Town Council — 2026-01-08

The Centreville Town Council meeting on January 8, 2026 covered routine approvals, budget and personnel policy changes, a property demolition decision, zoning sign revisions, and a traffic study request. The Council approved the December 4, 2025 minutes and heard SB & Company report an unmodified FY25 audit opinion with no fraud or material weaknesses. The Council unanimously approved Martin’s Excavation & Hauling’s updated demolition quote of $125,605 for 2647 Centreville Road (final personal property removal deadline set for January 14, demolition to begin January 15) and a one-month Sun Belt temporary privacy fence for $1,495; demolition costs will be paid from interest earned on Town accounts. Two personnel resolutions passed unanimously: one formalizing timing for merit increases (Resolution 01-2026) and one allowing annual leave balances over 400 hours to be transferred to sick leave for retirement purposes (Resolution 02-2026). The Council held a first reading of Ordinance 15-2026 to amend sign regulations (public hearing scheduled for January 22, 2026), agreed to pursue an engineering and traffic study requested by Symphony Village and to meet with Queen Anne’s County about Taylor Mill Road, and received routine departmental and advisory board updates including recent meetings about wastewater treatment plant funding and reported police arrest counts for October and November 2025.
