C. Update From the Mayor
December sure has been a busy month, and it’s only the 12th
But let me bring you up to date on some exciting developments.
• 1st – thank you to all who attended the City Hall Open House.
• We collected a large amount of canned food which we donated to a local food
bank
Also …The Eastport Yacht Club Parade of Lights was a huge success and I enjoyed
being a part of the event
In case you didn’t hear … the City of Annapolis was given very good ratings from the
3 major rating agencies, Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s:
City of Annapolis Page 2 Printed on 1/11/2017
City Council Regular Minutes - Final December 12, 2016
• Moody's gave us its second upgrade in the past two years – while we remained a
Double A 2 rating, our outlook was upgraded from Stable to POSITIVE.
• Meanwhile…While Fitch and Standard & Poor’s affirmed our AA+ rating and
stable outlook
• Fitch cited the city’s ability to maintain strong financial resilience throughout
economic cycles given its superior inherent budget flexibility in the form of revenue
and spending control.
• Fitch also pointed to the city’s demonstrated commitment to restoring reserves
to within its policy level of 10% of governmental spending during periods of recovery.
• Meanwhile, Standard & Poor’s views the city's management as very strong, with
financial policies and practices in place, indicating financial practices well
embedded, and likely sustainable.
• Standard and Poor’s also cites the fact that Annapolis has adopted a number of
formal financial policies and practices, helping to solidify its sound financial position
and conservative management practices.
• And finally, Moody’s said that they acknowledged the city’s recently improved
financial position, supported by proactive management and conservative budgeting,
despite a planned reduction in reserves.
• The rating also reflects the city’s sizable and diverse tax base with institutional
presence, above average demographic profile, and manageable debt burden.
IN OTHER CITY NEWS….
• The City of Annapolis has been awarded $200,000 in Community Legacy funds
from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development to help
defray construction costs for the new Light House Bistro, located at 202 West Street.
• I had the opportunity to be part of the ground breaking celebration for the new
Culinary Bistro and I know this money will go to help support this self-sustaining,
revenue generating project.
• This is such an incredible project and I am enthusiastically waiting for the
Bistro’s mid-January opening.
• The Light House, a homeless prevention and support center, is repurposing its
former downtown Annapolis shelter to create an advanced culinary training center for
graduates of its culinary arts job training program, Building Employment Success
Training (B.E.S.T.).
• It will include a 50-seat bistro with a full service menu, a coffee bar staffed by
Baristas and a Gourmet Grab ‘n Go and will serve as home for The Light House
B.E.S.T. Catering company. Four permanent supportive housing units will be located
on the second floor for former Light House residents.
Hope to see you all at this Thursday’s Midnight Madness!
• Last Thursday was a great success and I hope to see you on the 15th!
If you didn’t get time to view the new December Art Exhibit
• It is at City Hall until January 27th and will showcase the Annapolis Conservancy
Preserved Properties, painted by the Washington Society of Landscape Painters.
City of Annapolis Page 3 Printed on 1/11/2017

• The artwork is in City Hall through January 27, 2017 and available to view
Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.
• The exhibit is sponsored by the City of Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay
String of Pearls Project, a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to honor
organizations that preserve land in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Finally, Military Bowl is Tuesday, December 27 at Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
where the Temple Owls take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at 3:30 on ESPN
• Parade ahead of time with Clydesdales
I KNOW THAT THE HARBOR LINES is up for a vote tonight, but I want to talk
about what I plan to do in the future because the legislation drew attention to the
NEED for a comprehensive review of the Harbor lines.
• I have directed P&Z and the Harbormaster to work together to create a plan to
review all the harbor lines and legally reorganize a chart. Also using a GIS system
NAD 83 to do a comprehensive overview of the lines
• Also, doing a safety video for water safety with the Harbormaster
Presented.
