HB 217: Open Meetings Act Requirements for Agendas (effective date: October 1, 2016) This bill requires a public body to make an agenda available to the public at least 24 hours prior to meeting in an open session. The agenda must contain known items of business or topics to be discussed at the meeting and must indicate whether the public body expects to close any portion of the meeting. An agenda may be altered after it has been made available to the public. Please note that a public body is any entity that consists of at least two individuals and that was created in any of three ways: by law, an executive order, or by rule, resolution or bylaw of a governmental entities. For many municipalities, this new law requires the posting of agendas for City committees and advisory boards. HB 0852: Municipal Elections Tie Votes (effective date: October 1, 2016) This bill requires municipalities to fill a vacancy that resulted from a tie vote in an election for a municipal office within 90 days after the date of the election.

The Messenger June 2016 O ur five-square-mile tiny island is home to a year-round population of 7,092 residents but, on average, we entertain a summer population of nearly 250,000 each week! Quite a transition for a fulltime staff of 534; however, with the help of over 900 part-time employees added to the roster each summer, we work hard to maintain a world class public beach, boardwalk and vacation destination. Incorporated by the State of Maryland in 1898, Ocean City began as a fishing village with a majority of lodging amenities designed and maintained by women. Known as Ocean City s Petticoat Regime, 1890-1926, several local women ventured into a new business, boarding house rentals, eventually leading to women purchasing lots and constructing several establishments as men took to the seas for prosperous fishing industry opportunities. According to the 1926 Ocean City Guide, 30 out of 32 hotels and boarding houses listed were owned and managed by women! Today, with over 9,500 hotel MMCA Quarterly Meeting, June 28, 2016 by Diana Chavis, City Clerk rooms in town, the fishing village of yesteryears has evolved into one of the state s largest tourism-based economic supporters and the White Marlin Capital of the World. Since 1949, Ocean City has hosted the Maryland Municipal League Convention, first gathering at the George Washington Hotel on 10 th Street and the Boardwalk where you could get one of the best rooms in town for a whopping $9 a day. We are proud to continue the tradition this year by hosting the 67 th Maryland Municipal League Convention at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. Create enjoyable memories at the beach during your visit by relaxing on ten miles of beautiful beach or visiting our classic wooden boardwalk offering nearly three miles of food, games and shopping. Start planning an Ocean City, Maryland, vacation today by visiting www.ococean.com and remember when summer is done the fun has just begun! There is plenty to do in Ocean City outside the summer season. MMCA Luncheon Details for June 2016 Quarterly Meeting Our June 28 meeting will begin with lunch served at 12 noon at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD. The lunch menu will include sandwiches, salad, chips, cookies and fruit.
