Property groups seek bids for Monocacy Blvd extension
City of Frederick will not bid the $8 million Monocacy Boulevard extension.

Bond funding will be used with local property owners covering principal and interest. Local banks may bid to buy bonds, with the lowest rate winning.

County funding vote trims school board appeal to 61 million
Commissioner Jan Gardner failed to secure enough votes to fund the entire school board request and kept funding below normal levels. Ilona Hogan and John L. Thompson Jr opposed increasing the appeal to 61 million while the panel approved a 2 percent cost of living raise plus a $500 bonus for lower paid workers, reversing last week’s flat increase. The package costs about 1.5 million to taxpayers.
