Mr.

Vice Chairman, please let the record reflect.

We have board members are present and we don't reform.

Okay.

Well, stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Understand.

Okay, you've had a chance to look at the agenda.

So I'd like to ask for approval of the agenda.

I move that we approve the agenda for September 2nd, 2026.

I'll second.

All in favor?

If you first on the list is a capital project's decision on that.

Yeah.

So I'm going to ask Scott to come up before he dives into his presentation.

I did just want to bring something to your attention since it's a little timely.

So they they sometimes will have like a weird extension at the end of the email address that appears to be coming from us but has extra letters or something in it.

So just wanted to let you all know that we'd been we've been alerted to that.

And if there if you ever encounter anybody who says they got a weird-looking email from Carroll County government asking them to send money or whatever, um we we will never do that via email, and they should always um verify with the uh you know by directly calling or emailing somebody here at the county to confirm that that that email is uh is indeed uh a real email and just uh to follow up that real quick um that was also put out via social media from the county government, and it was also an email blast that was sent out to anybody that receives county emails to make them aware of that matter, as well as I believe the sheriff's department sent something out as well.

So you know, we've all been as uh judicious as we could be able to get that out for the public's awareness.

Thank you.

Okay, Scott, good evening.

Good evening, and back before you again uh to kind of recap the presentation from uh your regularly scheduled meeting a couple of weeks ago uh regarding CIP uh budget requests uh for the upcoming FY28 budget cycle touchy mouse.

I know it is and so here's a list of the staff recommended projects.

I'll go through these in a little bit more detail.

Uh we have uh some visuals to to go through as well, but I'll just uh go down the list.

Uh ride an hour way, uh east of Old Liberty, uh ride an hour away uh connection, Homeland Drive to Bonnie Bray Road, Georgetown Boulevard extended, uh London Town Boulevard to Progress Way, Arrington and Raincliffe Road uh connection and realignment, uh Protherer Road extension and recurrent configuration of the intersection with Ridge Road, uh Maryland 32 from 2nd Street to Main Street, uh intersection improvements, uh the Maryland 26th corridor as a whole, and then this was added uh the last project uh from the last presentation.

That was not not part of what I brought you two weeks ago, but we've added the Hemrington Road Spur Trail Bridge, which would end up being part of the Potapsco regional greenway.

So Riden Hour way east of Old Liberty basically would uh pick up right there at Nels Acres.

This is just uh east of St.

Stephen's Reformed Episcopal Church and would carry the roadway west and it would actually connect in with a segment of Old Liberty Road that currently exists.

So that's actually a portion of this segment and as everybody knows the the Ridenhour way of and the George I'm sorry the Dickinson Road or the the service roads designed to to relieve traffic congestion along 26.

And then a second piece of Rodenhour way would be homeland to Bonnie Bray making that connection the county just recently purchased a property just to the uh the east of this segment uh to sort of uh bring this to fruition hopefully in the near future and this would be Georgetown Boulevard extended the uh the blue line that extends north from the London town and and Georgetown convergence there up to uh to Progress way along the west western bound of the uh the Beatty property both of these projects are uh hopefully would be in conjunction with uh upcoming developments uh Prothro Road extended would uh pick up where the the road currently terminates uh southeast of Brangles Road and carry it forward to where it would meet up with uh Marriott'sville Road and Ridge Road and there would also be a intersection sort of realignment there on the the eastern portion of this project and then Errington Raincliffe Road uh what we're proposing in the CIP is just for the basically the very first portion of this roadway there at Slacks Road and again it would be in conjunction with the development that would occur but the reason for that project would be to to straighten out those those sharp S curves there in that area the Maryland 32 project this would be matching funds that we were proposing for this state project and it would be intersection improvements from 2nd Street to Main Street and this would also include like dedicated right and left hand turn lanes along this portion as well continued support for Maryland 26 we don't have a specific project in relation to this but it would be whatever opportunities might come up for the county to assist the state in moving this project forward and then this would be the new project part of the Patapsco Regional Greenway which would connect Carroll County all the way down to Baltimore City there are multiple players in this particular project to and including Howard County Baltimore County Baltimore City even Anna Rundle County has a portion of this but the uh the mock-up or the picture there would is a depiction of what this could look like over the uh waterway there and the rail line there at the very southern end of the county and it would connect in with that uh trail system to the top of the screen there in the map this would would cover the portion of the the blue line there and with that we'll open it up to any questions you might have or any further explanation so I just want to really quickly point out that the first several projects that um Scott covered were projects that um some of them many of them we've already we've requested in prior um uh budget years and they've not uh been advanced to the final um approved um budget um in some cases in other cases they have been and then funds have kind of been redirected um right now um at the Nelsacres area um Arrington Pretherough and Georgetown are all um projects that are number one um planned major streets part of part of the adopted um freedom community comprehensive plan and they are also um there's a there's a bit of an more immediacy to their their need because they're associated with development projects that are actively in the um review process so um that's one of the reasons why these particular roads have um been kind of consistently put forward for consideration um there are a couple of others

And they are also there's a there's a bit of an more immediacy to their their need because they're associated with development projects that are actively in the review process.
