		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy announced Tuesday (3/28/2017) that he is creating a new “Department of Land use and Development Services” to place under one roof permit applications and reviews for new business and development projects to streamline functions that are currently divided among three county agencies. The expedited process, including online applications for and tracking of permit review status, would also apply to residents seeking permits for renovations or improvements for their homes. Members of the County Council were briefed on the proposal during a closed-door session Tuesday morning and a formal announcement of the plan was issued a few hours later by McCarthy’s administration. In a statement, McCarthy said a new “Department of Land Use and Development Services” would consolidate certain “services provided by Planning and Zoning, Permits and Inspections and the plans review function of the Department of Public Works.” The change would keep current staff members involved in permit reviews in those agencies, but have them work together in a single entity to enhance collaboration and speed up the review process. “This reorganization will result in greater efficiency with the plans review and permitting processes by bringing all employees that administer this function together in one [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County public schools cracked the cost-cutting whip and saved $1.6 million on several school construction and renovation projects already approved and financed by county bonds. So now the schools want to apply a portion of those cost savings to two projects put on hold by the County Commissioners in the recently approved county budget. Appearing before the Commissioners at a Tuesday worksession, Dr. D’Ette Devine, the schools superintendent, and Tom Kappra, the chief financial officer for the schools, explained that close supervision of construction and renovation projects at the Calvert, Leeds and Thomson Estates schools saved nearly $1.65 million from the projected costs of the construction and renovation projects. “It’s very rare that we have construction that comes in under budget,” commented Commissioner Tari Moore (R-2). “I think it’s only fair that those savings be rolled over” to other county schools projects, she added. The schools would like to apply $900,000 of the savings to begin planning for reconstruction of the aging Perryville elementary school, a long delayed project that the Commissioners pulled out of the capital improvement budget for Fiscal 2013 they recently adopted. The proposed allocation is half what the schools had asked for in Fiscal 2013 [&#8230;]]]></description>
