The Town Council met on January 16, 2020. The council approved the January 2, 2020 minutes and unanimously approved a three-year commitment to host Drink Maryland/Centreville Day on June 20, 2020. The Council received a progress report from the Council of Five Advisory Committee and discussed timeline wording, districting concerns, and term-length preferences; they asked for more analysis of pros and cons. Council read Ordinance 15-2019 (amending subdivision record plat requirements) and scheduled a public hearing for February 20, 2020, and they tabled Ordinance 01-2020 (Tax Set-Off) to the February 20 agenda. Staff presented a mid-year 2020 budget memo, and the council unanimously approved hiring McCrone to investigate the operation and performance of the North Brook Water Treatment Plant as required by MDE. The minutes note a purchase request for an F250 4x4 truck with plow on the agenda but the record cuts off before that item is completed.
