County votes to boost fines for violators
Frederick County commissioners in a Monday session weighed stricter limits on wall seeds, abandoned cars, and discarded appliances but chose to maintain current rules while boosting enforcement. Zoning administrator Michael Thompson urged more officers if new regs were adopted, and officials debated which department would enforce them. Commissioner Charles Smith criticized adding rules already unenforced, and the panel voted 3 to 2 against holding a public hearing on the proposed ordinance.
