Walkersville settles for 540000 in sewage suit
Walkersville and nine defendants reached an out of court settlement of more than 540000 after an underground blast in the Sun Meadows development on Jade Road caused 900000 gallons of untreated sewage to spill into the town’s water and sewer system. The June 2000 case sought damages for months of inconvenience, water monitoring, and repairs, with confidential payments by Explosive Experts and others.

Thompson proposes Summers annexation referendum plan
Frederick County Commissioner John L Thompson Jr proposes using a rare state law to force a public vote on the Summers 145 acre annexation into Frederick City. He seeks a referendum limited to area residents or property owners with two thirds support from the five county commissioners. Aldermen Blaine Young and Donna Kuzemchak criticize the idea, calling it ill conceived and arguing the city favors developers.

Officials propose a two tier county fire tax plan
Fredericks County commissioners consider a two tier fire tax dividing urban and suburban areas with separate rates. Urban areas would pay 24 cents per thousand assessed value for fire and rescue stations while suburban areas pay 20 cents. The plan would use nine cents from the current tax for fire prevention and station utilities, with nine cents subtracted from residents’ existing tax rate. A law change may be needed, and decisions are expected in coming months. Fire association officials urge action to avoid funding gaps and compete for general fund money. Commissioner John L Thompson expresses concern about the timing and impact on residents paying the tax for the first time.
