Each service with General Funds also includes a “change table” which summarizes the changes from the Fiscal 2020 adopted appropriation to the Fiscal 2021 recommended funding level. The reader should note the following items in these tables: • Change in Employee Compensation and Benefits: The Fiscal 2021 budget assumes a pay freeze or furlough to be negotiated across all bargaining units. Other changes in compensation and benefits reflected in the tables are the result of thefillingof previously vacant positions; variance in longevity, step, performance, promotions, and cost of living increases received byem‐ ployees; and changes in the budget for overtime, contractual personnel, temporary and part‐time personnel, employee health plan enrollment choices, and other salary and benefit changes. • Centralization of Pay for Performance Allocation: The Fiscal 2021 budget centralizes Pay for Performance funding, whereas previously, it was allocated across all agencies with MAPS employees eligible to receive this incentive. Pay for Performance is allocated centrally in Miscellaneous General Expenses in Fiscal 2021. Eligible MAPS employees are awarded Pay for Performance funding as either a one‐time bonus or an increase in salary based on yearly performance reviews. The implementation ofthis program may be delayed in Fiscal 2021 pending new revenue projections as the economy recovers and pending negotiations with bargaining units concerning freezing pay or furloughs. The values reflected in the tables reflect the transfer of Pay for Performance allocations from each agency to a central budget location. • Adjustment for Active Employee Health Benefit Savings: The Fiscal 2021 budget assumes active employee health benefit savings, to be negotiated, beginning January 1, 2021. The values reflected in the tables in this category reflect the anticipated Citysavings for active employee health care premiums. • Adjustment for Fleet Rental, Repair, and Fuel Charges: Agency budgets include the cost of vehicle rental and maintenance through the Department of General Services. Vehicle rental costs decrease in Fiscal 2021 due to an adjustment to the master lease fleet modernization debt repayment schedule. The Fiscal 2021 budget also assumes vehicle maintenance savings per agencyplans 5 Fiscal 2021 to turn in older vehicles with high maintenance costs; $900,000 of those budgeted fleet maintenance savings are in Police and Fire. For fuel costs, the City’s fleet consumes both regular gasoline and diesel fuel. This budget assumes a flat fuel consumption rate, maintains the DGS tank management fee, and assumes a 22% decrease in overall fuel costs in Fiscal 2021, due to the declining gasoline prices from

  • Rg 1 Baltimore Town Commissioners (1729-97)
    RG 1 BALTIMORE TOWN COMMISSIONERS (1729-97) RG. 1 BALTIMORE TOWN COMMISSIONERS 1729-1797 The Baltimore Town Commissioners was created in 1729 as part of the legislative act for "erecting" Baltimore Town. The body consisted of seven commissioners, appointed for life, empowered to buy land, survey and sell lots, and settle disputes about property boundaries. The commission was the sole vestige of town government until the early 1780*s. In 1745 when Jones Town merged with Baltimore, the commissioners were given the authority to procure a three pound annual assessment from residents. In 1784 they were empowered to erect street lamps and have them lighted, to appoint constables and watchmen, to levy a tax on property, and to appoint a treasurer. Between 1784 and 1793 the commissioners were authorized justices of the peace. Occasionally special duties were assigned to them by the Maryland Legislature, including construction of market houses, maintenance of streets, and other special assessments and taxes. By the early 1780!s the commissioners shared their light administrative responsibilities with a Board of Special Commissioners and a Board of Port Wardens. The state government formed the latter two bodies in 1782 and 1783 respectively. They made up the remainder of the town's self government until its incorporation in 1796. The Special Commissioners were largely responsible for the construction and maintenance of streets and bridges. The Board of Port Wardens regulated the construction of wharves, surveyed the harbor, and supervised the collection of a duty on all vessels entering and leaving the port. Despite the three boards, essential government functions remained in Annapolis with the state government.

  • Cross Keys Valve House
    The Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation Landmark Designation Report April 9, 2013 Cross Keys Valve House 5106 Falls Road Baltimore, Maryland Commission for historical & architectural preservation KATHLEEN KOTARBA, Executive Director Charles L. Benton, Jr. Building 417 East Fayette Street Eighth Floor Baltimore, MD 21202-3416 410-396-4866 STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE THOMAS J. STOSUR Mayor Director Significance Summary The Cross Keys Valve House was one of three stone Classical Revival gatehouses that serviced Baltimore City’s municipal water system along a conduit that ran from Lake Roland to the Mt. Royal Reservoir. Begun in 1858 and completed in 1862, this gravity- powered conduit system then located in Baltimore County provided the citizens of Baltimore with safe clean water. It was an engineering marvel when completed, and was the city’s first truly public utility. The waterworks was designed by James Slade, City Engineer for Boston and consulting engineer for the Baltimore Waterworks, and the waterworks was informed by the best practices of waterworks and engineers in other major American cities. The Cross Keys Valve House, completed in 1860, was originally called the “Harper Waste Weir”, which described a lower chamber in the valve house that collected debris from the water as it rushed through the conduit on its way to the city boundaries. The Valve House and the conduit over which it sits played a significant role in the city’s municipal water system, and represents a major engineering feat for the City of Baltimore. Property History This property is located just north of the modern gatehouse entrance of the Village of Cross Keys on the west side of Falls Road.

    MARYLAND Hisorical Magazine FALL/WINTER 2017 11–195 Maryland Blood: An American Fam- ily in War and Peace, the Hamble- tons 1657 to the Present Martha Frick Symington Sanger AT Te dawn of Te seventeenth century, immigrants to this country arrived with dreams of conquering a new frontier. Families were willing to embrace a life of strife and hardship but with great hopes of achieving prominence and wealth. Such is the case with the Hambleton family. From William Hambleton’s arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major confict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has participated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Teir achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government ofcials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also re- markable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. Te blood of the Hambletons is also the blood of Maryland, a rich land stretching from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the tidal basins of the mighty Chesapeake to the mountains of the west, a poetic framework that illuminates one truly American family that continues its legacy of building new generations of strong Americans. Martha Frick Symington Sanger is an eleventh-gener- ation descendant of pioneer William Hambleton and a great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick. She is the au- thor of Henry Clay Frick: An Intimate Portrait, Te Henry Clay Frick Houses, and Helen Clay Frick: Bittersweet Heir- ess.

  • Building Suburban Power
    BUILDING SUBURBAN POWER by Paige Glotzer A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February, 2016 © 2016 Paige Glotzer All Rights Reserved Abstract "Building Suburban Power" examines how suburban developers constructed a discriminatory housing market between the 1890s and the 1960s. It uses corporate records to offer a granular look at the everyday practices of firms in order to link their daily, seemingly mundane decisions, to the changing global circulation of people and capital at the turn of the century on one hand and the emergence of federal housing policy in the 1930s and 40s on the other. Between these two time periods, suburban developers turned their informal communication channels into a powerful real estate professional organization that they helmed to standardize a suburban housing market. Through these long-running attempts to become "professionals," a small group of suburban developers parlayed their early beliefs about desirable communities into legitimized "common sense." The dissertation follows the money, ideas, and practices of one firm, the Roland Park Company of Baltimore, Maryland, which its peer companies often held up as a model of suburban development operations in the United States. Utilizing a network- oriented approach, it often enters and leaves the Roland Park Company offices in Baltimore to encompass a widening set of actors that ultimately codified enduring principles about property. These principles still in part configure uneven political, economic, and culture power in the United States. Readers: N.D.B Connolly, Mary Ryan, Angus Burgin, Graham Mooney, David Freund ii Acknowledgments It really took a village.
