The Rockville City Council held a work session on September 2, 2026, to discuss upcoming meeting schedules, snow removal responsibilities, and review pending state legislation as part of the Legislative Review Team process. The council considered 13 bills, took positions on each, and designated councilmembers for testimony where applicable.
The council reviewed the following bills, determined positions, and assigned testimony where appropriate:
We have we have a private improvement for the right-of-way for our electric vehicle program, which is wonderful, and then we have our minutes. Then we have three action items. We have guests from COG coming in and showing their DMV moves plan, the hour asking for endorsement of that plan. Then we have an annexation for the Winks property. Pretty sure I updated all the members of the body on this one. Let me stress again. This is just the first step just to see if we even want to consider annexation of the property and lots of things after that, you know, zoning and site plan, etc. etc. That tonight is just do we want to annex the property and start the process or not? And then we have the green building code, as we know, we've been looking at that for a while now and big part of our climate action plan. Any questions for this evening's meeting? I will obviously at the city manager's update, both thanking public works and our wreck and park and everybody for a fan tactic snow removal, but at the same time, really asking private property owners, residents, and businesses to do everything they can to continue shoveling the walks that are their responsibility, especially those areas on the way to schools. Um we we got to get the schools open. I think we all know that. Not our responsibility per se, but it takes a village on that one big time. So we need to continue to remind people that's their responsibility to shovel the walks, especially leading into the intersections. Mayor Ashton. Thanks. Um just is it possible? Uh it's probably a city manager's report, or I could even raise it if it doesn't come up. Um if people can still volunteer, um, as well as to focus on those um crosswalks. There are some that are not possible for anyone really without a machine. So if that if they see those, they should call those in. I just wanted to flag those. Yep. Thank you, Mayor. Anybody have anything else? All right. Thank you, Brock. There's the February 9th agenda. Starts at 6 30. Pretty light, you guys. It's really um ready's mid-year report, and they're gonna focus in on federal workforce and market trends. That'll be our last short meeting for a very long time, you guys. Just letting you know. So any questions about that meeting. All right, I'll take a quick look at six months if it's okay before we transition to Mayor Ashton. I'm sorry, I thought that was a stale handle. All right, I was just curious. Are we gonna also as part of this? Uh is ready gonna do um, they did a commercial office update last time and also including jobs. I just want to make sure we're thinking about the economy on a broader scale, given what's going on. Yeah, we'll add that to the notes and and and share that with ready, mayor. Thank you. Thank you.
