		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It was a bit like the first day of school when the new Cecil County Council met this week for its first worksession with two new members and, at least for a few minutes, no teacher in charge of the classroom. There was also a nearby hall monitor, trying to lay down some different groundrules for the new school term. But the students quickly put themselves in charge. Meeting on 12/4/2018 for the first time after the November general election, the Cecil County Council unanimously selected Bob Meffley (R-1) as President of the five-member le gislative body and fended off a bid by the county executive to rein in council members’ roles on outside organizations’ boards. It probably won’t be the last time there’s some friction between the new Council and the executive’s office. Meffley, a two-year veteran of the Council, had declared his intention to seek the panel’s presidency, to replace the retiring Joyce Bowlsbey, early last month. A new member, Bill Coutz (R-2), who won election to Bowlsbey’s seat on the Council, was also interested in the post and cited his leadership experience in business and various non-profit boards. From the outset, Meffley had the strong [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy’s first budget, which boosts spending for economic development and job-creation efforts, drew scrutiny from the County Council this week as McCarthy and state officials saddled up to try to bring elite four-legged tourists and the humans who love them to the county for a potential multi-million dollar jackpot. Chris Moyer, the county’s new Director of Economic Development, told the County Council on Tuesday (4/18/2017) that the executive’s proposed budget provides a 5.7 percent increase in Fiscal 2018 over the current budget year for economic development efforts, including tourism promotion and agriculture as well as business and job development. He said his agency “fully appreciates that the county has limited resources,” but urged the council to support the budget request as one that will pay off for the county in the long run. Several of the increases would benefit the tourism promotion office, with hiring of a part-time office services assistant and a higher advertising and promotion budget. The tourism office received kudos last year for hosting the return of the Bassmaster international fishing competition to Cecil County, an event that was estimated to contribute as much as $2 million to the local economy.

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council adopted the new Fiscal 2016 budget just a few weeks ago but now that the new budget year began July 1, the panel is considering several budget amendments to boost or shift around spending and the county executive is asking for an expedited approval process that would shorten the time citizens have to review or comment on such budget changes. In addition, the county administration is proposing an accounting change that would shift grant funds into a separate account—rather than being included in the budgets of individual departments that receive the grants—and accumulate an estimated $7 million in grants in the new account. That step, while providing a one-stop insight into the full range of state and federal grants received by the county, could also create the impression of $7 million in lower expenditures in departmental budgets next year, when a new budget will be crafted in the midst of an election year. The County Executive’s slot and two seats on the Council are at stake in the 2016 elections. At the 7/7/15 County Council worksession, members discussed several budget amendments, including some that had been aired at length during the recent budget process, when councilors [&#8230;]]]></description>
