EASTON, MARYLAND — The Talbot County Council will be asked Oct. 27 to back the Waterfowl Festival's bid for state money to keep restoring the old Easton Armory, and to award a contract to repave cart paths at the county's Hog Neck Golf Course.
Both requests are on the council's agenda for Tuesday, Oct. 27, posted on the county's meeting portal. The first asks for a letter of support for Waterfowl Festival, Inc.'s request to the governor to include the project in the governor's FY28 capital budget, to support the continued restoration and revitalization of the Waterfowl Building, the historic Easton Armory.
The second is a request from Hog Neck Golf Course to award Bid No. 26-17, for asphalt paving of the back nine cart paths at the course, 10142 Ocean Gateway, Easton. The agenda does not list a bid amount or a bidder.
Two bills heard Oct. 13 are listed as eligible for a vote. Bill No. 1653 would require notice of hearings on new and renewal short-term rental licenses to owners of properties within 1,000 feet, including across waterways in line of sight, or the 50 nearest properties, whichever is less. Bill No. 1654 would set a minimum monthly benefit of $100 for life for qualifying active volunteer members under the county's Volunteer Emergency Services Longevity Award Program.
The agenda also lists an update from Patty Crankshaw-Quimby, executive director of Talbot Humane, and board and committee appointments. Public hearings begin at 5:30 p.m. on three resolutions conveying county land without monetary consideration and on Bill No. 1655, which would create a Board of Economic Development and Tourism.
A closed session is listed for 3:30 to 5 p.m., with the open meeting set to begin at 5 p.m. in the Bradley Meeting Room, South Wing, Talbot County Courthouse, 11 North Washington Street, Easton. There is no regular council meeting Tuesday, Oct. 20. That day, the council meets with Maryland Department of Transportation representatives at 3 p.m. in the Wye Oak Room of the Talbot County Community Center.
