These families are at high risk for experiencing domestic, economic, educational, and behavioral instability. But being behind bars doesn't have to sever family bonds or perpetuate the criminal justice cycle. By tapping into community-based resources and an inmate’s love for their child, local jails teach skills to help parents and their kids cope with incarceration and life outside the walls. In this session, learn more about innovative and award-winning programs that strive to break the cycle, keep families united, and ultimately create stability within the household and community.

16 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2016 Fighting Fire with Fiber? Connecting to Next Gen 9-1-1 Chesapeake G Hosted by MACo’s Emergency Management & IT Directors Affiliates Sponsored by SecuLore Solutions As 20th century technologies phase out, counties must reinvent their emergency call systems. One key issue that must be addressed is how to fill the void of legacy systems that are no longer supported—through building costly and complicated fiber optic and wireless services to replace them. While the technology to implement Next Generation 9-1-1 is available now, there are many issues that local governments must work through relating to technology standards, the process of transition, governance, and funding. In this session, panelists will highlight local progress, identify gaps, and offer ideas on how to best move forward with building a statewide Next Generation 9-1-1 network. Speakers: Richard K. Brooks III, Director, Department of Emergency Services, Cecil County Steve Souder, Director, Fairfax County 9-1-1 Christopher Merdon, Chief Operating Officer, NTT Data William Ferretti, Director, 9-1-1 ECC, Montgomery County Moderator: The Honorable Cheryl Kagan, MD State Senate BATer Up! Understanding the BAT Septic System Issue Chesapeake F Hosted by MACo’s Environmental Health Affiliate In 2012, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) adopted regulations mandating the use of BAT (Best Available nitrogen removal Technology) septic systems outside of a critical area. The mandate prompted concerns from MACo and numerous other stakeholders about effectiveness and cost. In response to those concerns, Governor Hogan and MDE have proposed regulations to repeal the BAT mandate. Panelists will provide an overview of the regulations, the science and policy issues related to BAT septic systems, and key stakeholder perspectives.

32 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2016 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM AFFILIATE SESSIONS Winter Is Coming: Fortify Your Shelters for Frosty Weather Chesapeake E Hosted by MACo's Aging, Emergency Management Directors, and Human Services Affiliates While resources for sheltering have been stretched thin in recent years, through strengthening partnerships and improving data sharing, local jurisdictions are working diligently to provide shelter to the homeless throughout the year. Sheltering those experiencing homelessness during the coldest months can be the most challenging. Committed county partnerships, resource sharing and tracking as well as consistent data collection throughout the season enhance the level of quality provided to those seeking shelter year-round and particularly during the coldest months. In this session learn about state wide data available on this topic. Also learn how to assess your local partnerships, resources, and data to strengthen the sheltering provided by your local community to meet the needs of your most vulnerable neighbors. Speakers: Jessica Nusbaum, Individual Assistance Officer/Community Preparedness Coordinator, Maryland Emergency Management Agency Jodie Ostoich, Executive Director, Reach of Washington County Heather Sheridan, Director of Homeless Services, MD Department of Human Resources Christine Cambareri Kay, Director, Citizen Services, Carroll County Government Moderator: The Honorable Stephen Wantz, President, Carroll County Commissioners
Cannabis in the Workplace: Clearing the Haze Chesapeake C Hosted by MACo's Human Resources Affiliate After years of working to establish drug-free workplaces, employers now face the possibility of legal drug users within their organizations. As long as it remains illegal under federal law, many employers remain committed to their drug-free policies and intend to continue testing applicants and employees for cannabis. Other employers may decide to modify their current policies based on changes in state law. With the numerous legal and policy considerations swirling around medical cannabis, employers and workers alike are seeking clarification. In this session, representatives from the public and private sectors will discuss the many liability and logistical issues due to the changing landscape of state medical cannabis laws, including the potential for accommodation requests and wrongful termination claims. Attend this session to hear more about what to expect in the near future and the best practices to protect your workplace and employees. Speakers: William C. Tilburg, JD, Deputy Director, University System of Maryland Stephen Fisher, M.D., Ph.D, Director of Health Services & Medical Advisor to CEO, Chesapeake Employers' Insurance Company Shad Ewart, Professor, Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Emerging Markets: Marijuana Legalization, Anne Arundel Community College Moderator: The Honorable William Valentine, Commissioner, Allegany County

34 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2016 The New Wild, Wild West? Energy and Open Space Chesapeake G Hosted by MACo’s Planners Affiliate For decades, Maryland has preempted local land use and environmental requirements for the siting of large baseline powerplants. These facilities are critical to the energy grid and were somewhat limited in their locations due to infrastructure and siting requirements. However, a new generation of energy facilities (such as solar, wind, gasification, or small incinerators) can be placed almost anywhere—with little or no additional infrastructure. Out of concern for the impact of these new types of facilities on agriculture and open space, MACo has proposed removing the preemption for these kinds of “dispersed” facilities as part of its 2017 Legislative Initiatives. Panelists will provide an overview of the issue, county concerns, and stakeholder perspectives. Speakers: Adam W. Stratton, MREM, Project Origination Manager, Algonquin Power Andrew Gohn, Eastern Region Director, American Wind Energy Association Amy G. Moredock, Director, Planning, Housing, & Zoning, Kent County Susan T. Gray, Deputy Director, Power Plant Assessment Divison, MD Department of Natural Resources Moderator: The Honorable Carl Anderton, Maryland House of Delegates (invited)
Budgeting for Bust or Boom Chesapeake F Hosted by MACo’s Budget & Finance Officers Affiliate As our counties bounce back from the Great Recession more resilient than ever, it becomes especially important to plan and save now to protect against whatever may come next. With furloughs and freezes behind us for the time being, our present reality of stagnant property tax revenues and sluggish income growth leaves us in a different position than we were in ten years ago—and prudence warrants budgeting accordingly. Learn about how some of our counties’ financial experts are incorporating sound financial management practices to shore up reserves, budget conservatively, and prep for whatever rain tomorrow may bring. Speakers: Ted Zaleski, Director, Department of Management & Budget, Carroll County Mira Green, Budget Management Analyst, City of Baltimore Moderator: The Honorable Mike McKay, Maryland House of Delegates (invited)

It is imperative that communities, local governments, and state entities come together to work with families and provide financial support for proven, comprehensive programs designed to address all facets of a child's development. Strong support systems can ensure that a child enters the school system physically and mentally healthy and ready to learn. This session will discuss the components of effective community-based programs focused on developing healthy children and families and on improving population health. Speakers: Leana S.

A Leg to Stand On - Who Can Challenge Local Zoning? Chesapeake F Hosted by MACo’s Attorneys Affiliate In response to a recent Maryland Court of Appeals holding (Anne Arundel County v. Bell), legislation was introduced during the 2016 Session (HB 243/SB 166) that would have altered who could legally challenge comprehensive zoning decisions made by a county or municipality. While the bills did not move, the House Environment & Transportation Committee is convening a workgroup to further examine the issue in anticipation of revised legislation for the 2017 Session. Panelists will provide an overview of the “standing” issue, the Bell holding, and key stakeholder perspectives. Speakers: Elaine Lutz, Maryland Attorney, Chesapeake Bay Foundation Gregory J. Swain, Supervising County Attorney, Anne Arundel County Tom Ballentine, V.

Fortunately, an array of resources exist to help. A variety of new web-based tools are emerging that provide quick and easy access to the best available data related to landscapes and environmental conditions. With increased awareness of these kind of applications, counties will be better equipped to meet their environmental program goals. During this session, participants will learn about training, data, and tools to help guide green infrastructure projects and grant resources to address short- and long-term coastal hazards, such as coastal flooding, storm surge, and sea level rise.
