Town Council — 2025-03-06

The Centreville Town Council met March 6, 2025 at the Liberty Building. The Council approved the February 20 minutes and heard a citizen opposed to making Homewood Avenue a one-way street. Main Street Manager Carol D’Agostino presented the Drink Maryland event with Maryland Winery Association participation; the Council approved a waiver of Chapter 7, Article I, Section 7-2A for June 7, 2025 and approved closing Lawyers Row and Broadway for the Drink Maryland event (June 7) and Centreville Day (October 25); the Council also approved closing Broadway and Lawyers Row on September 25, 2025 from 8:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m. for an Ink or Dye Studio event. Planning Commission Chair Kara Willis reviewed the town sign code (Chapter 170-38), noting multiple code sections, permitting requirements, temporary sign limits cited in the discussion (no larger than 4 square feet and 10 feet from the right-of-way), and enforcement challenges with a preference for education rather than fines. A public hearing on Ordinance 01-2025 (amending Chapter 158 Vehicles, Non-Self Propelled) was called to order at 8:00 p.m.; the minutes end partway through that hearing. Agenda items listed for future action included the FY26 budget presentation, a town water system evaluation, and Resolution 02-2025 (152 Comet Drive, LLC Public Works Agreement).
