Anderson. District 4 Evecutice Assistant to County Commissioners: Margie A. i—buck County Attorney: Patrick Thompson, Esquire October 23, 2018 Residents of Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority: You may have recently received a newsletter from the Housing Authority containing a number of misstatements. The overall message: the Queen Anne’s County Commissioners have not been doing their part to support our Housing Authority residents. That is a false statement. Your Commissioners are energetically trying to make things better by questioning the rent policies, occupation rates and maintenance practices of the Housing Authority. Months ago we were disturbed by a sudden and large rent increase. We wanted to know the justification. \Vhile looking into this, we discovered what might be inconsistencies with vacant apartments, maintenance of the facilities and other shortcomings. These might arise from management operations that were not what Queen Anne’s citizens should expect. We have repeatedly requested financial records and other information fi-om the Housing Authority. We also have attempted to appoint Housing Authority Board Members who will represent your interests energetically. This effort to improve the practices and policies of the Housing Authority has apparently upset the management. Rest assured that such threats and assertions as you are “at risk to become homeless’ are absolutely not true. Other claims are false and misleading. We are not going to give them any reality by listing them. You can depend that we stand behind the residents. ‘We want to see the residences are well maintained, and that the rents remain affordable and transparent. We hope you were not alarmed by the “newsletter” which was a good example of fake news. The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners will continue to do our best to provide safe, affordable, and well maintained residences. We do not have control over the day-to-day operations of the Housing Authority, but we will not stop attempting to see that you get the management and services which you and our County deserve. Sincerely. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY Stephen Wilson. President James J. Moran Jack N. Wilson Robert Charles Buckey Mark A.

Anderson, District 4 MEMORANDUM Date: October 23, 2018 To: County Commissioners ACTION ITEM From: R. Shane Moore, PE Subject: Cross County Connector Trail Bid Award The Roads Division is excited to report that we have received a recommendation, from the Chief Engineer for Operations, State Highway Administration, to award the Cross Connector County Trail (CCCT), to the Corman Kokosing Company with a low bid $3,535,000.00. See Attached Memo. The formal State Highway Administration Transportation Alternative Program (SHA TAP) approval letter will follow. The Roads Division held the CCCT bid opening on August 8, 2018 and in accordance with Federal Highway and SHA TAP guidelines a concurrence package was prepared and submitted for their review and approval. See attached August 8th bid results sheet. The low bid is well within the engineer’s estimate of $4,660,642.98. As the CCCT is a Federal Aid project on an 80/20 proportion cost sharing basis the construction costs breakdown as follows; $2,828,000 (Federal) and $707,000 (County). Currently the County has $1,329,155 in remaining funds for construction and inspection. We recommend awarding the CCCT bid to Corman Kokosing Company, Baltimore MD, in the amount of $3,535,000 dependent on receiving the official SHA TAP approval letter. Requested Action: I move to award the Cross County Connector Trail bid to Corman Kokosing Company, Baltimore MD, in the amount of $3,535,000 and authorize the Director of the Department of Public Works to execute the construction contract upon receipt of the official SHA TAP approval letter. • • n QA LIVE WORK., PLAY . - VtSdqueencHlnes.com things to do...places to go iays to grow your husiness...scan for info 1L 2 “.1 B1JSt4 c Project Description This project, currently under design, is located in Queen Anne’s County near the intersection of Piney Narrows Road and Maryland Route 18 in Grasonville, Maryland.

  • Located at the Western End of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Is A
    QA-587 Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Chester, Queen Anne's County Constructed circa 1890 - circa 2000 Private Located at the western end of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District is a primarily linear district that runs along both Cox Neck Road and Postal Road near their intersection. The district runs south along the east side of Cox Neck Road for approximately one-tenth of a mile, and east along Postal Road on both sides for approximately one-third of a mile. Now almost exclusively commercial, the overwhelming majority of the resources appear to have been constructed as single dwellings. The community is composed of 31 resources - 21 contributing properties and ten non-contributing properties - that display several popular vernacular architectural forms and styles spanning primarily the first half of the twentieth century. No single form or style dominates the district, although a significant number of mid- twentieth-century tract houses in a modified Cape Cod form are present. Non-historic buildings constructed between circa 1960 and circa 2000 are interspersed with the historic buildings. The historic buildings of the survey district represent a good collection of late nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century architectural forms and styles found in Queen Anne's County. The district retains its linear pattern of development tied to Postal Road east of the intersection with Cox Neck Road. Early residents were merchants who served travelers along the Centreville to Broad Creek Road (now Maryland Route 18), and local farmers, watermen, and others who lived on Cox Neck Road. The district's buildings reflect the economic growth in this area of Chester from the 1890s (following the substantial growth in the maritime industry), to the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and U.S.
