However, the County Council-County Manager system was seen to be inadequate for the rapidly growing population of the County who were demanding more services and accountability from the local government. Many citizens and civic groups called for a charter review to determine whether the executive, administrative, and legislative functions should be separated and an independent County Executive elected by the voters for a four year term. Although the Charter Review Committee appointed in 1965 opposed this plan, the County Council ignored its advice, and submitted the question of an elected County Executive to the voters in 1966, when it was soundly defeated. The County Council was undeterred, and, early in 1967, Council members Richmond M. Keeney and Idamae Garrott proposed the establishment of another commission “to draft a new charter, which would provide for full separation of powers and an elected county executive” [Washington Post and Washington Star, January 11, 1967, as quoted on page 370 in Richard K.

Editor Issued By FRED L. WINELAND Secretary of State Annapolis, Maryland Distributed and Sold By Department of General Services Hall of Records Commission Annapolis, Maryland The John D. Lucas Printing Company 2601 Sisson Street Baltimore, Md. 21211 Copyright 1975 By The Hall of Records Commission of the State of Maryland FOREWORD The MARYLAND MANUAL SUPPLEMENT for 1975-1976, is an updated and abbreviated version of the 1973-1974 MARYLAND MANUAL. It contains an overview of State and local Government reflecting organizational and personnel changes that have occurred since the spring of 1974. With its name and general index and tele- phone numbers, including those for members of the General Assembly, it should prove an invaluable reference tool. However, it should be used in conjunction with the current MARYLAND MANUAL, be- cause it does not contain agency descriptions, certain election returns, historical data, or relevant documents such as Maryland’s Charter and the State Constitution, all of which are to be found in the 1973- 1974 MANUAL. As is the case with the full MARYLAND MANUAL, this SUP- PLEMENT could not have been compiled without the cooperation of many individuals and agencies, and to them we are greatly in- debted. Although it is not practical to mention each by name we are especially grateful to the Honorable George R. Lewis, Secretary of the Department of General Services, of which we are a part, for his constant support and encouragement of the project.

  • MCREA's 31St ANNUAL MEETING
    July 2008 MCREA’s 31ST ANNUAL MEETING The meeting was held on Tuesday, June 3rd in the Council Office Building Cafeteria in Rockville. After being called to order in a room crowded with retirees, everyone was welcomed. It was noted that representatives of the Montgomery County Employees Federal Credit Union and CareFirst Blue Cross were present to answer questions and had materials to distribute. The Board of Director introduced themselves. Benefits Update ‐ A Benefits update was given by Wes Girling, Division Manager for Benefits and Information Technology, Office of Human Resources. Wes may be familiar to some of you. He worked in OHR in the 1970s before moving to the Board of Education. He retired from Montgomery County Public Schools this spring, and accepted a contractual position in OHR. Wes is extremely knowledgeable about benefits, and has participated on the interagency benefits group known as The Working Group on Retiree Group Insurance Benefits. He described the proposed changes to the benefits program for both employees and retirees. As a part of the bargaining process, several health benefit changes were accepted by the unions that were passed on to retirees as a cost savings effort. (Note: these changes apply only to 2,769 retirees in the Prescription Drug Plan. It does not apply to retirees who have Indemnity or Kaiser insurance.) These changes do not become effective until January 1, 2009. All of these changes were obviously of great concern for retirees, and there were many questions and comments. Responding to retiree concerns to change the High Option Prescription Drug plan cost, the County Council voted to phase in the cost sharing changes over a three‐year period.

I. INTRODUCTION In the early 1960s, representatives of ten planning commissions from the metropolitan region of Washington, D. C. drafted a farsighted plan for the future growth of their territories, which they called "Wedges and Corridors." Inspired by this vision, Montgomery County, Maryland, located on the northwest border of the District of Columbia, in 1964 adopted its own version of the Wedges and Corridors plan, entitled the General Plan for the Year 2000.1 Montgomery County’s plan, like the regional plan, set forth a vision of preserving open spaces in “wedges” while channeling new residential and commercial development into a series of urban centers along the county’s transportation corridors, one of which would contain a proposed mass transit line.
