Dayhoff: Carroll made great by many who have recently passed
away
By Kevin Dayhoff January 27, 2017 Our community lost a
number of distinguished community leaders in 2016. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/history/ph-cc-dayhoff-012917-20170127-column.html
Recently, a number of us gathered to trade stories and pay
our respects to Woody Swam at the Eckhardt Funeral Chapel in Manchester.
[…]
“An old African proverb says, "When an old man dies, a
library burns to the ground." This winter I have attended more funerals
than I care to recall. Many of the folks were in their 80s or 90s. Community
leaders, who by their sacrifice, hard work, and endeavor, helped make Carroll
County what it is we enjoy today. In their passing, they take volumes of
history with them…”
[…]
Our community lost a number of distinguished community
leaders in 2016. Folks such as T. Bryan McIntire, who passed away on Dec. 16 at
age 86. McIntire served as the Carroll County state's attorney from 1962 to 1970.
Dave Schaeffer, 96, died on Dec. 20. After Schaeffer served
in the Army during World War II, he started the Schaeffer Lumber Company in
1946 with his dad, and his brother.
“My Westminster High School class of 1971 classmates Bob
Hyer and Doug Menchey died in 2016. Menchey worked for many folks in Carroll
County with the Menchey Construction Company. Hyer was a 1975 graduate of the
U.S. Naval Academy…”

The next
meeting “Carroll CAN” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in
Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m.
At the
January 26th, 2017 meeting of the Carroll County NAACP, Pam
Zappardino reported that a grass roots organization has formed in Carroll to
advocate for positive changes in the community.
The next
meeting “Carroll CAN” - organized by “Together We Will,” will take place at the
Carroll County Public Library in Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m. This will
be about the 3rd meeting. More information may be found on the
organization’s website here: https://carrollcan.org/
++++++++++++++++++
The next
meeting “Carroll CAN” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in
Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m.
According
to recent information on the Carroll Can listserve:
“…Come to the Carroll CAN meeting
at Westminster library at 2pm today! -AND/OR- If you are able to do so, please
sign up to help with a committee that you may have an interest in or maybe even
start your own if there is a need. We'd love to have some more people offer
their knowledge on specific topics as well to add content to our website and
keep the group informed.
“Some examples of the volunteer
needs are: Writer of Weekly/Monthly newsletter and Representatives’ Calendars
Liaison - report to communications/social media chairs when representatives
will have town halls”
We began
with a meeting in November 2016 at a Denny’s in Westminster. We used the time
to feel empowered and encouraged that a group had formed (we were only 300
members on a Facebook group site at the time, but just that was so exciting at
the time!). We shared our stories about why we had come, and there was a common
theme of “I thought I was the only one.” The overwhelming feeling was one
of relief to have found fellow Carroll County residents who shared the same
values and concerns.
And then
we hit the ground running!
We
developed an organizational and leadership structure, which continues to grow
as we find our groove.
We
organized a bus to attend the Women’s March on Washington. That wound up
becoming 3 buses, with 136 passengers! For many, it was their first march
and their first moment of activism! We had a volunteer design our green
“March On” buttons that we now wear proudly. After the march, a group of
marchers went to a local restaurant for dinner, still in their pink hats, and
they received applause and invited others to join our group!
We
programmed our representatives’ numbers into our phones, and faced our
nervousness and discomfort by making calls to their offices. We have now
become comfortable with something that most of us had never done before 2017!
We met
for monthly meetings, and the rooms were packed with energy and ideas.
We
developed a list of local businesses to support due to our common values and
interests.
We built
a website, and received donations to host the site for the next year!
Some
awesome stats: Our website has had 3,952 views in the last 30 days (as
of 2/8/17).
We made
a public Carroll CAN Facebook page so people can find us and
see our calls to action.
Some
more awesome stats: In just the first eight days of February, we have had
696 visits! Our Carroll CAN public Facebook page grew at 14.5% last week,
which is better than the Together We Will USA page and Pantsuit District page.
We engage more users than Indivisible, TWW-MD, and Pantsuit District!
We have
a Call to Action team that verifies and disseminates an action item that we can
do every day! They post these calls to action on the website, facebook page and twitter.
We
increased communication by having an email liaison send the content of the
facebook page to those who are not on facebook.
We
developed a logo that signifies our awareness that we are stronger as a united
team. We once felt alone because of our values, and now we have
both comfort and unified action because of our togetherness.
We had
members who went to BWI to show support to refugees and immigrants on the day
the bad went into effect. We have members who gather on Main Street in
Westminster on Saturdays with signs that have messages of inclusion, kindness,
and support.
We have
organized a Town Hall Meeting on 3/2/17 focused on the Affordable
Care Act! We have invited our representatives to attend, and we are
hopeful they will.
We
organized small groups that meet at local restaurants for support and
brainstorming.
We have
amazing passion and motivation! People who have never been engaged in anything
like this before have stepped up to lead a subcommittee! People who made
a suggestion wound up being willing to make that suggestion happen! All
it takes is that first thought of “Can I do ___?” and you will get a resounding
and supportive, “Yes you CAN!”
We have
managed to add activism and volunteering to our already full plates. We
have given our talents without expectation of recognition nor reimbursement.
We have learned new skills and been willing to go outside our comfort
zones.
We are
Carroll CAN—an action-focused, action-packed community network of kind,
compassionate, and dedicated Carroll County residents. Together, we have, we
will, and we CAN.

Numerous reports indicate that Joseph F. Steffen, died unexpectedly this morning.
Very sad to
learn that my colleague at the keyboard, political operative and author, Joseph F. Steffen, died unexpectedly this morning.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the
Steffen family at this very difficult time.
What a legend. Joe earned the nickname,
the Prince of Darkness, while doing oppositional political research during the
administration of Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich. Before and after his
tenure with Representative – and then, Gov. Ehrlich, he ran a number of political
campaigns. I enjoyed many conversations with Joe when I was a statehouse
reporter. We did not always agree, but he was always a perfect gentleman and I
always felt he was always straight with me. We will miss his take on everything
from writing, to pop culture, to music, and of course, politics. https://darknessrevisited.wordpress.com/
Rest in Peace.

April 1994 Capital Improvement Program City of Westminster Carroll County MD
April 1994 Capital Improvement Program City of Westminster
Carroll County MD
Introduction
In October 1991, the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
Westminster adopted an ordinance adding a new Chapter 20, entitled "Fiscal
Matters" to the Westminster City Code. The ordinance provides that the
fiscal year of the City shall commence July 1 of each year and end on June 30
in the following year. As part of the City's annual budget process, the Mayor
in coordination with the Directors of the City's various Departments shall
prepare a six-year program for capital improvements, which is to be approved by
the Common Council on or about the date of budget approval. Following adoption
of the Capital Improvements Program, no capital improvement project may be
added to the program, unless a public hearing is held and, thereafter, a
revised program is adopted by resolution of the Mayor and Common Council.
Statement of Objectives
The Capital Improvements Program is an important way of
putting the City's comprehensive plan into action. It is the City's objective
to coordinate the Capital Improvements Program with the City's comprehensive
plan and development regulations such as zoning and subdivision ordinances. The
type, scale, timing, and location of new development will affect the public
costs of providing facilities and services. The Capital Improvements Program
can save the City money by coordinating capital projects and through advance
acquisition of land for future facilities. Public facilities also play an
important role in determining when, where, and how much private sector
development will occur.
The Capital Improvements Program can be thought of as the
public sector's development plan, which will show
1) What capital projects and facilities will be built,
repaired, replaced, or purchased;
2) Where these projects are located; and 3) when the
projects are scheduled to take place.
Currently there is a growing awareness of the value of
budgeting for public facilities. This is especially true since the end of
federal revenue sharing in 1987 and the recent reductions in funding from the
State of Maryland. The decline in intergovernmental transfers has placed
greater fiscal pressure on the City of Westminster to fund capital improvements
with local revenue. To the greatest extent possible, the City has tried to
minimize debt financing in favor of pay-as-you-go funding of capital projects.
If Westminster must borrow funds for capital improvements, bond-rating agencies
have urged the City to adopt a Capital Improvements Program, which may lower
finance charges paid by the City.
Capital Improvements Program Schedule
By January 15th of each year, the Mayor shall furnish the
Planning and Zoning Commission a copy of the proposed six-year Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) and capital budget for its review and recommendation
to the Common Council. After affording the public, an opportunity to express
views on the proposed CIP, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall submit its
recommendations to the Common Council on or before March 1st of each year.
On or before May 1st of each year, the Mayor and Common
Council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed capital budget and six-year
CIP. The Common Council may increase or decrease any appropriation item in the
capital budget. The capital budget, as amended, shall be approved and funds
appropriated not later than May 30th of the year in which it is
submitted. Prior to June 1st of each year, the Common Council shall make tax
levies deemed necessary to finance the capital budget.
General Information
Historical Capital Outlays
Capital outlay appropriations for the last six years are
shown in Table 1. The historical data indicate a fairly consistent spending
pattern with the exception of the $4.1 million appropriation from the City's
sewer fund in FY90-91. A notable increase is also evident in the appropriations
for General Government, which increased from $9,000 in FY89-90 to $863,000 in
FY91-92, and then nearly doubled again in FY92-93 to $1,693,000. This increase
in FY92-93 is attributed towards municipal building renovations, particularly
the renovations for the building to be used by the Westminster Police
Department. Historical capital expenditures will be used as a guideline in
determining the reasonableness of projected capital funding levels.
