DISCUSSION ITEM - CREATION OF STREETLIGHT SERVICE DISTRICT - OAKDALE CROSSING SECTION I - PUBLIC HEARING SET Administrator Riley advised that this item was brought to the Board in September as a discussion item. During that discussion, legal counsel advised that the existing streetlight ordinance in the County Code could not be used in this instance as the enabling legislation was specific to two subdivisions within the County. The Board directed statTto do further research and report back. Administrator Riley stated that it was staffs opinion that the best way to attempt to address this issue was for the Board to hold a public hearing to create a service district to encompass the subdivision in question. Mr. Riley further advised that it might be a good idea for the Board to include all three sections of Oakdale because if it was the desire of the other two sections to be included then the structure would be in place to accommodate them. Supervisor Forrester advised that she had received several e-mails from residents of Section II asking that they be included in any proposed service district. She suggested putting all three sections into the service district. Administrator Riley stated that staff would construct the ordinance to include all three sections, but ifit was the desire of the Board to include less than three sections then they could do so. Vice-Chairman Van Osten asked why the Board did not do a generic streetlight service district, which would help alleviate these types of problems in the future. Administrator Riley advised there was a need to define the metes and bounds of the district and he recommended that the County start smaller and then get larger, if necessary. Upon a motion by Supervisor Ewing, seconded by Supervisor Fisher, the Board set a public hearing for December 8, 2004 regarding the creation of a streetlight service district for Oakdale Crossing Sections I, II, and III. The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote: Minute Book Number 30 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 11/10/04 190 Richard C. Shickle Aye Barbara E. Van Osten Aye Gary W.

PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE. BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW CHAPTER ENTITLED BIO- SOLIDS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSED ADDITION IS TO MONITOR THE LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS - APPROVED Administrator Riley advised that the Code and Ordinance Committee, at its October 5, 2004 meeting reviewed the proposed addition of a Biosolids Ordinance to the Frederick County Code. The purpose and intent of this ordinance was to enable the County to monitor the land application of biosolids and assess a fee to cover staff time for administering this program. The proposed ordinance would give the County a local presence with regard to not only monitoring the land application ofbiosolids, but assisting with citizen concerns and complaints as well. The Committee unanimously recommended approval of this proposed ordinance and forwarded this item to the Board of Supervisors for public hearing. Administrator Riley reiterated that this ordinance would not permit the County to regulate the application ofbiosolids, as this was done by the State. Under this proposal the County could only monitor the application of biosolids and cover the costs associated with this monitoring. Minute Book Number 30 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 11/10/04 197 Chairman Shickle called the public hearing to order. William Bowman advised that he was for this proposed ordinance. He recommended that a parenthetical (i.e. Class A biosolids) be added to the last sentence in the purpose and intent section of the proposed ordinance. He felt this type of regulation was not needed when one went to Lowe's or another store and purchased pelletized bio-solids. Paul Anderson, Frederick County Farm Bureau, advised that he had helped the Committee draft this ordinance and felt it was an excellent document and not cumbersome. He went on to say that it did not duplicate the state's regulations and encouraged the Board to adopt it. Greg Hewitt, Stonewall District, stated that he sat on the Committee and was for the ordinance, but felt it should be amended to except Class A biosolids. There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing. Chairman Shickle asked if Class A bio-solids could be excluded. Deputy Director of Public Works Joe Wilder advised that exceptional quality refers to bio- solids that are purchased in stores; therefore, store bought biosolids were excepted. He went on to say that Class A was too broad of a classification to except all Class A's. Administrator Riley recommended that the Board adopt this ordinance as written and if concerns were expressed then it could be amended in the future. Deputy Director Wilder stated that he believed the definition was clear regarding the exclusion of certain biosolids. Upon a motion by Supervisor Dove, seconded by Supervisor Ewing, the Board adopted the Biosolids Ordinance and directed staff to do further research regarding store bought biosolids. BE IT ORDAINED, that the Frederick County Code, be amended by the Addition of a New Chapter Entitled Biosolids, to read as follows: BIOSOLIDS ORDINANCE Purpose and Intent This ordinance is intended to ensure that the laws and regulations governing the land application of Biosolids are properly implemented and enforced, and to secure and promote the health, safety, and welfare ofthe county's citizens; to deter the creation ofa public nuisance and to prevent pollution of the waters and soils ofthe county related to the land application ofBiosolids.
