. So that means we're going to own the racks and we will generate enough electricity to eliminate all the electricity needs of the town government, not the town. It's not a community solar panel system. It's it's specific for the town. So, right now, we're paying about $115,000 a year in electric bills. That will all go away. Plus, we get about $50,000 a year of rack credits back. So, it's like a $150 some odd thousand windfall to the town. But that doesn't work unless we get the grant. So, we applied for a grant. We got the million-doll grant. In addition to that, one of the things the Trump administration did recently was, and I don't want to speak for anybody, but I sort of got the feeling that the Trump administration is not as enamored with green energy as other folks may or may not be. But one of the things they did do was change the IRS laws that although they want to ratchet that funding out over a period of time or I think they want to phase it out over a five-year period, they change the IRS regulations. And what I mean by that is if Wanita is a private citizen and she got this grant and the grant does not cover the full cost of the solar panels, she can she can take the remaining a percentage of the remaining amount of money that it cost her to have the solar
panel built and deduct that against her IRS taxes on it. Would they change the law to allow local government to do that? And so even though we're tax exempt, we're going to receive about a $600,000 check from the IRS when it's all said and done on top of the million dollar grant to put these solar panel arrays in there. Now, I said we could do it one or two places. We could do it at the wastewater treatment plant, but again, I don't think it's a good idea for us to give up our footprint for future environmental issues that might happen. It's no secret that we have been trying to build a partnership with the Plumpton Park Zoo. So, a public private partnership. So, we're in the process of negotiating that out with the zoo. And one of those would be to build a this solar panel array on their property because part of the public private partnership would be sort of a co- quas sort of ownership of that whole enterprise out there. And so we could build the solar panel array there, get all the benefits to it, and also eliminate their electricity footprint at the same time, which takes that organization and allows them to redirect their money into the animal exhibits and the family experience and and all that instead of paying an electric bill. So that's just one of the branches that we're pursuing of building a good relationship with the Plumpton Park Zoo because again the Cecil County has a population of what just under a 100,000 or 104,000 people and the Plumpton Park Zoo gets about 125,000 visitors a year which tells you how far and wide people are coming to the zoo. So the more we make them successful, the better it is
economically for our community because that's people coming to the community that are then coming back to Rising Grind and uh Rising Sun uh Sunrise Grill and Lur's Place. It's bringing uh disposable income into the community. So, you heard me talk about this months ago where I talked about our goal is to create an economic ecosystem where it all feeds itself. That's just one of the components of it. The other thing, and you've heard me talk about this a lot, is when and Cal, we'll be uh we'll be uh uh mindful of the type of soil and class that we put Yes.
those solar panels on and yes, that all all that will be the countyy's regulations and and all of that also. Um, and they're actually we're actually contemplating the idea of building a solar panel array that fits over a new constructed parking lot for them. Yeah. So, you get a little bit of rain cover and then it's over a MacAdam parking lot that they're going to be perfect. Yep.
Um, that's just going to require more money. We'll have to we'll have to try to find more money for that. Um, in the past I've talked about when we had to build a new wastewater treatment plant, the amount of money for our residents was a lot. And we all know that because our sewer rate is very high now. And we were able to uh MDE was gracious enough to tell us that we did not have to decommission the lagoon. Meaning the lagoon is a biological process where all the bad stuff comes into the lagoon. It takes a certain amount of time for it to go through a natural process. There is a biological anorobic process that eats away the bad stuff. The good stuff is injected with oxygen and then it's allowed to flow out into the stream. That's a lagoon system. When we built our new wastewater treatment plant, it would it would have been at that time about $1.5 million to decommission the lagoon. So when residents think about the fact that we spent $16 million to build the wastewater treatment plant and our sewer rates are where they are at just having to pay another 1.5 to decommission a lagoon would have bought that price up and then we also would have had to build a belt filter press at that time that was like another $1.5 million. So what we were able to do was offload our sludge into the lagoon because engineering wise we were never going to produce enough sludge that natural degragation would not be able to stay ahead of the sludge so we could use the lagoon for a period of time is basically a holding tank for the lagoon but that wasn't going to last forever. So at some point in time we had to
decommission the lagoon. 2012 numbers were like $3.5 million to do that. Obviously, they're much higher now. And then you've heard me talk about um the EPA's regulations on cleaning up the waterways in the Chesapeake Bay. It's called MS4. It has to do with taking bad stuff out of rainwater, which can be grass clippings. Salt that you put on the road, things that businesses dump out on the ground get into the storm water that goes into the the streams affects the aquatic life, which affects the Chesapeake Bay, which in turn affects the economy of Melon because the aquatic life takes a beating on it. So, there's a thing called an MS4 where we have to reduce what I like to call our nutrient footprint by 20%. Everybody's heard of carbon footprint. I always call it the nutrient footprint because the EPA has said all the states have to lower their nutrient levels by 20%. They just pass that on to the counties and the towns. And so, we have to reduce our nutrient footprint by 20%. And we had to do that by December of 2025. We had a study done back in I'm going to say 2021 that said it was going to cost $2.75 million at that time to do that. And again, we're in budget season. So I think it's helpful again behind the municipal curtain to see what's involved in the decision making. We collect $1.1 million of real estate tax. So when the feds and the state are telling us we got to spend $2.75 million to do basically an unfunded mandate, where does that come from? It comes from raising the real estate tax, which if you just do the simple math, we would we would have easily had to double the real
estate tax to generate the money in one year's time to be able to pay for this unfunded mandate. So what we did back in 2023 under what is called brick funding through the federal government, it's done through basically FEMA, um the Federal Emergency Management Association, and we were able to put together a package that said our lagoon because it now has an underground spring in it, whenever we got a heavy rain, that rain would run across the farmer's field and go into our lagoon and run the risk of the lagoon overflowing. And remember what I said about our sludge, all that bad stuff is being stockpiled in there. So, we were able to make an argument to the federal government that this is a potential hazardous material situation and you should give us a grant to fix it. Well, the federal government agreed. And we were one of about 75 applications in the entire country that got funding. And so we got that funding, but when the Trump administration came in in January of 2025, they were feeling a certain way about how that money was being allocated. And one of the first things they did was suspend the brick funding. So if you remember when I was doing the NPR um interviews with NPR was all about that brick funding going away. Well, we got notified about six or seven months ago that the brick funding was back in play and we didn't have to do anything because we were had already gotten about 95% approval that we were going to get the money to decommission the lagoon, handle the MS4. So, we we're going to get funding for the $3 million to deal
with the lagoon and the $2.75 million to deal with the MS4. So, we didn't have to raise anybody's taxes. We didn't have to raise any more sewer rates. We managed to get a funding application together for them to fund it. So, knock on wood, fingers crossed, there will be no hang-ups, but we're very optimistic that we're going to get that funding. However, everything I just said to you has grave consequences and price tags for future generations of elected officials and leaders of the community that we didn't want to just rely on the brick funding. So, we also applied through the Maryland Department of the Environment for the same funding to decommission the lagoon and do the MS4. And then I know everybody has heard the term port bell and whenever the federal government and probably even the state does it too. Whenever they do appropriations and stuff like that, different legislators are able to put in their requests for additional funding for their projects. Well, the mayor through his, you know, partnership building with all levels of government regardless of party affiliation was able to get us before um Senator Oso Brooks and Van Holland and we put a package together to them to say, "Hey, we need to decommission this lagoon. It's a potential hazardous material issue. Can you help us?" We got notified on Friday that both senators have uh have validated that request and it's before the federal appropriations committee to see if it gets appropriated. So we went down three different roads to handle a big issue and hopefully at least one of them come through and that'll be a
significant windfall for the town of Rising Sun. So, there's a whole bunch of other grants and things that are in the pipeline that we have. It takes a little bit of time to work them through the system. And we also, as I said before, it's not that we're delaying it. We just have to wait for certain things. So, we're just as excited as everybody else for parking and doing these things, but we don't control the post string. So, I just wanted to throw that out there to to clarify that process. Thanks, Cal. Hey, town attorney.
Hey, Jay. He fell asleep. Hey, Jay. I can hear you now. You had me on mute. Okay, go ahead. Is it time for my report? Yes, I tried to read lips for everything else. So,
okay. Um, we had a busy month because we had a planning commission meeting, uh, which I'm sure the liaison will go into, but that resulted in, uh, some follow-up meetings with some developers attorneys. Uh, we have some oncoming meetings this month to deal with the Maple Heights issues and the Canudson property. So, things are still moving along, but it's taking a tremendous amount of time to get these projects forward. They're moving forward, but everything is a uh everything is an issue. The latest with the Kudson is that they wanted to divide the property in half uh with a lot line adjustment and they wanted our guarantee that uh we would review it administratively. Of course, we have to review it to see whether we can review it administratively. And so, uh that took some time. Uh so I don't want to sound too negative, but it does take us away from the other business that you'd like us to conduct. Uh a positive note, I reviewed the uh the RFP and contract for the demolition project uh that Calvin has out there. I understand you have a meeting tomorrow on that. And so that one is ready to go uh as soon as you get the bids in. You can pick the best qualified bidder or Calvin and the engineer can and uh you can select it to go right away. And those are the big items that we have. Any questions for me?
Thank you, Jay. Chief.
Well, we have the sun fest that's coming up on June 6th. Um it has a parade with it than the uh actual festival. So, be prepared for traffic delays, detours, and things of that nature during that event. Um, it begins at about 8:00 a.m. and will be over sometime around 5 or 6 in the evening when the breakdown of the event starts to happen. Uh, in addition to that, school's back in session. As you saw, today is a nice day. There's been plenty of kids that are now walking to and from the school to uh some of the businesses around town and down to the playground. So when you come through town, please use caution. Um please obey the speed limits and look for kids in the crosswalks. Um beyond that, that's I have nothing else.
Thank you, Chief. Moving forward into uh my report, it's pretty brief. Uh Chief and I hosted the commanding general of the Maryland National Guard, uh my good friend Janine Burkehead, uh at Rising Sun High School. Uh we met with ROC students and uh those interested in a career with the National Guard. It was a great event. Uh we also talked about doing some partnership exercises between the Rising Sun Police Department and the National Guard. Uh we look forward to uh some of those joint exercises happening hopefully sometime this fall. Uh June 27th, we are hosting the America 250 parade. Uh it'll be a celebration of America's 250th birthday. We are really excited about that. Um if you have any uh questions or are interested in participating, please reach out to town hall. Uh the registration form is online. Uh in addition, uh Calvin, also I wanted to briefly mention the community building. Uh we're still in works with that. We have a uh another grant that we luckily were able to get this uh legislative session um from the Maryland uh general assembly and that's going to be under DHC. I believe that one's for $300,000. Yes.
Uh to go towards the community building. Um so a lot of grants, a lot of work, a lot of leg work to do. Um but we are present and we are definitely working hard to bring those funds here. uh based upon relationship building. Uh that concludes my report. Uh Commissioner Dally,
I just want to um welcome the newer businesses to town. Uh Sunny's Toy Box opened up right here in uh downtown right across from Town Hall and um Garvin Family Butcher closer to Plumpton Park Zoo a few weeks back. I believe they open and look forward to doing some um ribbon cutings in conjunction with the town and the rising sun chamber to welcome them, but encourage residents to support our local businesses. Thank you. And uh we look forward to scheduling a uh a ribbon cutting with Sunny's Toy Box. Looks to be and they're open right now, right? So if you want to go in, check it out. Uh it's a very cool location. Um Commissioner Kleiner,
uh I just have a short report. We met last week to discuss the budget. So, if anyone would like to revisit that, it should be on YouTube, right? Like on our website. Um there are some very interesting information presented there and um some some cool updates for the town in the year ahead. And um we did not meet yet this month for the planning commission, but our next meeting is scheduled for Monday. So um that is that's my report. Thank you, Commissioner Kleiner. Commissioner Pearson. Yeah. First of all, congratulations to the Roxing Sun Tigers boys lacrosse team
for advancing to the quarterfinals of the states and also to the uh girls softball uh team. They advanced also. They in fact they beat Belair which was the number one seed one to nothing. Wow. and the pitcher for Rising Sun threw a no hitter which is pretty remarkable at that level of uh competition. Now that being said, Calvin I have a question to ask. Sure.
Why does the trash company and res Well, they're both the same company, right? They come around 5 5:30 in the morning, but they don't pick anything up. They come back at 7:00 and pick it up. Why are they coming through twice? I'm not aware that they're coming through twice. So, we can check that out.
It wasn't a pro. It wasn't a problem during the winter because nobody's windows were really open. But now the uh windows are open. People are say ask me why are we getting why why aren't they picking it up? I mean literally they do not pick it up. I watched them the other day right past my house, go up to the court, turn and go back out. That's awesome. Didn't touch anything. It's not even like the old days where we did recycling and trash on the same day. See, you could say it was a recycling truck, not seen. Yeah. Not separate days. So, I have I'm having them drive by all these houses just to mess with them a little bit. Maybe they think you're trash.
Well, I've got news for you. I'd have bought that years ago when we put out two trash cans. Okay. When the six kids left, we hardly generate anything now. And my wife is a true recycler, you know. So, but it just it I can't answer. Yeah.
