Mayor Sees Solution To Parking Problem
Frederick MD Mayor Paul Magaha says downtown county office complex could be paired with adequate parking funded by the city. He declines to specify tiered vs expanded lots. County Commissioner Lawrence A Dorsey Sr says he would vote to take the ground option if the city builds tiered parking. Local officials at a Council of Governments session raised traffic concerns about downtown placement. Budget notes $336339 in potential revenue sharing cannot be included until federal legislation is enacted.

FCTA and School Board Open Salary Renegotiations
Frederick County teachers and the Frederick County Board of Education begin fresh wage talks today at an undisclosed location. The board’s team includes John A. Tritt, Gilbert A. Newby, and Dr. Donald Z. Koons, with the FCTA unnamed. They seek restoration of base pay to 7500 dollars, arguing current 7400 base reflects a 1.6 percent rise inadequately offsetting living costs from the prior 7275 base.
