Update from the Mayor Mayor Gavin Buckley City Council Remarks 7 p.m. September 11, 2023 City Council Chambers Good evening. I trust that everyone had an enjoyable August break. Welcome back. I want to start out tonight with condolences to the family and friends of Tre’on Hunt who was senselessly killed in the Bywater neighborhood on Friday. He was 18 and a recent graduate of Annapolis High. I’m sure many of you saw pictures of him on social media over the weekend - all dressed up for the prom earlier this year. Seeing those images drives home the tragedy and trauma that gun violence continues to cause in our community. Within a year, Tre’on’s family celebrated his prom and high school graduation. Then, in an instant, it was all taken away. To Tre’on’s parents and family, to his friends and classmates, I want to say on behalf of every person who works for the City, including this Council, we are so sorry for your loss. Many of us who work here in the City knew Tre’on. We are all heartbroken. This tragedy follows hard on the heels of another. At the end of July two other teens were also shot in Bywater. One survived and the other, Robert Clark, lost his life. It has to stop. Parents and friends, we need your help. And if you need help, please reach out. The Anne Arundel County Community Warmline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 410-768-5522. If you keep guns in your home, the Health Department recently introduced a free gun lock program. You can pick those up at any County library, no questions asked. We have instituted violence intervention programs in the City and County. In Annapolis, we put more officers on the street this summer and stepped up policing efforts. We hired social workers and we are engaging with schools and partner mobile crisis intervention. It’s true that Annapolis Police are good at solving these cases. Under Chief Jackson, they have almost a 100 percent success rate in solving crimes and taking offenders off the street. This shooter will also be caught and will likely serve time in prison - another life destroyed. The trauma that gun violence is inflicting on our communities is an epidemic City of Annapolis Page 2 Printed on 10/11/2023 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final September 11, 2023 across America. Annapolis is not immune. If you have the time, reach out to federal elected officials and let them know your desire to see strengthened gun trafficking and straw purchasing laws. We need to get guns out of the wrong hands. Gun violence is tearing communities apart. Imagine being 8 years old and stepping off the bus in your neighborhood to police cars and medical examiner vans. This is trauma on top of trauma on top of trauma. We have to find a way to make it stop. I would like to take a moment of silence for the victims, for Tre’on and Robert, may their memories be a blessing to all who knew and loved them. [SILENCE] Next, I want to speak directly to City staff. This includes first responders, Annapolis Police officers, detectives, crime lab technicians, firefighters and paramedics who attend to these incidents, as well as our social work team and members of my staff who work to support families and communities in the aftermath of tragedy, along with other City employees who knew these young people, either because of work or through family connections. Annapolis is a small town at heart. We see you. I see you. I witness, first-hand, how difficult your work is. Thank you for your compassion and your commitment in the most difficult of circumstances. As a reminder, the City has an employee assistance program. Our Human Resources Office can assist to arrange counseling, grief services and similar benefits - both in the immediate aftermath, or at a later date. Annapolis Fire and Police have crisis intervention and APD has trauma response training and benefits. Please reach out to HR or your supervisor. == Thank you. Also on this day, 9/11, it has been 22 years since the terrorist attacks on America that killed 2,977 people and injured thousands at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and in Somerset County in Pennsylvania. That was another day that first responders became heroes and ordinary people were forced to deal with extraordinary trauma and grief. We will never forget. == Tonight, I would also like to thank staff and residents who recently worked to resolve another incident - a significant sewer overflow that occurred in the last week of August resulting in a spill of untreated sewage into the headwaters of Spa Creek. I want to thank neighbors in the Heritage community and volunteer water quality monitors at Spa Creek Conservancy for alerting us to the smell and unusually high bacteria numbers, helping us to pinpoint the area where the spill had occurred. Our teams were quickly on site to make repairs and to notify the appropriate county and state agencies. When our crews arrived, initial evaluation indicated a clogged line with overflow When this happens, our crews regularly pull all kinds of things out of sewer pipes, from paper towels and grease clogs. In this case it was a mop-head. DPW would like me to remind the public that there is a role for residential City of Annapolis Page 3 Printed on 10/11/2023 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final September 11, 2023 and commercial customers to play in preventing sewer overflows: don’t put stuff down the drain that doesn’t belong. It is the role you can play in helping the environment. == Over the past months, Planning & Zoning staff have been out on a roadshow at venues around the City presenting the 2040 Annapolis Ahead Comprehensive Plan, which has been in development since 2020. I want to thank our Chief of Comprehensive Planning - Eric Leshinsky - for his tireless work in listening, writing, and revising and for the thoughtful and thorough way he has conducted the consultation process. I want to make three things clear because there has been some confusion 1. The Maryland Department of Planning requires, by law, the City of Annapolis to update the comprehensive plan every ten years; this is not optional; 2. Comprehensive plans are not just about the types and location of housing; these documents guide resource allocation including hospitals, schools, roads, public safety, and even things like grocery stores and priority needs for each community. They are all about making efficient use of resources in guiding where and how future development, revitalization and preservation will occur. 3. This plan guides future development. If you own property, live or rent in the City, the plan doesn’t require you to do or change anything. If there is vacant land or land under consideration for redevelopment, the plan guides how that property should be used in the future. There is still time to learn more and share your thoughts. There is a meeting tomorrow at Pip Moyer Recreation Center from 6-8pm and you can provide feedback by email and review comments online. Search ‘Annapolis Ahead 2040’ at www.annapolis.gov. The next step in the process is for the Planning Commission to finalize their report and send it to this council for adoption. That will kick off a new phase of comment. I look forward to hearing from you as we move toward final consideration. == Coming up later this week, September 15-17 is Rosh Hashanah and the following week, September 24-25 is Yom Kippur. For all of our Jewish friends and neighbors, may you have a good and sweet new year. Please note that, due to the high holidays, our next council meeting has been pushed from our regular time slot on Monday the 25th to Tuesday the 26th. == To finish up, I want to let you know about a couple of fun events coming up: This weekend, the Singer Songwriter Festival is taking place with dozens of artists playing at venues around the City and two shows at City Dock including Blondie with Thomas Dolby and LeAnn Rymes. City of Annapolis Page 4 Printed on 10/11/2023 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final September 11, 2023 ● Next Wednesday, tune in to City TV for the upcoming City Dock Action Committee presentation at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 20. That will be archived on the City’s YouTube for anytime viewing. ● On September 23, it’s the 33rd Annual Kunta Kinte Heritage Festival at City Dock with food, live music, children’s tent, genealogy and more. They’ve also got the community tent with wills and estate planning, fall gardening tips, family yoga, healthy cooking and African dance. We hope to see you there! Now let’s get on with the meeting.
