TOWN OF BROOKEVILLE, MARYLAND
April 14, 2003
ATTENDING: President Richard Allan, Commissioners Robert Heritage
and Les Unglesbee, Clerk-Treasurer Susan Johnson and Terri Hogan from
the Olney Gazette were in attendance. The meeting began at 8:00 p.m.
at the Brookeville Academy.
MINUTES: The March minutes were read and accepted as amended.
FINANCIAL REPORT: The
financial report was reviewed and accepted.
REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS:
1. Planning Commission - The Commissioners approved a
building permit for a house addition to be constructed at the home of
Bruce and Toni Evans located at 204 Market St.
2.Operations and Maintenance:
Public Maintenance. Commissioner Unglesbee made a motion
that the town purchases a service contract for the Academy elevator from
Premier Lifts at a cost of $490 per year. The repair work that previously
has been done would be covered under this contract. Commissioner Heritage
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. President Allan asked
Ms. Johnson to find a contractor to clean the gutters of the Academy.
He also asked Ms. Johnson to order a street sign for the new Water Street.
Regarding the three historic interpretative signs partially funded by
the Historic Preservation Commission, President Allan said that he has
prepared the text for the signs for the Newlin millstone, Brookeville
Angel, and the Schoolhouse. He is planning to speak with Signs by Tomorrow
about sign design options. He said he would like to have them installed
by the annual meeting in May.
3. Bypass - The County Executive has included money for
the next phase of the bypass in his new transportation program. Apparently,
the availability of these funds to the County is a function of whether
or not Governor Ehrlich signs off on a special car registration tax approved
by the General Assembly and specific only to Montgomery County.
4. Web Site - The redesigned web site is almost complete.
All of the links have been changed and Ms. Johnson has been working with
the technical support person on the transition.
5. Schoolhouse -
The old roof has been removed and the new one should be installed this
week should the weather cooperate.
