County Administrator’s Monthly ReportReporting Period: December 1-31, 2017
Please find our latest edition of the County Administrator’s Monthly Report .
As we close out the year, it is worthwhile to pause and recognize our accomplishments .
Those listed below are just a few that we highlighted in our “2017 Annual Report to the
Citizens of Charles County .” The full report and companion video can be found at www .
CharlesCountyMD .gov/coadmin/pio/annual-reports-previous-years . We invite you to
take a look!
We are consistently monitoring our efficiency and improving our software systems . The
Information Technology Division has worked on many projects this year that provide
our employees with the necessary tools to do a great job . The aggressive information
technology schedule includes replacing our permitting and inspection software to im-
prove our workflows and reduce errors; and replacing our financial and tax billing soft-
ware, which will focus on increased security, regulatory compliance, productivity, mo-
bility, self-service, and transparency . Last, but not least is our website redesign . While
not complete as of the end of 2017, we are well on our way to obtaining a product to en-
hance residents’ experiences when visiting our website and accessing services through
hand-held devices .
We continue to augment our Economic Development Department and had two new hires
this year: Business Development Manager Lucretia Freeman-Buster and Agriculture
Business Development Manager Martin Proulx . Both positions are key to attracting,
maintaining, and expanding business within the county and will work to diversify our
economy within the region . A notable success was the opening of the Competitive
Power Ventures, a 725 mega-watt natural gas electric power generation facility . The
opening was a culmination of many years of work and speaks directly to our goal of
creating innovative jobs and industry within our county . Additionally, the regional Army
Reserve Center broke ground in White Plains .
Fiscal Services had a banner year and the county earned three triple-A bond ratings –
the highest rating possible – from Moody’s Investors, S&P Global Ratings, and Fitch
Ratings . Obtaining these ratings ensures that County Government receives low interest
on its bond rates, thereby saving interest costs on all of our bond issues . It also demon-
strates our consistent commitment to strong fiscal policies and sound fiscal manage-
ment . Charles County is only one of eight counties in Maryland with a “triple-triple .”
On behalf of the directors and employees of Charles County Government, I hope you
find this report a useful tool that provides you with transparency and information; and
assists our policymakers in better serving Charles County . I look forward to hearing your
feedback .

Waldorf Recreational Center
An on-site meeting was held in December with staff from the divisions of Buildings and Trades, Recreation, and Aging along with John McConnell to discuss the next phase of renovation and to coordinate among the departments . Received proposal from architect to develop bid drawings . The Capital Services Division is reviewing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing portion of proposal and will solicit costs from task order consultants to compare pricing . Additional funding will be needed after final negotiations of engineering costs . The Capital Services Division is coordinat-ing kitchen layout with the Aging Division .
Bel Alton Community Center Bids received in October for storm windows were above budget due to scope of work not being grant eligible . Capital Services Division submitted a new Invitation to Bid for window restoration to purchasing in November with bids due in early January . Capital Services Division will review the bids for this work, which is grant eligible, in preparation for submitting a recommendation of award .
Health Department Roof Contractor completed roof repairs necessary to protect building from leaks, but due to the threat of cold weather, has temporarily demobilized until the spring at which time two top coats of sealant will be applied to complete project .
Western Parkway Phase 2 Construction continues and is approximately 70 percent complete as of Dec . 31, 2017 . Contractor to shift traffic to newly constructed portion of road in January to allow improvements to be done on existing road between Holly Tree and Pierce Roads . Current contract completion date is mid-August 2018 .
Western Parkway Phase 3 An internal meeting was held with the Capital Services Division and Resource Infrastructure Management staff to discuss options of moving forward with design/construction . In preparation for moving forward with the design of phase 3, Capital Services requested and received proposal from Bohler Engineering for cost to com-plete design of Phase 3 road improvements, which was $400,000 . Future of this project will be discussed with the Commissioners in January .
Middletown Road/Billingsley Road Roundabout
Construction continues and is currently approximately 73 percent complete as of Dec . 29 . On Dec . 21, contractor shifted traffic to new roundabout to allow for up-grade of existing roadway .
Government Building Atrium/Security Renovations
Onsite meeting is scheduled for early January with consultant to determine roof top heating and air conditioning unit locations . Project is approximately 15 percent complete as of Dec . 29 .
Solar Energy Planning Division and Capital Services Division staff met with Energy Ventures (EnVen) on Dec . 18 to explore feasibility of solar array sites . After meeting with Planning staff where the various zoning maps were provided, the Cobb Island site is no longer being considered for a solar site due to the complexities associated with permitting in the Resource Protection Zone and Critical Area . The Mason Springs site is now being con-sidered and at first glance, appears to be a more viable site for a solar array . This site offers less clearing, more buffer, and less environmental zoning obstacles . EnVen pro-vided a conceptual layout for a 17 .6 MW solar array at Mason Springs . The Mason Spring solar array conceptual layout was circulated among Department of Public Works/stakeholders for comments . Comments received were sent to EnVen for their review and consideration . EnVen is preparing the interconnection application submission to SMECO and Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity license application to the Maryland Public Service Commission . A schedule will be developed between EnVen and Capital Services as this project moves forward .
