Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments—known as COG—is a regional organi- zation comprised of 21 local governments surrounding our nation’s capital, plus area members of the Maryland and Virginia legislatures, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives. It provides a focus for action and develops sound regional responses to such issues as the environment, affordable housing, economic development, health and family concerns, human services, population growth, public safety, and transportation. Founded in 1957, COG is an independent, nonprofit association. It is supported by financial contributions from its participating local governments, federal and state grants and contracts, and donations from foundations and the private sector. Membership COG has more than 250 members, including the governing officials of COG’s participating governments, plus Maryland, Virginia, and congressional legislators for districts in the metropolitan Washington area. Policies are set by the full membership acting through the Board of Directors, the Transportation Planning Board, and the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee. These three independent policy boards are responsible for a broad range of issues under the COG umbrella, and are supported by an energetic group of stakeholders from diverse disciplines. Supporting groups help shape programs and technical procedures through the dedicated work of public servants whose occupations span a wide range, from police chiefs to social workers.

  • White Flint 2 Sector Plan
    Approved and Adopted JANUARY 2018 Abstract This Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to the approved and adopted 1992North Bethesda/Garrett Park Master Plan and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan, as amended. It also amends The General Plan (On Wedges and Corridors) for the Physical Development of the Mary- land-Washington Regional District in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, as amended, the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways, as amended, and the Countywide Bikeways Functional Master Plan, as amended. This Plan focuses on land use, appropriate density and mobility options for 460 acres located be- tween three areas: the City of Rockville, the 2009 Twinbrook Sector Plan area and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan area. Recommendations are made for zoning, urban design, public facilities and streets. Master and sector plans convey land use policy for defined geographic areas and should be interpreted together with relevant countywide functional plans and County laws and regulations. Plan recommendations provide comprehensive guidelines for the use of public and private land; and should be referred to by pub- lic officials and private individuals when making land use decisions. Public and private land use decisions that promote plan goals are essential to fulling a plan’s vision. Master and sector plans look ahead 20 years from the date of the adoption, although they are intended to be revised every 10 to 15 years. Moreover, the circumstances when a plan is adopted will change and the specifics of a plan may become less relevant over time. Plans do not specify all development possi- bilities.

  • IN the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT for the DISTRICT of MARYLAND (Southern Division) JOHN and KIMBERLY BEAHN, Individually and A
    Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 1 of 47 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND (Southern Division) JOHN AND KIMBERLY BEAHN, individually and as parents and next friends of P.B., M.B., AND B.B., MINORS, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, et al. Case No.: _______________ PLAINTIFFS, v. TRAVIS A. GAYLES, et al. DEFENDANTS. PLAINTIFFS’ MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF TEMPORARY, PRELIMINARY, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF On Friday evening, after business hours, and without warning, the Montgomery County Health Officer abruptly announced that all private and religious schools in Montgomery County are “prohibited from physically re-opening for in-person instruction through October 1, 2020.” This blanket order, directed only at religious and private schools, purports to effectively prevent more than 23,000 Montgomery County students from returning to school in the coming weeks. The surprise order was stunning in its abruptness and timing. It was issued on the eve of school reopening, without notice to parents, students, or schools. Families had paid tuition and made firm enrollment decisions. Most schools had spent months researching, planning and installing expensive retrofitting of their schools, following CDC and State guidelines for reopening. Since the pandemic broke in March, neither State nor County government has found it necessary to issue any order directed at religious or private schools prior to this one. And the order was not in response to any COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, there has not been a single 1 Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 2 of 47 reported COVID-19 cases in any Montgomery County religious or private school during the pandemic.

    Brooklyn Law Review Volume 76 | Issue 4 Article 4 2011 Cities @ Crossroads: Digital Technology and Local Democracy in America Jennifer Shkabatur Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/blr Recommended Citation Jennifer Shkabatur, Cities @ Crossroads: Digital Technology and Local Democracy in America, 76 Brook. L. Rev. (2011). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/blr/vol76/iss4/4 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. Cities @ Crossroads DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA Jennifer Shkabatur* Digital technology’s transformative potential for democratic governance is hardly questioned, but it has not yet been tackled in legal scholarship. This article starts filling this gap by exploring digital technology’s role in local governance. The article situates the relations between cities and citizens along two complementary axes: (1) consumerism (i.e., citizens are regarded as consumers of city-provided services) and (2) participation (i.e., citizens play an active role in local decision making and agenda setting). The article explains how digital technology fits into this framework and develops performance criteria to evaluate local digital initiatives. Next, the article argues, while American cities reasonably satisfy consumerist, service-provision requirements, they fail to benefit from digital technology’s participatory potential. This result is lamentable, but it is not inevitable. Drawing on recent digital initiatives in various European cities, the article proposes a framework to enhance digital participatory practices in American municipalities.

The paper develops a framework of possible actions regarding Internet or cyber governance to produce contexts for the timeline of significant policy statements by U.S. government officials and agencies on the topic. In the resulting narrative, Internet governance policy rises from a relatively marginal issue for the foreign policy establishment to a significant component of U.S.

  • Solutions Government Technology Opportunity in the 21St Century
    Appendix Report and Article Summaries As mentioned in the Introduction in Volume 1, this report from the Commission on Government Technology Opportunity in the 21st Century is the latest of many studies that examine and recommend improvements to the Federal Government’s IT acquisition process. What makes this study distinctive is that it focuses not only on recommendations for improving the process, but also on specific actions that OMB, individual agencies, and industry can take to overcome obstacles that have impeded the implementation of similar recommendations in the past. Thus, while contributing a new perspective, this report also owes much to and draws much from previous reports as well as articles from a variety of publications that have focused on similar issues. These publications are listed in Figure A-1 and summarized in the pages that follow.

  • A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service
    A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service Membership Overview About Voices for National Service PARTNERING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND NATIONAL SERVICE Voices for National Service is a coalition of national, state and local service organizations working together to build bipartisan support for national service, develop policies to expand and strengthen service opportunities for all Americans, and to ensure a robust federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Voices for National Service was founded in 2003 in the wake of a successful campaign to save AmeriCorps from sudden and significant proposed cuts. The national service field organized and launched a successful “Save AmeriCorps” campaign that ultimately restored--and in fact increased--federal funding for CNCS and AmeriCorps within one year. Following the successful 2003 Save AmeriCorps campaign, the national service community established Voices for National Service, a permanent field-based coalition dedicated to protecting and growing the federal investment in national service. City Year serves as the organizational and operational host of Voices for National Service and the coalition’s work is guided by a Steering Committee of CEOs of service organizations and leaders of state service commissions. The work of Voices for National Service is made possible through membership dues, philanthropic grants and gifts, and annual support from co- chairs and members of Voices for National Service’s Business Council and Champions Circle.
