Gordon keeps push to appoint city manager despite hurdles
Mayor Paul Gordon says the city manager plan remains on his agenda though conditions never aligned since his 1990 election. He cites tighter controls after Bal Menon’s bribery conviction and shifts of routine duties to department heads as reasons the position never formed. He warns a non elected mayor risk if the manager gains too much independence.

Deaf majority named to Maryland School for the Deaf board
A Maryland Senate committee approved 19 appointments to the Maryland School for the Deaf Board of Trustees, 10 of whom are deaf, creating a deaf majority for the first time in the 125 year history. The nineties reform requires at least six deaf members and accompanies a reduced board size. The panel’s approval paves the way for a Friday Senate vote.

HRC to Audit City Police Hiring Plan Agreement
The Frederick County Human Relations Commission voted 8 to 2 to sign a pact requiring audits of the Frederick City Police affirmative action recruitment plan. The plan, part of a settlement with attorney Wille Mahone after alleged racially motivated traffic stops, aims to hire black officers until 13 percent of the force matches the city’s black population. The 91 member department now has three African American officers.

County considers forming a county police force
Commissioners divided on creating a county police department but support exists to study it. Sue Ann Yingling leads push noting sheriff handles jail, constables and summons while deputies could form a separate force without new legislation. Conversion could be easy with current assets shifting under county control. Sundergill supports exploring the idea but favors postponing action until after two years. Bruce Reeder shares fiscal concerns, stressing professional leadership for stability.
