#TakomaPark: turns out that city/county animosity is not confined to fire houses. At the @takomaparkmd.gov auditorium tonight: national, state, and city flags but no county flag.

Twice-yearly #TakomaPark check mixed news.

Good: clock in auditorium at 7500 Maple Avenue no longer showing the worng time. Thanks @takomaparkmd.gov.

Bad: no longer showing any time.

#TakomaPark council #GavelDown (actually tonight).

Next live posts: 10/14/2026, starting about 6:15, for sadly limited coverage of the Super Secret Session (barring an intervening Secret Session or Super Secret Session). Don't miss it if you can.

#TakomaPark council: DCM Eubanks notes that considerable person power is needed for leaf collection. Public works head: yes; ten seasonal temporaries brought, with three people per leaf vacuum. "It's a tough job, a lot of work for those five weeks."

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep wonders if city might have 5 rather than 6 leaf vacuums, used over a longer period of time. Public works head: collection in five weeks is the most efficient. City is divided in to five zones; a sixth as a spare is important.

#TakomaPark council: public works head notes that there are only two folks who can provide leaf vacuums. Bids were for about $78,000 and $88,000; staff recommends going with the low bidder (which comes in $3,000 above the budgeted amount, and so two readings for approval).

#TakomaPark council: final work session item #5: “Leaf Vacuum Replacement.” Public works head retains the helm.

#TakomaPark council: public works head notes four bids for roof replacement, ranging from $137,132 to $211,240. Staff recommends going with the low bidder. Notes that budget amendment #2 covered the difference between the previously estimated cost and the bid cost.

#TakomaPark council: public works head notes that cost of roof replacement was very much underestimated in city's equipment replacement reserve.

#TakomaPark council: so much for adjournment by 11:00.

#TakomaPark council: work session item #4: “Rear Community Center Roof Replacement.” Public works head retains the helm.

#TakomaPark council: ward 1 rep wonders if home chargers are needed for officers who'll be using the vehicles. Public works head: don't yet have a home charger policy; vehicles will go to officers who don't need home chargers; vehicles can be fully charged at 7500 Maple in 20 minutes.

#TakomaPark council: public works head covers costs for the two vehicles (total for two rather than per vehicle): $99,994 for vehicles; $41,497 for emergency equipment; $14,636.40 for radios; $156,127.40 total; $78,063.70 per vehicle.
