Re: Chesapeake Bay Bridge Congestion and Contra-floss
Dear Secretary Rahn:
Ertda\, August I0 during the height of the sseekend beach traffic commute. the contra-floss on the ss esthound span of the Ba Bridge ssas not in place. The resulting traffic backup on the Western Shore stretched tc the 97/50 split as ou can see from the screen shot below taken at 4:39 pm on the lOt:
We ssere told that the reason for the lack of contra-flow during the ‘Aeekend rush hour was that an accident on the east bound span in the am. required contra-flow that impacted the westbound commute thus creating traffic backups on Kent Island. Once this contra-flow was removed after the accident was cleared, it would have been too time consuming and sould have negatively impacted traffic to reinstitute it later in the day.
LIVE• WORK • PLAYuQA visitqueenannes.cem things to clo..,pIacs to gO.,.ways to groc/ your businss...scan for info
1 This explanation sums up our frustration with the bridge and the bridge management in one sentence; making timely decisions and implementing solutions, is simply impossible with the antiquated system used to establish the contra-flow lanes. Sending state employees out to hand place orange cones to establish a change in lane usage/direction is not only inefficient, it is an inexcusable way to operate what is arguably one of the most important transportation routes in the State.
2th Additionally, the past two Sundays, August 1 and August l9, have seen eight to ten mile backups on the Eastern Shore from the beach traffic returning to the Western Shore. While our Sheriff’s Department is stationing deputies at the Rt. 50 exits prior to the bridge to try and encourage motorists not to get off and clog our local streets, they are fighting a losing battle. While we understand that MDoT and MSP are averse to blocking off the exits to beach traffic, we do not see any other solution to preventing excessive traffic problems for our emergency service providers and the 18.000 residents that live on Kent Island.
\Ve are no longer asking for a solution to this, we are demanding one. The citizens of Maryland and the visitors to the state that use the Ba’ Bridge to .isit our beautiful beaches demand it. The residents of Queen Anne’s Counts. Anne Arundel County and other jurisdictions that use the bridge demand it.
We realize that a permanent fix. a third span to the bridge is decades off. So find a solution to this problem nov. . We look forward to hearing a resolution in the near future.

August 12, 2018 C0US10NER’S iG i7’i8p2:i7 The County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County 107N. Liberty St. Centreville, Maryland 21617
Gentlemen:
Cloverfields Property Owners Association Inc. (CPOA) was formed in 1989 as successor to the association established by the original developer of the Cloverfields subdivision in Stevensville, Maryland. Its membership is comprised of the owners of lots within the subdivision. Public use of its facilities is not allowed.
CPOA owns and operates a pool, beach, marina, clubhouse, and other facilities for the use of its members. At times, it holds events for the members. CPOA operates on annual dues of $180 per owner. It is able to keep dues low due to extensive involvement of volunteers from the Community. It is proud of the service it offers its members.
CPOA has entered into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with the Comptroller of Maryland to address certain Admission & Amusement and Sales Tax issues. It has done so to ensure that it is in compliance with all State and County laws addressing these matters.
In the course of researching its liabilities, it was discovered that the County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County provided exemption from Admission & Amusement taxes for the Cove Creek Club mc, an organization with the same purpose as CPOA. From the language of the resolution (copy attached) it appears that the exemption was granted under similar circumstances.
3 Given that an exemption is already on the books for an organization formed for the same purposes as CPOA, I would request that a similar resolution be adopted providing relief for us as well. A draft of the necessary language is attached.
Please refer questions on this matter to our accountant, Joseph C Zimmerman, CPA who is working with us on this issue.

COHH1SSJONER’SOFFI To: Commissioners of Queen Anne’sounty 10 ‘10 r4f0 From: Jody Schulz, Chair, KNDF Re: Rt. 18 Safety RecommendIons Date: August 6, 2018
At the July 2018 regular Board meeting of the Kent Narrows Development Foundation, the Board voted to recommend to the Commissioners a reduction in the speed limit on Rt. 18through the Kent Narrows Waterfront Village Center Zoning District. In addition, the Board also recommends that measures be taken to address pedestrian and vehicular safety, especially at the intersections of Rt. 18and Kent Narrows Way North to Kent Narrows Way South.
Details: • The portion of Maryland Rt. 18/ Main Street that includes the Watermen’s Memorial Drawbridge, between Wharf Road and the entrance to Oyster Cove is approximately one mile long.
• The Kent Narrows Waterfront is a leisure and business destination for visitors and residents. It’s home to five marinas, three hotels, and nine restaurants — many restaurants include entertainment venues and docking facilities. The region is also home to several maritime-related businesses; including the Kent Narrows Marine Boatel, Kent Narrows Yacht Yard, Harrison Yacht Sales and several other related businesses. The working waterfront is home to Harris Seafood and United Shellfish. Over forty workboats make the Kent Narrows their home port.
• Rt. 18/ Main Street bisects the Cross Island Trail. The crosswalks associated with the trail runs parallel to other commonly-used pedestrian walkways. Currently the posted speed limit is 40 MPH.
• A high degree of pedestrian and vehicular traffic travels through this area, and the traffic is steadily increasing.
• The trails and roadways are used by an increasing number of cyclists.
Based on the details provided above, the Foundation recommends that the speed limit on this section of Rt. 18 between Wharf Road and the entrance to Oyster Cove be lowered.
We understand that a speed study must be commissioned in order for the County to act on our request, and urge the Commissioners to formally request such a study from the Maryland State Highway Administration.
8 In addition, the Board recommends that bike/pedestrian ways be studied for safety. The Foundation is specifically interested in improving pedestrian and bike safety around the intersections at Rt. 18/ Main Street and Kent Narrows Way North to Kent Narrows Way South.
Several years ago, at this location, a portion of the Cross Island Trail was converted into turn lanes. This change made the intersection increasingly dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore, the Foundation also requests that the SI-IAreexamine the need for the turn lanes and instead focus on designing the intersection to include features that facilitate the flow of traffic, and at the same time, address pedestrian and bike safety.
The Foundation recommends that the Commissioners take action on these items as soon as possible. cc: Troy Cisco, SHA Jeff Wentz, SHA Steve Chandlee, Parks and Recreation Todd Mohn, Public Works Shane Moore, Public Works Georgeanna Windley, KNDF KNDF Board

Mr.Jim Alfree from the Department of Emergency Services has reviewed this request and doesn’t have any issue5 with the name. The road name has not been duplicated inthe House Numbering Database.
The Department recommends the County Commissioner’s favorable action on this request.

Justification:
Section 18 of the County Code states that the County reimburses the 50% and 25% discounts for commercial property within and outside
the growth areas This amendment provides budget authority for the FY18 transfer out of the General Fund and into the Fire Impact
Fee funds for these discounts. The amendment is balanced with an increase in property tax revenue, which the County has received
in addition to what was already budgeted for FY18.
The first line of this amendment removes the existing budget authority of $90,000 that was included in the existing budget and the remaining lines for
the transfer in are based on the actual commercial impact fees received.
Allocations to the Fire Departments for FY18 were already distributed, so this amendment only provides authority for the additional revenue in for the
fire impact fees. There is no need for additional expenditure authority for FY18.

Dean Kenderdine Executive Director - - — behalf of’the lVlai’ylafldState Retirement and Pension System (‘System the public Secreta’ To The Board On ) auditing firm CliftonLarsenAllen recently performed a compliance review foi-the Queen Anne’s County Commission (“Commission”). This compliance review was performed to deteimine whether or not the Commission is in compliance with State laws, rules, regulations and administrative policies relating to enrolling members in the System and reporting payroll data to the Maryland State Retirement Agency (“Agency”).
More specifically, the compliance review tested the Commission’s records to ensure the following objectives:
1. All eligible employees were enrolled in the System; 2. No ineligible employees were enrolled in the System; 3. Accui-ate payroll data was reported to the Agency for all enrolled members; 4. Complete and accurate salaries were reported to the Agency so that the Agency could calculate required employer contributions to fund the System; 5. Accurate totals of unused sick leave balances are reported for members who retired; and 6. Accurate and complete demographic and payroll history data was reported to the Agency for use by the Agency’s actuary for new employers.
CliftonLarsenAllen recently submitted their report to the Agency and a copy of that report is enclosed with this letter. I understand that the report was reviewed with Ms. Beverly Churchill, the Commission’s Director of Human Resources.
Overall, the report for the Commission was very good with only one exception noted. The auditors noted that three (3) ineligible employees had been enrolled in the System. These employees did not meet the System’s criteria for eligibility to be enrolled because they were contractual employees, rather than permanent employees.
5 The Honorable Stephen Wilson August 14, 2018 Page 2
I am pleased to report that subsequent to the issuance of the report, the Commission has submitted the required corrections to the Agency. The Agency has the information necessary to correct the membership records and refund all member contributions incorrectly received from these contractual employees.
I want to thank you and your staff for your efforts in properly enrolling your employees in the System and accurately reporting the payroll data on these employees to the Agency. By successfully working together, the Commission and the Agency can ensure that your employees receive accurate information from the Agency so that they may make informed decisions about their retirement benefits.
Sincerely,
R. Dean Kenderdine Executive Director

6 Maryland State Retirement Agency Compliance Review of Participating Employers Specific Findings and Recommendations by LGE
Name of Employer: Oueen Anne’s County Commission Location Code(s): .U Objective(s): To determine if only eligible employees have been enrolled.
Condition: We tested all of the employees actively enrolled in the System through their employment at the County as of 10/31/17. We identified three individuals enrolled under the County’s location code, despite being ineligible based on meeting the State’s criteria to be considered contractual.
Criteria: Employees of participating employers are required to be enrolled as members of the System as a condition of employment with few exceptions, such as contractual employees, retirees from a State system, and employees budgeted for less than 500 hours per fiscal year (State Personnel and Pensions Article (SP&P) §23-203 & §23-208).
“Contractual employee” means an individual who provides personal services to a participating employer for pay if all of the following conditions exist:
• The services and pay are specified in a current written personal services agreement between the employer and an individual; • There is an employer-employee relationship between the participating employer and the individual; and • Except as provided by law, the individual does not receive any fringe benefits.
Cause: The County enrolled the employees when they were expected to work more than 500 hours annually. However the County was unaware that as contractual employees, they were ineligible for enrollment regardless of their budgeted hours.
Effects: The individuals have participated in, and accrued benefits from the System, although they are not eligible to do so.
Recommendations: • The County should discontinue its practice of enrolling contractual employees, and stop reporting payroll data for the contractual employees currently enrolled.
• The County should submit 714 correction forms to the MSRA for the current calendar year’s contributions of the contractual employees currently enrolled.
• The County should contact the MSRA to coordinate its corrective actions.

Dear Queen Annes County Commissioners.
I wanted to take the time to deeply thank you for being so willingto donate $900 to my Eagle Scout Project. Without your donation none of this would be possible. The garden that you helped me give the residents of Foxxtown Manor is already producing beautiful crops. The residents adore it and seem to be excited about it. Thanks to your generosity. we were able to make it possible. Thanks again!
Yours in Scouting,
