LEONARDTOWN, MD – The Commissioners of St. Mary’s County (CSMC) began their business meeting with an invocation and the pledge, followed by approval of the consent agenda.
The Commissioners were then introduced to newly designated Judge Kevin Hill and Magistrate Sue Ann Armitage.
The CSMC then presented commendations to local Maryland Star of Life award recipients, in recognition of their swift and selfless actions in response to a medical emergency this past November, which directly contributed to saving a life.
For their main agenda item, the Commissioners considered whether to direct the County Attorney’s Office and the Department of Land Use & Growth Management to evaluate and draft proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance’s regulations related to future fuel sale stations. Following discussion, a motion to direct staff study possible amendments did not pass, and no further action will be taken at this time.
During County Administrator Time, the Commissioners took the following action:
- Reviewed future CSMC meeting agendas.
- Approved the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office (SMCSO) request to purchase upgraded software and equipment for investigative purposes using locally forfeited funds.
- Approved the SMCSO Annual Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification for FY25.
- Approved the SMCSO FY26 Sex Offender Compliance and Enforcement grant award.
- Approved the Business Site Improvement Grant application to support potential development and infrastructure improvements at AeroPark.
- Approved for the FY26 Long-Term Care and Dementia Care Navigation Notification of Grant Award for the Department of Aging & Human Services.
- Approved the budget amendment transferring funds from the Capital Reserve to the St. Clement’s Island Museum construction project.
- Authorized the Procurement Officer to award the St. Clement's Island Museum construction project to W.M. Davis, Inc.
