The Rules and City Government Committee met on September 3, 2026, at 6:30 PM in City Council Chambers. The meeting focused on two legislative items: O-9-26 (updating standing committees) and O-14-26 (Art in Public Places). The committee heard a presentation on the Prescription Drug Affordability Board and spent the majority of the meeting deliberating on a comprehensive substitute amendment (Amendment 11) for O-14-26. The committee ultimately voted to withdraw Amendments 1–10 and to favorably recommend Amendment 11 and the legislation as amended to the full City Council.
No action was taken on O-9-26 during this meeting.
Department of Emergency Management is to proactively reduce these disaster risk and reliably manage consequences through collaborative work with Maryland's communities and partners. In Maryland, emergency management is a system of systems. We cannot do it alone. And it's only through that system of systems that we do it. Of everyone coming together. So the investment today comes a result of years of partnership and collaboration with the residents, business owners, and governments at every level. And I have to say we've been talking about it started in 2019. It was a discussion of flooding back into the 1700s for Ellicott City. And when it comes time for a model, this will not only be a model, but there's another really really good model in Frederick City that started with Agnes. And it took 20 years to build, and about three or four years ago, there was a flooding event and it worked. So we know that this funding will bring a significant return on investment for every dollar invested, as I mentioned, we'll save six in re disaster recovery. And while the dollars matter, what really matters is our community and our survivors. She could not be here. So let's give them both a round of applause. So we're happy to answer any questions. And if not, we do have a check, cash it fast. Can you respond to the letter that you sent to the Trump administration regarding the Legion L? I'm sorry, I couldn't do that. Can you respond to the um the letter you sent to the Trump administration relative to the Legionella? Oh, can we talk to you after about? I'm happy to do one-on-one or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. Time for the real thing. Check. All right. Shall we uh Senator Caesar? Yes, of course. I also want to call out Lieutenant General Superintendent of the Naval Academy, uh Mike Bork Schulte, uh, who was incredibly helpful and just want to acknowledge his things and his efforts as well. Why don't you get in the middle here? Hola, soy Capitán Zapata of the Court of Bomberos here of the city of Annapolis. In this semester, we're talking about the prevention of incendies in the cousin. The incendiary in casa is the use of the cocina. The cause of the principal of incentives in the cocina is false of supervision. Put number one. When we're cousining, use a related alarm automatically. Put number two. If you're cousining with aceite or mantea and food, put the tapa over the sartén and number three. And point number one.
