REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS:
1. MML Chapter Update - President Allan attended the annual Maryland Municipal League Montgomery County Chapter dinner meeting at Rockville=s Glenview Mansion with the State legislative delegation representatives for Montgomery County. He indicated that while the event did not seem as well attended as the previous year, key elected officials were there. Brookeville sponsored District 14 delegates Karen Montgomery and Herman Taylor. President Allan was able to speak to a number of delegates and Senators regarding the importance of funding the Brookeville Bypass.

2. Bordly Drive -The road is now open to traffic. Terri Hogan from the Olney Gazette ran an article on the front page concerning the completion of this important project. The commissioners are hopeful that many commuters will choose Bordly Dr. rather than Market St. as their route of choice.

3. Bypasses - President Allan reported that the Montgomery County Council met to discuss and decide on specific transportation priorities for the coming year. The Brookeville Bypass went into the meeting listed as #seven. The council was only going to send forward six projects. In addition to Delegate Karen Montgomery=s lobbying, President Allan sent several e-mails to the council members and at the end of the day, the Bypass was moved up a notch and included in the final cut.
