Board approves new Grimes aide in Frederick
The Frederick City Board of Aldermen unanimously approved John Kendall as administrative assistant to Mayor Jim Grimes. Kendall, 55, replaces Carolyn True who resigned to relocate to Virginia. Kendall said his mission is service and total responsiveness to the mayor and board, with no intent to seek office. He noted his Army career and prior municipal posts in Brunswick and Taneytown, and his plan to stay with Frederick City as well as support a city county partnership. The board also approved amendments to the Industrial Pretreatment Ordinance, a one way tweak for Hoffmans Alley, a policy for antennas on towers, a $750 monthly Horizon Cellular lease for nine antennas on the water tower, and a $9,000 inter-department budget transfer for overtime and maintenance.
