recommend transfer of their ownership of the building to the City's Economic Development
Authority for disposal of the property.
It was noted that the County had obtained an appraisal of the building and would provide
a copy to the City for their information.

communicate to determine best and most efficient method for disposing of the facility.
Other Business

county is not currently working on or considering any type of proposal.
The committee discussed the possibility of consolidating water, sewer, and solid waste
under the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority. It was noted that the city council will discuss
this matter at an upcoming work session to begin vetting questions and concerns.
Frederick County would like to be involved in these discussions while they are still in the
early stages. It was suggested that the city council come up with their "concise vision" and share
it with the board. This would allow them to have discussions in order to reach a consensus.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:24 a.m.
