Mayor’s Update January 27

On Tuesday, my administration presented a proposed five-year capital plan to City Council. The plan dedicates more than $112 million to fixing flooded streets, shallow lagoons and every other part of Ocean City from the beach to the bay. It’s an aggressive plan, and it’s a direct response to the countless property owners who every day ask the city to get things done. People are tired of waiting, and I want to continue to take responsibility for making this important work happen. These projects will protect the quality of life here and the valuable investments people have made in their Ocean City homes...

Mayor’s Update – No Dredge Materials for Shelter Road

I met this morning with representatives of the Ocean Reef Condominium Association and let them know that Ocean City will not pursue a proposed program for transferring dredged material at the Shelter Road Recycling Center. Throughout my administration, I have always sought public feedback in the very early stages of any major project or new initiative. This information is extremely valuable to the success of any endeavor. In this case, there was an overwhelming amount of support both for and against the idea of using Shelter Road to help add capacity to our 2017 dredging program. While all of this input was considered, the primary factor in the decision was practical. It is just not feasible or financially viable to relocate all of the Public Works operations at Shelter Road to other parts of Ocean City...
