		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has decided to bring all animal control services under county government, buying the Cecil County SPCA shelter in Chesapeake City for about $400,000 and also apparently hiring an unspecified number of new county government employees— potentially with full county pay and benefits—and without yet telling the public or County Council the full costs of her actions. Moore’s administration notified competitive bidders Monday morning that she was killing their bids to provide animal control services, and several hours later issued a brief press release stating, without any budget or cost numbers, that she wanted government employees to operate animal services that in the past were handled by non-profit contractors. She plans to put two animal control officers under the authority of Richard Brooks, the county’s second-highest paid employee, as head of Emergency Services. An unspecified number of shelter employees would be put on the payroll of David Trolio, the head of transportation and senior services who has recently expanded his portfolio into a new Department of Community Services. Moore’s belated disclosures are due to be presented to the County Council Tuesday morning (3/15/16) at a worksession at which she is scheduled to appear. That presentation comes [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As long as the state General Assembly is in session, it seems that every week brings another litany of legislation that could cause headaches and costly mandates for Cecil County. County Commissioners heard about a legislative laundry list of troublesome proposals on Tuesday— and received an appeal from a controversial Frederick County official trying to enlist support for his lobbying efforts in Annapolis. Pat Conway, Cecil County’s director of permits and inspections, outlined several legislative proposals that could impose costly regulatory burdens on the county as well as re-open one of the most contentious issues— residential fire sprinklers—that the local government has dealt with in recent years. During the Cecil County Commissioners Tuesday worksession, Conway described state legislative proposals that could remove the county’s ability to “opt out” of an international building code mandating sprinklers. After months of heated debate—literally heated, including controlled fire demonstrations of sprinkler systems outside the county administration building—the county commissioners voted a year ago to rescind legislation adopted by a previous commissioners’ board mandating sprinklers in new single-family home construction. Another legislative proposal would require the county to inspect residential balconies on a regular basis to evaluate potential safety hazards. Conway said the county does [&#8230;]]]></description>
