County approves model aircraft rules at Catoctin Creek Park
A county resolution to permit any resident to fly model aircraft at Catoctin Creek Park moves to the Frederick County Commissioners for final approval. Five residents crafted the plan with Parks Bureau Chief Gil Kingsbury at a public meeting, challenging a decade old policy favoring FMAC members. If approved, permits would be open to nonmembers under county rules, with denial limited to previous complaints or minor status without an accompanying adult. The plan adds about $6,000 annual county costs for mowing and facilities previously handled by FMAC.
