County votes on participation in city parking deck hearing
County Commissioners plan a Monday public hearing to decide if the county will remain a participant in Frederick's $1.2 million parking deck. The move follows a higher than expected bid and a September 1974 agreement that caps county participation at 1 million dollars and 100 of 400 spaces. County officials note the cost impact could exceed $80,000 if participation continues.

The ruling reverses a January decision by Judge Solomon Liss and takes effect after an expanded ruling is filed within about a month, with potential further delay if needed.
