Frederick county highway administrator Ron Linton says ground is too wet to repair potholes. Crews avoid gravel replacement on damaged roads to prevent plow damage and possible further wear. Monocacy Bottom Road repairs are planned, with design underway and funds approved by county commissioners, contingent on right of way and weather.

Building inspector may seek more staff in city department
Mayor Ronald Young and Alderman James Murphy oppose direct funding to expand the building inspection staff. Schlueter faces hurdles in hiring, with concerns over justifying new positions after one hire last fall. The department may rely on fee adjustments, but any increases would likely be passed to builders and consumers. Diane Murphy of the Frederick County Builders Association plans to meet after budget proposals and at upcoming hearings to discuss staffing and funding.
