CLUB Reports
The November meeting was discussed, as well as the CC Dems
sign rally to be held the day before the election. The club
is in the hole and it was debated as to whether the CCDCC
can help out?

The December meeting will likely be an informal dinner, and
the club will look to be reserving the Buttersburg Inn for
the 11th.

Neil's Report
The Master Plan was the dominant topic of Neil's report.
There's a lot of controversy surrounding the meetings and
the content of the plan. There was also no mention of
rezoning in the plan which was what had a lot of people
stirred. The potential conflict of interest regarding
Frazier if elected Commissioner was discussed, and potential
CCDCC action if movement was to take place on that front.
Sheriff is requesting $406,000 to house inmates at
Allegheny, and Howard County detention centers. The solid
waste study by KCI was to be released this morning, but was
not. The endorsement of Commissioner Rothschild by the Oath
Keepers was discussed, as well as helping out Jim Rowe, the
write-in candidate in that district. Comm. Howard proposed
Mass Transit Protection Resolution to keep transportation
services only to the county. The undertones of the
resolution and how binding it is was discussed, as well as,
the timing and effects it would have.

Complaints about the Carroll County flag on the mailer was
discussed, and the criteria and mailing list for the last
mailer was debated around the table.

Mitch E. volunteered to begin work with the volunteer list,
and Zach H. offered to help search for an intern or other
volunteer to assist Mitch with data entry and the list.

The meeting adjourned at 9:02pm after a motion was made by
Frank R.

The next meeting of the CCDCC will be at 7pm in the Small
Meeting Room of the Finksburg Library.

Sincerely, Zach Hands
