Montgomery Delegation Joint Priorities Hearing Testimony

NOTE:  What follows is testimony from Takoma Park Mayor Kate Stewart at the Montgomery County Joint Priorities Hearing on November 18, 2015.

Good evening. I am Kate Stewart, Mayor of the City of Takoma Park. The Takoma Park City Council and I look forward to working with you in the Legislative Session that convenes in January.

Today, however, as nations across the world face terrorism and the fear that terrorism engenders, we ask that you and all of our State leaders make it clear that the word “immigrant” does not equal “terrorist” and the word “Muslim” does not equal “terrorist.” Maryland should be a safe haven for people whose lives have been shattered by war, not a closed door. Takoma Park has a long history of welcoming immigrants and building a caring community, as does Montgomery County. The State of Maryland should do the same.

Takoma Park’s Legislative Priorities

The recent announcement that the State of Maryland is on a firmer financial foundation than originally projected will allow for restoration of funding of several key services or projects. We know that this Delegation will be pursuing restoration of needed school funding for Montgomery County.

We also ask that you pursue:

  • restoration of a full funding formula for municipal Highway User Revenue, and
  • increased funding for small and medium-sized economic development initiatives in our commercial areas and in conjunction with Washington Adventist Hospital on the Takoma Park campus, if the main hospital moves. 

Economic Development

Thank you for your long advocacy for the Purple Line. With the announcement of support of the Purple Line by the Governor, we are now able to finalize plans to spur reinvestment along University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue. However, the cuts to public art and aesthetic features along the line reduce the economic benefits the Purple Line can bring to Takoma Park, Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, and the State of Maryland. Please work to restore these features to the Purple Line. Private investment will be greater when development occurs near an attractive transit facility. Takoma Park prides itself on its public art and we want to see art and streetscape and other aesthetic improvements all along the length of the Purple Line.

Besides making the Purple Line project the best it can be, we will be asking for your help in obtaining State funds for economic development initiatives and infrastructure improvements along University Boulevard, the New Hampshire Avenue Corridor and on the Takoma Park campus of Washington Adventist Hospital. We want New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) to better accommodate transit, bicyclists and pedestrians and we want Community Legacy and other economic development funds to assist businesses in renovating their small commercial properties along the Corridor. We also want to make sure we are not left with an unattractive, largely vacant property in the center of our community if Washington Adventist Hospital receives approval to move its acute care beds to White Oak. Investments in these areas will more than pay for themselves in taxes, jobs and private investment.

Highway User Revenue

As always, we ask your help in restoring Highway User Revenue funding to the FY 2009 levels via a permanent funding formula. Once again, this is the top priority of the Maryland Municipal League because it is so very important. Municipalities simply don’t have the revenue-generating flexibility that counties have to maintain basic infrastructure. Our taxpayers pay for road repairs while residents from the whole region use our roads. Highway User Revenue helps associate the funding for road improvements with the users of those roads. It’s time to fix the HUR funding formula permanently.

In FY 2009, the City of Takoma Park received $509,000 in Highway User Revenue to help pay for road maintenance. In FY 2011, it was down to $43,000. For several years, there have been one-time larger Highway Revenue payments to municipalities included in the State budget, but the formula to provide a reliable source of funds at an adequate level was not included in the Transportation Trust Fund legislation. We strongly supported the Transportation Trust Fund for its other benefits, but municipalities need the section related to Highway User Revenue corrected. While the overall amount of Highway User Revenue for municipalities is small to the State, it is huge for municipalities like Takoma Park that depend on it for funding basic road maintenance. If the formula cannot be corrected this Session, the one-time payments need to continue until the correction can be made.

City Initiatives For Which State Support Is Requested

There are several efforts underway in the City of Takoma Park that will make Takoma Park an even better place to live. We are redeveloping a City-owned lot in our Takoma Junction area into a neighborhood commercial center, we are making plans to renovate and expand our Takoma Park Library, and we will be renovating our Police Department.

The “Takoma Junction” is the intersection of Carroll Avenue (MD 195) and Ethan Allen Avenue (MD 410 or “East-West Highway”) in Takoma Park. The area is terribly congested most of the day, slows car and bus travel through town and is unsafe for pedestrians or bicyclists. State Highway has done a preliminary concept plan for a limited reconfiguration of the intersection that would be a great improvement. A well-functioning, safe intersection will help our Takoma Junction development project succeed. However, funding for this road work needs to be allocated. We ask for your support of this State Highway project.

Takoma Park will be doing the design work for our library and police department renovations in the coming year. As we move forward on these needed projects, we may be requesting Bond Bills for them in a future year.

State Programs We Wish to See Protected

The City of Takoma Park has benefited from its State-authorized stormwater fee system and speed camera program, and we have benefited from the Community Legacy program and Program Open Space funding. Please continue to protect these programs, and work to expand funding for Community Legacy and Program Open Space.

We also wish to continue to see progress on environmental protection programs. Takoma Park has used a number of Maryland programs to help pay for innovative stormwater systems to ensure clean water in the streams that go to the Chesapeake Bay and to pay for energy-saving fixtures and improvements to reduce energy consumption. Besides the environmental benefits of these programs, many of them result in reduced energy costs for our residents, businesses and our government facilities.

Again, in the upcoming Legislative Session, we ask that the Montgomery Delegation pursues:

  • restoration of a full funding formula for municipal Highway User Revenue, and
  • funding for Takoma Park’s economic development initiatives.

And, we invite you to take a tour of Takoma Park!

We invite you to visit Takoma Park, take a tour of our commercial areas, see our plans for the Takoma Junction project, the Takoma Park Library and Police Department. Feel free to contact City Manager Suzanne Ludlow or myself and we will make the arrangements to meet your schedule.

Thank you for the opportunity of addressing you today.

Recommended Decision Issued on Washington Adventist Hospital Request to Move

The Recommended Decision of Maryland Health Care Commissioner Frances B. Phillips was issued late on November 18, 2015. The recommendation is to approve, with five conditions, the Certificate of Need request for Washington Adventist Hospital to move most of its operations to a new location in the White Oak area of Montgomery County.

Maryland Health Care Commission Press Release

Press Release from the Maryland Health Care Commissioner (Includes a link to the full Recommended Decision.)

Approval Conditions

The first two approval conditions of the Recommended Decision affect Takoma Park. They are:

  1. “Adventist HealthCare, Inc. must open an urgent care center on its Takoma Park campus coinciding with its closure of general hospital operations on that campus. The urgent care center must be open every day of the year, and be open 24 hours a day. Adventist HealthCare, Inc. may not eliminate this urgent care center or reduce its hours of operation without the approval of the Maryland Health Care Commission.”
  2. “In the fourth year of operation of a replacement Washington Adventist Hospital, Adventist HealthCare, Inc. shall provide a report to the Maryland Health Care Commission on the operation of the specialty hospital for psychiatric services in Takoma Park. This report must review patient intake and transport issues, coordination of care for psychiatric patients between the White Oak and Takoma Park campuses, and the specific financial performance of the special hospital, exclusive of the operation of Adventist Behavioral Health and Wellness overall.”

Conditions three through five of the approval relate to the shell space in the new hospital building and how that space may not be developed or used in financial computations without the approval of the Maryland Health Care Commission.

Recommended Decision & Schedule of Action

The Recommended Decision will go before the full Maryland Health Care Commission on December 17, 2015 for a final decision.

The schedule of action on the Recommended Decision:

  • Submissions of exceptions to the Recommended Decision are due by noon, December 2, 2015.
  • Submissions of responses to the exception submissions are due by 4:30 pm, December 10, 2015.
  • Exceptions Hearing before the Commission is at 1 pm on December 17, 2015.

Staff is reviewing the recommendation and will be discussing it with the Takoma Park City Council in Closed Session on Monday, November 23. We may have a formal comment at a later time.

The Takoma Park Campus

In the Certificate of Need application, Adventist HealthCare, Inc. stated its intention to have the following health care services on the Takoma Park campus: an urgent care facility in the location of the current Emergency Department, a special psychiatric hospital (a stand-alone version of the current Behavioral Health in-patient unit of the hospital), a rehabilitation hospital (currently located within Washington Adventist Hospital), and on-campus laboratory and radiology services to support those units. A Federally Qualified Health Center on the campus will remain and be expanded. Washington Adventist University intends on leasing 50,000 square feet of hospital building space for its use.

The Takoma Park campus is on Carroll Avenue in the center of the City of Takoma Park, along Sligo Creek Stream Valley Park. The zoning of the site is R-60 Single-family Residential. While the site is limiting for a large hospital facility, it has proved to be an excellent location for community health services. There may be a desire to have other uses on the site, such as educational, recreational, and/or neighborhood commercial uses. How zoning would be handled for any additional desired uses is yet to be determined. The City will be conferring with hospital and Montgomery County and State officials on next steps related to the Takoma Park campus.

City Comments

The relocation of Washington Adventist Hospital’s main hospital out of the City was expected, but is a disappointment to the City of Takoma Park. Washington Adventist Hospital has been an integral part of the history and fabric of Takoma Park. Over the last year, the City Council, Staff, and residents have worked diligently to ensure that throughout the Certificate of Need process the needs of Takoma Park residents have been front and center.

As a result of our hard work and persistence, the top condition of the Commissioner’s recommended approval is the maintenance of an urgent care facility at the Takoma Park campus, to be operated every day, 24 hours per day, beginning as soon as the hospital move takes place. This will ensure that there is no gap in care for the primary care service that our community needs. Clearly, the Commissioner recognized the need for these services based on the information the City presented.

The City and community has advocated that a Freestanding Medical Facility (stand-alone emergency department) be located on the Takoma Park campus. State regulations related to Freestanding Medical Facilities are in development. Washington Adventist Hospital has pledged to seriously consider requesting authorization to establish such a facility, if such a facility is financially feasible.

Over the past several years, City Councilmembers and the City Manager have formed close working relationships with the former and current President of Washington Adventist Hospital. Both the City and the Hospital want to see the Takoma Park campus retain a robust array of health care services in an attractive setting. The City has been assured that the dialog and collaboration will continue.

Beta Update

From Craig Terrill, Media Specialist of Takoma Park:

As of Tuesday, November 17, 2015 beta.takomaparkmd.gov is officially takomaparkmd.gov!

We’re Still In Beta for the Next Thirty Days

The new version of takomaparkmd.gov is a pretty radical departure from the previous website. All the technology to run it is brand new and we’re still working in the City to import, sort and improve content.

The plan, as of the publishing of this post, is to stay in beta for the next thirty days.  During those next thirty days…

We Still Need Your Help

The best suggestions on how to improve takomaparkmd.gov come from our users. We still need to hear about the good stuff, the bad stuff and the ugly stuff. Use the Make a Suggestion & Report Bugs form and tell us about your experience.

What Next?

It is our sincere hope as City staff that takomaparkmd.gov continues to evolve and improve. We’ve spent the last 12 months stripping our web program down to the bare metal. The rebuilt website is much easier to maintain, add content to and use and we’re excited that our residents and stakeholders finally get to use it.

Stay tuned for a City Blog post in mid-December detailing the web development process and a detailed rundown of takomaparkmd.gov’s new features.

…and After That?

We want to get ideas up on the whiteboard! We’d love to hear ideas from our users as to what a “phase II” web project will look like. Send an email to, me, the Media Specialist (craigt@takomaparkmd.gov) so I can make sure it is a part of the discussion.

2015 Vacuum Leaf Collection Schedule

Vacuum leaf vacuum leaf collection for calendar year 2015 is scheduled to start on November 16 and continue for a five week period through December 18. Leaf collection is dependent on the weather; rain or freezing conditions can slow collection.

Most streets in Takoma Park do not have an assigned collection day. Residents can rake leaves to the curb at their convenience during the five week period.

Collection Routes With Assigned Collection Dates

There are five streets that receive collection on scheduled dates. Most of these streets are Maryland State Highway Administration routes and typically have a heavy volume of traffic. The routes and scheduled dates are:

Takoma Park streets with scheduled leaf collection dates:
 Scheduled DatesStreets
Saturday, November 21Carroll Avenue / MD 195 (7000 to 7800 block)
Monday, December 21Carroll Avenue / MD 195 (7000 to 7800 block)
Saturday, November 21Ethan Allen Avenue / MD 410
Monday, December 21Ethan Allen Avenue / MD 410
Saturday, November 21Philadelphia Avenue / MD 410
Monday, December 21Philadelphia Avenue / MD 410
Monday, November 23Piney Branch Road / MD 320
Saturday, December 12Piney Branch Road / MD 320
Monday, November 23Flower Avenue (7900 to 8600 block)
Saturday, December 12Flower Avenue (7900 to 8600 block)

Leaf Collection Hotline

Public Works has a Leaf Collection Hotline in season at 301-891-7626. Call the Leaf Collection Hotline to notify Public Works when leaves have been raked out to the curb. Public Works tries to collect leaf piles reported on the hotline within 10 days of a call.

Important Fall Leaf Collection Information

The fall leaf collection schedule is subject to holiday changes. The Holiday Collection Schedule page details how the schedule is set and when collection dates are changed due to a holiday.

From the Yard Waste & Fall Leaf Collection page:

  • Leaves should be placed into a pile at the edge of the curb.
  • Avoid piling leaves where cars are likely to be parked.
  • Do not rake leaves into the street. Leaf piles create traffic hazards.
  • Do not include branches, brush, vines, rocks or debris. These items damage equipment and delay collection.
  • Do not pile leaves near storm drain inlets. Leaves can block the drains and cause flooding problems.
  • Do not park your car in front of a leaf pile. Restricting access to leaf piles delays collection.

Fall 2015 Message From the City Manager

From Suzanne Ludlow, City Manager of Takoma Park:

Dear Residents, Happy fall! As the air grows crisper, the leaves turn yellow and red, and jack o’lanterns decorate front porches, all Takoma Park eyes look forward to….elections!

Yes, Takoma Park city elections are on November 3 and early voting starts this week. Nearly every resident 16 years old or older may vote in our city elections. While people generally think of federal and state elections as more important, remember that most public services that affect the comfort, safety and enjoyment of your home and neighborhood are provided by the City of Takoma Park.

Each ballot will have three things to vote on – who should be the Councilmember for your Ward, who should be the Mayor, and an advisory question on whether or not you support moving Takoma Park elections to even-numbered years to be consistent with federal and state elections.

Your vote is important, and the Board of Elections works hard to help make voting easy. Look for the pullout Elections section of the Takoma Park Newsletter or go to elections.takomaparkmd.gov for everything you need to know about this year’s election and how to vote. Besides the important business of elections, there are a couple of other matters I want to draw your attention to—

Takoma Park Library Renovation Plan

A concept plan for a remodeled Takoma Park Library will be presented to the Council on Thursday, October 29. See the plan on the Library Renovation page.

I am really excited and pleased with this proposal. The walls of the library would move a little closer to Philadelphia and would fill in space on the parking lot side. The mosaic would stay in place. A welcoming main entrance would be on the parking lot side. Just one tree on the Philadelphia Avenue side would need to be removed.

The renovated library would have windows on the Philadelphia Avenue side, allowing people to see in and readers to enjoy the light and the trees. Inside, new bathrooms, a room for programs and flexible space for books, computers, tables and gatherings will allow the library to meet the vision of a 21st Century library, perfectly sized for Takoma Park.

I’m particularly pleased with this plan because just a modest building enlargement will allow for a terrific community library. The current structure is in bad shape – it’s worn out. It is only usable due to a great library staff and our creative facilities manager who has found ways to provide heat or air conditioning most of the time it’s needed. The building does not meet ADA or environmental sustainability standards. Even if we did not do the small enlargement proposed, we would need to overhaul the building. It makes sense to improve both the systems and the functionality of the building at this time. We will be getting some cost estimates soon and those will be discussed with Council and the public. The City would need to borrow money to pay for the improvements, as we always must for major capital projects. We will look to make wise design choices and then monitor the project closely to keep costs down, while getting a project we will be proud of. I look forward to hearing from you about this proposal.

Snow Removal Policies

Council will be voting on snow removal policies in the next weeks. One main revision of current law would require earlier removal of snow from sidewalks so that people can get to school and bus stops safely when it snows. Fine amounts for not clearing snow promptly would be reduced from the current $200, but would increase with subsequent violations. For those residents with sidewalks that are difficult to clear completely (such as those between a curb and a retaining wall), at least a three-foot wide path must be cleared. Check out the proposed Snow and Ice Regulations Ordinance is in the October 29, 2015 City Council Meeting packet.

Website and Software Improvements

In my last Message from the City Manager, I reported that work was being done on three major software systems over the summer. We have completed the transition to a new financial system and a new time and attendance system. We will move to a new website right after the elections. You can check out our Beta version of the new website and make comments on it now. Go to takomaparkmd.gov and see how it works for you. There is still content being moved into the pages and the search functions are still limited, but I think you’ll like it. If you find a problem, there is a brief reporting survey there to let us know what it is.

I want to give a shout out to our IT, Finance Department, and Human Resources staff and to our Media Specialist and web consultants for the terrific, and really hard, work they have put in to make our software transitions take place. There was no down time for them this summer. Work remains, but we are past the big hurdles. They just did a great job.

Finally, Halloween is this Saturday, with the fun Monster Bash on Carroll Avenue during the day and trick or treating in the evening. It’s a great community gathering time.

Halloween is a special day at my house because it’s my husband’s birthday. In addition to Halloween candy, we get birthday cake!

I hope your Halloween is happy and safe and then on November 3, you vote!

Best,

The new takomaparkmd.gov is now in beta

From Craig Terrill, Media Specialist of Takoma Park:

About takomaparkmd.gov

Welcome to beta.takomaparkmd.gov! This is a bottom up rethinking of how a municipal website will work and serve the guests and residents of Takoma Park.

We Invite Participation

We’re opening the beta so we can finish the new website out in the open. This is website is still under construction. Content is missing. There are going to be glitches. The design may still be a bit loose here and there. Navigation may be confusing in places.

That all being said… we’re getting close to a full launch and want to show our neighbors where we are at now that the site is starting to take its final shape.

We’d Like Your Help

Play around and tell us what you think by taking a very short survey.

We want to hear the good stuff, the bad stuff and the ugly stuff. We also would like to know a little bit about you and how you plan to use takomaparkmd.gov.

What Happens Next?

The beta phase of the new version of takomaparkmd.gov is the culmination of over eight months of technical development and content work. Over the next few weeks we’re using this public beta to find bugs and solicit user feedback as we finish out importing content. Once our web content has been imported this website will replace the website that is currently located at takomaparkmd.gov.

…and After That?

We’re thinking about it already. We’d love to hear ideas from the community as to what a “phase II” web project will look like. Send an email to, me, the Media Specialist (craigt@takomaparkmd.gov) so I can make sure it is a part of the discussion.

Thanks!

I’d like to thank staff and council who have made getting this website to beta possible. I’ve been truly humbled by the how Takoma Park staff have pitched in and helped make this beta launch a reality.
