Planning Department staff, represented by Miss Hightower, told the council the department requested the extension to: coordinate with the future District 5 council member, evaluate recently passed state and local legislation for impacts on the plan, and allow additional time to align the draft with the county master plan of transportation. Staff said it expects the Planning Board to grant permission to print no later than Oct. 31, 2025.

Councilmember Fisher moved to authorize the chair's signature on the letter approving the extension; Councilmember Harrison seconded. The clerk called the roll for the authorization and the motion carried 9-0.

Councilmembers discussed that the Planning Department would like the county council, sitting as the district council, to approve the extension. No changes to the extension length were made on the floor; the council approved the department's requested timeframe and directed the chair to sign the transmittal letter.

The approval allows planning staff additional time to incorporate input from the incoming District 5 member and to account for new legislation and transportation plan alignment before the Planning Board's printing and public review schedule.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Prince George - County Council - Feb 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Prince George's County Council on Feb. 11 authorized a seven-month extension for the Planning Department to prepare a draft Port Town sector plan and sectional map amendment.","taxTitle","Prince George's County, Maryland","taxId",3378,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667475,"Council committee reports support for several state bills, authorizes chair's signature",108,655000,763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2259810-a5eba82b21fecc78030b065b4f946605&start=655&end=763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2259810-a5eba82b21fecc78030b065b4f946605/thumbnail_655000.jpg","/articles/6667475/Prince-Georges-County/Maryland/Council-committee-reports-support-for-several-state-bills-authorizes-chairs-signature","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667475-267ccabf49e0c04acb1bb38395a22d2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193452&Signature=WHj-w31YUS8buSkod~GigZivSRYoKqJ3k3sGizB0JIH-AkV~BeSBat9ynaRYbzA~ajNaKPgzpSZwiz6rlzSe3YoYPFzEGAiOkIx~exSSMyrqaUsHfc4voyJpVFzdX79pMiLxLy3KyRlKliRvKGwbfvq82FpfO9H7Q-8c4HukJ1zKIHQ2I5rhe0Fd8GgzkL35yZ9txCmVeD9jNJA~9JdYyHDMe545-2gBvviIU3GY4wRormY3HaB-7JRdlwEb15JShf8AA9yYS1jgmSz92Yhvcxicok5A0Y9hxTzzePSBw1-A-59OKHywys3KlNt8Lk9lboqEdRkO6FqhtOlzCis7AQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prince George's County General Assembly Committee reported to the council on Feb. 11 that it voted to support several pieces of state legislation, and the council authorized the chair to transmit the county's positions to the Prince George's County delegation.

Jabari Cooper presented the committee report, saying the committee supported: House Bill 183 (income tax resident support); House Bill 709 and Senate Bill 651 (landlord-tenant, residential leases and local good-cause termination/good-cause eviction); House Bill 710 (election law provisions affecting incarcerated individuals and a voter hotline and voting eligibility); and Senate Bill 613 (a pilot program for distracted-driving monitoring systems in Montgomery and Prince George's counties).

Councilmember Fisher moved to authorize the chair to sign the correspondence transmitting the council's positions; Councilmember Hawkins seconded. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried on a recorded vote. The roll call recorded unanimous support among those voting; the clerk's tally on the record was all ayes and the motion carried.

The committee report was brief and limited to the items listed; no sponsors or detailed legislative analysis was provided on the floor. The council did not debate the policy merits of the bills at length during the meeting; the action on Feb. 11 was procedural authorization to transmit the positions reported by the General Assembly Committee.","The Prince George's County General Assembly Committee reported support for several state bills on Feb. 11, and the council authorized the chair to transmit the county's positions to the delegation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667485,"Council approves 2025 appointment calendar after debate over pending packages",439,855000,1294000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2259810-a5eba82b21fecc78030b065b4f946605&start=855&end=1294","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2259810-a5eba82b21fecc78030b065b4f946605/thumbnail_855000.jpg","/articles/6667485/Prince-Georges-County/Maryland/Council-approves-2025-appointment-calendar-after-debate-over-pending-packages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667485-f6ce77a1d61b16283f073605f305e11d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193452&Signature=bG56L-YzGt3meguRfe0eaBLR9NZTLov9GL0ySaPwUVqLl7DMol5lcAr4Fwp0dSiofzG7jZg8mrdDvm5Hxw~tJ-JxiwEjlIgh4tEPOJ437R3rdXXVDZhfoEvkyaDmeqXgAqdyaBUO9y0todRUVWqXVhqhcjUfjjSPey6w67dvZ5pA7okRzxCBqnvbT96SDxXs2U-yazITZk7LoI2tbLUpIbGeVtiqt~Ptt68kbQPQFQZV2~xDMjkw78iVvIGY0jX8EYvBo3VwOnQ9B0zZ~LHaDv-dmG2-AX8jt0Xs5Cnqh1jtNdZqlMyU~G58LMCii-BrE3oJP67dGfuQ80oylg--OA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prince George's County Council voted 9-0 on Feb. 11 to adopt a proposed 2025 appointment calendar and legislative schedule, after debate about whether to pause appointments during the county executive transition.

Councilmember Fisher moved to adopt the calendar; Councilmember Harrison seconded. Some members asked whether the council should delay appointments that arrive while the county executive's transition is underway. Councilmember Harrison and others asked staff when the incoming county executive would take office; one councilmember said \"June\" in response to that question during the discussion on the floor. Members also discussed the charter's timing requirements that can compel the council to act on appointments once they are transmitted.

Councilmember Blaguey proposed a substitute motion to hold appointments; that motion was withdrawn after council members clarified the calendar before the council vote. Clerk and staff reported there were five transmittal packages currently in process: Cannabis Reinvestment and Restoration Board, Commission for Women, Board of Ethics, Human Rights Commission, and Police Accountability Board. Councilmember Blaguey withdrew the substitute motion and the council proceeded to adopt the proposed calendar.

The chair called the roll for final passage; the motion carried 9-0. Several members emphasized they would take up process questions about handling additional packages offline and noted charter time frames could require action on any appointment once transmitted by the executive.

The calendar adopted on Feb. 11 lays out advertising and hearing dates for appointments and other legislative items for the coming months. Council members asked staff to provide clarity on packages in process and how the council will handle incoming transmittals during the transition period.","Prince George's County Council on Feb. 11 approved a proposed appointment calendar and legislative schedule for 2025, 9-0, after members discussed whether to hold pending appointment packages during the incoming county executive transition.

The motion to adopt passed on a 6-0 roll call.

The council considered a Committee of the Whole report from Nathaniel Tutt, who said the council held a Committee of the Whole on the revised elderly property tax credit and that members discussed amending the ordinance enacted in 2024. After discussion, the council voted to amend the ordinance's effective date.

Councilmember Watson moved to substitute draft 2 with draft 1; Councilmember Fisher seconded the substitution. The council then moved to adopt the resolution. The clerk called the roll; Vice Chair Burrows, Mister DeNoga, Councilmember Fisher, Councilmember Hawkins, Mister Olson and Councilmember Watson recorded aye votes. The motion carried 6-0.

The resolution delays the effective date of CB 007-2024 to provide \"necessary time to revise CB 007-2024 and enact legislation that clarifies the senior citizen's eligibility for a senior tax credit,\" language the council discussed during the Committee of the Whole. The council did not adopt additional changes to the ordinance text at final reading; the action recorded was a delay of the effective date to allow further legislative work.

Council staff did not provide a new effective date on the floor during final reading; that detail was not specified in the hearing record. The council noted the delay was intended to give staff and members time to clarify eligibility criteria for the senior tax credit.

The council concluded the meeting with scheduling reminders; no executive session was held that day.","Prince George's County Council on Feb. 11 approved Resolution CR 008-2025 to delay the effective date of CB 007-2024, the revision to the elderly property tax credit, after a Committee of the Whole report and a substitution of drafts.
