MEMORANDUM
August 7, 2025 TO: Carolyn Brinkley, Town Manager FR: Karen Luffman, Finance Officer Ashley Russ, Finance Specialist IV RE: Update to Vendor Payment Processing Procedures Currently, check registers are emailed to Council Members following the review and approval of all invoices by the appropriate department heads. Check runs are conducted on a bi-weekly basis.
While this process has helped maintain oversight, it has also contributed to delays in vendor payments due to the time required for check register approvals.
To ensure a more seamless and efficient process – particularly as most of the invoices are for routine services or fall within the approved budget – staff is recommending the removal of the check register approval step. This change will allow vendors to be paid in a timelier manner and streamline our overall payment workflow.
To maintain transparency and comply with the requirement of the Town Charter, staff will continue to provide weekly expenditure reports to the Council for review and oversight.
We appreciate your consideration of this update as we work to improve the efficiency and reliability of our vendor payment process.

MEMO
DATE: July 11, 2025 TO: Carolyn Brinkley, Town Manager From: Clifford Matthews Jr, Public Works Director Re: WWTP Upgrade Design Proposal Please see the attached WWTP Upgrade design proposal from Whitman Requardt & Associates (WRA).
This is Amendment Number 4 to their original contract which was for the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), then the Environmental Evaluation (Amendment Number 2), and the PER Modification (Amendment Number 3). The proposal is for all required elements from design through preparation of contract construction documents, review of submitted bid documents, and recommendations for awarding the bid. This also includes application submittals to multiple agencies for all required permits.
This process is estimated to take 14 months to complete with a proposed start date of September 1st if this proposal is approved.
This phase of the WWTP Upgrade is proposed to cost $2,446,672 and we plan to pay for this with a Congressional Directed Spending Grant the Town is approved for in the amount of $2,155,000. This grant has a matching funds requirement of 20% ($431,000). The 20% matching funds will be budgeted in the FY27 budget and can come from both out of pocket sources and/or state funded sources such as MDE grants, etc. Please note that this design and proposal does not include engineering for any items
that may be required for a new discharge.
The staff recommends awarding Contract Amendment 4 to WRA at $2,446,672 for the WWTP Upgrade Design.
MOTION
I MAKE A MOTION TO AWARD CONTRACT AMANDMENT NUMBER 4 WITH WHITMAN REQUARDT & ASSOCATES FOR THE WWTP DESIGN NOT TO EXCEED $2,446,672.

IN THE MATTER OF : BEFORE THE
2647 CENTREVILLE ROAD : CENTREVILLE TOWN COUNCIL
FINDINGS OF FACT
At a meeting of the Centreville Town Council held on July 29, 2025, a public show cause hearing was held regarding the structure located at 2647 Centreville Road, Centreville, Maryland (the “Property”) to give all interested persons an opportunity to show cause why the structure which is considered to be a dangerous building pursuant to Chapter 31 of the Centreville Town Code should not be demolished in accordance with the report of the building inspector.
Pursuant to Chapter 31 of the Town Code, the Town Council makes the following findings of fact relative to the demolition of the Property at 2647 Centreville Road:
1. The Board finds that the subject property was properly posted and that requisite
notice of the application was given in the Bay Times and Record Observer, a newspaper printed and published in Queen Anne’s County on July 18 and July 25.
2. Notice of the show cause hearing was hand delivered by private process server to
the owner as shown on the tax records. There are no other mortgagees, trustees, or other persons listed in the Land Records of Queen Anne’s County having an interest in the property.
3. The Property is owned by Charles F. Geschwilm. Mr. Geschwilm appeared at the
hearing in person. Mr. Geschwilm acknowledged that the structure needs to be demolished and indicated that he is in the process of obtaining demolition proposals.
4. The Building Inspector, Hal Davis of Middle Department Inspection Agency
(MDIA), inspected the Property on April 21, 2025, and determined that the structure located on the Property is a dangerous building. His findings are articulated in his letter dated April 22, 2025 and the attached photographs. He also testified at the hearing that the structure is an imminent danger to the public and meets the requirements of Section 31-1 of the Town Code for a dangerous building. While anything is possible with money, in his opinion, repair of the structure is not
economically feasible, and the structure needs to be demolished.
5. Numerous attempts have been made by the Town over the years to have the
property owner repair the structure dating back to 2015. The property owner has repeatedly promised to make repairs but has not made any meaningful repairs or brought the structure into compliance with codes.
6. Given its proximity to Maryland Route 213, the Town Council is concerned for the
public safety if the structure is allowed to remain.
Page 2 of 2
7. The Town Council of Centreville finds that the structure located at the Property is
a dangerous building as that term is defined in Section 31-1 of the Town Code and a public nuisance and requires demolition. Specifically, the Council finds that the structure has been damaged by the elements and has become dangerous to life, safety, morals or the general health and welfare of the people of the Town of Centreville and parts of the structure are such that they may fall and injure members of the public or adjacent property.

EXHIBIT A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PUD) AMENDMENTS
§
170-28 Planned Unit Development District (PUD)
A. Planned unit development in general.
1. It is the intent of the PUD Zone to control the placement, design, use, and density of wellplanned, residential developments which will offer a variety of building types and a more

Within the intention of these regulations, the following objectives are sought to provide for the planned unit development:
a. To provide a more attractive and varied living environment than would be possible through the strict application of R-1, R-2, and R-3, and TND District requirements.
b. To encourage a more intimate, efficient and aesthetic use of open space.
c. To encourage developers to use a more creative approach in the development of land.
d. To encourage variety in the physical development pattern of residential areas.
e. To encourage significant innovations in the development of land to bring about sustainable patterns of development in environmentally sensitive areas, including within the Critical Area.
2. The Council shall follow the procedures set forth in this section for the approval of a
floating zone for PUDs proposed in the R-1 or R-2 Districts.
3. PUDs shall be permitted in the R-3 Zone, and TND Zone in accordance with the
conditions and requirements contained in this section.
B. PUD Requirements.
1. Permitted uses. PUDs are contemplated to be primarily residential. However, they may

2. The TND development shall have access to an existing or planned arterial or collector
road, and be organized around a network of interconnected public streets in a grid pattern that establishes and forms a street hierarchy limited to arterial, collector, local/secondary streets, and alleys. The street network/hierarchy must be delineated by a Regulating Plan;
3. TND developments have physical form (building styles and sizes, and lot sizes), as well
as required open spaces that vary in character and intensity so as to best integrate and interconnect with the surrounding neighborhood and community character.
4. The TND development shall be served by adequate existing or planned infrastructure;
and
5. Governmental uses and developments shall be exempt from any minimum size criteria
(§170-29.1.A.1), the requirements for a Regulating Plan and palette/pattern book (§170-29.1.B.2), the intensity limitations and limitations on nonresidential development in comparison to residential development (§170-29.1.F.2), and the size limits applicable to TND Districts (§170-29.1.F.3). Although not required to submit a Regulating Plan or palette/pattern book, all government uses and developments shall
submit a cohesive architectural plan to guide all government buildings and developments which shall be subject to Planning Commission review and approval and which shall include standards for compatible facades, colors, and architectural features and shall require the architecture to be “human scale”, of excellent design and to use high quality building materials .
