On The Agenda

A contract for the rolling stock exhibit, and a resolution to participate in the Sustainable Maryland Certified Municipal Certification Program.

The Mayor and Council will be looking at a brief agenda tonight, but it does contains two items of note.

The first major item is a $356,000 expenditure for the 's rolling stock exhibit.

Tucked into the consent items categoryโ€”which means the council will vote to approve or deny, usually without discussionโ€”the money will go to Worcester Eisenbrandt of Baltimore to restore and provide a Budd car from the B&O Railroad Museum.

The second major item the Council will consider is a resolution to participate in the Sustainable Maryland Certified Municipal Certification Program.

The program is run by the University of Maryland's Environmental Finance Center, and is a way for municipalities to find cost-effective ways to protect their natural and environmental assets.
