One, congratulations. Two, thank you. And number three, we're not leaving. We are not leaving until it's done. And we'll be here for another 20 years to make sure it works so we can right that dam. All right. Thank you very, very much. All right. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Thank you, Team Maryland. Before we take questions, I do want to acknowledge a few other folks. And Sarah mentioned my former partner and colleague, Ben Cardin. He was also tenacious about this project. And we worked very closely together. And just like Congresswoman Elfrith picked up the baton from John Sarbanes in the House, Angela Alcer Brooks has helped pick up the baton. And she picked up that baton in the United States Senate. So I just want to thank her. She could not be here. So let's give them both a round of applause. So we're happy to answer any questions. And if not, we do have a chat. The council meeting will get ready to begin. Special meeting. Special meeting of the Annapolis City Council on Monday, September 28th, 2026 will be called to order at 7 p.m. At this time, I'm sorry, at this time, we'll have a moment of silence. At this time, would everyone willing and able please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you.

September 24th, 2026. Thanks everybody for being here with us today. We will get started with a roll call. Oliver Woman O'Neill. Present. Alderman Thorpe. Present. And I'm also here. At this time I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda. So moved. Second. Sorry, I was going to jump in for you if need be. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. All right. Agenda is approved. And can we get a motion for approval of the minutes from our last meeting on September 2nd? Motion. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Motion carries. All right. You know, I always say that I like it when we have supplemental appropriations that are grant money. But this is a very exciting one to have before us today. And really glad to see this come through. Director Simmons, you want to come up and tell us a little bit about SA-327? Is my mic on? Yes. Yep. Kevin Simmons, I'm the emergency manager for the city of Annapolis. I'm here with Kyle Levkowski. He's the emergency management grant coordinator. And we're going to talk to you about the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant. Now this serves as a critical resource for Annapolis public safety operations, providing essential support, and staff funding. While the program has historically been a reliable source of backing for our public safety teams, this year award arrives approximately one year behind schedule due to existing delays, federal holds, and ongoing litigation. And that played a part on how we really wanted to use the grant …

News for a great American city, great news for the great city of Annapolis, which is after many years, FEMA has released the $35 million in funds. $35 million in funds, that includes the $33 million that was part of the original city of Annapolis grant, and an additional $2.5 million to help with related upgrades for stormwater management. And this has been the result of work of Team Maryland. And you're going to hear from so many people who were part of that effort, but there were also many more who are represented here today that you won't hear from, but who you see here and others who could not join us today, including somebody who could not join us today, Mayor Buck ley, the former mayor of Annapolis. And it was his vision that really set this project in motion. And I heard from him last night. He said he couldn 't be here. I think he's taking one of his kids to college, but he was just thrilled, of course, that we were able to secure these funds. And to the new mayor, Mayor Lipman, and to the council, City Council here in Annapolis, thank you. Thank you for carrying on that vision with absolute perseverance. I was just telling the mayor that I have right here a text message that I received from him. That's all I'm not sure why we're saying virtual. For Thursday, September 17, 2026, we'll be called to order at 5 .01 p.m. At this time, would everyone willing and able, please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Thank you for joining us, and thanks again for the presentation last night. We are here for an informational session. Appreciate that you are here to do that. Are you introducing someone else to do that, or are you taking the lead on this? Yes, I was going to introduce our Board Commissioner, Bishop Coates. I was not sure if he was in the call yet. If you can just start with identifying yourself, I guess we all have our names in our boxes here, so I don't know if that's really necessary, but it just seems like... Sure.

The Department of Emergency Management is to proactively reduce these disaster risk and reliably manage consequences through collaborative work with Maryland's communities and partners. In Maryland, emergency management is a system of systems. We cannot do it alone. We are the counties and the local jurisdictions coupled with the state working with our state agencies and partners and with our private sector partners. We cannot do it alone. No one can and it's only through that system of systems that we do it. The Annapolis City Dock Hazard Mitigation Project is an excellent example of this type of work of everyone coming together. So the investment today comes a result of years of partnership and collaboration with the residents, business owners, and governments at every level. And I have to say we've been talking about it started in 2019. I started in state emergency management in 2004. This was a discussion then. It was a discussion then. It was a discussion of flooding back into the 1700s for Ellicott City and when it comes time for a model this will not only be a model but there's another really really good model in Frederick City that started with Agnes. And it took 20 years to build and about three or four years ago there was a flooding event and it worked. It worked. So we know that this funding will bring a significant return on investment for every dollar invested as I mentioned will save six in disaster recovery. And while the dollars matter what really matters is o …

Thank you very much. Motion carries. We'll start off with our fund transfer 127. Looking at centralization or possibly over centralization in the budget we just passed. And I'll turn it to Deputy City Manager Buckland to give us a little overview on this. It seems relatively straightforward but thank you. Yeah. So when we were doing the centralization for both IT and central services the first pass at that was basically drawing in funds related to broad classes of where it was budgeted. What kind of object code was it? But as we have gone through now and are doing the much more detailed implementation it's clear that there are a few things that were listed in there that were related to that topic but weren't part of the point of centralization. So that money got pulled into central services when it wasn 't part of the department. So that money got pulled into central services when it shouldn't have. It actually should have remained in the departments because it's not work that central services itself is doing. So, you know, uniforms and other things like that, that's still being done in the departments. So t …

All right. Meeting of the Finance Committee special meeting is called to order today, July 24th, 2026 at 105 p.m. At this time, I'll do a roll call. Alderman Thorpe, are you here? Here. Alderman O'Neill, are you here? Present. All right. And I'm here. At this time, is there a motion to approve the agenda with removing the minute approval, the approval of the minute, so that our agenda will just be R29 26? Is there a motion for that? So moved. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Motion carries. All right. We just have R2926 on the agenda today. I think that this is something that lots of folks have lots of thoughts on, and we want to not let it linger, but also we want the full council to be able to weigh in on this. So my hope is that the Finance Committee can just rapidly vote to take no action on this, and that will allow it to move out of committee. All right. So we'll be able to move out of committee, but still give us plenty of time to discuss it on Monday night. Is there any discussion on that? Thank you so much. All right. See, is there a motion to take no action on our call? You're talking about annexation? So moved. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. All right. Motion carries.

Alderman Schandemeier: So I cannot make any vote on the joint meeting since I was not there. So make the motion. Let's move to the first then.

So moved. Okay, all in favor? Do I have a second? Second. All in favor? Aye. Thank you again for making that motion and approval. Next on the agenda is general discussion section. We have ID 159-26, Far Creek Bridge Maintenance. Alderman Schottemeyer and Alderman Savage, would you like to start the discussion, please? Yes, Madam Chair. So I requested this meeting after we had three failures on the Spa Creek Bridge over the past over two weeks due to the heat. And I was hoping that we could invite folks from our Public Works Department and from State Highway, as they are the primary responsible entity for the maintenance of this bridge. And I don't know if missed to talk about what went wrong, what we did to get the bridge back operational, what the plan is to maintain it in the future, and what we're going to be doing to eventually replace it. Because I think it's kind of on its last legs. So I don't know if we have anyone from Public Works or from the State Highway joined us here today. Do we have anyone from one of those departments? No, I don't think so. Okay. So this is a pointless meeting then? Yeah. That's the purpose of it. Okay. Well, we can't go no further with that. Will, we'll just... Do you want to wait until September or do we want to just try to do this again? I mean, it's kind of too little too late to get anybody here, I think, for the rest of this month. I'm sorry we did all that to get a meeting. I know. But I don't know if anybody join us. I was hoping to g …

Harness the wind. A guy who overcame adversity. A young brown boy from projects. And I'm celebrating for not just me, for many others that have came out of situations of adversity. This is where it all started. This is where I used to work. Maybe 10 years ago, this was my station. He helped me out every single thing I did. Braiding hair, teaching me how to go. Teaching me how to schedule. Just trying to be the work all the time. All of them, this is where I all have it. Being raised with a culture of women, of hairdressers that I looked up to growing up, I was heavily equipped. I used to sit in hair salons and watch the ladies work. And I really learned a lot about being a hairstylist through my mentors in front of me. I mean, I have clients like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Kelly Row land, Yara Shahidi. I like glamorous hair. I like confident hair. I like hair that's been slept on and lived in and ruffled up. I told myself that I could dream. And I told myself that I could in a situation where I wasn 't supposed to. And so me standing here today is a huge honor because when I started my journey, I had no idea that this could be. But I kept going and I kept doing. Here we are today. I'm getting the keys to the city. On behalf of the city of Annapolis, we present you with the keys to the city. I honestly want to say thank you so much. Listen, I've been working really, really hard. And I love what I do. I love Annapolis. I want to be able to create space for younger individuals to be …

At this time, I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda with an amendment that moves our general discussion above supplemental appropriations. So the order would be business and miscellaneous, general discussion, then supplemental appropriations and adjournment. Is there a motion for that? So moved. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you very much. All right. Is there a motion to approve the minutes from the last finance committee meeting? So moved. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Beautiful. All right. So, Ms. Jai, would you prefer to give us a general finance department update before budget to actuals? Do you have a preference which way we go? All right. Let's just start with the budget to actuals. So, first of all, thank you so much for getting these to us, to the whole team. And I will tell you just truthfully that I skimmed through it this morning. I have not had a chance to dig into it quite as much as I would have liked. But our goal here really is just to look through this and be able to ask you any questions. But also, if there's anything off the bat that you think that you want to call our attention to, I'd put the baton in your hands before we start peppering you. Good morning, everyone. So, of course, this is my first time actually looking at this report. And it's a wealth of informat …
